"We hired Eldren Akins for our 1928 colonial in Grosse Pointe. They sanded and refinished the original oak floors throughout the entire first floor. The attention to detail was remarkable — they matched the new boards perfectly with the originals."
"From the estimate to the final coat, everything was professional. They showed up on time, kept our home clean, and the dark walnut stain is exactly what we envisioned. Can't recommend them enough."
"Third time using them and they never disappoint. The floors look magnificent — like they were just installed yesterday. Fair pricing, honest communication, and craftsmanship that's hard to find these days."
