From our Customers...
My husband and I are very happy with the job done by Hardwood Café. We had prefinished red oak hardwood floor installed in the main room/living room and office. They came when they said they would, and finished the job when they said they would. Both of us are very happy with the end results and continue to be happy six months later!

Tom responded quickly to our request for an estimate. He accommodated me on my day off and wrote the quote up on the spot. He followed up with a phone call, but was not pushy. He was always accessible by phone while doing the work. The work was precise and very well done.

Karen
Tom, thank you for doing such a nice job. It was great coming home and finding my beautiful floor.

Edward and Erika
You have done an excellent job at a fair price. We were particularly impressed by the way you paid attention to our special requests and then took the time to find the wood we wanted. Friends and neighbors who visited us after the floor was put in had nothing but praise. Best regards.

Glenda
The room was part carpet and part hardwood that had been installed about 10 years ago. Hardwood Café replaced the carpeted area with hardwood and then resanded and refinished the old wood. You can't tell where the old wood stops and the new wood starts. The project lasted five days with minimum disruption. They were prompt in the mornings, showing up before I had to leave for work and finishing for the day before I returned home from work.

Kim
They are excellent. They have done work before for us, including refinishing wood floors. They are very conscientious and keep their work area very clean. We are VERY pleased with everything that they have done for us. We highly recommend them.

Elaine
We're just delighted with our new oak floor from Hardwood Café! Tom and his crew were great to work with, and did a beautiful job. Tom is honest, reliable, and very knowledgeable about hardwood floors. We're very glad we hired Hardwood Café!

David and Lynda
"Fabulous floor!" That's what people say when they walk in our front door and see the work Tom and crew did for us. Our new oak floor makes our house look clean, neat, and very classy! We were told to have him do it, and we are glad we took that advice. He gave us professional service, detailed workmanship, and many good design ideas.

Chad
Hardwood Café did a superior job at a competitive price. The crew was respectful of my family, my home, even my dog. Every effort I could think of, and some that I did not, were taken to keep the family happy and comfortable during the displacement to the "down stairs". I am equally impressed with the finished job as I am with the men who did the work.

Shelly
We are very happy with our beautiful wood floor! Even those who see our home for the first time remark about the beauty of the floor. The color, craftsmanship, and layout of the wood are lovely. It has completely changed how we feel about our home. Tom Narwold and the Hardwood Café team were delightful to work with.

Amber
Tom was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt with all appointments, easy to reach, started on time and ended when expected. His team was friendly and professional and I'm thrilled with the results. I couldn't recommend Hardwood Café more highly.

Jacy
OHMYGOSH!! The work you've all done has blown us away. We cannot thank you enough. It is really a work of art you have created. Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!!!

Denise
They installed hardwood flooring in both of our children's rooms. They said it would take two days and it took two days. They arrived when they said they would and they cleaned up everything when they were done. We will be using them again as soon as we save up enough to do another bedroom.

Carrie
Tom, thank you so much for doing such a fine job on my flooring! It looks amazing and I will not hesitate to refer Hardwood Café to all my friends! Thanks again.
