We hired Bell Hardwood Floors for a hardwood flooring installation totaling approximately $26,000. What followed was a complete nightmare.
Defective boards were installed throughout the floor. When this was brought to their attention, Bell Hardwood Floors refused to replace the defective material and instead offered to fill visible defects with wax. That is not an acceptable or professional repair and does not correct the problem.
During the installation, significant damage was also caused to our kitchen cabinets. At Bell Hardwood Floors’ request, I obtained a written repair estimate from a qualified cabinet refinishing professional. The estimated cost to properly repair the damage is approximately $12,000. After receiving the estimate, the owner, Johnathan, stated the amount was too high and then said they would deny responsibility for the damage entirely, despite admitting he is not an expert in cabinet refinishing.
All of this is documented. The estimate came from an actual expert. Refusing to accept professional documentation while disclaiming expertise is not ethical or responsible business behavior.
As a disabled veteran, I expected honesty, accountability, and basic professionalism. Instead, I was met with deflection, refusal to stand behind workmanship, and an apparent attempt to avoid responsibility once damage was discovered.
I am now left with no option but to pursue legal action. Take your money elsewhere. This company is not worth the headache, the financial risk, or the stress that comes when something goes wrong.
