What Our Customers Are Saying
"I highly recommend these folks. My wife and I recently built a new home. We made plenty of mistakes, but hiring Through the Woods is one of our best decisions. We installed 2000 ft of Du Chateau wood and the floors came out beautifully!"
Dan S., South Tampa
"You were certainly correct when you said you could make our floors look as good as when they were installed. However, I think you underestimated your abilities - I think they look better than when they were installed! After the sanding, the boards became so smooth and level. Chris was able to match the original stain color perfectly."
Ed and Sue Mc D., Palm Harbor
"You and the entire Through the Woods team did a fabulous job from the first day until the last. Not only was your response time during the sales process prompt, but the same level of service continued through the entire job."
Angela A., Lutz
"Through the Woods refinished the downstairs oak flooring in our home. The quality and care that Chris took with all stages of the project was fabulous. The floors turned out beautiful! We will soon gear up and have our upstairs done too!"
Brenda C., Tampa Heights
