[Highland Park] Floor Refinishers
by Richard Kuroski 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hi All, Here is the input we received on hardwood floor redo's Rich and Bonnee ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call OBHI Lic and Ins. 412-805-5602 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We loved "The Sandman". Try Googling it if you are interested. (I forget his real name). Maryanne ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 References: Calabreeze Floors in Verona 3 References: A Satin Finish Mikes Flooring 412/279-9356 2 References: Leghard Brothers 412/819-0559 R&R Floors – Ron 412/980-6043 The Sand Man 1 Reference: Keith Ohm 412/461-1650 Don Hinchman 412/337-2672 Ron Waldo 412/884-7020 Mark Connally 412/782-5518 Dan Hinchman 412/337-2672 Coit ---------------------------------------------- B & D flooring did a wonderful job on our old hardwood floors. They had probably not been uncovered since the house was built. That was several years ago now and they still look great. They were helpful, honest and prefessional. --------------------------------------------- Try Leghart Brothers. They did a great job on my floors. 412-965-9486 -------------------------------------------- We used the Sandman. He did good work -------------------------------------------- Here's a list from the HP email serve I kept from Sept. 2008, Tony 1. Calebrese flooring from Verona (2 Votes). I recommended them to my neighbor who is having them refinish her floors her in Highland Park today! Could show you some recent work done for me. I find their prices comparable. The best thing I like - they're fast! 2. If you are still looking for someone, I cannot recommend Paul Calabrese highly enough. He did a fabulous job for us and gave us the best price of the quotes we got. His number is 412-828-1160. 3. I used A Satin Finish and was very pleased. Timely; great work; good clean-up.They were recommended to me and I have since recommended them to many people. http://www.asatinfinish.com/ 4. Jim "the sandman" Williamson is great and reasonable. (412) 928-8553, 14124980539 5. Eight years ago we had Coit ("floorRENEW") refinish hardwood floors in a bedroom and hallway. They did a really nice job. The cost was $540 6. Try a-z flooring 412.877-8418 7. My fiancee and I had our floors redone last year by Mike Jones. I think he's based in Carnegie. His number is 412-279-9356. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I do rehabbing and have done floors myself in the past and have hired others. Mike is in a league of his own. He's fairly priced, does a very good job, has a good eye for detail, and doesn't hesitate to tell you if something isn't required. He is also unbelievably clean. If you're familiar with floor refinishing, you know that it generates incredible amounts of dust. Mike uses industrial vacuums attached to all his sanders and leaves no residue at all. We anticipated having to clean our house thoroughly when he was done. We started wiping walls and doors and windows and found nothing. We happily stopped and spend our time enjoying our new floors 8. We're having ours done, starting tomorrow, so I don't yet have first-hand experience. But the guy who's doing it comes highly recommended by someone who has had him work for her quite a bit. His name is Delbert and his phone number is 724-493-4072. He's charging $2300 for three bedrooms and a staircase plus $200 for removing the carpet.He usually prefers to work in the late afternoons/evenings. 9. Try Leghart Brothers Inc. (412) 819-0559. They return your phone call; they come when they say they will; do a great job; they charge a reasonable price with no surprises 10. We have had both oak and pine floor refinished in our home by a friend who is a contractor. He did a really wonderful job! His name is Dan Hinchman and his email is dhinchman(a)verizon.net. You can also reach him at 412-337-2672. He's a great guy to work with (polite, honest, reliable) 11. Mark Connolly Contracting does a wonderful job! 412-782-5518 ---------------------------------------------------------------- I highly recommend Mike Jones Floor company: 412-279-9356 He's done a number of floors for me. Very competitive pricing, great work and very clean ------------------------------------------------------------------

[Highland Park] request for mechanical take-apart items
by Nicholas Delphia 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

I'm a teacher at a girls school, running a club for middle school students where they are given tools and objects to take apart/ attempt to put back together. The girls learn a lot from taking these objects apart, and even more trying to reassemble them (a few had never seen a typewriter before). Working order not necessary, but appreciated. Mechanical objects are always welcome (eg. old record players, mechanical typewriters, bicycles, door knobs w/ latches, etc.) but, please, no computers. Send me an email if you have something you're willing to donate. Nick Delphia
