My husband and I were in the early stages of a home renovation and I had decided that I would remove some of the carpeting and old hardwood myself. Unfortunately, as a I began removing some of the hardwood, it quickly became obvious that I was outside my level of ability. The hardwood had been superglued to a particle board subfloor and as I pryed up the floor boards, parts of the subfloor were coming up with them.
In consultation with my contractor, he brought in Blair Berg from Enviro Surface Removal who responded the next day by coming to site and investigating the flooring. Blair determined that the particle board was sitting on 3/8" plywood which is not up to current standards. In addition, the particle board is not the appropriate material on which to lay a new hardwood floor. Blair also brought in his partner Bob Logan on a Saturday to get a second opinion. In the end, it was agreed that all of the particle board and existing surfaces (lino & hardwood) would have to be removed before a new layer of plywood could be installed as the subfloor.
The removal team, Senior, Junior & Darko arrived on time and quickly set to work. The work was completed within one long full day and the work area was left clean and tidy.
Blair and everyone at Enviro were great to work with and their speedy response to my emergency were very much appreciated. They truly went above and beyond in saving me and my project timeline.
I highly recommend Enviro Surface Removal and would definately work with them again. They are responsive, professional and provide excellent customer care.
