Our Client 'Piped Up' About Her Two Refinishing Experiences... One With a Buzz, One Without!
We smoked a recent wood floor job—in and out fast, gorgeous results, everyone happy. As we were wrapping up, our client decided to share a little story. It started with, “Marvin was fantastic. His work speaks for itself. The floors are beautiful. But let me tell you about a refinishing job I had done 15 years ago…”
She said the last job actually looked fine when it was done—but the guy doing the work? A little too “relaxed,” let’s say.
Apparently, while the refinishing was underway, a friend dropped by, walked in the front door, and said, “Uh… you know the guy sanding your floors is out on your porch smoking weed, right?”
You know that tone people use right before they spill the tea? That's the one.

Apparently, while the refinishing was underway, a friend dropped by, walked in the front door, and said, “Uh… you know the guy sanding your floors is out on your porch smoking week, right?
It didn’t stop there.
She told us that, just like she kindly offered Marvin and me water or soda from the fridge in the garage, she had extended the same hospitality to this guy. Only difference? After he finished the job and left, she realized he’d also helped himself to a full case of beer.
Yep, a case.
At that point, all three of us were laughing. Marvin piped up (pun intended), “You don’t have to worry about me. I drink maybe twice a year—only with my best friend—and I don’t touch weed.”
Getting buzzed has no place in professional work!
Look, in today’s world, maybe a little buzz is seen as no big deal. But on the job? No way.
In our world—my world—there’s no place for weed or firewater. We don’t tolerate it. Ever. Earning your trust means everything to us. And let’s be real: sanding wood floors is no joke. It’s tough, technical work that demands precision and a clear head. You can’t just light up, crank some Buffett, and stumble through hoping it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.
We work clean. We work sharp. We work sober.
So if your last refinishing job was a little too buzzed or left you floor out of joint, give us a call. We’ll make it right. Call 609.953.0472 or CONTACT US online.
We won’t be bugging you, selling your contact info, or otherwise making you regret signing up. We will just be sending you an occasional message with articles and our digital magazine, Surface BUZZ, from time to time (you’ll love it, we promise!) and on occasion a little reminder that we are there for you for your surface care needs.
