We have a 1600sqft house, wanted to get around 1400sqft with oak floors. New to the area and got a quote from floor crafters for around 14,000-15,000 dollars.

If you are willing to work with it Ed is the man to have working with you.

When I talked with the guy who was replacing rotted pieces on my 100 year old window why he did this type of work, he said that he "just loved working with wood" and it shows. Throughout our repairs we found more damage that we had not discovered previously. Ed and his workers came back and finished those repairs in
