Total Floor Service recently completed two (2) timber flooring projects for us in Somers. Their level of service, experience and quality is superb. Thank you Hany Moustafa.

AVOID AVOID AVOID

Hany and his team were contracted to replace damaged Tasmanian Oak boards and re-sand the entire house (130sqm).
The quality of the work and the entire team’s overall professionalism was horrendous!

Hany and his team were given three attempts to correct shoddy work.
After three attempts, Hany assured us the quality of the work completed was the absolute best possible outcome.

Unhappy with the result, we ended up getting an independent report completed by the ATFA (Australian Timber Flooring Association).
In that report it states the work completed does NOT meet industry expectations or Australian Standards.

Issues included, but weren’t limited to:
- Ripples and rough texture across the surface of the floors
- Visible roller lap lines in the coating
- Varying gloss levels in the coating
- Visible Sanding marks
- Sunken and missing filler
- Finish imperfections on the staircase
- Over-sanded boards (now need replacing)
- Improper ‘replaced’ boards (i.e. tongue & grove missing – causing vertical movement).
- Instead of staggering boards (for install), simply cut a line into the entrance way and started again (photos below show what i mean).
- Polish drip marks
- Polishing debris into the floors (hair, wood chips etc).

The ATFA report recommended that the ENTIRE house be redone.

On top of the horrible job completed – the team were extremely unprofessional.
They left rubbish littered all over the front and back yard, they left all damaged floor boards under the house, we found cigarette butts inside the house (on our newly sanded floors), and Hany himself sent us abusive and threatening emails.

Do yourself a favour and do NOT do business with this man.

Have a look at my google review for photos.

This spoiled & brainless girl client was a nightmare to deal with, we have tried all possible way to explain to them the condition of their floor and the best achievement of their job, but no way to understand, they have 40 years old timber floor which was buried under tiles & carpet for that long, it was used as a subfloor and was full of all you can imagine of stains, black marks, sunken boards and different textures on some boards and they want it polished with water based polish which will show any imperfection of the current floor, we have been back & forth for this job trying to satisfy this client, but found no way with them as they can't understand the fact that some imperfections on an old floor can't be removed as they could be deeper in the timber and beyond sanding & our contol.
99% of our customers are happy with our service and they always thank us for our service by emails & live reviews, this is the first time ever in 22 years in this business to meet a client who can't understands simple facts about timber floor even after hours of site explanations, the result is no way with these minds.
so we decided to refund them as we are so busy and don't have time for disputes.so, why they posted a bad review then? they are sadist people who like to do as much harm as they can, what a shame on this personality!!!!

A clear example of Hany's professionalism.

I have photos and a copy of the ATFA report if anyone is interested.

Total Floors did a satisfactory job sanding, staining and polishing our floors, however there were a few factors which made the experience on the whole average to poor.

- They did not visit the property to inspect the floors before quoting and were later told we had to pay extra to remove the ‘water proofing’ stain previously used on the floors even though this went contrary to what a previous trade had advised on inspection.
- They were delayed on the job by over a day but did not advise us and in fact reassured us that the work was underway – only to later be told that actually the work had been delayed and would not be completed within the agreed timeframe.
- There was damage to several walls/door frames (we assume from the sanding equipment), however they have refused to accept any responsibility despite the fact that there were no other persons/trades accessing the property at the time the damage was done. It is impossible for it to have occurred any other way.
- They don’t clean up well – the skirting boards in every room have some damage, floor staining and/or clumps of saw dust stuck to them which we’re now having to clean & repaint. A number of sanding belts were also discarded on the veranda and in the house. We were told that “all their customers allow for this” … however we don’t consider this best practice or acceptable.

We have two friends who deal in flooring independently advise on what we should expect from a good sand & polish experience and unfortunately all the above goes contrary to that advise.
In conclusion we would suggest that if you’re looking for a comprehensive, 5 star experience, look elsewhere.

Approximate cost: $4200

It is a disaapointing feedback Nick, there are some wrong notes here contrary to our agreement in writing:
1- We have agreed to inspect the house on a certain day and were waiting for your confirmation about the time with the previous owner of the house, but you forgot to confirm this in a timely manner, so it is totally your fault and you have admitted that, so why blaming us now????
2- We have informed you in writing the following"please note that some bags of timber dust will be left on site which you can dispose them in the green bin as they are organic waste", so why denying that now????
3- We have started the job before the agreed time as we sent our team on Sat 9th Dec before the agreed day of Mon 11th Dec, so why saying the opposite in your feedback?????
4- we have finished the job on Sat 16th Dec before you move in on Monday 18th, it is 48 hours beofre you got your furniture delivered and it is quite enough for the floor to harden, we have run just one day late as our team made a serious accident just few meters from your home as they collided with the tram and their vehile was written off, but even though we meneged to finish your job in a timely manner, why you haven't taken this into consideration????
5- We have informed you in writing the following on 11th Nov " please also note that if the floor found with paint & glue on top, this will take extra time from our sanders and consume much more sanding belts and we have to charge a bit extra to cover this extra cost", so why denying that now????
6- we appoligized for some scratches to the skirting which are easily can be touched up without any drama and it is not common to happen, but likely because our team was stressed out due to the car accident at the time, we are human like anyone else and can be affected by a major event like this, so you don't have any consideration to such a thing??????

...I am dissappointing that you have spent such a time to just do harms to others and I am sure if you were extremly happy with the job you will never spent that time to write such a long review!!!!!!very dissapointing after this long & hard effort to serve you!!!!

We had a Grand Opening in our new warehouse and our vinyl floors were covered in dirt and grease due to the many builders coming and going and it could not be removed with a mop. Thanks to Hany from Total Floor Service he came to our rescue and removed all dirt and grease and then applied 3 coats of polish Our floors now look new and all dirt etc. can now be removed so easily with a mop. Thanks again Hany

“Total Floor Sanding has reinvigorated our 1860s baltic pine flooring to an outstanding level.
Everyone who has seen the floor since its sanding and polishing remarks at the superb job done by Total Floor Sanding.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

We had 5 separate quotes which were significantly less than this one. None of the other companies requested a deposit before commencing. on the date and time, [redacted name] was half an hour late to do the in-person quote. He sat in his vehicle for about 15 minutes prior before coming in. Advised that he had trouble "finding our address" - ??? Finally, comes in, never gave a reason for being late and then we advised that our time was valuable too, [redacted inflammatory comment] He asked us if we "wanted our deposit back" - our response was of course yes. I am a contractor myself and lost wages waiting on a 'late-show'! Also, he decided that we could not rely on this 'service' we relinquished our request obviously, but he felt that it was OK to withhold $80 for a so-called "call out" fee. Advised that they do not normally "quote in person" at such "small jobs" - That's fine! We found an amazing replacement, $600 cheaper with a lifetime guarantee - Caveat Emptor!

Approximate cost: $1850

This client was telling lies and was quite rude to me when I came there, I was in front of his home 10 mins late but I was in a phone call and came inside his home 20 mins late from the appointment (just after finishing the phone call) which is should be fogivable considering the heavy traffic in Melboune, his wife greeted me with shower of questions as I am a kid in front of his teatcher (she must be a teatcher) and she didn't even give me the chance to apologise for the delay, she was talking very arrogantly and I controlled my anger from this terriable meeting and just ask them if they want not do business with us, they seems coming from another world and not from the same planet we live in, they teated me very rude with no respect, so I can't do business with such people for sure, my advice to them to go for a social counselling program to be trained about talking & respecting others to gain their respect.

I would not recommend this business to anyone! After being delayed 2 hours for my appointment the workers left my tiled hallways full of water and my 2 year old slipped and fell! After asking them to clean it up they did a poor job of that too so when I asked again to clean up missed bits I coped attitude and was yelled at!

We have done a fantastic carpet cleaning job there and we explained to her the reason behind our delay on the phone and on arrival and she accepted that, the tiles at the hallway were too filthy and we thought that the client doesn't bother wiping as it is in need for a proper clean and after a request to wipe the water spills there we did it but then she started yelling with a foul mouth and show no respect to us, then we have to yell back as we can't tolerate a client with foul mouth, we don't mind responding to any request from a respected client as we always do but those who don't respect others should only blame themselves or go for good moral lessons!!!!

Hany communicated the process to a tee, our floors are now sparkling once more. Value for money, great customer service and would highly recommend. Both Hany are his son were welcoming and professional, we would have them back again when needed.
Many Thanks

Thanks Richard, it was a pleasure serving you in your floor polishing job and looking forward to serve you again in a new job soon.
