“Of all the remodeling professions, floor refinishing offers one of the most dramatically beautiful before-and-after experiences,” says Greg Fayton of Fayton’s Floors. “But the Dust Factor can scare people off.” For his clients’ health and convenience, Greg designed a 99% dust free sanding system. He and his family have been expertly installing and refinishing hardwood floors since 1982.
Greg’s unique dust-free sanding system virtually eliminates the massive dust accumulation typically created during floor refinishing. Whereas most refinishers cover everything with plastic and hope for the best, Greg attaches long vacuum hoses to his machines, whisking the dust to storage bags outside the home. “The customer could eat dinner while we sand around the table!” he jokes. This, in addition to the artisan’s touch, attention to detail, and the kind of personal service you can only get from a well-run small business, makes Fayton’s Floors a great choice for your floor refinishing.
On top of all that, you get Greg himself: friendly and trustworthy. He personally works on every job from first estimate through final coat. Though he works with a couple of helpers he trained himself, he wouldn’t dream of farming a job out to a third party—he prefers to see the work done properly, so he can witness his clients’ surprise when they first encounter their new floors. “It makes me feel good to see their happy faces.”
Tip: When selecting a contractor the most important thing is to rely on references. And not just any references—recent ones!
Greg advertised as a dust-free sanding expert. We were skeptical but, as we were doing a number of rooms, a large family room, a long hall and three bedrooms, we decided that less dust would be good enough! When all was said and done, there was virtually no dust! We did get some other estimates and Fayton’s rates seemed fair. Greg is very responsible. He always came on time and did what he said he was going to do. We did shop around. My husband and I are highly allergic people, too. Greg said he would get the job done in six days and he did just that, even though he redid a couple of places on some of the floors. We did not even ask him to. He just felt he needed to. We are pleased to let everyone know about Greg’s work. My husband is not an easy person to please and he says, “Fayton’s is excellent!”

Greg put a hardwood floor on a cement slab for us. He explained exactly what he was going to do, and did it. The job went quite quickly and he was on time every day. The floor is terrific! Just gorgeous! I will refer him to family and friends. He refinished some other floors for us a few years back. I did initially shop around and his prices are right where the others are. The dust-free sanding is really amazing. I have a cuckoo clock from the Black Forest that I treasure and it was dust-free!

Greg is easy-going and personable. He was referred to me by a friend that I trust. I was on vacation at the time the job was done. Greg has been in the business for a thousand years and really knows what he is doing. He refinished our living room, dining room and living area floors. I had checked out other companies and his bid was considerably lower than the others. Greg is great guy – on time and does terrific work. The dustless sanding was too good to believe. I wasn’t sure about it at first. The last time I had the floors refinished, the house was full of dust for weeks. This time I left art and photos on the walls and there was not a speck of dust on them after the work was done. Greg moved all of my furniture and put it all back where it was supposed to go. He had the run of the house while I was gone. I trusted him. He even brought in my mail! My floors are gorgeous. Better than I expected!

We have used Fayton’s twice, once to remove the downstairs carpet and repair and refinish the hardwood floors. He did a great job. We had him come back after ten years to re-do the downstairs floors and he removed the carpet in our upstairs and worked on those floors. He is fast and reasonably priced. I was working for Disney at the time and at least twenty of us in the office used Greg. He’s great!

We worked with Fayton’s on two occasions. He has been in this business for years and we trust his experience. First he did my in-laws two-bedroom house, built in 1926. He pulled up the carpet after forty years and brought the hardwood floors back to life. In two areas boards had to be replaced and one room had a tile height issue. Greg is resourceful and inventive; he created a gradual transition. For the second job, in our own home, Greg put new wood over some of the plywood floors. He matched the existing red oak and white oak so that it looked like it had been together all these years—another nice transition. We had some issues with one of the finishes he used—it kept bubbling up. He came back three times. The third time he brought a different batch of the finish, until the bubble problem was solved. He was happy to return until it was right. He stood behind his work at no extra charge. His prices are fair and he is always accessible. His dust-free sanding offer caught our eye. We really did not think it would be possible, but thought it might minimize the dust. A big tube runs the dust out of the window and into a trashcan. There was virtually no dust! We checked. Astounding!

Fayton’s refinished my hardwood floors. I had had this done a few times in the past and the dust was a nightmare! This new technology is one of the things that sets him apart. It worked like a charm. Greg was pleasant and straight-forward to work with. I have already recommended Fayton’s Floors to a number of people who have had a wonderful experience with them. In the beginning I interviewed a few other floor companies and Greg’s estimate was considerably lower, even though he includes the dust-free sanding service, which is truly amazing! There was no dust, anywhere! Each time he came to the house, he arrived promptly for the estimate, the refinishing and any follow up. Greg is courteous, flexible, a positive collaborator, and his service is excellent. He returned to the job site on several occasions to be sure it was perfect and fixed some things I probably would not have even noticed. Initially I was skeptical of the low bid but Fayton’s surpassed my expectations!

We found Greg 5 years ago. We live in a long, 3500 square-foot ranch house, built in 1939 and we are pretty high-traffic around here, with dogs, horses and sandy boots. Greg pulled up the carpet in part of the house and sanded and refinished the wood floors in the living room and dining room. Under one of the carpeted rooms we found linoleum. He had to demolish the linoleum, then replace and match the hardwood floor. He and his crew literally had to create the tongue and groove planks. It matches perfectly! I admire his workmanship and artistry. He returns every three years to sand and clear coat. Greg is nice, professional and his estimate was reasonable. He listens to us and works with us. He is truly interested in what we want and how he can help us. When we asked his opinion, he gave us great advice. He is open and forthcoming. On his webpage there are three numbers to reach him and either he or his wife will promptly call back the same day.
