French-Brown Floors in Dallas French-Brown.com
They have been in the business a long time. They did a floor at my parents house in 1980 (I think) and it still looks great.

A guy named Lupe did mine. He was doing my neighbors, I went to look at his work. He did great. Mine look great.
Get the right baseboards too.
It’s been a few years. Don’t know if his number is still good. 214 646 5879.

I would suggest not putting hardwood in your kitchen or bathroom, go with tile there.

I hire my Mexicans buddies for 90% of all my house work costing me half.
Heck, you call a gringo contractor for major work, and they will send you a nice clean cut gringo supervisor the first day, followed by mexicans the next 5 who really do the work.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Friend of mine just did tile that looks like hardwood in his kitchen. It turned out great.

#cutthemiddleman #buildthatwall Who you going to call when you have a warranty issue? Who is going to pay for your house when your Mexican Buddies catch your house on fire while working and he has no General Liability insurance? Not Hose A or Hose B, they will say “no habla English“ and you will pay out your azz. Just a few questions you might want to think about before you try to just save a buck or two. SMDH!

I dont believe in warranties and I never had to use one, nor do I buy extended ones, ever. I ll take my chances, so far so good. My point was that pretty much majority of hand labor in Texas is done by Mexicans, like it or not, but thats reality and they do good work, hardly ever complain. Majority of the Mexicans doing work at my house have been friends for a long time. We do business on a hand shake. If they ever screw me over, they know they gonna have to deal with my better friend El Papy Chuly. Trust me, you don't want to deal with El Papy Chuly, he is a man of few words.

Agreed Beaver, some of my better men are Hispanic. Here legally and do a hell of a job. My point was that the “Gringo” is the one that has the insurance, accounts for material, stability in the area for warranty issues, etc. if they should ever arise. Seems you have a good connection and have had great success and that’s good.
