Met with Robert again (07/01/2014) to go over his estimate. He said his guys will be able to start on 07/11/2014 and should complete by or before 07/20/2014.
The dates are important to me as I am also having the floors waxed.
Gave Robert the deposit ($700) along with the garage opener as I might not see him before the 11th of July (might have to fly back to Chicago)
I will keep you posted.
