refinishing

I called Scott and described the work to him and asked him to come and take a look and he never came saying that he knows what I am talking about and that they can fix it. On the day of work, no one showed up, I called him and he couldn't remember me at first! then he sent someone after 2 hours. The guy said he couldn't fix the problem! It has been 1 month since and I am still looking for a contractor. Scott ruined our schedule. Very unprofessional and disorganized.

Joy, I appologize for the delay in responding to your review which I feel to be too severe.If we couldn't do the work and after one month you could not find anybody that could,is 0 out of 10 fair.I do estimate
for repairs over the phone to minimise customer costs,as the jobs are small and are subjected to minimum charges.Naturally we collect as much info before coming out to avoid inconviences to our custmers and additional expenses to us.
Again sorry for any inconvience.

Refinishing Floors Through-out House

I hired Craftwood Flooring after the reviews on this site. On the day the work was scheduled to start no one showed up. The next day one guy showed up and he didn't speak English. I had asked Scott to be there so I could point out some details of the job, he did not show up. I don't believe Scott ever visited the job after providing the initial quote, despite my complaints about the quality of work and my repeated requests for a meeting on site. For every complaint there was an excuse. The work was supposed to take a couple of days, it took 5. The stairs were not properly sanded so the surface is rough. For this reason the stain did not adhere evenly and looks terrible. I was told that this is because the material is pine. The gaps and crevices in the old floor were filled after the stain was applied so you can clearly see the wood filler. The area was not properly cleaned before the eurythane was applied so there is dust and debris in the eurythane surface. In one area of the living room there was a big puddle of eurythane. They tried to fix it but made it look worse. Overall the quality of workmanship was poor. When I complained I was told "they're a good crew" and that he would send them back tomorrow. They made some efforts to correct the problems but it still looks like crap. I would not recommend this company.

David,your critisicm for the most part is deserved.Without making excuses because at rhe end of the day results are what matters.We stand behind everything that we do,even after payment or bad review.I did offer to redo your work with a different crew,but would understand any reason why you choose not to accept our offer.

Sand and stained old oak floors

Upstairs floors of an old North Toronto home, sanded and stained approx 430 square feet. The floor look stunning now. Excellent work and trust worthy as we were away for 2 weeks while the job was being completed.
Thank you Scott & Crew.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
When getting one's floor done remember there is going to be saw dust which you as a homeowner will need to clean up and the window screens. Also ask if the contactor uses an oil base or water base finish if one is senstive to smells. An oil base finish can linger for a few days but just open up the windows. Average price per square foot is $2.75 to $3.50 depending on the job and repairs.

Refinished floors in foyer, living room, dining room and bedrooms

This company was efficient, economical and professional from beginning to end. Scott made all the original arrangements and got back to me immediately. After the agreement was made, the crew came on the weekend, completing a big rush job in 3 days. The old floors in this historical house now look beautiful - much preferred over new floors with no history. I recommend this crew to anyone considering restoring old floors. They refinished our steps, foyer, living and dining rooms and bedrooms. Great job! Harriet and Miguel.

Re-finishing hardwood floors

Did all the booking and cost estimates with Scott over the phone.
The crew showed up right on schedule and did a great job.
Only one slight hitch was the fact that it took a little longer than expected and cost a little more than we were originally quoted (due to our hardwood being a non-standard kind that needed a different mechanism to work)..

However, we were very impressed with the finished product and the professional crew.. Highly recommended!

Thanks a million Scott and team :)

Floor refinishing

Scott's team sanded, stained and finished the floors in my livingroom, diningroom and hallway. They also made some repairs on damaged sections and covered up spots where there were redundant vents and returns. Scott was courteous and attentive at all times and he was always happy to explain what was happening despite me calling him constantly. He came in exactly at what his quote was. There were a couple misunderstandings but Scott quickly rectified them. I am utterly pleased with the work of Scott and his team (led by Thanh, all very friendly guys), they exceeded my expectations.

Hardwood floor installation

Scott at Craftwood was recommended to me by friend as someone who delivers outstanding quality work – and the recommendation was spot-on. Our floors look amazing, and are now one of the things my wife and I love most about our home. Unlike most (all?) of the other contractors we dealt with during our renovations, the quality of work Scott provided seemed personally very important to him. In addition to installing beautiful floors for us, I also liked that Scott gave us an honest assessment of what wood needed to be replaced versus re-sanded. Because of that, we ended up saving money by following his advice and just re-sanding our upstairs flooring (which also now look beautiful). Thanks, Scott!

If you haven't moved in yet, go with the sand and stain in-place. It look nicer than pre-finished boards.

Refinish Hardwood Floors

I called Scott and he gave me a quote over the phone. I agreed and he started work the next week on a day I picked. His crew came in and finished everything in 4 hours (I was originally told 6). My only concern is that I haven urine stains on the floor (house was purchased power of sale) and I was not informed of the proper treatment to deal with this prior to job completion. Not their fault but they could have warned me. Overall it looks good but I might have to refinish that area of floor, again.

I apolgise first for the delay in responding and for not making clear the fact that all the stains may not come out.If however you do want to have your floors redone they will have to be stained instead of natural or the stained area removed and resanded which I would be willing to do at cost.Please let me knonw.Thank-you.

Hardwood floor refurbishing

Craftwood Flooring did a remarkable job on our old hardwood floors. After I ripped up the carpeting in the living room and dining room (a hell of a job) which was put down in 1982, juding by the newspapers found underneath, we discovered the flooring there in pretty good condition. But the hardwood in the bedrooms was badly stained by a previously torn-up carpet that had apparently disintegrated. There was also some water damage apparent in the hallway just outside the bathroom. Scott assured me that once sanded and stained the floor would come up like new. The job really exceeded our expectations. I was concerned that it might not look uniform, but everything looks incredible. You would swear the hardwood was just newly laid.

I suspect Scott and his crew aren't the cheapest guys out there, but they're very good at what they do and we're extremely pleased with the end result. Money well spent.

Thanks again for a great job.
