Olde Tyme Floor Co Inc

they arrived on time. They were very professional. When I had questions they took time to explain to me what they were doing. The owner called and personally inquired about how I felt the floor was looking.They were excellent.They knew their trade.

This is a family company. Scott, the son, is running it now. He came, measured and spent time educating me about the process. He later sent a quote. We then decided to go with his company (we got another quote and the prices were the same). We decided to go with Scott's company because of his presentation. Job started on time. Job was held 1 day due to an auto accident but finished on time. Parts of the house not being worked on were sealed with plastic and tape. The house was cleaned very well at the end of the job with no discernible dust. Baseboards were in good shape at the end of the job. Transition spots between rooms were either refinished or redone - all done very well. The floor was given a natural finish (2 coats sealer, 2 coats poly). Floor looks beautiful! Both my wife and I are very happy.

A little bit more than I wanted spend to to sand and stain just one room. but would recommend to someone who have the funds to do the job.

** Most negative reviews are just p***** off angry people. Please know, what you are about to read is not an attack of anger. This is my honest review. I want people/independent businesses to be successful. They are a very important part of our community. I was so excited when Scott finally picked up the phone.... he quickly cut me off, before I could say a thing, stating he would call me back in 15min; I know he will deny this, but he did state 15min because he was stepping into a Dr. appointment. When I asked if I could call him back to leave a voice mail, knowing I was not going to be available later to chat, Scott said there was not point in "being redundant". Yeah, that made me feel awesome. Wanting to talk with him based on his reviews, I waited/kept my phone close by for an hour. He should have just said, "Sure, I would appreciate any info to help me get started on your quote." I waited an hour and he still had not called me back. Finally I realized, if he is this difficult to connect with for just a quote, what would it be like if I hired him. So, I sent him a stern text stating there was no need to call me back. Yes. It was blunt and to the point. It was not personal. Scott should have "let the sleeping dog lie". However he did not. He decided it would be a great idea to text me his oppinion of me, based on two sentences. If I can upload pictures, I will post the screen captures as proof. He should have kept it about not having an opportunity to work with me. He should have just apologized, for I am a very forgiving person. He made it personal = unprofessional. Scott's text: "With all due respect, I believe I mentioned to you that I had a doctors appointment. Going into the appointment, I had no idea how long it was going to be. However, by the harsh tone of your text, it is probably a blessing in disguise, as we do not like to work for people like yourself who jump to conclusions" We all know doctors move patients in and out as quickly as they can. He may have been in with the doctor for 20min. It only takes about 10 seconds to send a text. Sorry, Scott. No matter how you reply to my review, you were in the wrong. My reply: "Scott, point as many fingers at me as you please. It probably makes you feel better. This was not about your doctors appointment. This was actually about your tone with me when I asked, politely, if I could leave you a voice mail. You should have just said yes. That is all you had to do. We clearly are not a match. You sound quite busy. You do not need my business, it's cool. Good luck." Conclusion: Scott and I were not a match. With all the rave reviews on here, I expected much much more from him. Maybe he was having an off week. Maybe his work is an "A", but I will never know because of his inability to just be cool and appreciative of potential business.

Scott made sure my husband and I understood what obstacles he might find after removing the carpet. He and his staff were punctual, professional and even finished the job earlier than anticipated. He arranged for carpeting in adjoining rooms to be pulled up to meet the new floors. The workers made sure their work area was clean and neat at the end of every day. We are very happy with the whole experience and would recommend Scott and his crew without hesitation.

Scott and his team were there on time and completed the work in one day for the agreed cost. The floors look great. Would hire them again for sure.

Excellent - professional - fairly priced - kept all their promises

The owner, Scott Schneider, was very personable and good to work with. I contacted him via email and responded immediately and arranged a visit for an estimate. The estimate was in line for what I wanted to pay and the work was scheduled. On the day of the job, Scott and his crew showed up as promised and Scott instructed them to do a little extra work as far as staining areas of the hardwood that were worn. At the conclusion of the resurface job, the house was immaculate and the floors were beautiful. I will use Scott again to keep my floors in good condition.

They were very professional and did beautiful work.

Scott Schneider's company installed a beautiful hardwood floor in my living room last year and when it came time to do our hallway, I only made one phone call- to Olde Tyme Floor. In keeping with the condition of my house, Scott was presented again with a subfloor that was definetly sub par. My 89 year old house does not have a level floor or a straight line in it and the hallway was as bad as the living room subfloor was before he repaired it. Scott recommended a concrete contractor who came and leveled the hallway for a cost of $700.00. I purchased the wood my self through a supplier at a cost of $453.00. His installers also had to face a very difficult transition from my hallway to the dining room which was also not level. Because I I am not ready to redo the floor in the dining room they hand built a custom reducer between the areas that to the eye looks level but in reality slopes to conform with the dining room. No one would ever be able to tell without very close examination. The guys were very neat, polite and professional. Next time I need flooring done, I will call Scott again.

Scott is very detail-oriented and went over the whole house with me for probably 90 minutes. I removed the carpeting myself to save some money and then he came over to inspect the subfloor and check the place out. He used a laser level to check every room and explained what he was doing (like the difference between a level floor and a flat floor). I really like to know all these little things so it was great for him to explain it all to me. He inspected the cork floors in the bedrooms and said they're good to install over because they're down really well, but advised using glue and nails. The rest of the place had plywood sheathing over diagonal sheathing and he marked soft/squeaky areas that needed to be nailed. The kitchen had vinyl flooring, so I removed the cove flashing (the part that curves up the wall a few inches) and they installed over the vinyl into the plywood beneath. The wood was delivered and sat in the house for a few weeks while our other contractors did their work. Installation took 4-5 days. They cleaned up after each day which was great since I was working on the house each night. There was an HVAC return on the floor which I forgot to tell them was not going to be used anymore, so they installed around it. I called Scott to tell him it should just have floor laid over the hole (which involved ripping up that section of floor and I think laying some plywood, then relaying new floorboards). It cost us about $50, but it thankfully didn't delay the job and they were cool about it. After installation, but before sanding, our electrician damaged two sections of the newly installed floor in the kitchen. OTF fixed these up for $45 (about an hour and a half of labor, I think). After installation the wood sat and acclimated for two weeks before sanding began. This is per the National Wood Floor Association recommendation. If you pay attention to your floor you can really see (feel, really) it move over the two weeks. We really wanted to get into the home by September 1 and in order to make that happen, sanding needed to be finished by the prior Saturday. This was cutting it really close from our original schedule, but they made it happen and were done so that I could get in and apply the finish on Sunday. After sanding and buffing they used a special vacuum to suck up dust, so the floors were really clean when I went to apply finish (I just had to use a tack cloth first). The only small issue was in the hallway that goes to our second bedroom, there appear to be sanding marks. This is a narrow hallway that is probably difficult to navigate a sander through. I noticed this before applying the finish and under normal circumstances would have asked OTF to fix it, but we were under time constraints (moving into the house while 7 months pregnant). I'm sure they would have fixed it for free, but I could not handle a delay, so I never mentioned it. Everything else is fantastic though and we get compliments from everyone who comes over. The floors also feel amazing under foot. There is a solidity that was not there with the carpet. I'll be using OTF for any future flooring work.

In fact I had to cancel my coupon with this company because I was located to faraway from them for the small patch job that I needed. Nevertheless I had a very informative discussion over the phone with the owner and he gave me some very good advice that really help me. Besides, he did reassured me that if I really did not find anybody appropriate to call him back. If I have a bigger job to do in the future I will certainly give him a call.

.Scott knows his business and was great through the whole process. There was not a question that went unanswered or ambiguous. He set me on the right track regarding the baseboards, which was included in the cost. Listen to the pros! I couldn't be happier with the results. His team of workers headed by Ceasar were great and very helpful. My only regret is that I didn't do this years ago.

I met with 4 other companies before I decided to go with Olde Tyme Floor Co. & I couldn't be happier with my decision. I was just never completely comfortable with the price or the representatives from the other companies that I met. I immediately felt comfortable with & confident in Scott Schneider, the owner of Olde Tyme Floor Co. Each of the other companies wanted to sell me engineered wood because presumably their bid would come in lower which would ultimately give them a better chance of getting my business. The first thing that Scott told me was that he can almost always deliver real hardwood for no more money than the other companies were quoting for engineered wood. Scott was right - the all-in cost actually came in lower than the other bids & we got beautiful real hardwood floors. And not just any real hardwood floors; I got to pick out the exact brand, type of wood, finish, color, etc. that I wanted. I also liked working with Scott because, as a family owned business, the company is small enough so that the owner is actually intimately involved with every step of the job, but then you also get the benefit of working with a sophisticated and experienced 2nd generation family business. I also like that Scott's crew members are his actual employees. In other words, Scott does not sub-contract out the installation like some of the other companies. Scott's team is very professional & experienced. Some of Scott's employees have been with the company for 20+ years. Every step of the job went very smoothly - from the initial meeting, to the bid, to choosing the hardwood floor, to the demolition, to the prep work, to the layout design, to the installation, and then finally to the clean up. So, needless to say, I highly recommend Olde Tyme Floor Co.

Being a compulsive researcher, I got several bids for this job. The bid was reasonable and on par with other vendors. What convinced us to go with Scott was that he was personable, knowledgeable and no-nonsense. He uses top quality products and has an efficient, hard working crew. He kept us informed every step of the way, stayed on schedule (maybe even a day under) and his follow-through was impeccable. He is a perfectionist and a man of his word. Anyone can talk a good game but Scott delivers. Exactly the kind of person you want working on your job. Can't speak more highly of his work ethic and the results that were achieved. Our floors are like new again.

Scott and his crew are professional, punctual and fastidious. We are very pleased and would certainly use them again.

He was very polite and on time for the estimate. He said the only way to fix it was to pull other pieces of the board up to replace. I thought all you had to do was remover that one piece and replace it. I needed it done soon. It is not their fault that it did not get fixed. I would still recommend them.

Excellent job overall. Crew was punctual and cordial. Very neat in prep work, covering and isolating the work area with clear plastic tarps. Powersanders with vacuum kept dust from sanding to a minimum. Very impressed by how clean everything was overall given the nature of the job. hardwood floor looked great at the end. They even recoated my wood railings. They put all the furniture back to its original location, along with adding leg protectors to chairs to protect the newly refinished flooring.

I bought an Angie's List coupon for the company and the owner, Scott, came to look at the area. I had knocked through two closets to make my triplex into a duplex. One side of the hallway had wood going in one direction and the other side had darker wood going in the other direction. He told me the best way to fix the floor. The wood was delivered and was left for a few weeks to acclimate. On the first day of installation Scott came with the installer to make sure everything was all set. The installer took out the half of the floor being replaced, cut the new flooring and installed it. He did an AMAZING job piecing the floor and matching it to the existing floor. He taped plastic sheets on both ends of the hallway so when he sanded there wasn't a mess. He stained the wood and it matched the other floor perfectly! He returned 2 days later to apply the polyurethane. Scott also came then to make sure all was good. My hall now looks perfect. The next day Scott even came back to take the plastic sheets down! Great company with great customer service!

The owner was friendly and helpful. The workers did a great job.

He was very personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating but unfortunately it was just too expensive for me to move forward with the project at this time.

He has been very unresponsive and difficult to reach. He has canceled several appointments and fails to return my calls. He promised he would call me to schedule and asked for both phone numbers to reach me at. I never heard from him. He is very unresponsive.

Scott is very personable, friendly and truly interested in what you are doing. I had several estimates and Olde Tyme Floor wasn't the cheapest, but they also were not the most expensive. One reason I went with Scott's company was his ability to be creative. I had an estimate from Lowe's, and the estimator/installer could not fathom how to deal with a difficult transition from my kitchen tile floor to the new wood floor. Scott's team Cesar and 2nd Cesar were very good craftsmen. Cesar cut away some of the tile and installed a slightly inclined wood threshold which makes up for the one inch height difference in the floor. They also did a very nice job on the other difficult transition from my tile hearth to the new wood floor. Cesar and Cesar were very nice and extremely careful in putting plastic up over my shutters, ceiling fan and doorways to mitigate dust. They installed the leveling in one and half days. I think that was the hardest part of the job. Then Cesar and Cesar laid the flooring. I purchased new primed MDF moulding from Home Depot. I pre-painted it myself and the Cesars installed it. I spackled and touched up the nail holes the day after they were done. They worked for 4 days and every evening cleaned up and put their tools neatly into a corner of the room for the night. They both had a great work ethic and were very professional. A lot of pride was observed in the work they were doing. The finished product has made me love my house again.

I had contacted this contractor through the Big Deal on Angie’s List—hoping he could do some kind of temporary fix on some splitting boards. When I met Scott, I found that he had absolutely excellent references—outside of those on Angie’s List. Scott advised me that any fix would be temporary, and that it would be more prudent just to replace the floor now. Because of his references, I chose to replace the floors. His crew was absolutely A+. Since I was using a random grain wood, the layout of the individual boards was very important to avoid color pooling or boards that did not look good together. I watched as one member of his crew laid the boards out. He was meticulous at choosing boards so the floor would look good. The crew worked quickly and cleaned up everything before they left each day. Scott stopped by to check the work daily. The floors are beautiful. So glad I had the work done by this company.

Although the hardwood floors were in very bad condition it only took a few days before they were transformed into the gorgeous satiny floors they are today. AND ALMOST NO DUST!!!!!!!!!! The process was seamless. One of the easiest and most satisfying transactions I've ever had. The Old Tyme Floor team made a very stressful time in my life a lot easier. I can't recommend them enough.
