Fit To Finish Wood Flooring

Hardwood Flooring Sales and Installation, Flooring Sales and Installation, Floor Cleaning and Waxing

About us

I started Fit to Finish Wood Flooring in 1997 after 10+ years experience working in the wood flooring trade. I operate as a Sole Proprietor, which means I am personally on every job, and take sole responsibility for the finished product. I do on certain occasions bring in extra help in the form of a subcontractor to help with installation work. This normally occurs on larger jobs. I have been licensed by the State of Connecticut since I started my business. My license number is 00558703. I am also fully insured through The Hartford Insurance Co. Estimates are always free and if you mention you found me on Angie's List I will take 5% of the quoted price.

Scott called me back the same day that I called him. He came two days later. He said he would be there early afternoon and call when he was on the road. He called in advance and he arrived on time. I had called 4 other floor refinishers. Only one other called back and that price was more than double Scott's. I found Scott to be very professional. He finished sanding and did one coat of finish that day. Because I wanted a water base finish, it dried quickly and he did the remaining two coats the next day, taking just a long enough break in between to ensure it was dry before the next coat. The floor looks fabulous. He is obviously experienced at what he does and the job was excellent. I have two more floors to do in the house and will definitely call him to do them. I could not have asked for a better or more professional job.

I called Scott on Thursday night around 5:00. Scott called me back that evening and we set up a meeting for two days later, on Saturday morning at 9:30. Scott and his son showed up Saturday at 9:30 looked over the one room I had to be sanded / refinished. Scott warned me that the flooring was very thin and some stains may not come out. Scott gave me a good price and I agreed. Scott and his son returned on the next Tuesday (on time) and did the sanding and the first coat of polyurethane . Scott returned on Thursday for the second coat and on Friday for the final coat. He instructed me to stay off it for the next two days so it could dry and to be careful the next week or so until it cured. The floor is in a very old house (circa 1860) and the boards were narrow tongue and grove and showed a lot of wear. Scott did an excellent job cleaning up the old floor. There were a couple of stains that he could not remove, but most of the stains were removed. I chose a oil based polyurethane as Scott advised it would better match the flooring in the room that leads into the room I had done,

Scott was great to work with! We purchased a home in CT but still lived in Alabama. We had a VERY tight time frame in which to get the floors redone before our movers arrived from AL. Scott rearranged his schedule and other jobs to accommodate our schedule. The floors are beautiful and were done as promised on schedule.

The owner called back within an hour of calling. He was able to come the next day to give a quote and started shortly after. He was always on time and completed the work iin teh estimated time as he had suggested. He did a wonderful job refinishng the floors- there were several deep gouges within the wood and water stains. The results you would never know. He was very professional and what you would hope to find in any service. I would go to him again and efinately recommend hs service.
Description of Work: I had 5 different hardwood floors refinished in the home I just purchased.

My initial call was promptly returned by the owner as were all subsequent ones. He and his son did all of the work themselves. They were always on time and the quality of their work was excellent.

I've left several messages to get a quote and received zero response. Guess he isn't looking for additional business. Unfortunately I cannot recommend him due to my experience.

Response from Fit To Finish Wood Flooring
Vicious and untrue. I'm sorry we never connected but "zero response" is not true. 3 messages where left...I'll provide my call record if you would like. Your call first came in 6/27 at about 11am, and after a long days work, was returned to your voicemail at 7pm. I left for my vacation that evening. If you didn't try calling during the period of time when I was away, you may not have realized that I was on vacation. (my answering machine message indicated that) I returned to work on 7/10 and was deluged with calls to make about work already scheduled as well as new work. You therefore did not get a "try back call" 7/10. When your call was received 7/11 in the afternoon it was returned at 5pm with messages on both the home number and the cell number which I was given. No response was ever received until this report showed up 7/12. I hope that you can realize that being a "one man show" is not always easy. I do my best to be as prompt as possible and I think my other reviews testify to that. I am normally working on my floor jobs during the day and return calls later in the afternoon and evening that same day. This is what it takes to have an A+ rating on Angies List and the BBB for more than 15 years. This was unfortunately a case of bad timing and I'm sorry for that, but your statements are untrue and your grades are out of bounds.

Scott came to give us a price to buff and recoat out hardwood floors with gloss polyurethane finish. He was on time and not only priced out our house, but our daughters house as well, at no charge.. She is located a few miles from us. He priced our job before Dec. 2010 and remembered us when we called in April 2011. We scheduled a date, he was on time, quick, professional and we are happy with his work and will use him again,
Description of Work: Scott buffed and recoated our hard wood floors. Started by buffing with a steel wool type buffer, vacuumed and then recoated with a gloss poly finish. The result was perfect. We had been using another firm every 3-4 years and they were no longer in business, so found Fit To Finish on Angie's List . He was as good or better than our old contractor.

The project went very well as described in the previous paragraph.
Description of Work: Scott Kamens sanded and refinished a large family room oak floor that had lots of wear and was 24 years old. The project took 3 days as he used three coats of an emulsion that had no odor. Each coat dried quickly. He is very detail oriented and did an excellent job. Our floor looks like new and we were very pleased with the result. As he works alone, he was not available to move heavy furniture prior to beginning. His cost was very reasonable compared with other estimates. Our communication with him was excellent.Our floor looks like a new floor with no imperfections. He arrived on time and on the schedule. We highly recommend him.

This is the second time I've used Scott to sand and finish my floors. The first time was before Angie's list and I think he charged me $975. He's great to work with; no BS, no promises he may not be able to deliver, such as getting stains out. Great communication - always returns phone calls and confirms appointments. Prompt, does what he needs to do and tells you what to expect next and when he'll return. The first time he came he did 4 rooms and this most recent time, only one room small room and closet that needed to be done. They all look beautiful. First time around he also did a repair and set a transition piece between two rooms that once had a wall between them. His price the first time was below what others had quoted and this second time, I hired him w/o getting other quotes. He's not someone that would take advantage of your good will. Scott's a quiet, honest, hardworking guy and I've been very happy with him and his work. Thanks, Scott!
Description of Work: Scott sanded and finished my hardwood (white oak) floors with 3 coats of polyurathane.

He did everything on time, at budget and his prices were much lower than other estimates we received. They ensured that dust was kept to a minimum buy taping up plastic. They cleaned up every day they were here. I would recommend them to anyone in the area that was thinking of either having new floors installed or having their old ones refinished. VERY professional. Tlop Notch. A+
Description of Work: Supplied, installed, sanded and finished 3 coats of poly in our LR and then on 4/16/10 sanded and refinished our old kitchen, hallways and dining areas. Also added shoe moulding. He and his worker even took the time to scribe the wood floor around our stone fireplace.

Thank you for the kind words and for introducing me to Angie's List. This is really a great way to find a reputable contractor. I plan to fill up this section with more reports just like yours. I hope you are enjoying your new floors! Thanks again, Scott
