hardwood floor
+ -1 moreThe quote was reasonable, and the work was performed exactly as specified: they started and finished on time, and our beaten up floor was left looking better than we first finished it. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Description of Work: Living room maple floor and oak stairs were badly scratched and the finish was worn off. Goddard refinished the floors beautifully with 3 coats of high-quality oil base poly.

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreAfter 17 years, our floors definitely needed serious attention. I had procrastinated for so long because moving the furniture was overwhelming. After a friend's recommendation, I called Goddard Floor Soecialists. They did an excellent job, and I"m so happy with the floors now. This is a family business that's been operating for decades, and their staff has been with them for many years. They were professional and clean--barely any dust anywhere when they were done. Best of all, for a small additional fee, they moved the heavy furniture to one side of the house and did half the floors. When that was done, they moved it all back and did the same thing with the other half of the house. Highly recommend.

+ -1 moreGoddard Floors renovated our kitchen floor in May 2017. It was in terrible condition after years of abuse, many angles and moldings to complicate things. Job went like clockwork with every defect noticed and fixed. Almost no dust, thanks to careful sealing. Every morning the crew showed up exactly when promised. Now we have a beautiful floor that looks like new. Great job!

hardwood floor
+ -1 morePer above, a finish on 1sst floor (semi-g.) which is reminiscent of the waterfront outside...can somebody say 'natural'? The upstairs is like a recovered old armchair-I almost want to keep from putting superflous objects back-like chairs, beds, furniture. The only thing that would have been niftier in the pre-contract stage was if their website had a larger selection of homes and corresponding finishes to run a mouse over and learn about. The amount of McMansions this company has worked on must be similar to Beverly Hills/Hollywood Hills, and I can imagine a few pushy-posher customers than myself. BOTTOM LINE: they don't treat you with any snobbery, nor talk over your head etc. If I could do the ceiling in planks, I would have them in on it as well. Just remember, oil base looks great, but if you have allergy/asthma, etc, you might want to move elsswhere during the work!
Description of Work: 1,400 sq.ft. Cape 2 floors of previously pickled and totally heavy use beaten heartwood oak narrow plank (see how much I learned from them). Only warning-don't let them catch you with cheesy wax spray or liquid cleaners, it's too much for such craftsmen to bear!! Very sensitive and honest estimator, family owned/operated almost a c., (the business, I mean!), quick and unobtrusive elec. tie ins to board-e.g I can't run a shop vac w.o tripping circuit breakers), decent patience with flying cats and stupid owner moving scratches, long winded re.I don't know how they put up with oil base fumes... The finish we picked was a mix of matte/satin and semi gloss. It was demonstrated for us to visually pick ON SITE, ON THE GROUND rather than from some dumb "chip" or sample. Make no mistake, this is a commercial art, made with applications that are even and smooth as water (the semi) or as solid as a frosty stain (the matte). They know their product and were obscenely fair about pulling a few planks the cats left discolored years ago!

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreThe new floors look great. They helped us to pick out the right floors. They always took extra care to be sure that dust did not get into any part of the house that wasn't being worked on, and took extra care to ensure no dust got in the kids rooms in particular. At the end of each day, they cleaned up to be sure the house was safe. It was a loud process, and they were diligent about warning us about that. They properly estimated cost and duration of the project. At the end of the project, they brought some guys over to move the piano as well, without extra cost. They also gave us some floor cleaner. :-)
Description of Work: Tore up floors in our condo and installed new ones. THey also reinforced the floor joists.

+ -1 moreSee above...extra amazing as I knew them from Adam and found themon Angie's List.
Description of Work: Replaced on an emergency basis a hardwood floor that had been ripped out by someone else who then left the job. This included moving furniture, laying down the wood, finishing it, dealing with an emergency of running out of wood because the first company did not buy enough. Glen came out, reviewed the situation, had his team at our home the enxt day and they worked constantly and did a phenomenal job. On Saturday mornign them came back early to touch up a few places and move back the furniture. Special thanks to Glen who is serious, professional, and very trustworthy-you know he and his guys will take good care of you. Thanks to the team of Chris, Mark, Rob, Kevin and Raf all of whom worked hard and fast to pull off this job!

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreFrom start to finish the job went very well! My contact at the company gave me her cell phone number if I had any questions before, during and after the job. The crew arrived on time, and communicated with me about the status of the process. They covered areas that had carpeting and my kitchen cabinets so I would not have dust there. We did sleep in the house during the sanding process, but stayed with family during the finishing process since that week was particularly humid and the floors did not dry as quickly as anticipated. We came home to gorgeous floors, and feel like we have a new home. The one thing that Goddard does is they require a $200 fee for the estimate which gets credited back to you if you hire them. I did not have a problem with that since I Goddard was so highly recommended by people I trust, that I did not even look for another estimate. I was dreading having to move everything out and they removed that worry!!! Love the experience,
Description of Work: They replaced a 6ft x 4 ft water damaged are of my prefinished hardwood floor; sanded and scraped the entire main floor hardwood floor and flight of stairs of my colonial home; applied 3 coats of old base finish; moved all my furniture into my garage and replaced furniture after floors dried.

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreAmazing work! Our floor looked better than it did when it was first installed 12 years ago. They were neat, professional and courteous. They taped every inch of cabinetry to minimize dust intrusion and made a temporary wall between the kitchen and family room to keep out pets from straying into the work areas. I still walk into the kitchen and marvel at what a terrific job they did. After refinishing the porch floor once or twice ourselves, it needed some TLC. They advised us what finish options might work best and we could not be happier with the result!
Description of Work: Sanded and refinished kitchen floor; buffed hallway floor; sanded and refinished screened-in porch floor.

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreI had a 160sf room that needed sanding and refinishing. Other prices I received ranged between $500- $1200. Most were not concerned about doing such a small job. Glen came to look at the floor, gave me a verbal estimate and followed that up with an electronic statement that day. I had asked for a water based refinishing process to be done in 3 consecutive days, and Glen sanded the floor and put a sealer on day1. On day 2 they buffed the floor and applied first coat of finish. On day 3 they they buffed floor and applied 2nd coat of finish as we agreed. Several of the other bidders wanted to do this all in one day, allowing only a few hours for finish to dry( not what the manufacturer recommends.... mfg. Bona). They cleaned up and they did not damage any of the surrounding molding. Floor looks great.
Description of Work: Wanted my hardwood floor to be sanded and refinished. Requested that they use a water base sealer and finish( Bonasealer, and Bona Traffic HD). I was concerned about dust and they agreed to put up plastic to contain the dust. Being a little paranoid about the dust, I put up plastic myself and they helped to insure it was adequately installed. I also wanted it done on 3 consecutive days ... which they agreed to do. I dealt with Glen the owner and by phone with his admin. assistant Ginny.... both were professional and easy to work with.

The floors turned out beautifully, and when there were a few minor details we were concerned about they immediately returned to make sure we were satisfied with the work. We would certainly hire them again if we needed another wooden floor installed and I recommend them very highly

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreVery well. glen and his crew arrived the first day. i was surprised glen left, and then only the crew of 2 was left (this worked out fine, he just didn't tell me that's how the job would get done). the crew cleaned up very well each night (except one night, i had to dust the stairwell and the floors had not been cleaned of saw dust). glen said it would take 3-4 days, and it took 4.5 (they were here full days monday - thursday, and 1/2 day friday). there was some little baseboard flaking that happened due to their machines, and they painted over those spots very well (i had extra paint - and gave it to them, at their request). they were a polite crew and worked hard.
Description of Work: Glen's crew of 2 men (both from NH) did a very good job on our bamboo floor installation. We had 3 bedrooms and a hallway "bambooed" (our entire 2nd floor, except for the bathroom). We did much research, and compared 3 installers (all from angie's list). glen's bid was the lowest (the highest was $2000.00 more!). The highest bidder said it was necessary to put in a new subfloor (glen had not suggested this), and so i brought this up to glen before deciding on glen. glen pointed out that there already was a subfloor, a pine floor above that, and then the bamboo would go on top of that. adding another subfloor would be unnecessary (and redundant). he also pointed out that if squeaks were an issue, than he would recommend an additional subfloor. this made sense to me, and since it is an old (1900) house, we went without the add'l subfloor, aware that there could be some squeaking. he ripped out and disposed of carpeting, carpet pad, and old vinyl in 2 of the rooms, as well.

Description of Work: We used Goddard Floor Specialists Inc to refinish the flooring in 2 of our bedrooms and our hallway. They first sanded the floors to remove scratches and polyearthing that had built up and then they applied 3 coats of what they said was a high quality polyearthing.

The actual guys who worked on it were ok, but the work did drag out into a third day, where the original quote was for two. On the whole we are happy with them and the work they did.
Description of Work: We had a old linoleum floor and they removed it and put in some bamboo flooring. They actually had to remove several layers of linoleum we didn't even know was there. They had to level the floors for us.

+ -1 moreGoddard was extremely professional, pleasant and helpful when we wanted wood floors installed in two rooms and existing floors refinished in two additional rooms. We had just purchased a new home, and they were able to schedule the job quickly so that the floors could be done before our moving day. They also helped us by working around the painters' schedule. For the new floors, they were able to closely match the wood floors in the rest of the house. For the existing floors that were refinished, they gave me the option of renovating or sanding and refinishing, however when the carpets were removed, the floors were bad enough that they needed to be sanded. They used special equipment and lots of taped off hallways and rooms to keep dust to a minimum. Everyone who was here was friendly, professional, and helpful. They called me back right away, even on the weekend. They gave me great advice on maintaining the beauty of my floors for many years to come!

THESE ARE VERY OLD FLOORS, SOME 200 YEARS OLD, AND GLEN AND CREW WERE EXTREMELY CAREFUL DOING THE WORK, A LOT HAD TO BE DONE BY HAND. HE ALSO DID SOME REPAIR WORK, AGAIN, EXCELLENT JOB ON THAT. HE HAS A FRIENDLY CREW, BUT THEY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR WORK. I COULD HAVE HAD THE FLOORS DONE FOR MUCH LESS, BUT NOT FOR THIS QUALITY. GREAT WORK, EXPENSIVE BUT EXCELLENT QUALITY AND CARE.
