Woodsmen Floors is a St Paul/Minneapolis based hardwood restoration company. Although you might occasionally find us working in suburban areas (scandalous!) we're happiest when we're patching & grinding old finish off houses built prior to WWII.
We're a young hard working group that finds our joy in restoring the soul back into the wood floors of classic homes.
Hire these guys! They are simply amazing! We talked to 3 other companies, they all were highly rated and our interviews went well, but Josh discussed our goals and made excellent suggestions ( pros and cons of finish options, details on a small patch) for the project. We felt confident that he would respect the our home and treat it well. The price wasn't the lowest , but we felt it was more than fair for the amount of work involved. At the end of each day, Josh sent an email detailing the status of the project . A couple of times we emailed questions and he answered within less than 10 minutes! The project took about 5 days and we knew everyday exactly where the project was. I can't even describe how happy we are with our floors! They are simply gorgeous! Josh was friendly, personable and easy to work with. It is obvious that he and his crew love what they do - transforming wood floors that have been used and abused for years back to their former glory. We would hire Woodsmen Floors again in a second!
Description of Work: We are preparing our 90 year old home for sale, after we moved out and made some minor repairs and had the interior painted we pulled up the 30+ year old carpet and discovered more wear on the floor than we expected. We reluctantly agreed to have the wood floors refinished. All of them: Living room, dining room, sun room, entry hall, stairway and 2nd floor hall and 3 bed rooms. Yikes!

Josh was very straightforward with upfront pricing and clear communication, e.g., options for dealing with areas that needed to be patched. While he seems like an easy-going, laid-back guy, it's obvious that he's passionate about wood floors and he and Jesse completed my job with very professional results. He kept me informed of progress along the way, and the work area was left clean. It sounds like a cliche, but he finished one day ahead of schedule and just under budget. There is no doubt that I would hire him again for anything to do with wood floors.
Description of Work: Remove carpeting, repair and refinish wood flooring in 3 rooms and a connecting hallway.

Josh was great to work with. I was having a hard time trying to line someone up on our tight schedule and Josh was very responsive and straight forward with his pricing and availability. After not hearing back from others I went with Woodsman Floors. Josh locked us in right away and communicated with us throughout the process. He and his team were very professional and courteous and got the work done faster than we expected. Very happy with the results and I would hire them again.
Description of Work: We wanted to have our floors refinished prior to putting our house on the market. We had original 1960's oak flooring that was in good condition but needed to be sanded and sealed (natural finish).

We are beyond thrilled with the beautiful wood floors Josh, Jesse, and the Woodsmen crew delivered! It was an absolute pleasure working with them. Not only did they swoop in last minute to finish our partially installed wood floors, they were punctual, professional, and just really cool guys. It felt like having friends on the job. Hire them.....like now!

Bid was given the day of request for quote. Price reasonable. Work began exactly the day promised and finished a half day early. Josh was responsive to all communications from me and we prompt in letting us know when they were finished. I would definitely recommend them and use them again. A very pleasant experience working with Woodsmen Floors.
Description of Work: Sanded and refinished one level of 100 year old home in St. Paul. Home had both oak and maple flooring.

Description of Work: We were drawn to Woodsmen floors because they seem to love working on old houses, which we have. Out of all the companies that came to give us a quote, they were the only ones that did not write up the numbers for us. It was basically, this is what we charge per square foot and you can figure it based off of the footage taken from your other quotes. That disappointed me. So, we went with a different company that actually took some time to show us where our money would be going.

Response from Woodsmen Floors
Sorry we missed each other on this one (Removed member name)! I am glad you found a good fit for your project! As the majority of my business comes from strongly referred clients and I'm new to Angie's List I think my normal bid process of having a 5-10 minute chat over the phone, having clients check out my Facebook/website, talk to other HW contractors first and get back to me if they're ready to go over the project and figure out scheduling, might have not been the best fit for you. I do remember that after a detailed 10 minute project walk through I wrote a firm price for the project on the back of my card. From my view it seems I was too detailed in the project planning and execution area and too lose in the clipboard and tear off bid sheet department:-( Again, not everyone is a good fit:-( I'm glad you got your project set up! All the best!

I called a total of 4 wood floor refinishing businesses and Woodsmen Floors were one of them. I called 2 business from Angie's list, and 2 from referrals I had solicited from friends. I left a message for all 4 businesses. Josh promptly called me back and was able to provide me with an estimate for my project within 2 days of my phone call. He gave me an estimate on-site and assisted me to lower the estimate by giving me some options of easy things I could do to ready the floor myself. I appreciated this SO much, as I had a tight budget for the project. Initially, like all the businesses, Josh had a very full June schedule and had about a 3 week lead time for an appointment. Because no one had quick openings, I was willing to he called me as soon as he had a cancellation and was able to fit me in 2.5 weeks earlier than originally planned, which was amazing given my time frame for project completion. Josh and his crew were there within 10 minutes of the 7am scheduled start time and they completed the project within the timeline stated as a part of the estimate. All three wood floor guys involved in my project were very willing to answer my questions, explain the process, and were not just professional, but genuinely nice and accommodating. They made my floor look like maple refinished wood floor art. It's gorgeous. When I am ready for another wood floor project I will be using Woodsmen Floors again and I am so happy to be their first Angie's list reviewer. My experience was positive from start to finish; they are a company I am really happy to recommend.
Description of Work: Josh and his crew refinished the hardwood floors that were under carpet in a living room/dining room area.
