Response from SCL Flooring
Awful when someone writes an response and doesn't know why this may happen , like my mother almost dying. Whats so awful about just finding someone else, if someone didn't respond in a timely manor . I never set up a time to meet him , I didn't break an appointment . As you can see , I have a great reputation from almost all my clients but some may fall between the cracks , which is rare but it happens to the best of us . To be so harsh that I don't want the business because I didn't call someone back without knowing facts , wow.

Description of Work: Although I did not use this supplier, I was impressed by his honesty, professionalism, and the timely advice he gave me. As a result of our discussion I was convinced to put the flooring resurfacing project on hold for the next six months. An internet search further confirmed the validity of his advice. At that future time, if the flooring has not properly aged and should require refinishing, I will be more than happy to contact SCL Flooring!

Description of Work: SCL Hardwood Flooring recently installed wood flooring in two bedrooms and a hallway in our home. Steve, the owner, and his team are extremely professional, skilled and reliable. The work was done within the time frame promised by Steve and his recommendations as to materials, color and design were creative and resulted in a beautiful finished product. SCL exhibited pride in their work and we are planning to use their services again in the near future.

Description of Work: I did not use Steve for decks, I used him for interior hardwood floors... but it doesn't matter. Just like it doesn't matter if a trusted shoe sales person is found; they know the intricacies of the foot and understand the environment in which the shoe will be worn, so there is a full trust that whether in the market for an athletic shoe, dress shoe, or work shoe - Steve knows the foot (or in his case all things wood), he factors in the environment, and presents the best solution. Honest in his time lines, honest in his pricing. I would suggest getting at least 2 other quotes, if everyone is in the same range go with Steve, if he is way out of line, it is worth getting an explanation as this would be an unusual situation without a justifiable cause. My second suggestion would be to give him a little flexibility on the time line if that is possible (it was not possible for my job, he had 4 days to redo our hardwood floors as my wife was out of town and I wanted to surprise her - he did it... with enough time for me to get the furniture reset... they still look great 2 years later with three kids and big dog.) but insist he be working on the job as a contract condition (I am guessing he always would be anyway).

After waiting several weeks and watching the floor continue to dry out, I asked Steve if he would mind providing me with a written estimate that was needed for the plumbers insurance company. Steve was willing and mailed it out promptly. We'll repair the floors eventually when we are doing other work and we will gladly call SCL then.
Description of Work: I called SCL for an estimate on repairing two areas of Oak flooring that were damaged by a plumbing leak. Steve took the time to explain the damage and that my best course of action was to wait several more weeks for the wood to dry out and that no repairs might be the best course of action.

I recently joined Angie?s List because I need some work done in my home and my wife told me to check Angie?s List before choosing a contractor. Since I never used Angie?s List before I wanted to test it. I wanted to see how other Angie List members judged contractors I had already used in the past and compare their judgments with what I thought about that particular contractor?s work. One such contractor that came to my mind was Steve Leger of SCL flooring who had rescued me and my floors a couple of years ago from a nightmarish experience with a contractor who had totally ruined my floors. The evil contractor had left swirl marks, hills and valleys in my floor that seemed to me to be irreparable. A friend of mine suggested I call Steve Leger; my friend said that if anyone could fix the mess that the bad contractor left it would be Steve Leger. So I called Steve. Not only did Steve fix the other guys mistakes, but he also made my floors look better than they ever looked before. Steve was a perfectionist and he paid attention to details that the average contractor would never consider. He and his team worked very smoothly together like a fine oiled machine; totally in sync. Everyone knew exactly what to do, there was very little conversation, and when the sanding was done Steve?s men cleaned up everything packed up their tools and then stood to the side watching while the Master Craftsman put on the last coat of finish; he had made magic happen with my floors. No one would have believed these same floors were destroyed a few days ago. They looked like brand new floors and they still look great. Steve was an honest straight talking guy who was very fair with me. I had expected that he would charge me more because the floors were in such bad shape when he started; but he didn?t charge much more than the guy who ruined them. Steve said it isn?t really harder to do it the right way you just need to know how. He was a real nice fellow; knowledgable and very professional. I liked him and I would not hesitate for a second to use him again. So I decided to see what others on Angie?s list had to say about Steve Leger and I came across a person who rated Steve with an F but said they didn?t contract with him for the job; so they never saw his work. The person says they decided to give Steve an F because he pointed out other things in the house that needed fixing and this person took offense to that. Wow that is unbelievable. A professional craftsman who this person didn?t have the sense to hire and who used his own time and experience without being compensated to point out problems that existed in that person's home and the person punishes him for that.. Steve Leger worked wonders and made miracles happen for me and he does not deserve to be rated poorly by some nasty person?s wanton expressions apparently made for no other reason than to satisfy their own vicious impulses to malign and vilify others. That persons post was one of the first encounters I had with Angie?s List and the only purpose it served was to erode my confidence in the list. I since discovered that the person who rated Steve without just cause was an exception and that other posts on Steve and other contractors I had dealt with in the past were more reliable. I thought it only right to stand up for a good contractor, and a real nice fellow, who did right by me. Oh and the evil contractor > I never paid him. He sued me and I counter sued him; I had pictures of his work first and of Steves after and I won.
Description of Work: Refinished and fixed the floors in my home that were ruined by another contractor.

Though I'm confident his company would have done a great job, based on ratings on Angie's List and his assurances verbally, we decided to use a family friend to do the work. I found SCL owner to be a little pushy and cocky about his great rating on Angie's List, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I prefer a more humble attitude.

As a professional with the hundreds or so estimates I do in a year , I unfortunately am not going to rub everyone the right way. I do have a strong personality and confidence because of the strong work ethics I have built up over my long career. I didn't know I would be defending my personality , who knew.

I did not use Steve. I had the work done by another company and am very satisfied. I have submitted a separate report.
Description of Work: He came to give an estimate, and pointed out so many other problems with my house that needed work that I became very upset. I know that I have an old house and that things become worn, but it's not always possible to repair everything right now. I just wanted an estimate on the floor, and Steve criticized my porch, my stair railings, my kitchen, my woodwork, and took an hour of my time talking about it. While he seemed extremely knowledgeable. I did not call him back.

Steve did an overall excellent job in refinishing our oak floors. From start to finish the job was handled in a professional, friendly manner. Steve is a perfectionist in every way. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the entire sanding and staining process. He answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable with our decision to hire him. Steve does the work himself, he does NOT use subcontractors. His staff is friendly and courteous. He arrived on the scheduled date and sealed off all the doors and entry ways with plastic sheets to keep dust to the rest of the house to a minimum. He also sealed all the cabinet doors and drawers to keep them dust free. He spent a lot of time with us trying different stain samples to make sure we picked the right color, he even mixed a custom color right on the spot. Steve was very accommodating to our schedule, he worked on the weekend to get the job done before we left for vacation. He sanded the floors a number of time, applied stain and three coats of polyurathane. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the way our floors turned out. They look beautiful, better than new. We would definitely recommend SCL Flooring to anyone who wants to have a job well done.
Description of Work: The oak floors in our kitchen, dining room and family room were sanded and refinished with a red oak stain.

Steve came at a time convenient to us to give us an estimate. He was obviously very knowledgeable and we felt that he really knew what he was talking about. I t turns out we were more pleased with his recommendations than what we originally had in mind. He showed up on time with his crew. They were skilled, courteous and concerned about the quality of their work. They transformed the downstairs level of my house. It is so much nicer and I feel really good about the way it looks. If you want a true craftsman who really cares about his work....you want to call Steve.
Description of Work: All carpeting on our downstairs level was removed and new hardwood floors were intalled. Crown moldings were put up and all the walls were painted.

Steve came to our home and discussed and recommended the best type of flooring for us. He was very knowledgeable and his estimate was very competitive. We immediately knew he was the one to go with. He showed up to do the work on time. He had numerous suggestions and we are very happy we went along with his ideas. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

Steve took a lot of time in explaining the different types of finishes and the entire process. He even had samples of various stains to assist me in making my decision and explained why applying 3 coats was important. The other quotes I received didn't include that level of explanation nor did their estimate include as many coats (which I later discovered is why the floors will look as good in 5 years as they do now). The job started and finished exactly as presented. Steve and his crew were polite, neat and had a great work ethic.
Description of Work: Steve refinished hardwood floors in three bedrooms which involved sanding down floors and applying three coats of varnish.

Steven Leger, owner, showed up on time for the estimate. I received a detailed proposal for the work to be completed and he explained everything to a T. Steve took a small deposit and told me a date and time frame the job was to start. Everything went perfectly, as told, and the job was done in a timely manner. The workmanship was excellent, the price was fair for the work performed, and would recommend SCL flooring to anybody who wants a company who takes pride in their workmanship. There are not too many companies out there who give you personal attention like SCL flooring.

The owner of the company, Steve Leger, had been recommended very highly to me by a home owner. I called SCL because I wanted to change the color of my floors and stairwell, since it was a 2 year old home I thought the quality of my floors were fine. Firstly he arrived promptly and had many samples for me to choose from. He measured my floors and gave me a price immediately. Not only were the results outstanding, but I didn't suffer from any allergies due to his careful treatment with dust/chemical.

Let me start by saying I'm a perfectionist. Steve was easy to get a hold of, and always called me back promptly. He was able to start right away, which appealed to me. He was prompt and very talkative. I wish I could say that his work was an A, but I just can't. I asked him to match the shine of my existing adjacent floors. I definitely saw a difference in the shine (the floor he refinished was much more of a matte finish). But what bothered me the most was that the floor was not as smooth as my existing floors that were refinished 4 years ago. He seemed surprised that I would get on my hands and knees and feel the floor. There were definitely A LOT of tiny little bumps, some I could pick off with my fingernail. There are none on my existing floors. He was willing to bump up the shine, but we went around in circles with the smoothness factor. However, the dents and scratches were gone, so I was happy about that.
Description of Work: Steve refinished a small 7 x 13 room for me that a contractor had ruined by letting chunks of plaster fall to the floor, severely denting and scraping it. He sanded and applied three coats of oil polyurethane. My house has the original white oak flooring from the 1920's.

He was very prompt in returning my phone call and in showing up to give me an estimate. He showed up on time and finished in the time promised. He scraped the floor surface ("screened"), then applied the finish. The floors look beautiful. He left the place clean and gave me helpful advice on maintaining the floors.
