Jamie and his team were terrific. We were under a serious time crunch and they adjusted their schedule to work with us. Very reasonably priced, excellent work. I give Jamie all the stars.

He has worked for us twice now on big jobs and we have plans for more.
Description of Work: Jamie has done both refinishing and new installation of hardwood floors in a home we are renovating. He did an excellent job and we have been pleased with how nice they turned out. He also did repair work for a kitchen renovation because we changed the footprint of the kitchen and there were gaps and holes that had to be filled in. You can not tell where the repaired areas are.

Absolutely 100% impressed. Very honest about the condition of our floor and didn't try to sell us what we didn't need. He refinished our upstairs and downstairs hardwood floors and made them look brand new. Stayed within the time frame he gave us during the quote and even followed up later to make sure we knew how to care for the floor to make sure it lasts longer. Very happy with the staff and service we received.

Jamie, Dave and Justin were excellent to work with. They were professional, courteous and meticulous. Jamie Scott came over and gave me an estimate the same day I called him. They showed up on time, Dave did a phenomenal job, cleaned up after himself, worked quietly and efficiently....but best of all..... my floor is gorgeous. I will certainly refer anyone who asks, Absolute Hardwood does an amazing job.

We were doing a complete kitchen tear-out and remodel as well as replacement of the flooring in the adjoining family room. Absolute was recommended by our project manager. We had visited a couple of local hardwood showrooms to choose the kind of wood we wanted to use. The project manager suggested we use his source for the wood because he was more comfortable with the quality and could get better pricing. Jamie (principal/owner of Absolute) came out and consulted with us on the installation. He had good suggestions regarding the transition from the kitchen to the family room and the stairs to the back door. There's a step down from the kitchen floor to the family room floor. Due to my concern about the edge of the ceramic tile used for the kitchen chipping, he suggested using a bull-nosed edge strip of the ash hardwood to finish the kitchen floor that would then lead to an ash riser and then the family room floor. He also found a way to install new risers and treads on the back door steps while keeping them even in height and preserving the existing stringers that were trimmed into surrounding paneling. We were able to schedule the floor work at the appropriate time and Jamie and his crew met the schedule. The installation of the floor boards and trim were neat and precise. We chose to finish the wood on site. They were able to prepare the wood with minimal dust and applied two coats of finish. Unfortunately there were flaws in the second coat - it seemed that they may have used some sealer that had already started to set. When I explained the problem to my project manager, Jamie came back out and re-sanded and re-finished the floor with a 3rd coat without suggesting a need for additional compensation. There are a couple spots where the sanding of the perimeter of the floor left very slight depressions and there are some boards that don't lie perfectly flat (not bad enough that I would describe them as being and quot;cuppedand quot;). These are the reasons why I gave Absolute a and quot;Band quot; score for quality. Other than that, we're very happy with this firm's work.
Description of Work: Installed roughly 130 square feet of natural ash hardwood floor in family room, including 3 risers and stair treads leading to back door.

I called this company to discuss refinishing my hardwood floor in the living room. I left a message and they returned my call later that same day. I explained that my floor had not ben resurfaced in many years and that it had been covered by a carpet many years ago. I also told them that previous owner had pets and it was obvious that there had been a problem about pet issues in the house when I purchased it. I had forgotten the extent of the damage when I purchased the house. Anyway, I discussed the problem with the person who would be doing the work and he felt that the floor could probably be refinished and wanted to come over to take a look. Shortly after that I took photos of the floor and another company explained the stains were too deep and refinishing would be impossible.. Based on the observations of the 2nd company I decided to have the floor cleaned and new carpeting installed. I did call this company and told them that I decided to install new carpeting. He, nevertheless, was confident they could do the job, but by this time the decision had been made to go ahead with new carpeting. The person to whom I spoke was very professional.

Response from Absolute Hardwood Floors
curious why anyone would write a post 6 months later for a job i didn't do, or even look at physically. also i would never say a floor could be refinished if i knew it had pet stains and i hadn't seen to what extent. i don't recall this gentlemans conversation but perhaps he has me confused with someone else. all in all i'm certain carpeting was the correct decision, the only thing i would have suggested in addition is to have coated it with a sealer, such as bin or seal coat after cleaning to prevent the smell of pet urine ever coming through the carpet.

They came by and did what they said they were going to do. Observing them and just seeing the equipment. Anyone that has these floors done and think that a handyman is going to be able to do it, do not even waste your time. The equipment needed to do this and the special tools are key to doing a professional job.

This is the 3rd house that I have had that Jamie has done some hardwood flooring. Estimates are scheduled quickly and are scheduled quickly and are always on target. They are extremely professional, treat each job as if it was being done in their own home, and leave no mess or dust behind. They are always on time and on budget and the workmanship is beyond compare. For hardwood flooring install and/or repair I would recommend Jamie and his crew to anyone who is looking for top quality work at a very reasonable cost

I was very pleased with the whole process: they came when they said they would, the job took as long as they predicted, the interruption to our household was kept to a minimum. The area was sealed off with plastic to keep the dust under control.
Description of Work: I have very old oak stairs that needed refinishing. The stairs were sanded and sealed and varnished(?)..perhaps polyethylene...I don't recall. However, the job was done some time ago and I am VERY pleased with the results. The job was completed in a timely manner, the dust was kept to an absolute minimum and the workers were very professional. I feel I paid a fair price for the work that was done. I would not hesitate to hire them again. I highly recommend them

I would absolutely recommend him to others. There were two firms we invited. Absolute Hardwood was the cheapest. They showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves. They opened up windows for ventilation and we couldn't close them after they left. They came back out and closed them.

Start to finish Jamie and his son were true professionals. Everything went as he said it would. He arrived every day like clock work. He uses a dust free sanding system. We had very little if no dust in the house. He and his son do all the work. His price is very fair. I Plan to use him again.

Most of the work was completed day #1: sanding, repairing and first coat of varnish. They came back the next day to finish up with a second coat of varnish. Small repairs/replacements had to be made in a few spots, and I can find them only because I know where they are. The system he uses is completely dust-free. The process is understandably noisy and smelly, but the end result makes it definitely worthwhile. We did spend 2 nights out of the house but had no problem staying there after that. Jamie and his crew are professional and definitely know what they are doing.
Description of Work: This is the second time I have used Absolute Hardwoods - they do excellent work! This time, Jamie and his crew sanded and refinished old oak floors in living/dining room, hall and 2 bedrooms. Small repairs had to be made in 2 areas that had water damage. I was amazed how good the old floors look now!

I heard of Jamie through a friend of a friend. I called him one morning, he visited my home that afternoon and I had a quote in hand by the time he left. I called back on a couple days later and asked him to begin work right away - he showed up a few days after that morning and was finished the next day. Jaime and his assistant arrived promptly and quickly unloaded their equipment and got to work. They brought a second set of shoes with them to wear indoors, saving the other set for running back and forth to their van so as not to track snow/dirt indoors. They worked quickly and efficiently, making sure not to rush or skip over things. Jaime was very knowledgeable and patient answering my questions. He had a decent amount of equipment (sanders, buffers, etc.) but made sure not to damage my doorways and walls maneuvering around hallways. His sander vacuumed wood dust into a container, so it wasn't necessary to tape off the room they were working in - it gave off an aroma of slightly roasting wood (not burnt!) but went away as soon as he was finished. The equipment wasn't silent, but that was expected and only lasted for a short while. The stain, sealer, and polyurethane smelled like you'd expect, there's no getting around that. Considering the type of work they were doing, it was about as quite and aroma-free as you could hope for - though it's probably best if you're not around after the polyurethane is applied. I had to be around for most of the work though, and Jaime was very accommodating to my schedule. Jamie obviously knows what he's doing and took great pride in the quality of the work he performed. They paid attention to the little details and I felt comfortable letting them do their thing without intruding. It was a great experience, and when I need additional work done I'm going to call Jamie again.
Description of Work: Sanding of hardwood floor, staining, sealing and applied two coats of polyurethane finish. The previous floor had been covered with a carpet which I had removed. The hardwood floor underneath had numerous drill holes, burn marks, paint stains and other damage. The floor could have been worse, but I'm glad we had it refinished because it looks great!
