The work that was supposed to take a few days took two weeks because he was working on project in between. He over-charged me ($484 for shoe molding, sub-floor, then $600 for under layment and materials which I had already paid for). He was going to quit part way through and told my other contractor he was leaving because the bamboo flooring was difficult to work with but called me and said he would remain on the job if I paid an additional $300. He claimed I did not tell him there were three different widths. The very last day he was here, he stole some of the hardwood flooring that he removed from my kitchen (put it in his truck without telling me). I called the sheriff's office and they asked if I would like to file a complaint to retrieve the wood they took. In the meantime, I texted Scott and asked him why he stole my wood. I was afraid to file a complaint because he yelled and screamed at me about the floor being different widths and being hard to install. I felt threatened and thought he might throw away the wood regardless because I told him I called the sheriff. He left off a strip of wood which was replaced by a metal strip so the job was not completed as we agreed to have it done.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for "$449 for 300 Square Feet of Hardwood Sanding and Refinishing or New Installation"

If it had not been for Scott Kimberling's knowledge and experience I would never had known we had hardwood floors underneath old carpeting in my wife's childhood home we wanted to update and sell. Scott was extremely busy, but he and his staff did both a beautiful and timely job at a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: Initially I bought a 98$ drywall deal from Angies list. In addition he relaced and updated oak flooring in four seperste rooms. He sanded and stained the rooms well over 800 square feet. He replaced backsplash tiles in the kitchen, and replaced drawers and tracks for some kitchen cabinets. Finally, he installed over 140sq feet of wood/vinyl on a concrete interior porch. His work was fantastic. The price was amazing for the redults

We had originally planned to have our original hardwood resurfaced. Scott showed us that the builder had used a very thin hardwood which made our original plan of resurfacing not really feasible (from a quality point of view). So, we changed plans and had Scott tear up the old floor, install and stain new hardwood floors. The new floors are beautiful and will be a plus when we eventually sell our home. Scott and his team have very high standards. The team made sure everything was perfect. Our kitchen floor tear-out did turn out to be a challenge as did laying new flooring in an oddly shaped kitchen. Scott landed up spending more timed than he had originally allotted, but he never raised the cost of the contract. He is hardworking and honest! We hope to use Scott for future projects.
Description of Work: New hardwood floors were installed and stained for our kitchen, hallway, and guest bathroom.

In addition to the quality work, Scott was easy to work with. He communicated frequently and was willing to be flexible with his schedule to accommodate other work being done in the house. Highly recommend him!
Description of Work: The house we bought last year was built in 1955. There was hardwood under carpet in all the rooms. Two rooms (family room and master bedroom) had been extended by 12 feet at some point. The additions did not have hardwood. Scott pulled up carpet, repaired / upgraded the subfloor, put down new wood, sanded, stained and finished it. No one can tell where the original wood stops and the new wood begins! Once we saw what quality work Scott did we had him continue in the remainder of the house – living room, dining room, and a second bedroom.

Initially, he was timely and very helpful, but later I started feeling a little pressured by him. He didn't have any paperwork with him when he came for the estimate, seemed scattered, and had to go to a local office supply store to get forms that needed to be filled out. Being so unprepared sealed their fate, and I decided to use another company. He continued to try to call me even after I didn't return several calls.

We had a bad feeling about the job from the start. Scott seemed annoyed when we asked questions and frustrated about having to explain what he was going to do and how. He seemed less than straightforward, especially about what the job would cost. When we started clarifying the work to be done, it turned out that the true price was about $300 more than he had originally said. We considered having him also refinish the hardwood floors in three rooms, but after discussing it with him his quote almost doubled. I have to honestly say that Scott's sub-contractor did a very good job installing the oak flooring. The finishing job is also not bad, with a few missed spots and problems. When it came time to pay, Scott decided we owed more than the invoice stated. After I refused to pay more than the invoice stated, Scott yelled at me in my front yard, apparently thinking he would intimidate me into paying more. We regret hiring this company and should have gone with someone worth what we paid.
Description of Work: We had an Oak kitchen floor installed on top of the old Oak floor (which was basically ruined). The work included an eating room and a small hallway landing. The floor was finished with a clear, water-based finish.

Mr. Kimberling worked very hard, and he did a great job with our floors. His estimate was less then the big name company, and he was much more available, and flexible then they were. Our floors are beautiful. They looked so good we had to paint all the walls.

Quick response to our request for an estimate and to get the work scheduled and begun. After the work started, there were problems, not with the quality of work, but with the difficulties communicating with Scott and the scheduling of the phases of the job. The work day usually began late morning, often an hour or more later than was committed to. We're pleased that the product is very good, but we expect good work and a good working relationship with our contractors.

Scott was very prompt in responding to my phone call. He did an over-the-phone estimate and offered to start the job immediately (he was in the ball park from the other estimate I received from another contractor). Once he arrived on the job, we found several additional items that needed to be corrected/repaired which took my estimate from approximately $500 to $1400. All of the additional work that we found was needed to do a complete job and Scott had the skills to do the other work (repairing sub-flooring and threshold) so that I did not have to call in another contractor. While he was pricey (as he told me he was before the job started), he was extremely courteous, professional and went above and beyond just floor refinishing to get the job done.
Description of Work: Scott refinished a 12 x 14 room and repaired a floor threshold.

Scott and Steve did a fabulous job! We had no idea our oak floors and staircase could look this good. They were able to removed dark stains and masked tack-strip holes. We were offered a wide range of stain colors. They put down stain samples on the floor, using all the colors we were considering, plus a blend of two colors Steve recommended and Steve's was the one we chose. He has a good eye. This team was easy to have in the house. They cleaned up after themselves every day and there was no dust. These guys are meticulous! Our quarter-round molding was never scratched. When we went out of town for a few days, leaving them alone in the house, they encountered a problem (Murphy's Oil Soap interfered with the new finish). They knew we had a painter scheduled the following week and they worked the weekend to fix the problem and add a fifth coat of polyurethane. The cost was an additional $300, which we felt was very reasonable. They went the extra mile and did a perfect job.
Description of Work: Scott Kimberling refinished the first and second floors in our 1931 Bexley home, plus the staircase (including the risers and edges). Using dustless sanding equipment, he took off the finish, stained the wood and applied five coats of water-based Bona polyurethane. He also repaired the wood around the fireplace and the threshold to our French doors.
