Hardwood Floor Specialist LLC

Sergey is professional and does high quality work. I have been disappointed in the past with other floor refinishers who used inferior products or cut corners. Sergey is clear in his communications as to what he will do and what the client should expect. He arrived at the appointed time each day, and did a remarkable job keeping the house as dust free as possible, and cleaned up the work area each day (even though we were staying elsewhere). I was so impressed with the quality of the work that I had him price refinishing our first floor oak flooring. I highly recommend his services

Sanded and trowel-filled entire floor, additional spot-filled as needed. Sergey knew exactly how to repair our German Beech hardwoods - and they needed an oil-based finish, not water-based. We used Bona DriFast Sealer and two coats Bona Satin Woodline. Sergey is passionate about his craft and he does excellent work, our floors look and feel amazing!

Turned out great. Sergey and Chris were very serious about doing a professional job.

Sergey is extremely professional and provides exceptional service. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, he was always on time and courteous. Sergey is an excellent communicator and will always keep you informed. For such a high level of service, you should expect to pay a fair price, so Sergey probably isn't the cheapest provider out there. That said, he will undoubtedly provide you with the best possible result and the best possible service throughout the process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sergey and would not hesitate to use his services again in the future.

Excellent work. The floors turned out beautifully. I had several subcontractors come in after the floors were done asking who did the floors and commenting on the beautiful work.

I emailed Sergey on his website one evening to ask for an appointment for a bid. He called me back the next morning, and was to my house by the afternoon to do the estimate. He was very realistic with how much work my floors needed but was confident that he could get my floors looking great. Sergey isn't the cheapest (you never really want that anyway) but he worked with me and my budget to give me a good price. I had 2 other guys come out for bids that were very nice, but not as detailed, so I talked it over with my husband and we decided to go with Sergey. He was there the very next morning at 7am with Chris Lander from Acorn Hardwood Floors to get to work! We had many spots that needed repairs, where walls had been, or 3 layers of floor had been on top of the wood. The 5 new thresholds look great. The transition from hickory to doug fir looks amazing! The bundle of hickory that Sergey got for the repairs didn't hold up to his expectations, so he got a new (more expensive) bundle to work with, and didn't charge me extra. He had to mill it himself to get it the correct size. And the doug fir he used was actually salvaged wood, to better match the age of my floors. You can't even tell the difference in color from my floor to the areas he repaired. It took more in time and materials than expected but didn't complain or charge extra, and my floors look amazing. I am so impressed! I would highly recommend Sergey and Chris to anyone! They know what they are doing and won't disappoint.

We contacted Hardwood Floor Specialist to get an estimate on refinishing our domestic cherry wood floors. We have lived in our home for 17 years and the floors were extremely damaged. He was prompt in arriving at our home to give an estimate and was very thorough in assessing and bidding the job. He seemed to immediately sense my husband's high expectations and tendencies toward perfection and was very patient in hearing our specific requests and expectations. Sergey explained the process, the estimated timeframe and what we could expect with each step. The job took an entire week. Every day he was prompt, efficient and vey respectful of our home. He went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule as we stayed in our home while the work was being done. He very thoroughly explained the options for finishing the floors with either a water or oil based product and even did a sample of both so that we could visually see the difference. Sergey was extremely knowledgable and professional. The finish product was flawless. He recommended the appropriate product to use for maintenance and left a startup kit upon completing the job. We would absolutely recommend his company to friends and family.

The best thing about Sergey is that he returns your calls or texts. He keeps you informed of every step and what the challenges are. He is a great problem solver. He had to do several custom things to make the floors look nice, and he build some custom thresholds for the project. I am very happy with the price.

Sergey was worth the money. His quality and craftsmanship is top-notch. He finished our entire floors the year before and they still are gorgeous. He was able to come in and fix the damages made to our floor by the plumbers and now you cannot even tell that there was any problem. Thank you, Sergey!

Wow, Sergey is a real artist who is committed to doing an excellent job, even in difficult circumstances. We bought this old house in which the previous owners allowed their pets to urinate everywhere. There was carpeting everywhere, but it soaked through. When we took out all the carpeting, there were stains on the beautiful white oak floors in all the rooms! Sergey got most of them out with skillful sanding, but a couple of areas had to be replaced. He patched together new and old woods into the floor with such an eye that you can't even tell. The floors throughout the house are uniform and just beautiful. The attention to detail and the commitment to having beautiful floors is pretty impressive! Highly recommended! He is going to cost more than some others perhaps, but he's worth it.

Sergey responded within hours of our call and met us to provide an estimate. While he charges a $49.00 fee for the quote, he credits it to the cost of the job if given the work. We found his insights and ideas well worth it even if we did not go with him. He offered a number of options (oil and water based) as well as pointed out where eventual flaws were likely if not properly dealt with by him or others. His time in the area and experience was easily recognized and we now know why he came so highly recommended by one of our friends and what we saw on Angie's List. Sergey started on our project almost immediately and was finished in exactly the time he told us he would. We were provided strict instructions to follow relative to the time required to dry and he did an excellent job, the wood flooring looking as good when he finished as the day it was originally installed. Could not have been more pleased with his work and he charged us exactly what was quoted. We would certainly use him again.

Previous owner had made some rather large gouges in the floor that would take some extra time and labor to make the finish smooth. Sergey explained everything in detail and when I asked questions he responded with an answer and solutions, as well as examples of his previous work. I can't wait to have the floors refinished with a blended darker stain, which is tough to do on maples.

Sergei is a floor specialist just as his company name states. His repairs are flawless and attention to detail is above all others I've met when searching for a contractor. My floors came out beautiful and his process is much more thorough then most contractors and I appreciated the fact that he takes great pride in his work. He's been doing this a long time and knows details that no one else explained that made my floor turn out great. I highly recommend Sergei for any hardwood floor advice, install or refinishing.

I initially contacted Sergei through Angies list and left him a message regarding what I needed. He promptly responded back and we talked about a time he could come out and do the work. The room was new construction so we had to schedule after the drywall was finished and the flooring came in. Sergei was reasonable, friendly and responsible. I had to postpone him while waiting for flooring to arrive and he was clear on when he could be available to do the work. I really appreciated that. When the flooring came in he scheduled the work within two days. He put the flooring and molding all in one day. He arrived early (7:30) and stayed late. We had to put some small pieces of sheathing in so he could finish. He was easy to work with and made the whole experience a positive one. We were short some of the flooring and he said he would eat lunch and keep working while I went to Lowes and got more. I couldn't have asked for a better worker. He did a great job, the loft looks beautiful and I couldn't be more pleased. I will recommend him without reservation as he is prompt, clear, honest, cleaned up afterwards and is willing to work hard.

Sergey is very experienced in his work. As such, he is an excellent problem solver and is not put off by challenges. When I was considering bids for the work, the other contractor said that my floors were in such poor shape that they needed to be pulled and replaced. Sergey instead performed spot repairs that blended in perfectly with the rest of the flooring. He also installed oak quarter-round at the base throughout the house to fill the gap between the floor and the wall baseboard. The finished product looks perfect. He is a VERY hard worker!

Sergi was wonderful to work with. We have an older home and the hardwood floors had been covered with carpet for years. Sergi showed up when he said he would (how often does that happen w/contractors?), stayed within the estimate and finished on time. He did a spectacular job removing the carpet, repairing and staining the hardwood. On top of it all, he is a happy man that loves his work, and he does a great job!

Sergey was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. When he arrived to do the estimate, I felt immediately that he was professional and I liked him and he was someone I could work with. He was cheerful and friendly and I could tell he is quite passionate about his work. He took his time during the estimate to really understand the work to be done and to consider the best solution to our needs. He also really educated me on the process which helped to understand his estimate better. For this kind of quality, time, and professionalism in the first meeting, I think his $49 estimation fee (to go toward the total if you ultimately decide to sign a contract with him) was completely reasonable and I have no problem with that. After multiple other estimates, we were so happy to finally make a decision to go with Sergey. He arrived happy every morning bright and early and worked extremely h****** the job. He did the job so quickly and so beautifully while all the while taking the time to walk me through each step of the process to make sure all communication was clear and that I was happy with how we were proceeding. He always allowed me to form my own opinion on options without making any of his own personal thoughts cloud my judgement, which I really appreciated. He also was able to come up with a couple of creative solutions to some unique issues we had with the stairs since they are SO old (from 1908) and they turned out perfectly. I never once doubted that I would love it when it was finished. And I do! Thanks Sergey!! Best of luck to you with your business and your family!

Excellent. Sergey takes a ton of pride in his craft and it shows in his work. He treated our floors as if they were his own and made them look like new.

Sergey was fantastic and it went better than we could have hoped for. He had a job fall through and was able to start our floors just a few days after I contacted him. We haven't moved in yet, so I gave him the lockbox code and he went to work. He kept me informed as the project progressed, texting me pictures and videos as he went and talking to me about any concerns. This was a major refinishing project that took about 4 days, one of which was Memorial Day. Our floors had decades of grime and scars and uneven coloring and warped boards. Sergey took care of it all. They look phenomenal now. He even made the base shoes look great and fixed the old wooden air grates. I highly recommend him!

Everything went great. They quickly and easily repaired a damaged floor. Upon arriving he gave various levels of advice on what should be done and we discussed the price and complications of each option. Once decided he worked quickly to fix the damage. The work looks great!

This is the third time that Sergey has completed work for me and he always provides outstanding work and service! He installed a floating floor in a guest bedroom and closet a few months ago. In the interim, I had to remove some built-in shelves and and old air duct from the closet. Because the air duct had gone all the way to the floor, there was a small patch of exposed foundation after the duct was removed. Sergey managed to remove the previously installed (glued down) planks and replaced them with new ones. He also was creative with the materials that I already had in order to create a baseboard and base shoe for that area as well. The finished area looks flawless! Sergey is a great craftsman; he is conscientious, detail-oriented, very tidy and easy to work with on projects large and small. I have a hectic work schedule myself and rarely have days off. He was very accommodating with my schedule. He drove a long distance from a project in Washington to Portland to squeeze in my project on a day that I could be at home. I'm sure he will have a longer work day because of this. I recommend Sergey without reservation and will hire him again for future projects!

After a wonderful floor experience, I?m more than happy to write a positive review for Sergey, The Hardwood Floor Specialist. We have been working the last 4 months to remodel our kitchen and downstairs. Wrapping up the remodel with newly refinished floors has made everything look amazing! Sergey was extremely thorough and went above and beyond to educate us on how our floor should look when properly finished. I knew that he was the one for our floor job when he was the only quote that noticed on our stairway that the bottom 5 steps were missing part of the trim. He is worth the money! Yes, he cost more than the competing bids, but we knew it was going to be worth it. If you love your floors and want to enjoy them for years to come, he is the company for you. This guy knows what he is doing! We are extremely happy at how he took our dull, lackluster floors and made them sparkle! The extra steps he takes when finishing and his attention to detail are what set him apart. No our floor has a richer, more beautiful appearance than ever before. He?s brought out the best in our floors. I believe that Sergey is a true artisan. He loves what he does and it shows in his craftsmanship and the quality of the end product!

Sergey does exceptional work. He is very detailed and did what I thought was the best possible job. I am a little picky. He is not happy unless you are happy. Either new floor install or repairs to existing he does excellent work and seems to know all the tricks of the trade. He is very timely and responsive to calls, emails etc. He shows up when he says he will show up and keeps you apprised of his schedule. I would highly recommend him to anyone and i have permanently saved his contact info for any future work I may need.

It went very well! Sergey is one of those people who go above and beyond expectations! He phoned and made an appointment within a couple of hours of my initial voice mail, came by to see the project in the early afternoon. Amazingly, due to a cancellation, he could complete the project the next day. He started about 7:00-7:30 am, and stayed with the work until it was finished, about 6:00 pm. Even lunch was postponed until a particular process was completed. Several boards needed replacing on both sections; he replaced more than anticipated at no additional cost. He was able to remediate a 'hump' on the upper landing so that no one would ever know a problem existed. In addition, Sergey created a bullnose finish at the top step; it fits perfectly next to the new newel post. The lower landing has several original boards which are discolored, although over time, the new and old wood will blend nicely. Sergey is personable, efficient and leaves his customers with beautiful floors, smiles on their faces, and fun stories! If another project comes up, I'll contact Sergey....
