By Scott Schneider | November 21, 2020

For any business that looks upon itself as a boutique, the words luxury and signature are almost synonymous. The former may also be considered as a parent to the latter. For signature styles often develop as artisans examine luxury items and endeavor to make them even more unique from the reservoir of their own creative…

I have worked on several projects with Olde Tyme Floor, from simple sanding and staining to new home construction. The customers see samples of work prior to installation and are well-informed of the project's status. While there are surprises in every large project, Olde Tyme Floor is always communicating with the client and managing their expectations.

Olde Tyme Floor Co. did a wonderful job redoing our hardwood floors. We bought an older house that had existing hardwood floors but the additions didn't have wood. Olde Tyme Floor Co. had to level the area that had sub flooring and feather in the new wood to match the existing floor. It looks fantastic, no one can tell where the old floor ended and where the new floor started. Scott was very professional, explaining the entire process to us, if we had any questions he was always available. The quality of workmanship can't be beat. The crew were professional, courteous, and cleaned up each night after they finished. When it came time to choosing the floor color they found out what colors we liked and then laid out several color swatches on the floor for us to select from; their input was extremely helpful. We are so pleased with the way the floors came out, everyone that comes over comments on how beautiful the floors are first thing. There is a real love for what they do and our floors definitely reflect it. Beautiful floors make the house and now ours looks like a million bucks.

Scott came out and gave me an estimate on re-sanding, re-staining and re-sealing my kitchen, breakfast room and two hall floors. He worked around my schedule. Was willing to negotiate a price.... Was professional, courteous, friendly and helpful. The job took 10 days ( a little longer than anticipated) but he included doing my sliding door thresholds.....and was so very accommodating! He even left my oven on rollers, so the repairman who started the oven repair, could move it out and back without harming the new floors. His workers were careful with my belongings and replaced everything back exactly as it was when they originally started. If you need flooring USE SCOTT! He is so good, I am having my bedroom floors done next. Great guy, has terrific employees, reasonable prices and I could not be happier! Most importantly, he stands by his work and will not leave until you are satisfied. Thank you Scott!

It took longer than I liked but it was worth it, top quality!

Although the hardwood floors were in very bad condition it only took a few days before they were transformed into the gorgeous satiny floors they are today. AND ALMOST NO DUST!!!!!!!!!! The process was seamless. One of the easiest and most satisfying transactions I've ever had. The Old Tyme Floor team made a very stressful time in my life a lot easier. I can't recommend them enough.

I had contacted this contractor through the Big Deal on Angie's List hoping he could do some kind of temporary fix on some splitting boards. When I met Scott, I found that he had absolutely excellent references outside of those on Angie's List. Scott advised me that any fix would be temporary, and that it would be more prudent just to replace the floor now. Because of his references, I chose to replace the floors. His crew was absolutely A+. Since I was using a random grain wood, the layout of the individual boards was very important to avoid color pooling or boards that did not look good together. I watched as one member of his crew laid the boards out. He was meticulous at choosing boards so the floor would look good. The crew worked quickly and cleaned up everything before they left each day. Scott stopped by to check the work daily. The floors are beautiful. So glad I had the work done by this company.

Scott is very personable, friendly and truly interested in what you are doing. I had several estimates and Olde Tyme Floor wasn't the cheapest, but they also were not the most expensive. One reason I went with Scott's company was his ability to be creative. I had an estimate from Lowe's, and the estimator/installer could not fathom how to deal with a difficult transition from my kitchen tile floor to the new wood floor. Scott's team Cesar and 2nd Cesar were very good craftsmen. Cesar cut away some of the tile and installed a slightly inclined wood threshold which makes up for the one inch height difference in the floor. They also did a very nice job on the other difficult transition from my tile hearth to the new wood floor. Cesar and Cesar were very nice and extremely careful in putting plastic up over my shutters, ceiling fan and doorways to mitigate dust. They installed the leveling in one and half days. I think that was the hardest part of the job. Then Cesar and Cesar laid the flooring. I purchased new primed MDF moulding from Home Depot. I pre-painted it myself and the Cesars installed it. I spackled and touched up the nail holes the day after they were done. They worked for 4 days and every evening cleaned up and put their tools neatly into a corner of the room for the night. They both had a great work ethic and were very professional. A lot of pride was observed in the work they were doing. The finished product has made me love my house again.

He was very personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating but unfortunately it was just too expensive for me to move forward with the project at this time.

The owner was friendly and helpful. The workers did a great job.
