Featured Testimonials

Your patience and explanation of the Bona process was very complete. Subsequent checking of your references and your Bona certification made me believe your firm was the one to go with. It’s amazing the difference in these floors. Your attention to detail, and the whole process from “dustless” sanding to staining, sealing and the final coats of Bona poly really set you apart from what I was told the process would be by your competition.

Joe Meyecic is a very professional man. He came out and did the estimate the morning after I called him at a time that was convenient to me. He quoted me much less than the other companies and did it much sooner than any of the other companies could perform the service. He was professional and walked us through everything at our pace. He came less than two weeks later and completed the job in less than three days which is what he quoted us. We refinished our floors and they look incredible now. I will definitely use him to lay my laminate upstairs!

- Danielle W., Berkley, MI

The entire staff was wonderful to work with. Everyone was completely professional from the estimators to the craftsmen, and I truly appreciated the fact that the whole sanding process was completely dust free. We had a graduation party for our son the weekend after our floors were refinished. The change was so dramatic that people actually thought we had new floors installed. Two of our friends were so impressed that they called Williams the following week, and they are having their floors refinished as well.

From the initial estimate through the end of the project, our experience with Olde Tyme Craftsmen was, in a word, superb. As their name suggests, the work was of the highest craftsman level, and their attention to detail and customer service were old-school and second to none. You can tell your home and project are in good hands from start to finish. It's refreshing to still find a small, locally-owned, independent, specialty contractor who focuses on quality and customer satisfaction at a fair price.
