blue canoe wood floors, inc.

Blue Canoe was absolutely amazing when refinishing our floors. We live in a 1923 house that had carpet all over the first floor. I've called Blue Canoe for a bid and Ben answered me right away, and visit us on the same day. He was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He gave us his bid right on the spot advising what would be the best for the project but without pressing us for an answer right there. His bid was very fair and about what our painter told us it should be. Once we've hired Blue Canoe, everything went so smoothly. We removed the carpet ourselves and the original floor was in good shape but looked like didn't see the daylight in over 70 years! It had spots and even rug marks on the 3 rooms. Ben arrived punctually on the day and we were off for some short vacation after some instructions. During the whole time Ben also used a mask, respected social distancing and was very careful with the coronavirus precaution in our household. Ben kept us aware of the steps during the whole time. When we came back, we couldn't believe on the results!! So good!! Impeccable, perfect, amazing were some of the words. Check the pictures to see the difference. We are now proud to say that we became Blue Canoe loyal customers and they will definitely be the ones to go to on our next house projects!!

Both men arrived on time, and got right down to work.  The trickiest part of the job was matching the existing stain, which had a gray/beige tone, and the stain that they provided was simply perfect.  We requested that the top coats of polyurithane not have the heavy glossy "bar floor" look, and they gave the floors a great satin finish that we like even better than the original.  They were very pleasant to deal with, and we would recommend them to anyone who really cares a lot about the final appearance of their floors.

They showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves, and when we discovered a small area defect, they came back out and fixed it in a timely manner.

Ben gave me an estimate over the phone based on the square footage that I gave him and the final bill was exactly the estimated  amount. They arrived on time both days, did a wonderful job and cleaned up afterwards. We have had numerous compliments on how great the floor looks. We definitely plan to have them refinish the floors in our living room and sunroom in the near future.

excellent work. did a great job on installation and color selection. also very nice job on existing wood floors

I've used them a couple of times, which says something. They've always done a good job and I will continue to use them as needed.

Dave and Ben did a great job from beginning to end. Dave was prompt in getting back to our initial inquiry and was honest in his assessment of what they could realistically do to restore the look of our floor without doing a complete replacement. We hired them to refinish the existing floor and are thrilled with the result. They were on time, kept the dust to a minimum, and left no marks on our existing baseboards and stairway. Our floors now looks wonderful, for far less than we would have paid to replace them! Would recommend Blue Canoe without qualification.

I was very satisfied with this company. They stuck with the estimate they gave me in the beginning. They were also very respectful in my home. They did the job the way I wanted.

Recommended by Natural Built Home in Minneapolis. The floors look stunning! They told us they had a "dust-free" system and I thought "no way." It turned out great, there was no dust! I highly recommend these guys.

This is the third project Blue Canoe has done for us; they're easy to work with, always on time and very efficient (and the floors look BEAUTIFUL).

Dave was the first to respond of the three people I called and was quickest about giving me a quote, too. He responded quickly to my husband's phone call with additional questions before we decided on who to use. He was responsive but low-maintenance, which we liked a lot. Other folks seemed to hound us once we made contact - a big turn off. The price was competitive and the work was good. I was surprised at how well the edges turned out - no damage to the trim yet it looked like the floors had been sanded before the trim was laid - there was simply no line.

THE BLUE CANOE GUYS WERE PROMPT IN RETURNING CALLS, FRIENDLY, AND ABLE TO TACKLE THE PROJECT QUICKLY. THEY WERE INCREDIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF HARDWOOD FLOOR REFINISHING, AND CLEARLY EXPLAINED ALL THE OPTIONS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOMES. HAD WE CONTRACTED THEM FOR THE INITIAL REFINISH PROJECT (AS OPPOSED TO THE RESCUE PROJECT), I'M CERTAIN WE WOULDN'T HAVE RUN INTO THE PROBLEMS WE RAN INTO WITH THE FIRST CONTRACTOR. BLUE CANOE DOES EXCELLENT, POLISHED WORK AND COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

BLUE CANOE GAVE US ONE OF THE BEST OVERALL EXPERIENCES WE HAVE HAD WITH CONTRACTORS. DAVID RETURNED MY INITIAL CALLS PROMPTLY AND ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS BEFORE WORK STARTED. UNLIKE ANOTHER COMPANY I SPOKE WITH, BLUE CANOE WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO USE THE WATER-BASED POLYURETHANE WE REQUESTED. ON THE TWO WORK DAYS, THE CREW SHOWED UP AND COMPLETED WORK EXACTLY AS SCHEDULED, WHICH WAS IMPORTANT FOR US BECAUSE WE HAVE A BABY AND DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THESE TWO ROOMS OUT OF COMMISSION ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THE GUYS WERE VERY NICE TO WORK WITH, DID GREAT WORK ON OUR FLOORS, AND LEFT THE PLACE SPOTLESS.
