They were splintering, had screws in them and were very worn. We called multiple places to give us estimates on re-finishing the floors and most tried to "up sell" us and have us purchase new hardwood flooring. However, we wanted to keep the existing floors, as they had so much character and it is much more eco-friendly. When we met Jon Sivertsen of Generations Hardwood Flooring, LLC- we knew he was the right guy for the job the moment we met him. he was extremely knowledgable, answered our numerous questions, and gave us many options from replacing the part of all of the floors, to simply refinishing the floors to their former glory. He gave us his honest opinions and was confident in his ability and knowledge. We chose to re-finish the floors. His price was extremely reasonable given his skill and the amount of work. The week before our project was set to start he came to our home and put several stains on our floors so we could review them over the weekend and chose a stain color that suited our taste. He also walked us through the process, gave us a timetable and answered last minute questions. He spent about 1 hour with us that day. When the job began, he and his crew (his son works with him- hence the name Generations) were so polite and kind. They arrived on time, and stayed late to complete the work each day. They worked so neatly. They put plastic up all over my home to protect, art, tvs, bookshelves, kitchen cabinets, they helped us move some large furniture and dusted and cleaned when they were finished!!! They were so trustworthy- we gave them a key to our home so they could come and go as needed. They told us that we should not stay in the home given the fumes of the stain and were on time with the timeline so we could make plans accordingly. They communicated with us each day via phone or email to update us on the day's progress and give us a status report. I cannot recommend this company enough. They went above and beyond and were so wonderful to work with- oh, and the floors look AMAZING. Honestly, they are perfect and I had no idea they could look so good. Everyone who comes to our home remarks on how great the floors are!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/manakin-sadot/generations-hardwood-flooring-llc-reviews-6471465.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"ACTIVE FENCE CO","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Shawn F."},"reviewBody":"Excellent from start to finish!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/ashville/active-fence-co-reviews-5162713.htm"},"position":10}]}
Concrete Finishing reviews from real Angi homeowners in Sherman, NY
They were really good. They are reasonable priced; our drive is very large. They showed up on time. The clean up was good; they left everything neat. They also redid our front and back concrete porch steps more recently. They were very good about keeping in touch and responding to calls.

Some of the work was good but the finish quality on the kitchen cabinets was a real dissappointment. Additionally, when they removed the moulding to put in the floor, multiple pieces were damaged and not replaced. We called them back for some patch work but they really needed to be replaced...

"The owner Paul Grimmer is a crook. I paid him $24000.00 down to pour a 10000 sf driveway. The contract specified 4500 psi which is a more expensive, stronger mix. His first cement truck shows up and I asked the driver for his paper work. It was for only 4000 psi. Grimmer claimed is was a paper error. He ordered the concrete and he was caught trying to cheat me. He kept all my money and didn't pour a drop of concrete. A week later he buys a bull dozer. I had to hire a lawyer to recover my loss. This kid has no morals or integrity. "

Concrete Finishing questions, answered by experts
The easiest way to handle extra-wet cement is to pour it, let it harden, and then recycle it using one of the methods above. You can also crush it down and sell it for base materials, although this can be pretty time-consuming. Your best bet is to start with less concrete than you need and make more as you go to avoid this problem.
Polished concrete floors also have downsides. Some homeowners, for example, might dislike the coldness of the material (though area rugs can help warm up the space). Concrete floors are also hard, which isn’t always ideal for children and pets. What’s more, these floors are susceptible to cracking, and repairs can be costly. Some homeowners might not like that installation isn’t DIY-friendly.
Unlike staining concrete, painting concrete often results in chips and peeling over time. You can expect numerous touchups over the years if the concrete is in a high-traffic area. Since concrete paints are opaque, you may also find it more difficult to get the exact color results you want. Lastly, painting concrete can make it much more slippery unless you mix in an additive for traction.
Coating enhancements often greatly benefit garages, patios, driveways, and commercial floors, elevating functional durability and curb appeal.
A stamped concrete slab can last for around 50 years or more with proper care, although you’ll likely have to carry out repairs after around 25 years. Concrete is a highly durable material that stands up well to the elements, so stamped concrete is an outstanding option for a long-lasting landscaping feature that’s a bit more ornate than a standard concrete slab. Ensure your slab is the right thickness and is reinforced properly to avoid cracking. Hiring a professional will ensure your stamped concrete lasts for as long as possible.
