The work they did, the wood and the carpet has needed to be redone. Work was halted while experts inspected the work, presumably to determine who was to bear the cost, the subcontractor or Devine. When Devine themselves came to install the second round of wood flooring they determined the subfloor was too humid.(the first group didn't check) To make a long story short, we have decided to go with carpet instead of paying ourselves to fix the crawl space that has been determined by experts to be dry and meeting state standards. Devine refused to guarantee the floor if they installed it. I chose a carpet from another company as I could find nothing I liked at Devine other than the carpet we had put in the bedrooms. Didn't want that carpet in living room and dining area. I think I deserve a carpet I like after four months of having our furniture in the garage and nothing to show for it. We are now trying to get some of the deposit back since the majority of the quoted price was for the wood flooring. The deposit was a percentage of the total. The manager, Todd, has been consistently busy or not there when we have telephoned or shown up at the store. This story is still not finished. Eventhough the contractors from Devine themselves have been very sympathetic, I would not recommend this company to anyone I considered a friend. Too bad, as we have a big kitchen project to do.

I had talked to the wood flooring guy before they were to come and install the slate. He said he did not do tile installation, his boss would be doing it. We were away and they had the house to themselves to get it done for about a week. When I came back I was surprised by the bad job that was done. The slate was all uneven and the spacing between the tile was all uneven. They sealed it and because it had not been cleaned properly a lot of the grout was washed across the top of the slate giving it a milky appearance. I have black slate in our other home and it was just beautiful. My husband sent them an email about how upset we were. The owner came out and said he would correct it all. He said he knew how. They spent an additional two days here trying to saw the grouting lines straight, removing tiles and replacing them and re-chiseling the tile in areas. He coated it with another sealer and while it was still wet, I paid him.
When it dried it looked just awful. Every chisel mark shows up as light grey chisel mark. Some tiles are grey and some blacker. You can see everywhere that he worked on the tiles and even the grouting came up a different colour even though it came from the same bag. I am assuming different drying times and two different sealers had something to do with that.
Every time I go into those rooms I am saddened by those floors. We have just finished renovating the whole top of our house and this is the one sore reminder of what did not go right. I can only think that at some point we will have to replace the floors. After going through a 4 month renovation, I cannot even think about going through the mess of having slate removed and put in again.

I appreciate that they do not pull off of a job until it is finished. Once the job began, there was a crew of workers here almost every day until 3/20/10 when the job was finished. Brad, the owner is pretty hands on with almost daily contact. His crew of guys were very nice men. The daily crew of Alex, Benny, and Pablo were here promptly by 8 AM and often worked by porch light in winter until 4:30 - 5:00. They are very polite and enjoyable to have around. Since it was winter, there was plenty of mud. My constructive criticism is to use plastic carpet protector. I ended up buying & installing this product myself, as they were only using paper taped to the floor. I have a large dog, so the paper did not hold up too well. Also, I had to insist that the guys take off their shoes before entering the bathroom, as it was getting pretty muddy on the floor. I would also recommend that they be more careful with protecting new flooring once they have installed it. They were somewhat careless about this. The new hardwood floor was scratched, and they spent a lot of time trying to buff it out. There were also a couple of measuring mistakes. In one case there was inaccuracy in where to install the window in the laundry room. We ended up having to order a new, smaller window, rather than re-use a larger house window which we were planning to reuse. The new laundry room light was installed too close to the cabinets, such that the cabinet door would not open all the way. The electrician had to return & rehang the light fixture. The most serious \"re-do\" involved the laundry room floor. After it was installed, the room painted, and new washer/dryer installed, we discovered the floor was buckling at the seam. Everything had to be redone, as the flooring was not supporting the weight of the wash/dryer unit. We ended up paying for extra labor and more marmoleum flooring. I don't really blame Sitka for this. It was just one of those surprises of remodeling an older home. Sitka shored up the flooring with cement pilings in the crawl space,and relaid the subflooring. Overall, I found Brad Bowsher and Sitka to be very responsive to my concerns and willing to go the extra mile. His crew works very hard and do their best to please. They show a real pride of workmanship. It's not just another job. Pablo, is quite a craftsman. He was able to completely match an archway pattern in the older part of my house, and craft it into the entry way to the new room. They also did some retouch painting to make sure everything looked good. They totally matched the roof color/pattern to the rest of my house, and they were able to closely match new vinyl siding to the house's aluminum siding. Their electric and plumbing subcontractors were responsive and punctual. The new sunroom is absolutely gorgeous.. And I love having a real laundry room."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/or/cornelius/sitka-projects-llc-reviews-2038294.htm"},"position":8}]}

"Legacy Remodeling did an awesome job to our bathrooms and family room. It turned out beautifully and was completed on time. After meeting up with Alvaro (owner) several times to discuss the projects, we decided to hire him. The best part about this renovation was that Alvaro did the work himself with very good eye on details, as well he is very knowledgeable on plumbing, tiles, carpentry and electrical. Also, he has a great crew. Often, they worked weekends and stayed late. We were very happy with Alvaro and his crew and, we plan to hire them again soon for our next house project."

FAQs for floor sanding projects in Olga, WA
The cost to refinish hardwood floors is $1,900 on average, ranging from $600 to $4,500, depending on the area size, the floor’s condition, the type of wood, the type of coating, and the refinishing method. Traditional refinishing includes sanding the floors, which can be very dusty and costs about $3 to $8 per square foot. Dustless refinishing uses a vacuum to collect dust during the sanding process, reducing the amount of dust produced, and costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.
You should aim to hire a professional floor cleaner once or twice per year to remove any set-in stains, resolve scratches, and make your floors look shiny and new again. If you have a bustling household with many children, pets, or severe allergies, having your floors cleaned four times per year is worth the investment to maintain the integrity of your flooring. Don’t forget to prioritize cleaning your floors yourself in between professional cleanings, too.
The cost to install hardwood flooring is about $4,800 on average, ranging from about $1,000 to $12,000. Nationally, the average cost to install hardwood floors ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for labor and materials. High-end woods and large spaces may cost $13 to $25 per square foot.
Additional cost factors include:
Square footage of the area
Type of wood
Preparation requirements
Type of finish
Location
Floor style and pattern
Plank thickness
Wood grade, color, and grain
It’s time to refinish your hardwood floors when they show signs of age that diminish their overall appearance and function. A few surefire signals that you should consider refinishing your hardwood floors include:
Gouges, scrapes, deep scratches, and dents over a significant area
Discoloration from stains or sun exposure
Water damage causing rotting, warping, or bowing
Weak, spongy, or soft spots in the floor indicating damaged subflooring
Dull and worn appearance across most of the floor
The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.
For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The cost of cleaning tile and grout is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of $0.50 to $3.50per square foot.
