Viking Floors Inc

A homeowner writing in December 2011 said they could see their reflection in the floors when Viking Floors was done — and that the company had been the cheapest bid on the job. Refinishing tired hardwood is what this Middleboro outfit gets written about. Eric runs it and works the job alongside his father. A customer writing in January 2011 described them arriving on the day promised, returning the next day at about the same hour for the second coat of polyurethane, and coming back a third day through a snowstorm. Another in November 2011 got a separate estimate for each floor, had the furniture moved out of the room, and watched them lift a puddle-damaged patch by heating it. A March 2012 customer wanting a whitewash finish was called ahead when Eric got busy and asked whether the date could move a week. Not every job closed cleanly. A three-star reviewer in August 2012 wrote about globs of poly left around, stain on the baseboards, and work abandoned before it was finished, with no call to explain. The Angi profile says the owner phoned afterwards to apologise and offer to put it right. All eight of these accounts run from December 2010 to July 2013, and the same eight appear word for word on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, where the average is 4.8 — one review set on two pages, not two sets. The Angi page also carries a "78 years of experience" highlight, a directory field nothing else on the profile stands behind. For sanding, staining and refinishing hardwood, or replacing damaged boards, what these customers describe is a small father-and-son crew that turns up when it says it will and leaves the house clean. Because nothing written is newer than 2013, ask for a few recent local addresses, and put in writing what counts as finished — the last coat, the baseboards, and who comes back for touch-ups.
