Vladimir Hardwood Floor and Cleaning Services traces back to Weles, Inc., doing business as Weles Wood Floor Services — a Watertown, Massachusetts outfit run by Vladimir ("Vlad"), with a crew that includes Sasha. Per its HomeAdvisor listing, the company's work centers on hardwood floor refinishing and installation. On HomeAdvisor, where it holds an "Approved" accreditation badge, the company has been rated since 2021 and currently carries a 5.0-star average across 117 ratings. The actual review text on file tells a more complicated story than that headline number: alongside whatever built that average sits one detailed complaint from a customer who said the crew didn't stick to the terms of the original agreement and leaned on the customer's own time pressure to their advantage, describing a real breakdown in trust. Nothing more recent than 2023 shows up in the public reviews, so there's no fresher account to weigh against that one. Before booking, it's worth asking directly how the company puts scope, price, and timeline in writing up front — that's exactly the ground where one past customer says things went wrong. For hardwood refinishing and installation work around Watertown, there's real volume behind the HomeAdvisor number, but the review record is thin on visible detail and dated, and that one serious complaint is worth weighing. Get the contract terms in writing and ask for a couple of references before signing.

Wood Flooring Refinish. I loved that once finished, the house did not have strong fumes.

Lack of commitment and did not stick to the original contract. He used my time concerns to his advantage. As a customer, I felt completely betrayed.

Vladimir from Weles came out and discussed it with me, sent a proposal with 4 different options. Pasha did the sanding/staining work and matched samples on the floor before finishing. Priced as quoted.
