Is he related to Bobby Severe? We had our floors done in 2000 when we first
bought our place. The company was called
Old World Floors. Two other companies we got estimates from said that the
floors were too thin and we needed new floors.
Like a lot of you, we have red pine/heart pine/georgia pine on our stairs and
upper floors, not *hardwood* per se.
Bobby was willing to do it but explained that because of the thinness of the
tongue in groove there was a risk that in a few
spots there might be splitting. In the few places it happened, he glued it
down and put some wood putty in the spaces.
Also in a couple of spots he took boards out of the closets to repair visible
areas and replaced the closet floor with pieces
that didn't really match. Nice to work with someone who can come up with
creative solutions.
Not perfectly pretty but definitely better than new floors everywhere because a
few spots were too thin. Also he was one
of the few companies back then who offered water based polyurethane (more
environmentally friendly) instead of oil based.
Anyway a few years ago, I was thinking we could use some help in the high
traffic areas and tried to get in touch but
first the voicemail was full and the the number was disconnected. Basically, I
just dropped the idea because I already
knew the other companies just wanted to sell us new floors.

We got an estimate from a few places and Lady Baltimore was unwilling to
refinish our floors - said they would have to lay down brand new ones (very
expensive). Mike Severe ended up giving us a reasonable price and dealing
with our beat-up old floors - even replaced about 20 boards throughout and
made them match so you can't tell. He is an absolute character, but does
great work. Another friend on our block also used him and had great results
as well. For the full second story and stairway as well as replacing many
boards and other repairs (beyond refinishing) it was somewhere in the
neighborhood of $2500 I think...
If you google mike severe flooring, you'll find him. -Maya

Hello all,
A friend is looking for a recommendation for someone who refinishes hardwood
floors. Unfortunately, the person who refinished my floors didn't really do
a job that I felt was worthy of recommending. Any suggestions from the
Charles Village Chat group?
Thank you,
D'

this cost for a Charles Village rowhouse.
