History

Established in 1982.

Olde Tyme Craftsmen started out as a sole proprietor painting contracting business and operated as such for eight years. In 1990, wood flooring was added and both services were offered for about five years. In the mid-​1990s, due to high demand and serious investment made in equipment and training, custom wood flooring became the sole focus of the business. In 2009, the invitation to become a Bona Certified Craftsman was accepted and full training was underway. Today, all senior Flooring Technicians have been to the Bona school and oversee both in-​house and on-​site training of new technicians. Education and training is ongoing, and new technicians attend the Bona school after three years of experience. It’s no longer a one man show!
