This is the most important review of Sean Canfield and Finishing Touch Hardwood Floors that you can…read morefind. License ID CT-24148. Sean is certainly capable of 4-star workmanship, but he doesn't deserve any stars based upon my recent experience of him abandoning our $20,000 job. After walking off our job he promised to refund the $6,000 deposit, then he changed his mind and made demands, then threatened me with a lawsuit. His outrageous temper and behavior shocked us and I will have him arrested if he ever shows up here. I've just learned that collection of my deposit is unlikely. In this year of 2026 Sean has refused to pay a First Circuit judgment (1DRC-25-0006744 - Juliana Simone, v. Sean Canfield) and DCCA might be compelled to pay this homeowner from recovery funds (Hawaii's Contractors Recovery Fund compensates homeowners for financial damages caused by licensed contractors who have committed fraud, misrepresentation, or abandonment). In a similar court case 1RC161003207, the homeowner and Sean cannot post online comments, so you can't learn about it here. Sean M. Canfield and his wife, Lisa Canfield, owed the IRS $35,000 in unpaid taxes resulting in a lien on their home. If the IRS cannot collect after many years, what chance does a homeowner like me have against him? He texted me "My wife is the CFO for Goodsill Law Firm" implying that he has the upper hand in financial and legal matters. Before you give any money to Sean, be aware that he might abandon your project and never pay you back. It happened to me and it could happen to you. Be sure to read the 1-star reviews here for the most accurate information. -Sean was the cheapest but I wish I never used him. -Nobody stole his equipment, that's a lie. -I've never posted a review before, but decided the public needed to know about this person to save themselves from the time, expense, and brain damage we've had to endure. I hope Sean never takes advantage of another person in our community. -he was screaming and yelling at us and slamming our front door, we locked the door because we were afraid of him. Police came and were apologizing to me for having to deal with Sean and gave it to him. -I have ample texts and audio of Sean completely going off the rails, and on some occasions making veiled threats. I'm not sure if I can share them on Yelp, but if anyone doubts my review, feel free to reach out and I will share them. Sean also attempted to pay me to remove my Yelp review, which I refused. -I would highly recommend NOT letting Sean refinish your floors. He completely wrecked our downstairs floor, didn't finish the upstairs, and simply took our money and quit. -it was obvious this guy was a talker and a salesman with very little real knowledge about hardwood flooring. Take heed of some of the other reviews and go with a real pro. -Anytime I bring up issue with floor he got worked up and blamed us. If can, use someone else, if no can use Sean. He not real good. -Called multiple times and left messages and no call back. Better to go with someone else that actually wants to work -I just read Sean's response which is not true. I wrote this review to help others, I have no reason to lie. -cost over $6,000. I asked Sean to give me a partial refund for the living room floors and he refused. I filed a case with RICO and they said that I would have to take him to court to get any money back. -have to pay someone else around $3000.00 to have their supposedly guaranteed work fixed. Oh and don't mention to Sean about writing a bad review cause when we did he screamed at us! Horrible work and customer service. You should be ashamed Sean! -Feels like I was conned by this company. They did not repair the damaged floor and covered with darker color coating. Still showed scratches that was supposed be gone with money I paid. Horrible job and bad attitude. -We knew then you were trying to set up more of a scam. You have decided to "mess" with the wrong people Sean. You are a sorry example for anyone that aspires to be a business owner. Your inability to take ownership of a mistake made by you or a mistruth stated by you projects your true colors. Complete and total dishonesty. Despicable. -"this is Sean with Finishing Touch Hardwood Floors. Hey your damn wife left a shit as ah ah review on Yelp, real nasty. You know what, she's a real nasty woman, man. You know what, I'm going to have my lawyer contact you real soon. So, you better either get that off of Yelp or you guys are going to be dealing with my lawyer. I swear to God, I'm going to call my lawyer is you don't take that off of Yelp". -Terrible! Didn't finish the job. Damaged the floor in one area and didn't fix it. Didn't follow up as promised. Not recommended

He took his time to be sure to understand my needs and kept me informed of the progress and what to expect.

Excellent, excellent results! Working with Jon & Lupe was a breeze. Jon setup all of the…read morescheduling based on our availability & accessibility to the apartment. There were a few hurdles, but he worked out all of the kinks & came up with a time that was agreeable for all. Lupe did all of the actual repair & he did a wonderful job. Our problem stemmed from a toilet flooding in the apartment above our unit. Fortunately we were home at the time of the accident so we were able to use buckets to catch all of the water that dripped through the ceiling, medicine cabinet & exhaust fan. Due to insurance delays resulting from the owner of the apartment causing the damage, it literally took two months to finally get approval for testing, mitigation & repair work. Luckily we didn't encounter any mold issues but the ceiling above the shower stall had been so badly damaged that we had to have that replaced. The company that provided the mitigation services completed that aspect of the cleanup & was to also perform the repair but abandoned us after they had removed part of the ceiling, leaving a gaping hole. They ghosted us after I questioned why we paid for work that was never performed during the mitigation. After several attempts at contacting this company, we decided to find another company to complete the ceiling repair. A friend suggested we call Oahu Ace Handyman Services since they had used the outfit & was happy about the results. Their advertising indicated drywall work so we decided to give them a call. From the moment we contacted Jon, he was very responsive & professional. Since his company has started to build an excellent reputation locally, they've gotten very busy, so it took a few days to have Lupe come in, assess the situation & provide an estimate. We felt that their estimate was competitive and in our case, even better than the estimate provided by the mitigation company. Once we committed, it was really impressive how updates and information were routinely provided by either text or email. We've worked with other local companies that would schedule work with us but never hear from them until we initiated a followup call or email to confirm the appointment. On the days of the scheduled appointments, we would even receive texts informing us that Lupe was en route and the possible time of arrival. He was always punctual. Lupe's drywall work was superb! We couldn't even tell the transition. Both the texture and paint matched perfectly. He was so pleasant to work with as he has a bubbly personality. He was informative, friendly, accommodating & had a good sense of humor. He worked fast, efficiently and cleaned up after himself each day. He setup barriers to minimize the dust generated from settling onto our furniture and laid down thick brown paper along the path he walked to protect our new LVF. After the work was completed he vacuumed all the floors affected and thoroughly inspected the area to ensure that there was no paint splatter or inadvertent residual "mud". The actual work was completed in less than the time of the initial quote, so the labor portion of the bill was adjusted and reduced as such. How's that for honesty? On top of that, Oahu Ace Handyman is licensed and bonded so they stand behind their work. Highly, highly recommended! Jon, Lupe...you da best! Mahalo Jon & Lupe!

Nice folks, but not exactly a user friendly fix-it model. I called for an estimate, was told to…read moresend pics, which I did. was given an estimate that sounded high. Was then told I could get one of their crew out to take a look, but it would cost $99 plus tax. which would be applied to the final bill if I got the work done. I thought it might be a good idea, but then they came back with the exact same, very high, estimate. I had some of the same work done a while back and the handy man did each segment in about 20 minutes; but Ace was saying it would take an hour for the same thing (each segment). I'm not sure the estimator was really confident in the time it would take him. Nice fellow though. And, I'm not sure that they are allowed to 'think outside the box' when presented with something unusual. In this case it was sealing some open areas around the trim on the house. It needs a little filler, like a wood slat and some sika (or other outdoor caulk) and, as I said, that same work was done on other trim areas in about 10 to 15 min each piece of trim area. So I did not hire Ace, and I had to eat the estimate charge. I'd say, they likely can do a standard kind of job with square footage or straightforward and 'by the book' kinds of installs/fixes, but I'd not call them back for anything that isn't standard. I'm not calling them back for anything at this point. There was another element to the estimate that I got fixed by another handyman today, that took approx. 20 min and I did not need new parts for. So -- though some folks seem to like Ace, I'd not recommend them for anything that requires adaptability or creative thinking. They may be limited by their partner (Ace Hardware), since it's a franchise, but I could not see paying their price of $150/hour (plus tax and materials) for 7 or 8 hours for a job that would take about 2 or 3 hours tops (if that).
