Calabrese Flooring Inc

Following a rewiring project that involved removal of decades old carpeting, our realtor advised us to ask Calabrese Flooring to refinish two hallways and two staircases of battered and somewhat creaky oak and pine floors. The result was excellent. Rich Calabrese transformed these areas from eyesores to beauty spots. In the process, he alerted us to structural issues hidden by the old carpeting, worked with our structural engineer and contractor to design sound and attractive repairs, and concocted stains that matched multiple vintages of flooring. Rich’s combination of technical skill, cooperative work style, and keen eye for color and design makes us happy to recommend Calabrese Flooring.

Floors look great.

They were very professional.   During the estimate they were very knowledgeable about the various choices.   I wanted a floor that matched the rest of the house (an 1898 Victorian with mostly original floors).   They scheduled the work within a couple weeks of sending the deposit (1/2 total cost).   They arrived as planned.  The work required moving furniture and appliances, which they did.  Furthermore they made an effort to keep the kitchen useable during most of the work (it was only unavailable when it was being finished).   The work was very well done, and I'm quite picky.   They clearly have a lot of experience.  I would certainly use them again.

Paul came right out and provided a reasonable estimate to refinish my wood floors. A few weeks later the work was done, with the team pulling up my old carpeting, and refinishing the oak floors. They added oak edging to meet my ceramic tile, and everything was professionally done.  Dust was minimal, and the floors look like new.  It took a total of two days from start to finish.  I would recommend this company!

Excellent. Beautiful job in every room.

After shopping around and receiving outrageous quotes from salespeople who didn't know much about floors or the installation process at other companies, we called Calaberse Flooring.  We expected to make an appointment for the following week, but Paul came and visited the same day that we called.  It was clear that he had a great deal of experience and knew his business well.  He was even able to answer questions about the existing hardwood floors in other parts of the house.  He measured the rooms and provided a quote on the spot.
We visited his showroom to see colors and product lines in more depth, but ended up going with one of the samples that he had brought with him on his initial visit.  We placed an order, and he called a few days later to arrange delivery.  On the day the materials came, he and his team removed the old carpeting, padding, and tack strips, then delivered the boxes of wood.  They were very efficient and were done with the job very quickly.
After the materials acclimated and it was time to install, the same team came back.  They worked quickly, efficiently, and completed the job ahead of schedule.  Paul was accessible and responsive throughout the process and made sure that he followed the team's progress through the job.
The floors look beautiful, and it was a quick and easy process.  We would definitely recommend Calabrese flooring!
