"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Stunning Refinish – Highly Recommend! I couldn't be happier with the way our hardwood floors turned out! We had some old, torn-up floors that honestly looked like they were beyond saving—but the transformation is unbelievable. After the refinishing, they look like brand new floors, absolutely gorgeous, with a smooth, rich finish that completely elevates the look of our home. Not only was the quality of the work exceptional, but the price was also more than fair—especially considering the results. On top of that, they were incredibly professional: they showed up 15 minutes early, ready to work, and clearly take pride in what they do. It’s rare to find that kind of reliability and craftsmanship these days. If you're thinking about getting your hardwood floors redone, do it—and call these folks. I can't recommend them enough!"
"Very happy with the finished product. Floors look amazing. We had one hiccup in the project, but Jon fixed it to everyone s satisfaction. Would highly recommend them to anyone."
"This was a very challenging job in our 1898 home with thinner than normal floor boards. 3 other contractors refused the job but Jerry took it on and had to replace about 10% - 15% of the boards which we provided. We had realistic expectations and, in the end, all were met. There were a couple areas that Jerry wasn?t happy with and came back to redo them to the best of his capability. This was a unique project that we feel he put more into than we expected. And a heck of a nice guy, as an added bonus!"
"Fabulous. Had new red oak installed throughout the main floor. Work was super high quality. Craig was really good at communicating each step of the process and it was all easy to manage. End product is show stopping!"
"Emiljano did a fantastic job repairing the water-damaged hardwood flooring in the living room. He spent seven hours measuring and cutting the wood planks to get a perfect fit. Uploaded is a picture of part of the repaired floor."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, installing underlayment underneath the laminate flooring is necessary. The underlayment has many benefits like preventing water damage to your subfloors, insulating the floor for sound, and providing an even surface for the planks to sit on.
When you skip the underlayment, you can end up with serious issues, including water damage to your subfloors, noisy planks, and an uneven floor.
When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You’ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.
Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.
No, replacing flooring is considered a renovation. You're updating an existing feature without changing the layout or structure of the space. However, it can be a remodel if extensive work is needed to update the subflooring.
A subfloor's lifespan can range from 30 years to the entire life of the house, which is often between 50 and 100 years. The actual longevity depends on the material and its protection from damage. For example, while OSB may last longer than plywood, it is not the best choice for heavy flooring like ceramic tile. The most critical factor is moisture; a subfloor that avoids water damage, mold, and termites can last for decades. However, prolonged exposure to moisture will cause it to warp, rot, or grow mold, significantly shortening its life.
