This company was never on time. Quality work but they cost me a lot of money at my own job not showing up on time or not showing up at all.

Leo and the team did an awesome job installing our new white oak hardwoods and finishing them in warm gray. Scheduling with them again to refinish entire house to match new office floors. Great job all!

Couldnt be any happier with Leo and his crew. Professional, timely and good quality work. Even worked late into the night and on Saturday just to get the job done. Paid attention to details in refinishing our 22 year old oak floors. Floors went from a golden aged color to a beautiful silvered gray. Highly recommend.

Leo's team did an outstanding job on our dated entry-way and connected dining room wood flooring. We were not exactly sure on color b/c we are having the kitchen floor (currently vinyl) done in a few months w/ an engineered flooring. Leo and his team helped pick the color and it came out spectacular, hard to believe it's the same floor. With Covid-19 still a very important issue, his team always wore a mask, as we did too while they were here. I highly recommend Leo and his team. The only bad thing about having my floor looking this good is that now I have to replace the front door b

Leo and team are fantastic. Leo is very knowledge about the properties of wood and the refinishing possibilities. Leo and his team work to deliver results that exceed expectations. They invest significant time in the prep / sanding process and use the best quality materials. On time and on budget + good communication during the project.

We hired Leo to refinish white oak hardwoods in two homes. Timing was really important to us because of closing and moving dates. Leo started and finished both jobs on time, and the results were stunning. He is energetic and passionate about his work. One of the great things about this company is that the owner does every job himself, and oversees the details. You don't get that with larger floor companies. Leo is very easy to communicate with and truly cared about how our projects turned out. Highly recommend!
