We recently purchased a new home that needed some help. Union Floor Co. came to the rescue! Gordon (the manager) walked us through the whole process. They were very flexible which was wonderful as we had to remodel a new home while packing up the old home with two active little boys. The bid was reasonable compared to others. They patched multiple places and you cannot even tell there used to be large holes in the floor and missing boards! The floor looks beautiful! They are experts at their craft. Everyone we worked with, Gordon and his team, were kind, efficient and hard working. Thank you, Union

Gordon and his team were absolute heroes! After consulting several companies who would rather rip out or cover up the original floors, I finally found someone who could appreciate the beauty of restoration. Gordon was very knowledgable, quick with communication and took the time to really understand what I wanted to achieve. Charles is a phenomenal carpenter and worked very hard to blend in the patch work. This was definitely a tough and dirty job but the team did such a great job and my farmhouse fir floors look stunning!
