I had my floors refinished by them previously and it was done very well. However, the recent…read morerefinishing was done so poorly that It left me in tears. Firstly, the individual who did the lower level left multiple swirls on the floor so they had to redo the sanding. I assumed that it resulted in them being late for other projects because they then rushed the polyurethane application and applied it so heavily that it took 2 weeks to dry and still felt tacky when you walked on it. The finish also had hundreds of air bubbles throughout the entire finish with some small areas having no polyurethane at all revealing raw wood. He fixed those areas by further heavily applying polyurethane to the spots which left unattractive raised areas of polyurethane. I still have areas that were sanded with no polyurethane applied. Finally my new floors feel like sandpaper beneath my feet which is absolutely unbearable. It feels like fingernail on a chalk board under my feet. I called Alberto to let him know I was dissatisfied with the project but he offered no solution. The original flooring was done over 20 years ago and was perfectly done. 2 years ago I had a bono finish done by Alberto that was dull and easily scuffed. I had Alberto redo the floors because I wanted to go back to the polyurethane finish. I have never argued his price and paid immediately after agreeing on the contract YET I was not treated well.

I had some wood floor damage due to a water leak on my central ac/heating unit in my living room and I gotta call a pro before it gets worse . The 3 free estimates that I got were extremely expensive and all 3 places wanted to replace the whole living room floor at the cost of 5100, 5200 and 5400, which I said thanks but no thanks . Finally Morenos and sons made it all work out in a honest and price friendly manner. Everything was explained to me in layman's term and the work was completed in 2 days and job was done first class as floor looks shiny and new. I would recommend moreno and sons floor service for the upfront honest quote, quality of work, reasonable cost ,and most important, they won't rip you off with unneeded work. 4.5 stars on my yelp meter.

My wife and I just purchased a 2BR/2 bath co-op in an OLD building in the Bronx, and it needed a…read moregood amount of cosmetic TLC. After being referred to Armando Moreno by our friend/real estate agent (whom we sincerely trust), we contracted him to paint the entire apartment (top to bottom, bathrooms, hallways, closets, ceilings, everything) and sand/refinish the wood floors. He gave us a VERY competitive price (we got quotes from a few other local contractors) and he assured my wife and I would be very pleased at the end. After 6 days, he had the entire place DONE. The apartment looks BRAND NEW. No exaggeration...it literally looks like a new apartment. We didn't expect the floors to look much different than before, but the wood looks brand new now. I wish I took a "before/after" photo to compare. Armando, his sons, and his team were so meticulous with the entire job. Armando told me he loves what he does and it realllly shows in his work. He also told me he treats every job as if he was working on his own home and after seeing what he did to our home, it's evident. Dealing with Armando was very easy and refreshing. After chatting with him for a bit, I had no doubt I was dealing with a man of good morals, who was honest, and a true professional. At the end of the day, he's a family man that wants to take care of his family. So when he says he will do the job right, he WILL. Wish I could give Moreno and sons 100 stars. No, 1,000,000 stars. I almost never feel compelled to write reviews...this is only my 2nd one since signing up for Yelp. But after Armando and his crew completed work on our apartment, I felt it was necessary to let others know about him. If our friend hadn't told us about Armando, we would have been shopping around and could've hired a "hit or miss" contractor. I, without an ounce of hesitation, recommend Armando's services a million percent. I know he does work in the general New York City area, but not exactly sure where else he covers. If you need work on your home and aren't sure who to go to, do yourself a favor; go with Armando.

I was torn between giving Amore a two or three star review, because our floors are done and mostly…read morelook good. I decided to go with a two star review, however, because of the incredible stress this experience caused my husband and I. I literally had to get a prescription for insomnia pills mid-way through this job because I was so stressed that I could not sleep. Jim and his crew came highly recommended by our furniture maker, which is why we decided to hire them. But from the first day on the job, things began going very wrong. Here are some highlights: This was a job that we were told would take 4.5 days. Instead, it took SEVEN WEEKS. Jim did not order the proper amount of wood, so we had to stop the job midway through to wait on more wood to arrive while we meanwhile had a big concrete hole in our kitchen. He also neglected to order base molding ahead of time, which caused further delays. When the base molding finally arrived, it was too thick for our space - it hangs over the door frames and looks awful. We wound up just accepting it because we were so worn down that we just wanted everything to be over. On the first day of the job, a manager on Jim's crew wrongly told us we had bed begs, costing us a day of lost work while we freaked out, plus $300 for a bed-bug sniffing dog. We did not have bed bugs. This was a truly awful experience. Jim was not present to oversee the work, and the Brazilian crew who did the demo and floor install were very sloppy. They damaged and scratched our walls, the repair for which Jim originally wanted to charge us nearly $800 for (we argued this out and he wound up covering it). The crew installed faulty boards, which had to be ripped out and replaced; installed boards that were not fully glued down and squeaked and moved when they were stepped on, which had to be replaced; and, in over a dozen places, actually damaged brand new boards that they had just installed by dragging and dropping our furniture - which again, had to all be replaced. On one morning, one of Jim's main workers showed up, dumped some boards in our living room that were supposed to be installed that day, told us he was going to go park his car, and then disappeared. It turned out he had decided he just didn't want to do the job anymore. The workers threw away a piece of our kitchen cabinet and they broke a pot and threw away the pieces, seemingly to hide the evidence. We insisted on being compensated for the pot and Jim had a piece of wood made to replace the missing cabinet part, but this just showed a general, worrying lack of care and responsibility on the crew's part. In another instance, a worker opened our patio door in the middle of a tropical storm after we told him to keep the door shut. The door flew open, slammed against the wall and broke. When we called Jim to tell him about this, he exploded and started yelling at us, sayin that it wasn't his fault the door broke - "It's the wind's fault" - and that he wouldn't cover the repair. We wound up splitting the $1600 cost to fix the door, meaning we wound up footing an $800 bill because of his worker's sloppiness. Jim did not tell us that we would have to hire someone separated to caulk and paint the base molding, which came as an unpleasant surprise. When our general contractor arrived to do the caulking and painting, he discovered that Jim's guy hadn't even installed the base molding correctly. We had to run out and buy a nail gun so he could fix it. Jim agreed before the job that his crew would help us disassemble two pieces of furniture that were secured to the wall (a bed and cabinet). The crew then whined and complained about it, saying this is not their job (then why did they take the job??). In the end, they wouldn't even put the cabinet back on the wall - we had to get our general contractor do it, who easily reinstalled in. These issues would have been a lot more tolerable had Jim's attitude been better. He repeatedly told us we were too involved and we were expecting too much. Any time we expressed dissatisfaction about something, Jim would literally yell at us and say we're unreasonable. Keep in mind, this is for a $40,000 job - in our home. It got to the point that my husband was having 45-minute yelling calls with Jim on a nearly daily basis, taking away from his and my ability to do our jobs and just live our lives. One morning, he called my husband at 7:30 am to yell about caulking. I heard my husband scream from the other room, "Do you know I have a job that isn't yelling at Jim!?" In 10 years of marriage, I literally had never heard my husband yell like that. It was extremely upsetting. In my husband's last 45-minute call with Jim, he literally asked why we never thanked him for the job. That about sums it up. The good points are that Jim did finish the job - he did not disappear on us. He also did fix many of the damaged and problematic boards. But overall, the experience was just a nightmare.

I am sitting here in utter distress with squeaky and popping floors. The only good thing about it is from afar and surface the looks good , it's natural oak engineered floors. Let me list out everything that was wrong . 1. The main guy Jim Berardi has anger issues and pretty much tormented me through the process. I should mention he apologized after I broke down and called him out but it doesn't stop him from saying " you know nothing about floors" and " what do you want me to do, I sent my guy to nail it down ". He was fine and courteous to talk to before the work started and he had half deposit which I generously gave when covid started as I like to work on trust. He is the meanest and rudest person I have worked with. 2. There was no manager on site , Jim hasn't been on site physically since he got the contract. A site manager Steve was suppose to be onsite but never made it( I don't know why ). Jim said Bruno, his flooring guy was the site manager but since the floor has issues , I have asked him numerous times to let me talk to Bruno and the answer is " he is a laborer and I deal with client " . I don't get it whether he is a laborer or a site Manager ? And who uses verbiage like "laborer" in today's day and age ? Bruno by far has been the most courteous person to talk to and I wish I was only dealing with him but he is loyal to Jim 3. I paid 500 bucks for "deep" Cleaning service. The same guys who packed and unpacked were trying to clean with a cloth. I had to call jim to ensure that they clean the kitchen and bathroom as they were NOT agreeing to it . What does deep cleaning mean ? I asked them a number of times to clean pantry shelves and that still had a fat layer of dust and I gave up . Jim gave me half off and said he is doing it as a courtesy and not because they effed up and don't know how to clean ? 4. I paid 1000 dollars for packing and unpacking and my apartment didn't have a lot of stuff . They didn't cover my furniture , my throws were in a basket kept in the bathroom without cover. I came to visit the first day and they were removing the floor. My couch and fabric furniture was kept without covers. My closet Was not covered and all my clothes had to be washed and office closet he's dry cleaned. I could have hired someone awesome to get it done properly . 5. All of the above would have been forgotten if the floors would have turned out ok but see the issues ( Jim initially said that the wood needs to be acclimated but never did for some reason, he lied about things left right center so am not sure what's the story behind it ) - they left the closet doors out , damaged the mouldings and the ceiling had black lines from moving the closet doors. On top of that his guys kept the closet door brackets in random places because of which 2 brackets were lost ( these are 30 years old closet doors ) and then he blamed me for losing them.He sent someone to fix it who didn't know much , handy man from my building helped and had 2 brackets from a job he did for anther apartment. - When I examined a floor plank the day I visited , that plank had Knicks and dents and he assured me the installers never install damaged planks. Guess what ? I found probably 8-10 in living room and guest room and I refused to look more( his carpenter showed me a few !!)I live in 920 sqft apartment but I wanted it to end so got some money off and said am done with this and wanted to move on. I paid the rest of the installment. - 1 day after I said am done I could hear pop sound from 2-3 places and to my horror I had to text him again. Brand new floors had an issue that my old floors didn't ? Then he picked up my phone and said " you said you wanted nothing do with us , I will help you out of courtesy " .. really ?????? Before he sent his guy , I checked the entire apartment the weekend before and taped all places and there were about 25 of them ( sigh) .. I sent him pics and he said " we won't fix everything " .. his guy came who was nice and drilled maybe a 300 nails in my apartment , many on each plank which was filled with filler but you can see it in pictures . It fixed the issue 50 percent ( felt like at that time ). The pops reappeared and now the issue is all over the apartment , pops and clicks - Last , all I am asking from Jim is the floor invoice ( where he is strike off the price ) so I know the exact wood and quantity which he wouldn't give me. And I asked simple questions about how the subfloor and floor was installed so I can tell other contractors who come to look at it it but keeps making excuses. Since then I have contacted many contractors who either said that it's acclimation , or subfloor issues ( most likely it's sub floors ) and they have asked me to wait till fall.

I asked him about it and he said, exact words, "Oh yeah, that is the one place I messed up, I should have taken the drawer out." It looks like zebra stripes. I asked what he could to to fix. His response, nothing. I can tell you what I'm not doing is sanding the floor down again. After closer inspection, in the middle of the kitchen floor, is a piece of his long gray hair in the poly. Again, he tells us to pull it out, buff and put some poly on it. This is just incredible. And he stormed out, grabbed the envelope with the cash that I was going to pay him with. That is my fault, shouldn't have left it in plain sight. I will file a police report on that. FAIR WARNING, STAY AWAY.
