Highly recommend! I came across Buono flooring on yelp while searching for someone to install hardwood floors I bought. Lou from Buono got in touch with me very quickly after reaching out for a free estimate (2-3 hours). He was able to give me quote over the phone once I sent over pictures and square footage. Very affordable pricing I must add! I was told the job would be completed in 2 days and they were able to finish in just one day! Workers were professional and quick. I will be recommending this business to anyone who needs floors installed or refinished. read more

I can't say enough about Buono's. I had heard good things about the company from other folks in my building, as well as on Yelp, and from the first moment I requested a quote through Yelp, Lou Buono was responsive, courteous, and an actual pleasure to communicate with. If you've worked with a lot of folks in the trades, this is very much the exception to the rule, and as such I was pleasantly surprised. Lou quickly got back to me with a very reasonable quote, and once we agreed on the details and a date, we were off and running. We had some damage and discoloration on our white oak floors, and we wanted to sand and refinish them. Lou was helpful as we got together the paperwork my building required to get it done. On the agreed upon day, his guys showed up on time, and while they weren't the excellent communicators that he is (their English wasn't great), they were conscientious and obviously knew what they were doing. Lou said the work would take 1-2 days, and they were done in just a day. We had a minor hiccup after the fact, but Lou immediately investigated the issue, and handled it well. I'll definitely be going straight to Buono's next time I need any flooring work done. read more

Lou Jr. and his crew did a great job helping me replace a water damaged floor. They were responsive, helped with all the condo paperwork and when I was under a major time pressure, they were able to schedule in the work so I was able to meet my deadline. One of the things I was nervous about was that the one room that needed a new floor might end up slightly lower or higher than the rest of the apartment. They someone knew what to do so that the floor is completely even. There's a tenant in that apartment and she's happy with it. Definitely a trustworthy company that I'll use again for future projects. read more

Jeanette is phenomenal and a wonderful office manager. She was responsive and always accessible, and was the only reason we chose Buono's compared to its competitors. That said, everything else we experienced fell short; Jon came and did the estimate/walkthrough initially and mentioned he would provide oversight to his team, and we proceeded to engage them to install wooden floors into our co-op building. However, he was nowhere to be found after that initial meet and subcontractors who were constantly delayed and untimely showed up on several occasions which left us with a poorly done job (wires everywhere, a closet space completely missed, and obvious gaps against walls). This was unacceptable, and unfortunately my husband had to go back and forth with them until the workers returned to do proper finishes. This was 2 years ago. ***So providing an update In a matter of two years, there are already several obvious gaps between wooden panels showing up in multiple locations across the apartment. read more

very disappointed with their service and time. the delivery was subpar And required multiple fixes

Buono's was quick to respond to my inquiry, and gave me a reasonable quote. They started almost immediately, and showed up early. They were flexible when I had a problem clearing the space, and worked in incredibly hot weather to get the job done. read more

Buono's Flooring was absolutely fantastic in terms of customer service, price, and finished work. Jeannette was especially helpful in making sure I had the correct quotes and insurance documents for my building, and was extremely patient, responsive, and courteous. I felt very pleased with the quote which was given to me, and the team was very flexible in working around my home repair schedule. Overall I cannot recommend Buono's enough and encourage you to give them your business ! read more

I did not use this service, but business is Very responsive and great communication. Gave a fair price/estimate, unfortunately, my tenant was pressed for time and had to move in ASAP. I will use this business in the future read more

Buono's was quick & efficient, and highly communicative throughout our entire project. We LOVE the way our floors turned out, and would definitely recommend them. Furthermore, Lou's honesty and experience (helping us through some unique challenges in our project), and him genuinely listening to us was a breath of fresh air - it's a rare thing to find someone who actually pays attention to you and responds accordingly. Huge kudos Lou - we truly felt like you not only cared about our project, but about us. Thank you! read more

Excellent service. Office staff very helpful. Owner, John was exceptionally nice. We had an issue & he agreed immediately and had his men do an amazing job. They covered & protected my kitchen & furnishings. With refinishing a wood floor it's always going to have dust. They did their very best to keep it area where floor was. I definitely recommend them read more

This company is wonderful. We had an incredibly tight timeline and they effortlessly worked with us. They removed our laminate flooring and installed engineered hardwood in our apartment. They were incredibly responsive and I mean would answer any question and any email within a couple hours. They helped us find the floors we wanted based on our vision. They completed all the work ahead of time and it was beautiful. Anyone who walks in compliments our floors. They are also very reasonably priced and we got several quotes. I highly recommend this company Lou and John are wonderful to work with and provide high quality work. read more

Buono's Flooring - Our new engineered wood floors - Flooring Near Me - New York, New York

If I could give them 6 stars, I would. Buono's Flooring was just fantastic to work with -- from start to finish. John was patient, kind, and walked me through the whole process (even navigating around my daughter's schedule and work phone calls and all the rest.) They showed up on time, did the work efficiently, communicated all the way through. I honestly cannot say enough good things about them, and I'd recommend them with the utmost enthusiasm to anyone who has floor work to be done. Another thing: I have zero idea what I'm doing when it comes to home stuff, so if you're in that same boat, I'd recommend them. John's truly a great guide through it all, and I always felt like I was being dealt with fairly and honestly. read more

Excellent work. I cannot say enough. From the estimate to the install they were very professional. They dealt with on site issues expertly and professionally. My floors look great. read more

AMAZING company!!! From quote to finalized product, the team was amazing! John who came to give us the quote was informative an reached out to answer questions about the product. Given this was my first remodel project, I was nervous but Lou was there to an questions and guide me through the process. Even when there was a hiccup in starting installation (due to some poor communication regarding necessary materials for the demo), Jeanette helped resolve the issue immediately and was extremely patient. Not only is their customer service superb, their work is even better!!!! I'm so happy with how quickly they were able to install the floors and with such great attention to detail!!!! So happy!! Thank you, Buono flooring. read more

Buono's Flooring - Before and after! - Flooring Near Me - New York, New York

I recently purchased a coop apartment and decided to take a full renovation around the house. Just like many other people I hired Buono's Flooring to refinish the floor(about 900 sf) even though there were companies that offered much cheaper quotes because Buono's had several good reviews. I will not go into the details outside the flooring job although I have to say Buono's Flooring had violated my community parking rules and almost costed me $500 fine and project rejected. It took them 4 days to "complete" their work although they said it'd take 2-3 days. I don't mind delayed work if it's for the quality of work but it was entirely because of their own schedule for they had "another work to do" and had to leave after 4-5 hours of work almost everyday. In addition there was no word about the work progress. On the 4th day around noon I had an email from Buono's that their work will be done around 1PM and they want me to be there to approve the work and make the final payment. When I arrived, the guy said I can't go in because the floor is still wet but still he wanted me to just pay the whole remaining balance. I refused to do so because I wanted to see the place with my eyes and make sure all the job's done correctly. The guy had to leave because he had another work to do and their office told me that they will send someone by 4-5PM when the floor is adequately dry so we can walk through the house to see the work. I waited and waited outside until 5:30PM and no one came and no word from Buono's. When I called they said no one's coming because it's too late and they had nobody available. When I went inside the house, I immediately noticed several areas I specifically requested to fix were not fixed at all. In addition, There were still a bunch of flooring material, a bucket of construction waste and garbage lying around the balcony and in the kitchen. The next day I told Buono's that they need to come finish their work once my other contractor gets their job done. Their president immediately refused to wait and demanded an immediate payment otherwise he will take legal action and contact my co op management and other contractors to give me bad reputation. Long story short, he waited and fixed a few spots(with $5 wood putty) and took out the materials and garbage but I was so sick and tired of dealing with this company at this point that I wouldn't care about the work. Their crew were rude. There was no one overseeing the work for the whole time. They are way overpriced compare to other flooring companies and the final work result was beyond disappointing and terrible. On top of everything their management wouldn't hesitate to threat a client even when it's clearly their fault. How could this company stay in business or even get good reviews? read more

My floors look amazing! Just a few days ago they were old and damaged. Now they look brand new! The surface is smooth to the touch. The dark walnut stain is rich.The satin finish has just the right amount of sheen where the sunlights hits the floor. The process was very easy. My apartment is very small but I wasn't treated like a small job. I was able to speak to the owner, Lou personally. I explained the problems with the floor and sent him pictures. He gave me his assessment and walked me through the proposal. He didn't attempt to up-sell me on anything. I got a quote within a day or so and booked the job for the following week. They showed up exactly when they said they would. We sampled three stains. I chose one and they got down to business. It took exactly as long as they said it would. Everyone who has seen the new floors loves them. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Lou and the team. Refinishing our floors was the our first major project in our first apartment we own, and Lou was so helpful in helping us determine how to achieve the look we want. There is a chian between us and Buono that is over 50 messages long to give you an idea of how much time and attention that took. They also tested several finishes to help us decide on the look before proceeding with the project, and helped us move some large pieces of furniture out of the way. Finally, they managed the COI and building process well. The team was on time, professional, and did great work. And most importantly, the floors look incredible! We went with a light finish, almost a grey, that is more of a natural look without the shine of more traditional finishes, and they look incredible and modern. Pricing was in-line with the more reasonable quotes we got from other places. I cannot recommend them enough! Getting work done in Manhattan is tough, and I felt like Lou's team did a great job at a reasonable price. read more

To this day I still cannot believe how outstanding their service, product, support and work is. They truly understand their customers and their needs and knowing each is different and requires some sort of customization. Lou has been my point person with communication and was very responsive and understanding. Marc was insightful and understood what my goal is and took charge! I may not have any more flooring projects but be sure Buono will be the one I will definitely recommend. Thank you Marc and Lou for a one of a kind experience for a guy new to the floor game. read more

Easy to work with and fantastic work! Lou Buono Jr provided a quote the next day (3 quotes actually, breaking it down exactly how we asked). Scheduling was fast and the team he sent out were both professional and friendly. The project was completed by ONiell (not sure about spelling) and John, who were on time, friendly and even went above and beyond their job to fix a gap left by our previous contractor (between floor trim and heater). Looking forward to bringing their team in again for future work! read more

Floors look great! Louis was super helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. I've never owned before and I especially have never dealt with the intricacies of doing remodeling work in a co-op. Louis was very knowledgeable about the process and got me through it quickly. They were able to get the job done very quickly which helped in getting the apartment ready to move-in. The price initially quoted is what I paid. Very fair and honest. The team working the job was very helpful in making sure we got the look we wanted. Most of all, the floors look great! read more

My medical office required new floors. It was imperative that the job be done on a weekend and completed before Monday morning to avoid any disruption to my business office hours. The materials were delivered on Saturday morning and installed by the end of Saturday night. All of the office furniture was moved out of the way and placed back where it belonged. The vinyl floors I selected were installed flawlessly and included baseboard molding and saddles. The office was very clean when they were done. Thank you so much for a great job and for getting it done so quickly. read more

I recently purchased my first home, a coop, and sought a contractor to refinish my hardwood floors. I chose Buono's and am so glad I did. The experience was superb, from start to finish. Lou Jr was the first to respond to my request for quotes on Yelp. He provided exactly the breakdown I asked for to help me decide between several finishing options and promptly replied to my rapid-fire follow-ups online and by phone. He was nothing but gracious and patient as I worked out my budget and took a little longer to make my decision. On the day of the job, a polite, professional team (Marco and his assistant) arrived early and were all set up to begin the moment my coop rules permitted it. They finished on time (a bit early, actually) and cleaned up well. It was so satisfying to deal with this group of kind, hardworking professionals and I am incredibly pleased with the results. read more

I've worked with Buono's Flooring for two different apartments and they do great work. The first job was replacing an old wood floor that had sustained some damage due to a flood from an apartment above mine plus had some gaps that would've required a good amount of wood filler. The floor came out so beautifully. The second job was a refinishing of a wood floor along with a new stain. The quality of this was great, and while I had to have them come back for one extra coat, I was very happy with the work and the communication on both projects. Marc and Lou know their wood flooring very well, and they don't push you to add on unnecessary products or services and they're great at providing all of the forms a building requires. Any time that I need wood flooring work done, I'll continue to work with them. read more

I had some areas of oak wood floor planks replaced and the floor sanded and sealed. The damage was a result of a flood so there was some buckling, because the water was not cleaned up until 7 hours later! The floors came out gorgeous. The service was prompt and finished ahead of the quoted time. I would highly recommend Buono flooring as no one else had suggested I repair versus tear it all up. read more

I would HIGHLY recommend Buono's flooring to anyone who wants to do any sort of flooring work in their home. Lou and his team were amazing to work with, and even though we dealt with a few hiccups with timing (unrelated to Buono's) they helped me and were extremely accommodating every step of the way. Lou, Jeanette and Scott (who I worked with very frequently) were all fantastic and extremely responsive when I was crazy and had a million questions! Not only is their customer service amazing, but we are THRILLED with the finished product and couldn't recommend them more!! read more

Louis was amazing, they just installed all the floor and baseboards of my new apartment and work was perfect, the installer was Lelis and his friend and both were very fast and professional. Was a pleasure to work with, will be using him again if I ever need a new floor. read more

Marc has been very insightful, responsive in communication and professional from our first meeting. We had a big emergency that needed to be taken care of and Marc and his crew came to solve the issues promptly. They are also very accommodating and flexible in customizing the type of service we need. Will work again with them in the future for any flooring needs and will recommend to family and friends (and other owners in the building). Crew is polite and courteous during the job, cleaned up everything as discussed, smooth sailing! read more

We just had our floors done and couldn't be happier, the floors are beautiful! Working with Jeanette and John was a pleasure from start to finish.

We had our wood floors buffed and water sealed and they look wonderful! Lou and Mark were very easy to work with and super response.

People did a bad job. Quality of the flooring is not good. It was my mistake I didn't make a big deal after day 1. I spent a lot of money and I don't have a good floor. Just hire someone else. read more

I'm stunned by all these great reviews. All I wanted was two areas repaired and a couple of scratches sanded down, but apparently that wasn't possible, I had to have the whole room sanded and re-stained. Fine. The first repair they did wrong and what they did instead looks terrible and is not fixable. The second repair they did poorly. They fixed part of it but not all of it because apparently the kind of wood they'd need to fix it isn't available. What they did to try to fix it looks just as bad, if not worse, than how it was before. The sanding left marks on the grain going in the opposite direction, and the first time they stained it, they used the wrong color. They had to come back a second time to sand and stain again. This whole thing was supposed to take two days, three on the outside. Instead, it's been five days. The only reason why I'm not giving them one star is because at least John has been nice about all this instead of difficult the way some contractors I've dealt with were. read more
