Martin is a miracle worker, I tell you! He was recommended to me by a friend after another company kept pushing back my appointment. I've had some truly awful tenants in the past--looked like they'd been ice skating on my hardwood floors, leaving deep, sharp gouges. I know I should've fixed it right away, but I waited a few years, which only made the damage worse. The hardwood floors are original and they'd already been sanded several times, so I thought they were beyond saving. Martin assured me there was still life left in them--and he was right. I had tenants in the home at the time, which made things tricky, but he worked in two phases to accommodate everyone. As a rental property owner, I've dealt with my fair share of contractors--some flake, some overcharge, some make empty promises--but Martin is a man of his word. The results are beyond my expectations, and I couldn't be happier. He's the owner and also part of the install which is always a good sign for me. Highly recommend! read more

Martin's company Celtic Floorcraft did a fantastic job on the upstairs rooms and hallway in my house. I switched from carpet to hardwood and they totally transformed the area. The quality of work on the installation and wood finish is outstanding. Responses to any questions were immediate and Martin always gave good advice on choices and on maintenance. The price charged was completely fair. I have already asked them to refinish the downstairs. I am a very satisfied customer and I highly recommend Martin and Celtic Floorcraft. read more

Great experience with Martin and his team at Celtic Floorcraft. Martin was incredibly responsive from the first time I reached out all the way through the project. It was amazing. They did a beautiful job with refinishing our floors, stairs and putting in a new floor in our kitchen. They were also efficient. In addition, they were completely reasonably priced. I would hire them again in a minute! We highly recommend them. read more

Martin was great to work with, and communication was great throughout the entire process. Martin and the team removed our carpet and the asbestos tile under it. New floors were installed, and everything looks fantastic! I'd highly recommend Celtic Floorcraft. read more

Martin was recommended by a friend who owns Foxpro Painters. Foxpro was getting ready to do our walls, trim, and ceilings. Martin and team were able to stick to the schedule that we agreed to and had the floors finished before Foxpro came in to do their work. What I liked most about working with this company is that they do what they say they are going to and for a fair price. Also, Martin saved us time and money by refinishing a floor that we thought needed replacing. He convinced me that it wasn't necessary; even though he stood to gain more business. This is the kind of team you want in your house. Really great experience and our floors look great! read more

We got Martin's name from a the Newton Parents Facebook page - he came highly recommended from several members of the group. Martin is great to work with and communicative. We plan to have Martin and his crew back to do our first floor. We will be recommending him and his team to friends in the future. Celtic Floorcraft removed wall-to-wall carpeting and refinished the with old damaged floors, making them look new and smooth. They also installed new flooring and sanded down some high spots in our hall, as the old floor was missing large chunks in that area. They were on time, kept the dust under control, put three coats of finish on, and were fair on the price. Our house looks 1000 times better. read more

Celtic Floor Craft came highly recommended and Martin and his team didn't disappoint. We needed our floors refinished while we were away on vacation. Despite being only a few weeks away, Martin fit us in and completed the job the day before we got home. Our floors had a lot of wear and tear and Martin's team did a great job bringing them back to life. Would not hesitate to use Martin again. read more

Celtic Floorcraft - a hardwood floor in a kitchen - Flooring Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

It's so great when you come across a contractor who you really enjoy working with. Celtic Floorcraft was recommended by a neighbor who raved about them, and they were completely right. They did three rooms for us, one of which required staining to match other rooms in the house. They matched the stain by blending two colors and they did more than we asked for in two rooms because they thought it would look better; they are clearly knowledgeable, experienced, and provide good advice, they were courteous and cleaned up well, and they showed up when they said they were going to not to mention following up and communicating during the process. Martin Fogarty - the owner - came by at least once each day to inspect the work and in some cases participated. I don't often write reviews (particularly glowing ones) but these guys deserve it - hire them, you won't be disappointed. read more

My wife and I recently had our wood floors refinished as well as getting new wood floors in our kitchen and entry way. I called several companies who came over to give me an estimate. All of them told me they would have to rip up the old floors and replace them. I was very skeptical because the floors looked and felt stable. I just thought if they were refinished it would be fine, but all companies were steering me away from that. One day my wife and I were in the Brighton area and a box truck drove by us that read Celtic Floorcraft. It happened at such an opportune time considering we were just discussing the floors and what we should do. I pointed at the truck and wrote down the number. Later that week we called, and the owner Martin Fogarty came by the house. What was comforting about Martin was he was so honest and forthcoming with us and we never felt like he was taking advantage or giving us misinformation. He said he wouldn't rip up the existing floors because they were in good condition and all they needed was some TLC. He also explained the process of putting wood in the kitchen and entry way. My wife and I were very impressed with how professional Martin was. He explained that we would need to be out of the house for a couple of weeks in order for them to do it. The fumes are very powerful and we have three small children, so we needed to be out. We both felt very comfortable with Martin and ended up giving him a key to the house, so he and his crew could do everything when we were on vacation. When we came back from vacation we were in awe of how good the house looked and how clean it was. Not only did the floors look great, but they also cleaned up after themselves and didn't leave any mess. We were very happy with everything, so the moral of this story is if you need your wood floors done there's only one business you need to call and that's Celtic Floorcraft. read more

They were punctual, respectful, responsive and obviously skilled. I am looking forward to working with Martin and his team again. read more

Celtic Floorcraft is top notch! They did a beautiful job refinishing our kitchen floor, which was scratched and had significant water staining. Martin Fogarty is a real professional. He's responsive, communicative about his scheduling and process and follows through. I like working with contractors who take pride in their work and who engage with their customers as if they were partners. That's how he operates. He explained what he was going to do, showed up on time, completed the work as outlined and followed up. He consulted with my wife to make sure she was happy with the results and did whatever he could to minimize the disruption to our household. He also gave us useful tips on how to preserve and protect the new floor, which we appreciated. I couldn't recommend Celtic Floorcraft and Martin more enthusiastically! read more

We had Celtic Floorcraft remove wall-to-wall carpeting and install hardwood flooring in an office over the existing plywood. They also removed and replaced a few damaged floorboards in our entryway. They were here when they said would be (over the course of 3 separate days), kept the dust to an absolute minimum (they vacuumed many times) and put three coats of finish on the new wood. It looks great and we are pleased with the result. read more

I have used Celtic floor craft for multiple projects and each time they have done excellent work they did my house with old damaged pine floors and exposed nails and made them look perfect and smooth. i have also used them on another project in a kitchen installing hardwood and matching up to another floor and the job was done expertly and came out great they even did some extra to make it look better. Martin is great to work with and communicates everything very well. I have recommended him to friends and everyone was happy with the great work they did read more

My husband and I hired Martin/Celtic Floorcraft to install hardwood flooring throughout our 1000 sq ft condo in Brighton. This was not an easy job as we live there, along with all of our furniture. Martin gave us a quote and told us the job would be finished in 5-6 days. He communicated with us during the entire job and let us know what to expect on a day to day basis. Martin and his crew also helped us move/uninstall/reinstall all of the heavy appliances and furniture we could not. Not only do our floors look fantastic but the work was finished on time and at the exact price of the original quote. I would recommend Celtic Floorcraft to anyone who is looking for new flooring, they did a fantastic job. read more

We recently used Celtic Floorcraft to replace approximately 800 square feet of tile and old, mismatched, and substandard hardwood floors with new white oak hardwoods. Martin came highly recommended from my father-in-law, who had used him for his own projects. From the initial meeting, it was clear that Martin was an expert in his field, helping us think through the project, providing recommendations and developing a timeline that worked with our schedule. Ripping up floors can be very disruptive to a household, but Martin kept the project on schedule and on budget, moving very quickly and minimizing the collateral impact of dust and debris while always keeping us informed as to how they were progressing. As for the end result, the floors look incredible. We were amazed by the transformation. Martin and Albert are highly skilled craftsmen and were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend calling Martin for your next project. read more

We moved into a 16 yr old house (3200 sq ft) in Sudbury with plywood floors & carpet on the 2nd floor and the same situation on 3/8th of the first floor. Celtic Floorcraft removed 2200 sq ft of carpeting and closely matched the raw wood from the original 1000 sq ft of front hallway, living room, kitchen & dining room. They brought the wood flooring and left it a week to get acclimated to the temperature/humidity conditions. The job of carpet/padding/nail strip removal, new flooring installation, refinishing the original 1000 sq ft and finishing the new 2200 sq ft was a work of art. I am a perfectionist electronics engineer and deal with micro-miniature high precision mechanical/electronic assemblies. I can tell you that there were no mistakes in the 2200 sq ft of new flooring (including the inside of sliding door closets). It looked like the new flooring was installed when the house was built. It was PERFECT, even all the undercutting of door jambs was perfect. I was actually amazed because I never thought it would look that good. We used Celtic Floorcraft a second time a couple of years later after our new puppy ruined the floor in one of the newly done rooms by going #1 on a small area rug and through the padding that went unnoticed and ate its way through the polyurethane deep staining the floor in several areas. Martin showed up at the time he said for the estimate and then right on time to replace/refinish sections of the ruined flooring. This was very important to us because we have a super tight schedule with kids in school and both of us work full time. Martin is a craftsman and has trained his workers well. read more

This is the second time I've used Martin. Both times he was extremely professional and did a wonderful job. He got back to me immediately and he is very reasonably priced. For aesthetic reasons, he actually polyurethaned small hallway at no additional cost. He did all the work while I was at work and I came home each day to an immaculate dust free home. I have recommended him to friends read more

I have had Martin refinish almost every floor in my house. He was able to match old wood stains so you couldn't tell where a new floor began and an old one ended. His workers were neat and he was always available to answer questions, calling back promptly when I left a message. The first time I used him he refinished most of the floors after a big renovation. I was skeptical that the floors would ever look beautiful again but he did it. I would highly recommend Celtic Floorcraft. read more
