Melvin and his team did a fantastic job laying LVP throughout our house. His recommendations for materials and approach on our older home were very helpful. He was highly responsive and flexible in timing to accomodate our renovation schedule. I would highly recommend him to any friends or neighbors. read more

Melvin and his team did a fantastic job refinishing my hardwood floors. They even made minor repairs to areas where there were gaps in the wood and suggested the best finishes for my home. I would highly recommend them to friends and family. Thank you Melvin. read more

Excellent job for a reasonable price. Buffed and refinished floors, corrected issue with worn/grayed area where surface had worn off and decay set in. Color matched area perfectly. Pleased with results. Thank you Melvin. read more

Melvin's team was great, very punctual and communicative when I had questions ahead of our service. He was upfront about what could be done on my floors and what couldn't be done. We did a small area of refinishing and a buff and recoat all over the rest of the house. I wasn't sure the buff and recoat would be worthwhile on my original and very old floors but they're definitely smoother and feel refreshed in addition to the extra protection I was looking for. The value for what I feel like we got was very worth it. read more

Yelp! rocks again! - Yelp! has done well for home service contractors 3 out of 3 previous times, so when I finally got around to doing much-needed flooring, I turned to Yelp!, found three highly-rated flooring companies with consistently legitimate favorable-to-stellar reviews (I disregard reviews from Yelpers with only one or two reviews). As mom and dad always stressed, I always get at least three estimates/bids. The visit and estimates - I contacted all three flooring companies within a two-day period, mid-last-week. All got back within one or two days, but Melvin actually responded and came out same day. All three had good service on the estimate, offering suggestions here and there and so although I gave the edge to Melvin I was waiting on prices. Early the next week I received the three estimates and two were within $200 of each other, the third was $2,200 higher with no difference in materials or anything else on the detailed estimate. All three did a great job of detailing the work to be done and that made it easy to choose... to choose Melvin. The job - Melvin started the work last Friday, with two of his two-man teams working all day. Saturday and Monday one team worked all day. Tuesday and today they finished up. One team includes his brother, Milton, who did some fine craftsmanship work (see pics). Every day, the floor specialists were very special, great attitudes, polite, protected everywhere with plastic, moved my furniture gently, etc. They were perfect, it's not easy to get a skilled craftsman who also cares about the customer and customer service with a great, personable attitude. The job included four rooms and stairs: 1. Replace 26-year old vinyl floor in kitchen with faux-marble luxury vinyl. 2. Refinish oak hardwood in living room, family room, hallway and pine stairs - one coat of stain and two coats of oil-based polyurethane (Melvin explained during the estimate that although oil-based requires drying overnight/longer time, my 72-year-old hardwood floors deserve/need oil-based because water-based in not as gentle on brittle wood). Paint the stair risers white. The results - the clean-up was meticulously done and they refused to accept payment until after I assured them everything was perfect. Best part of it was I could tell they really cared about making me happy. See the pics. The darkish color on the stairs is just a photo/lighting anomaly as is the red color on the floors in the family room. THANK YOU, Melvin, for running such an amazing small flooring business. I will be calling when we get to the bedroom floor refinishing. Thanks to everyone on your teams for a job really well done! read more

This review is long overdue. This past June, Melvin, Angel, Edwin, and the rest of the crew helped to replace and restore our family room and kitchen floors after a devastating flood. It was tricky because we have an open floor plan and three large openings connecting the front of the house to the back- where all of the damage occurred. The most difficult part of the job was matching the color of the new floors to the color of the old floors. Frankly, we didn't think any floor company could match the color and almost all the contractors who gave us quotes told us it would be difficult but "maybe rugs over the thresholds would help!!" Angel and crew worked and worked to match the new floors to the old and they accomplished an amazing match. It is virtually impossible to tell the new from the old!! Although the new floors in back have an absolutely lovely finish and subtle golden/reddish hue which we prefer to the old ones. We were on a very tight timeframe as we had a family death in the middle of the job and needed to quickly leave town. Melvin and team worked hard to finish the job on time and leave our house clean and beautiful. Every time we walk on our gorgeous floors we think of how hard Melvin and his crew worked and the absolutely outstanding job they did. The price was very reasonable too! Thank you Melvin and crew, we will be forever grateful!! Bonnie and Roberto read more

Melvin and his team did a fantastic job refinishing the parquet floors in my apartment. They offered a variety of stains for refinishing and made repairs for free. I trusted them to do the work well and treat my place respectfully while I was at work, and they followed through. Cannot recommend them enough! The price was also very fair for the work they performed. read more

Reached out and then replied to him twice to see if we could find a mutually agreeable time. He never responded to either of my messages following back up. He may be too busy to give me a quote but he should indicate that at the time of the request. Ended up booking a job with a competitor who was capable to responding and coming by for a quote. Would not recommend even considering or contacting based on his exceptionally poor communication. read more

Hi! Melvin and his crew recently worked in our home. They were tasked with refinishing the floors on our 2nd floor. They removed the carpets and baseboards, sanded, stained, and polyurethane our floors. They also upgraded our baseboards. Everything was done beautifully, and in a timely manner. They were prompt, courteous, and neat as a pin. All for an excellent price. Honestly, if you want your floors done, you only to make 1 call. Call Melvin, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Melvin & crew. Lisa & Tim read more

I contacted Melvin's Floor Specialists based on Yelp reviews on Wednesday, July 9th and they responded immediately. We set up an appointment for them to view the floor I wanted refinished on Friday, July 11th between 12:00pm and 12:30pm. I cleared my schedule to be home for that time. They never showed up or called about a delay. read more

We were extremely happy with Melvin's Floor Specialists and give them a strong recommendation. We had water damage in our condo and had to replace the old bamboo composite flooring which was glued to the subflooring. Melvin's proposal was the lowest by $1,000 and his team did excellent work. The job took longer than expected because it was so hard to remove the old bamboo but Melvin did not charge us extra. They had to move our furniture and did a good job covering and protecting it. Melvin and his young team were friendly and professional. Our building manager recommended Melvin because he had done good work for other residents. He earned his good reputation. read more

Melvin was very responsive and timely when he came to measure and give me an estimate for new flooring. He made things so convenient by bringing samples. He also made scheduling the job easy and had the job done exactly when we needed. His crew worked incredibly hard and fast. They worked around some large pieces of furniture that we couldn't remove and treated our belongings very carefully. They paid attention to detail, made sure we were pleased with the results, cleaned up well, and were extremely respectful. I have already recommended Melvin to family and friends! read more

At first all seemed good. The wife was happy with the flooring, after the second attempt to get the colour to somewhat match. However the after sales service lacks. Two panels broke. Not by abuse, merely by my stepping on them. There was no sub floor installed, so the boards can and do have little to no support underneath them. I'm sure this is not the way the manufacturer advises them to be installed. We called and explained the issue. Melvin came, looked at the problem and said it's not covered by the warranty for.... Reasons. When you pay $6,000 for a floor you do not expect broken boards within months. My wife decided to press the issue, did the manufacturer advise a subfloor to be used? Melvin answered that a sub floor would not work as there is the original floor and the boards he put down. So there would be a rise between the two floors. $450 to fix the issue! Why? Because we were accused of resting furniture on a weak spot on the floor. No furniture was placed there. My foot went through the floor, not the bed or anything else. Seemingly we are at an impasse. We don't want to pay $450 to fix an issue caused by faulty installation. And he refuses to admit that the installation was flawed. *Strange how he can not find me in his files, but he texted my wife just fine....* read more

Melvin's team did my whole house refinishing my floors to an updated stain (dark walnut) . They worked with me to stagger the work so we did not have to leave the home for extended amount of time adding to the cost of the project.

Melvin’s Floor Specialists - Attic red pine restored to original color. No stain added. Beautiful! - Flooring Near Me

BLUF: I would absolutely recommend Melvin's Floor Specialists. Melvin's team took out all the old carpet from my stairs & top level, replaced it with engineered wood, and installed beautiful oak treads for the stairs. The attention to detail--especially matching flooring and stair stain to my other levels was really really fantastic. I really appreciated how responsive Melvin and his team were to my questions and requests. (for example: I had requested some additional stain to keep for me so I could fix where builders missed a spot, and once I pointed out my concern, the crew fixed it for me. They really didnt have to and I was just explaining what I needed the stain for, but they took care of it!) The crew cleaned up the house each day after they finished for the day and answered all my questions. Really fantastic work and great value from this company. read more

Melvin was easy to communicate with and got the job done quickly. Initially I was convinced I wanted a glue down floor but he showed me options with an SPC floating floor that ended up being about the same price all in. I'll try to rehire him for a future hardwood refinishing job. read more

Melvin's floor specialists were awesome. Quick response, nice job on carpet, on time, on budget, and friendly. Perfect

I would highly recommend Melvin's Flooring Specialists! We were in the market to have our floors replaced with LVP and all our carpet replaced. We received quotes from a few well rated flooring companies and Melvin provided an extremely competitive quote and he had great reviews, so we decided to have him do the job and we were extremely happy with the results. Melvin provided us with a lot of options of flooring and carpet to choose from and didn't try to sell us with some long-winded presentation. He even came back after we picked a flooring style and changed our mind to allow us to view all the samples and choose a different color. Melvin and his team arrived on time and started working quickly. The workers were courteous and friendly and worked hard to pull up all the flooring, fix problem spots, and lay down new flooring. The quality of work was top notch. All flooring cutouts in the bathroom and kitchen and corners were clean and fit perfectly. We were so impressed with the work being done that we also asked Melvin to do the stairs too! Melvin was able to update the schedule, order more materials, and include in with the current work being done without issue. We were able to communicate with the workers easily and they even helped me haul out our old broken dishwasher to make room for the new one! We were SO happy with the updated stairs!!! They even painted all the risers, trim, and banister! Melvin and his team also did an amazing job with the carpets upstairs. They moved and carefully took apart large furniture items, fixed squeaky flooring spots, and laid carpet down with seamless transitions into the LVP in the bathrooms. I would absolutely 100% hire Melvin and his team in the future again when we update our basement, and I would highly recommend him to everyone and anyone who is looking to have their floors\carpets\stairs redone. Absolutely amazing job! Thanks Melvin! read more

We went with Melvin after getting 3 quotes on flooring. His quote was almost identical to another contractor's, with the third being double what Melvin and the other guy quoted us! We chose Melvin over the other contractor because it was clear from talking to him that he was genuinely invested in giving us a good result, not just in selling things. He pointed out small details that we hadn't thought of and overall seemed very knowledgeable and thorough. We got our hardwood floors restained, and got new carpet upstairs. The workers were friendly and professional, and the project took about 6 days. At the last minute I changed my mind about the stain color I wanted, and they were extremely accommodating, running back out to the store to get a different color right then and there. The end product is beautiful, and we are so happy we went with Melvin! The only thing I will say is that before you get your project done, make sure to ask what parts of your home will be inaccessible during the project. We were caught a bit off guard that although they were only working on the floors, all the counters and appliances in our kitchen were blocked off too (for the sawdust, which was smart, but we just hadn't thought about it). With a little warning, we would have been able to prep a bit better to not have access to the kitchen for a few days. Overall, we would hire them again in a heartbeat! Melvin is super kind and great to work with, and he really cares about the end result for his customers. read more

Another 5 stars for Melvin and his team. From the quick communication over Yelp and text message, to the speedy quote and then ease of scheduling.. working with Melvin's Floor Specialists was great. I received 3 quotes for the job to replace carpet with engineered hardwood planks, but Melvin was the only one that seemed fair and understanding of the job. His crew arrived on time, and replaced flooring in one day. We purchased our own flooring and the glue. The results are terrific. Highly recommend. read more

We hired Melvin to refinish the floors in our newly purchased home. The price was the most reasonable amongst multiple estimates (but not the lowest...never take the lowest!). He estimated the work on our 2000sf home would take 4-5 days, but was actually done in 3. The end result looks amazing and we couldn't be happier. Communication was easy and clear, and Melvin made sure to address all of our personal concerns along the way. Highly recommend. read more

Melvin could be a little nicer and more personable. He's very business focus and does a good job, but is not very personable.

Melvin and his crew did professional work on replacing the hardwood flooring in my family room and buffing/sealing the dining room/hall. Fine craftsmanship overall. The crew treated my furniture with respect when moved. The floor was replaced in 1 day rather than two in other bids. As disruptive as the process is inherently, this made the big difference, as well the quality of workmanship. I highly recommend Melvin and his crew. read more
