    Brazilian cherry w/ Minwax ebony stain (partially mixed with jacobean) & water based poly--maintains the warm, red undertones of the cherry.
    Mark V.

    Radu did an excellent job on the floors for our new home. I found Special Floor here on Yelp, after inviting quotes from various flooring companies. His quote was thousands less. While that originally made me nervous, the reviews here reassured me that he would do a good job. He was prompt every day, completed the job in the exact time frame he said he would, offered helpful advice, and was honest every step of the way. I specifically was a little nervous about staining our brazilian cherry floors. But we wanted to move away from the fire red natural color to something more brown with warm undertones. Radu suggested a stain that looks fantastic and fits our needs perfectly. I highly recommend.

    One of five rooms (don't mind the trim, the markings are not from wood stain. The trim is very old, has scuffs, and needs to be replaced).

    We just purchased a home with old carpets, and Radu's team did an amazing job in restoring the wood floor underneath. Every part of the process was great: quick and clear communication, very lovely to work with, such beautiful work in refinishing wood floors that were in rough shape, and a quick work timeline. We love our new floors! When pulling up the carpet, they found a section that did not have the original floors, and they were able to match the wood perfectly. If you're searching for someone to refinish your wood floors, I highly recommend Special Floors!

    I had to book someone to do the floors before closing date as I wanted to have the floors done as soon as possible. Based on the rough sizes of the rooms I provided, Radu gave a very reasonable estimate. Communication was a breeze. Radu is extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. Once he began the work, there was some unforeseen things that needed to be done. Radu took care of those with a very reasonable cost. The total cost was very close to the initial quote. We could not be happier with how our floors look when Radu work was done. They look great! Highly recommend Special Floor - affordable and quality work.

    Radu and his team were great people to work with. He was willing to be flexible with specific finishing requests, was open to a mixed stain color, and provided good advice. He was also clean (as far as refinishing floors can go) , responsive, and willing to have us peek in from time to time. Finally, for condo dwellers, he was very willing to follow the HOA rules, which was a big plus. Radu gave us a fair price and quick, quality work all within the initial quote! His and his team's work helped transform my condo.

    I am beyond happy with my hardwood flooring experience for several reasons. First, his reviews on Yelp and Thumbtak reflect his quality of work and character. Second, Radu's prices are very reasonable-he offered three coats of poly/varnish for the same price as other quotes for just two coats. Third, I was able to do the job in two phases, so I didn't have to hire movers, and fourth...omg my floors are gorgeous! Pictures do not adequately portray how well they turned out and just how meticulously Radu and his team work. For reference, I did 50% Minwax classic grey and 50% espresso with a satin Bona HD finish.

    Radu was amazing! Always quick to respond and very professional. Did a great job in matching and installing new flooring. I would highly recommend him for your flooring needs!

    Radu was responsive, flexible and affordable. And best- I love my floors! He dealt with my color indecision and was a joy to work with. I would highly recommend this company. My photos are from when they were still wet, so they appear glossier than they actually are.

    We were looking to refinish our existing floors plus remove carpet and add matching floors to our bedrooms. We got 3 estimates and Radu's was most reasonable. From the beginning he was very responsive and communicated with us every step of the way. He and his team did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier with our new floors! Radu completed the floors in about a week. If you are looking to refinish your floor or add new ones, do not hesitate in choosing Radu and I can say with 100% confidence he will do an amazing job! Thanks, Radu!!!

    Radu was incredibly communicative and responsible throughout the flooring process. He refinished red oak floors in my house, installed new hardwood in the bedrooms, removed thresholds, and applied three coats of varnish. Even provided sample stains to choose from and did not need to ask for a touch-up, though he offers them free of charge. Radu's quote was more than fair, workmanship top-notch (look at that tolerance up against the cabinets!), and responsiveness bar-none. I'm sure you'll love working with him now and will love your floors as much as we do for years to come. Thank you Radu!!!

    I got my floors sanded and had two coats of oil poly applied.  This is one month later; I am happy with the results.

    Radu, and his team, at Special Floor is top-notch. He responded to my bid promptly and he was very thorough. He is super easy to communicate with. Best of all, he came in at a fair price and he did an excellent job.

    These are the guys you are looking for to take care of your hardwood flooring needs. We needed carpet removed from a couple of rooms and then have hardwood blended in with our existing hardwood (that was due for a refinish). They did a phenomenal job of blending the areas of carpet into the existing hardwood and then sanding and refinishing to perfection. Their attention to detail, high quality of work, and managing a great work experience all made the project come out fantastic. What's amazing is that they came in at such a reasonable price that we added another office room to the project since it was so affordable. I rarely recommend anyone at a full five stars, but Radu and his crew are worth six or seven stars. Hire him!!!

    Very happy we chose Special Floor. Radu was awesome and thoughtful and our floors turned out really nice with a water based matte finish. I was especially impressed with the job they did installing and flushing up new flooring to match the existing floors, it's perfectly seamless. I will recommend them to everyone who's willing to listen to me!

    Highly recommend JP Hardwood Flooring!…read more Johnny came out to my house and gave me an estimate to refinish all of my hardwood floors the same day. He does charge more than a few other quotes I received, but his rates reflect the quality of his work. He is very responsive and laid down all of the stain options I was looking at in 4 different rooms throughout my house so I could really see how the color looked in different lighting conditions. He was also able to seamlessly fill in all of the cracks in our floors making them look brand new and did the entire house in less than a week! Make sure you do your research on whether or not you want Synteko for your finish - we ended up going with a water-based finish since we have a dog and little babies crawling on our floors and didn't want to risk the toxins, but I would definitely trust Johnny with the finish if you're interested in it. Finally, about a month after moving in, one of our stair treads broke off and Johnny was able to come and replace it in a matter of days - he asked for the measurements ahead of time, so when he showed up at 8am, he already had the tread pre-cut and was done with everything within the hour. His work is truly phenomenal and I would recommend him for any hardwood needs you have!

    Johnny and his team were absolutely amazing to work with! They were always punctual, professional,…read moreand respectful of our space. He fit us in last minute which was very appreciated. The work was done efficiently -- they replaced the carpet on our stairs with hardwood, and the color match to our floor was nearly perfect.

He was also very responsive throughout the entire process. Our stairs and floors look fantastic -- I highly recommend Johnny and his team!

    I would not use this company again. The salesperson told me the boards needed to be replaced and…read morequoted me for that work. When the installer team came out, they did not replace the boards and told me new boards were unnecessary. I was still charged for the board replacements anyway. I disputed this directly with the company on March 19th, the day of the installation, and did not receive a follow-up. I had to reach back out on March 31st to continue addressing the issue. At that point, they asked for photos, despite my earlier explanation that photos would not prove anything because of the nature of the work. Today, they responded by saying the pictures were "not proof" and agreed to issue a refund, but only after I pushed the issue. At that point, it's no longer just about the money. It's about integrity, poor internal communication, and how a legitimate customer concerns are handled by this business.

She informed me we don't shave doors down. I responded with I have door all of them work except one. They refuse to rectify the situation. Now im going to fix the closet door and see them in small claims court. Bad thing about it is these Latinos two couldn't speak English. So I know they're illegal. Let me call ICS on this company.
