Parquet Floor Service Inc.

The pictures should almost speak for themselves. We went from standard yellow, shiny floors to the most beautiful whitish and silky mat finish.
We got a few quotes for the work we needed and even though Parquet Floor Service wasn’t the cheapest, we decided to have them do the work and we did not regret that. The crew was very skilled and careful and delivered such beautiful job. We would recommend them anytime.
A word of advice regarding the actual color of the finished floor: Ask for samples made on your existing floor to avoid any misunderstandings of how the finished floor will look like.
After moving in we have had family, friends, different work crews in and all of them notice how gorgeous the floors are and compliment them.

Good estimate, nice guy. Booked the work, and now feel like I wasn’t given enough info. I had no idea (and in hindsight, I see I should have researched more) how long the process is. I’m now on my fourth night in a hotel and that’s a substantial cost on top of the fee for the work. I thought that booking work for «friday and saturday» would mean that floors would be repaired, sanded and prepped first thing friday, with a first coat on same day, and verathane on next day early enough that we could walk on it end of second day. not the case. Got home tonight (Tuesday) and thankfully felt the floor before stomping in… completely tacky still, like the last coat had just been put on. So still not in our house. On top of it, requested «ebony» stain is absolutely not dark enough. In fairness, we were warned that color may be lighter than sample — but to me there’s a big diff between ‘lighter’ and what looks like a completely different color.
Live and learn I guess. But for anyone planning work, make sure you ask exactly the timing, how long stuff takes to dry, and whether a swatch can be done in advance to confirm color.
