Discussion about
I want to put a new hardwood floor over existing woodfloor in a prewar 2 BR. I went to a local shop they wanted 17k for 800 sqf of floor. Any recommendations for a reliable flooring company? Thank you!

Contact Pepe at nikywoodfloors@gmail.com or (347) 531-8812 He removed a damaged floor in my bedroom (220 sq.ft.), discarded the old wood, installed plywood underlayment and soundproofing, and a Turman 3.5" oak strip flooring for around $6,300. This also included extending the wood flooring into some very odd shaped closets. He could not install the flooring over the existing flooring because it was warped and buckled. This included hand crafting a new door sill into the bedroom. He also had to cut down 3 doors in the bedroom because the new flooring with the plywood was thicker than the old one.

This is a small firm that subcontracts on many very large jobs. They did an excellent job and were very orderly, assuring that deliveries and work did not impact the rest of our apartment. The owner visited twice before the job started: once to scope out the job and show us samples; once to show us exactly what we would get. He and the crew were very professional and respectful.

This firm also refinished the other floors in our apartment, not an easy job because many areas had stains more than 4 feet in diameter, and we did not have 230 amps. for his regular machines. You could still see some of the stains after sanding, so he blended colors for the floor so they appeared a uniform color. Excellent job there also.
