When Tao first came by for a free estimate, he had great suggestions to make the space look larger and more open. We wanted to try to match the existing hardwood floors we already had as much as possible. Tao immediately knew what kind of floors to use and he even had samples on hand so that I could compare them with our current floors. Tao's estimate was very reasonable and comparable to other companies I reached out to. I went with Tao because of his background as a designer and I trusted he would make sure the floors look great! It ended up being a great decision because we are very happy with our new floors! The installation process was very smooth and even finished earlier than expected. The crew was very respectful of our home and did a great job keeping the house clean after their work was done. Any minor issues I found during installation were immediately remedied by the team without any issue. Overall, I would highly recommend reaching out to Tao for your next flooring project!

Tao stood out for how knowledgeable he was. First, he was clearly knowledgeable. Based on photos alone, he corrected me that the wood was not mahogany (as our home inspector said) but instead Brazilian cherry. I verified that he was correct with the listing agent. No other company did this. Second, he had the lowest quoted price for the job. Third, after I selected him, he was transparent about tradeoffs rather than purely trying to upsell me. For example, he quoted me on installing wood registers everywhere when I asked, but recommended I do so only in the hallways. This advice saved me $1k and delivered a result in very happy with. Finally, Tao was easily the most response person I interacted with. It was a pleasure to work with Tao, and I'm very happy with the outcome.

I had already been waiting two months for delivery, so to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Then the panic kicked in. Since it was a custom sectional, I would get majorly dinged if I returned it. But what other options were there? That's where Melo and Sons came in. The delivery guy put me on the phone with his manager to talk it over. Yes, returning the sectional was an option, as was taking out my dining room window to bring the sofa portion in that way (hell no!) Or... I could have some pros disassemble it at their warehouse then reassemble it in my living room. Of my three options, the third was the winner by a longshot. As I was the first delivery of the day, I patiently waited until Melo and Sons opened then gave them a ring. Joanne immediately answered and put my nerves at ease. It was obvious I wasn't the first numpty to purchase a too big piece of furniture that needed saving by them. After providing her all the requested information, I had a delivery date for about three weeks out. By the time my Boston Interiors salesperson called to discuss the failed delivery, everything was already tucked and tied with Melo and Sons. When the big day finally arrived, Mike and George showed up right on time and quickly got to work. They laid down moving blankets to protect the floor then brought up the disassembled sofa in several carefully wrapped pieces. Aside from being the consummate professionals, they were funny to boot. It took them less than two hours to reassemble the sofa and at long last reunite it with its other half. That evening, after three long months, I finally got to relax on and enjoy my sectional in its full glory. All thanks to Melo and Sons and their niche specialty.

We hired Duffy Wood Floors for a project, enticed by their purported family-owned ethos and extensive experience but buyer beware, Chris Potts is simply an expert salesman. He leads you to believe he is the one carrying out the work; however, day of the project, we discover it has been outsourced to local flooring contractors who barely make eye contact and struggle to communicate with you. The final outcome for 3.5k was far from satisfactory. Debris and bubbles trapped under the polyurethane marred the surface, alongside noticeable HOLES between the wood planks. They sloppily applied finish all over the baseboard. This evident rush job lacked attention to detail, evident in the neglect of basic procedures like using a tack cloth. The workers left on a mini split fan despite me asking whether it should be turned off -- they said "no, it will help with the drying". Lo and behold, it actually just spread debris everywhere. Subsequent attempts to rectify the situation necessitated additional time, as they had to come back to address the flaws, including filling the holes in the BRAND NEW WOOD with wood filler. The results were subpar and did not justify the high cost, especially considering the modest size of the room. While I anticipate a less than professional response from Chris to this review (as I've seen his responses to other legitimate negative reviews) I feel compelled to warn others about our disappointing experience with Duffy Wood Floors. As such, I strongly advise exploring alternative options for your wood flooring needs. Personally, I am redirecting my upcoming projects to a different contractor in Medford, steering clear of Duffy Flooring due to their unsatisfactory performance. read more

We have looked around for many years, but have never found a better sanding company to work with than Duffy Floors. They came to our home right away to give us a quote and worked around our schedule. Our well-worn floors are now gleaming and look brand new. There was virtually no dust left behind when they left. We have had our floors sanded by other companies in the past, and there is no comparison. We wish we had found Duffy Floors sooner. We are extremely pleased with the results. read more

Duffy Floors was recommended to me by both a neighbor and a Newton realtor, so I figured the company would be good. Chris Potts from Duffy responded quickly to my request for an estimate. What's more, he clearly and patiently explained how I could refinish my home's floors while living in the house, packed with furniture, two humans, and a dog. Turns out a buyer made an offer on my house in spite of the worn floors, but I recommend Duffy based on my excellent experience with Chris. read more

Chris is amazing. We had neglected and worn down the surface of our kitchen hardwood floors to the point where we needed to totally refinish them. Chris and his team worked their magic to perfectly match the color of the underlying stain and did a beautiful job of recoating with a matte finish. They were prompt, polite, and surprisingly clean. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. Our floors are a showpiece! Thanks Chris!! read more

My wife and I are busy physicians at local hospitals with an 8-month old baby, so as you can imagine, we needed truly a personalized service. I was a little nervous at first as there's not much information online about the company, but am so happy with the results! ESTIMATE: I first contacted Carl via email, and sent him an architectural rendering of our home, as well as thoughts on the type of carpet we were looking for. Immediately that day, he was able to send back by email an estimate as well as a link to a carpet company's website for us to further learn about the products. We scheduled a home visit later that week (he was extremely accommodating, coming at 8pm after I got home from work) with a set of carpet samples. He precisely measured all of the rooms that needed carpeting as my baby was playing with the carpet samples, and refined the estimated price. My wife was still at work, and so I took an iPhone picture of the samples and told him that I'd get back to him with the color, however was happy with the product. Of course, when my wife came home, the iPhone picture didn't suffice, and wanted to feel and go through the carpet samples herself. SO Carl drove back to our home and dropped off the carpet samples for a couple of days so that we could take our time in making a decision. I was impressed at how there was no sales pressure whatsoever, and was completely understanding. We were finally able to make a decision on the color and product. PRICE: He's definitely not the highest priced company, and my only advice, needless to say, is to do a little homework. After doing a little bit of research, I can tell you that he is totally reasonable. QUALITY OF INSTALLATION: Carl sold us an excellent product, but can also tell you that the quality of the installation is awesome. There were some pitfalls that he warned us about ahead of time (the newer carpet is more plush and prone to crushing, the new carpet is higher, and so will create step-offs at transition points) but there absolutely were no surprises. INSTALLERS: Since my wife and I were both at work, and we basically blindly entrusted our home and valuables to Teo (the installer) and his crew. I can tell you that they were incredibly professional in their work, and incredibly respectful of our stuff. Obviously they can't place things back 100% where they came from, nor did we expect them to, but they were pretty close! On top of that, I asked them to move our television set away from the baby's play area as she's getting more mobile, and without even hesitation, when I came home that evening, I was incredibly impressed even that was done! When they left, they turned off all of the lights, locked the doors, left the key on the kitchen table for us. OVERALL: My wife and I value honesty in a person and company over anything else. We think we're pretty good judges of character, and can say that we were truly impressed by Carl and his company. His responsiveness to email, the respect of our home, quality of the product, and quality of the installation were excellent. He truly went above and beyond, has great character, and we will not hesitate to use him for all of our subsequent flooring needs!! A+
