    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!

    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 While that originally made me nervous, the reviews here reassured me that he would do a good job.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.

    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!

    I hired Rovin's Hardwood Flooring to redo the flooring in two of my rooms. There was some horrid…read moreancient carpet in there I wanted removed and replaced with vinyl flooring. The estimate was quick to schedule and the pricing was well within what to expect in this market. The work was done in a a single day and what a beautiful job! Happy with the new floors in my room. There was some small touches that needed to get done on a second day, but the overall work is great. Highly recommend for your next flooring job!

    Fair price for fair work. We had our red oak floors refinished due to water damage. Adrian from…read moreRovin's flooring came out right away to inspect the damage and provide a quote. We had received multiple quotes from other companies but we liked Adrian's professionalism the best. Rovin's workers showed up on time the day work was to begin; however, a job that was supposed to take 1.5 days to finish took 5 days due to human error, and trying to resolve the problem (drip from final application on floor where the worker set his roller to leave for the day and forgot to smooth it out on his way out the door). Total accident. It was one minor problem that turned into several after trying to rebuff and reapply the finish. I contacted Adrian when I noticed the drip and he sent his guy back that same day and the entire first floor hand to be rebuffed and another finish applied. With that said, this is a Swedish finish with horrible fumes so I'm sure it took it's toll on the worker. Unfortunately, the next day I noticed a very uneven application in several areas. I called Andrian again and he came to inspect the job the next day and said he's very busy but he would be back tomorrow to redo them himself. Anyway, Adrian came out to correct the problem which I appreciate but there are still some spots that I'm not completely satisfied with but I did not want him to do it again. I can hide those spots with rugs or furniture, and I want to get my house back in order. Overall, Adrian is professional and the floor looks way better than it did when they started. There was a language barrier with the workers so be mindful of this but Andrian is easy to reach if you have questions or need clarification. I wanted to give them 4+ stars so bad but couldn't justify it given the delays, uneven application in certain areas and no discount offered for the inconvenience. Would I hire Rovens again? Yes, probably, because he's professional and he tried to turn around the situation. Good customer service means a lot to us and I can tell Andrian wants to ensure his customers are satisfied. I added a photo of the drip that caused the rework if that hadn't happened I would have given them 5 stars because everywhere else was perfect. Unfortunately, the rework process turned one problem into several problems and additional delays in completing the work.

Three were eliminated because of the onerous terms of their form contracts, the unprofessional rep who visited us, or the delay/failure to provide a written bid. 312Flooring was completely different. Jesse, who came to bid the job, was knowledgeable, helpful, and obviously had authority to respond to questions and concerns. Peter, the owner, reviewed Jesse's video of the job, and approved the written bid. We chose 312Flooring. Their bid was not the lowest, but they were not the highest either. Peter and Jesse guided the project through our Condo Assn., stayed in touch with us reporting their progress, and were ready to start on the date promised. On the appointed day, the installation crew, Juan and his two sons, arrived. The next three days were almost pleasurable -- they were skilled, polite, respectful of our home, and enormously helpful in resolving the difficulties that arise during any remodeling project. Our floor was finished on time and on budget and we are very pleased with the finished product. While any home improvement project can be stressful, we heartily recommend 312Flooring should you decide to replace or install hardwood flooring.
