Everything from quote to final work was excellent. George was very responsive and his crew was very professional and efficient. I didn’t think my old floors could look so great! To top it off they were one of the reasonably priced quotes

GB Hardwood Flooring did a great job on refinishing hardwood floors in 5 rooms and a staircase. They were covered with carpeting for over 60 years and they were able to make them like new. Very impressed with their crew – on time and worked diligently until the project was completed. I would recommend them to anyone.

I needed a dining room, powder room, hallway, and kitchen refinished in a small window of time while I was out of town, and George delivered. The floors look amazing and I think he left my house cleaner than when he arrived. Anyone who works with contractors knows the value of one who is timely, communicates consistently, does quality work, and finishes on time. George does all those things - he responded quickly to my request for an estimate, arrived on time for the estimate, stayed in touch for scheduling, made my floors like amazing, and followed up afterwards. Highly recommended.

GB flooring did a wonderful job installing wood floors in our living room. We appreciate their attention to detail and professional manner. It was great to be able to see stain samples on the floors to select the final color. Would definitely hire them again. Very pleasant to work with.

The Oak hardwood floor was installed 6/2019. The floor boards were observed served to be separating in February 2020. The gapping was so significant in areas that two nickels could be placed side by side in the gaps. We called the company who installed them to inquire and was told this happens in Winter as the result of low humidity & that the gapping is present even in their own floors. I hired a HVAC guy to install a built in humidifier on my furnace. This did not remediate the gapping. I waited until summer, since that is when the humidity is most abundant & still the floors did not return to normal. I hired TWO certified flooring inspectors. BOTH determined the gapping to be a result of installation error (nails too far apart for these wide planks.) GB flooring will not admit fault, nor fix my floor.

Response from GB Hardwood Flooring, Inc.
Hi [Member Name Removed], We were sorry to hear that this happened to your floor. The wood fibers in hardwood floors swell as they absorb moisture and shrink as they release moisture. In wider floorboards, such as the ones installed in your home, this expanding and contracting is much more obvious than in smaller floorboards. That's why it's very important to have a working humidifier and properly regulate the humidity in our homes during cold winter months when the heat is turned on. Unfortunately, by the time you noticed the separating in your floor and installed a humidifier in February, the damage had already been done and no amount of humidity would be able to repair the gaps. We assure you that this was not an installation error and was caused by the moisture in your home not being properly regulated during the wintertime which unfortunately is not something we can control. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.

I hired GB Hardwood to replace our old (maybe even original) floors in our 100-year-old+ condo. I could not have been happier. The finished product looks and feels amazing. What really set GB apart was the level of service. Given the age of the building, I was concerned there would be surprises once the flooring was removed that increased costs and extended the timeline. Nonetheless, we went away for a week while the work was ongoing, half-expecting to return to a half-finished job and a home in disarray. Instead, GB finished early, they addressed all surprise issues promptly and without extra charges, and our home looked great when we returned. George communicated with us throughout the process and promptly answered all questions. GB also had better pricing than alternatives I considered. If I ever needed floor work done again, I would contact GB and GB alone.

I was very happy with the whole experience of having my floors done. I love how beautiful the floors are. I am thankful I found GB Hardwood Flooring. They communicated with me and arrived at the time indicated or called to let me know if there were changes. I had a few ideas that complicated the project, like installing a crawlspace door in the center of the kitchen. They listened to me explain and gave me a few ideas as to how it could be done. They did an amazing job. The crawlspace door is almost invisible. One bedroom had black tile glued to the wood underneath. They took several hours to get the glue off and it looks the same as all the rest of the floors. Half of our front room is new wood and the other half is restored, but there is no difference. It all looks brand new. The workers were friendly, helpful, courteous, and very knowledgeable. I would totally recommend them to family and friends without reservation. I am very thankful I found them. The floors make a huge difference in the house. Their knowledge and advice were very helpful.

Excellent all around. We were working on a time crunch and George made sure the floors were done before our furniture arrived. We compared others and the price was great. The floors are perfect. The edges are so neat, the corners precise and the color is great. We love our new floors! Thanks George and Benjamin!

Gorge and Ben helped to install the prefinished hardwood floor I purchased from a big box store on discount. The project went really well from the beginning to the end. George and Ben are both very polite and hardworking young men. They provided the best quote for the job, showed up on time every day, and completed the job in 3 days with quality as promised. I really appreciate them keeping my house clean during the job and hauling away all the carpets, debris and floor packaging boxes after they are done. I couldn't be happier for hiring them for the job and knowing them as well.

Benjamin and George are fantastic. They are very trustworthy, reliable, and always deliver top quality results. They did our basement vinyl flooring this time and it’s absolutely fantastic, and our upstairs hardwood is also perfection thanks to them from prior work. Do not hesitate to hire these guys. You would be very lucky to get them to work on your flooring projects.

We were so impressed with the quality workmanship of George and Ben. We had a very large area of oak flooring to refinish and it turned out beautifully. Such hard working professionals who took a lot of pride in their work. We feel like we made two new friends. Their pricing was very reasonable. We highly recommend.

These guys are great!!! They are honest, hard working, and passionate about flooring. We emailed them and George came out to see us the next day and two days after that fixed the flooring in the house we’re moving into. They were conscientious about matching the color, they didn’t try to oversell us—they just fixed what needed to be fixed. They did a beautiful job. We can’t wait to have them back to replace carpeting with wood flooring in our new house when we’re ready! Please give these guys your business. Five stars!

We hired GB Flooring to refinish about 700 sq. ft. of existing oak flooring and install 800 sq. ft. of new oak flooring across three levels in a townhome we purchased in Evanston. One dreams of every person they work with being as professional and skilled and George - seriously, his work was first-rate as is his manner was fantastic. Communication was perfect. Our floors look AMAZING and at a cost that was very reasonable. He and his brother take pride in their work and it shows.

The work was completed ahead of schedule and was done in a professional workmanship manner. The floors look Great and the team was a pleasure to deal with. They kept us informed on each step of the process from delivery of the floor material, removal of furniture, the floor installation, sanding, and sealing, and moving furniture back into it place. A good company to deal with and I would recommend them to others.

I was expecting this to be a stressful, difficult experience. I am so happy to report that even though we moved all of our furniture and furnishings, things went so well and so smoothly that I am writing this review! Finishing the floors is always the easy part but George and Benjamin made sure that moving the furniture and covering it properly was just as easy. I left on Tuesday, came back on Thursday and I had beautiful new floors and all my furniture (except area rugs because they can't go back for a month) was back in place. I highly recommend GB Hardwood Flooring if you have items that are precious to you, expensive and simply need the floors below them to be refinished.

The GB team did a great job with their work from the prep work to getting to the finished product. They were excellent about helping us choose the color of the floor, putting together some standard colors and then mixing a couple of them to get the custom color that turned out to be the perfect choice. The team they brought in were really easy to work with and very professional about how they handled the whole project which ended up being about 2,00 sq. ft of new flooring. They were so good that they just did a similar size job for our friends and it too looks great. No doubt about having them do a job for you.
