Acorn Wood Floors

After water damage from ceiling leak we needed to repair a portion of our floor and had only old boards from another condo rip out. Ron remade the bad boards and did an amazing job fixing the floor. We also did a Reno and he custom made a solid moulding to match the floor for between two rooms. Was perfect! A true artist in flooring.

Ron installed our floors 24 years ago and we were happy to have him back to refinish them. The cost was as stated per the quote. The work was performed in a timely and professional manner. Ron is always available for in home consultations and is very pleasant to deal with. He has extensive knowledge of his industry. I have dealt with Ron on several other projects over the years and will continue to do so.

Ron is a master flooring craftsman. I came to that opinion from working with him on my new floor. Dedicated, thorough, and passionate about flooring done right. He has a lifetime experience of flooring work that enable him to make very high quality flooring. The down side is that quality work takes time and that definitely applies to Ron and his crew. So scheduling requires patience and flexibility for the job to be completed. Still, I am very happy with his work.

Our old fir floors needed a makeover. Ron and his crew were on time and on budget. Would happily recommend to anyone needing a fresh look.

We hired Acorn to refinish our wood floors add fix an area that had warped. They were very knowledgable, efficient and everything was on budget. I would highly recommend this company.

I have previously had very favourable experiences in hiring contractors from HomeStars for work on my old house, and so contacted Acorn because they were "Best of the Best 2023" in the floor laying and refinishing category. I had previously been told by others in the flooring business that my wood floors were not salvageable, and would need to be replaced. As Acorn did both refinishing and replacement I thought it would be useful to have their opinion on the repair vs. replacement front.
Owner Ron came out and spent a couple of hours or more at my house conducting his assessment. He was obviously very knowledgeable about wood floor refinishing and replacement, as well as thorough, professional and engaging. Unlike others who had seen my floors, he assured me they were restorable, and told me why I should refinish them as opposed to replacing them (today you cannot replicate the quality of old growth fir boards, in their thickness, clarity and length). But as I had initially expressed an interest in replacing the floors, he promised me an estimate for both refinishing the existing floors and replacing the fir with red oak.
I have never received a more detailed written set of estimates from any contractor, and both the refinishing and replacement quotes seemed to me to be very reasonable. Honest is another word I'd use to describe Ron. What kind of businessman tries to talk you out of the more expensive job -- in this case the replacement one?
I decided to take Ron's advice and refinish the floors. He personally attended to the repair of the boards that needed to be done prior to the refinishing. And he accommodated me by arranging to have his refinishing crew do one side of the house one week, and the other side of the house the week following, in order to minimize the disruption associated with moving furniture. I have had to put up with a lot of drywall dust over the years that is associated with drywall work, and was not looking forward to dealing with wood dust from sanding, but it was negligible.
Ron remained accessible by phone during the job and returned after the refinishing work was complete in order to finish a few "unfinished symphonies" in my house that I had neglected over the years -- replacement of the backdoor threshold, trim around the fireplace hearth, etc. All greatly appreciated.
I am very pleased with my warm rejuvenated wood flooring result, which respects and honours the character of the original flooring of my old house.
Sandra, Ron's partner office manager, also warrants special mention for effectively processing the paper work involved in the job, keeping me in the loop around the project scheduling, answering my questions, and being unfailingly polite and friendly throughout.
In my experience, often the best trades work is done by an attentive small business, rather than the big players. Acorn is one of those small businesses, and as they have earned my trust, I will be having them return to do further work in the future.

We love our sanding and coating project done to our 30 years old wood floor with Acorn. Ron was great in communication and profesional opinion. The team finished the work in 2 days. You can not go wrong with this.

It might sound like a cliche to say that the flooring that Acorn Wood Floors put in our house really made it 'pop' but honestly, the combination of their advice of a well-suited flooring choice for our home and the high quality of the flooring installation was truly amazing and raised the appearance of our home's interiors to a whole new level. Thank you again to Ron and his team for the amazing work!

Im an older widow & was very worried about having to hire someone to either repair or replace my main floor wood floors that were disintegrating. I had spoken with several contractors about what to do about my wood floors when I finally spoke with Ron. He was the most knowledgeable & described the ins & outs between repairing or replacing the wood & the difference in costs. I decided to have the floors replaced & am so glad I did. Rons sons did a lot of the work and they were great. Anytime I had a question they took the time to explain things to me. I felt very comfortable having them around. I absolutely love how the floors turned out! They look fantastic! I also had the cracked ceramic floor in my laundry room replaced with vinyl tiles & it turned out great as well. Unless you felt them youd never know they werent real slate. Im so glad I decided to give the job to Ron. They did a wonderful job & I cant thank them enough. I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking to get their floors done. You made one old lady very happy!!

During our reno we had an oak manufactured floor installed and it squeaked badly. We had been living in our trailer for 9 months and decided to live with it even though the installer agreed to redo it. Cabinets, Island, and trim had all been installed on top of it and it meant a patch-up look to the redo. After 11 years we had had enough and chanced upon Acorn. They re-nailed and drilled and injected glue under the floor and into the joints. It doesn't show and it Worked! Thanks
