Flawless from beginning to end
Significant renovations began the day after we moved into our 170-year-old home on Lake Ontario this fall. High on our list of To Dos was restoration of the original wide plank heart pine floors in the principal rooms, including in the dining room where newer hardwood had been laid on top. Our search for a specialist with extensive experience with and regard for historic properties led us to NewRidge. Great communication from the beginning: they were responsive to our questions and concerns and a comprehensive quote was delivered quickly. They did test strips to help us choose the floor colour, which we ultimately decided to change from orangey gold to a gorgeous grey.
Having floors refinished is necessarily one of the most disruptive reno projects because of the need to remove all furniture and stay off the floors for hours at a time during each of the several stages. We only did the main floor in this phase 1 and were living in the house throughout construction.
Duc worked cooperatively with our other trades to coordinate and was considerate in scheduling his visits to minimize our required absences.
Every time I was offsite and texted him a question, Duc would respond literally within seconds.
That he and his team are also great guys was a bonus.
The floors are beautiful. Duc came back Christmas week to do the finishing touch - install custom-made and stained reducer strips between the kitchen tile and the dining room hardwood.
When it's time for Phase 2 - the upstairs floors - we'll be calling NewRidge again.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $6,000.00

Thank you Claire for taking the time to write a detailed review to share with everyone your experience from beginning to end. It was a pleasure for Duc, myself and all his team to work with you as well. Please do keep us in mind for future projects and pass our name along to any family and friends looking to refresh or upgrade their floor and/or stairs. Happy Holidays to you and your family!!
Warmest Regards,
Scott
