Max truly the best. I've done my own floors but nothing compares to max. Every detail wa added to make my home perfect. The floors look amazing. Max is an expert at what he does. He did all my floors, or else I'd have him come do more, lol. My next home he'll be back doing it again! Max, you are amazing at what you do. Better than all the rest, and very fair prices! Great personality and very trustworthy. Thank you again Maxim! Top Notch! Very skilled!

We did a complete main floor Reno including the kitchen, bathroom, demolition and all floors. When we discussed replacing our hardwood floors, Max came highly recommended from our contractor. Max is truly a master of his craft. He obviously enjoys what he does and has a lot of pride in his work. His precision and attention to detail resulted in a beautiful new floor throughout our home. After the main floor Reno was complete, we asked Max to come back and replace our stairway. He replaced and finished everything including the handrails and balusters. A couple of months later, a guest dropped a heavy object on our new floor and caused some damage. We called Max to ask his advice, he said he would pop in next time he was in our neighborhood. A short while later, he visited us and repaired the damage at no cost. We plan on hiring Max again when we replace our 2nd floor hardwood. He was truly a pleasure to work with.

Just finished full reno and dealt with many contract workers. By far Max was the beys and is exceptional. Honest, punctual and does outstanding work. Meticulous and great value for money. Would highly recommend.

We are very happy we found Max on Homestars! Max did a terrific job installing Walnut hardwood plus new baseboard and window casing in 2 of our bedrooms; we are very happy NORD-OST customers. Max is now 'our hardwood installer'. Loved Max's attention to detail (before, during and after the job), questions (vs just 'doing' or 'guessing' as I've had with other tradespeople) and enthusiasm to follow up. Max is an engaged talented craftsman that you don't often encounter; my husband and I would recommend him to family and friends in a heartbeat.

We had bought Santos Mahogany hardwood flooring, treads and risers, and all the trim, and we were looking for an installer. When we invited Max over to give us an estimate, it was apparent from the conversation that he was knowledgable and experienced in hardwood flooring and stairs installation, as well as extremely detailed oriented. We are very happy with how the installation went: he's meticulous down to all the details (the transitions were made out of the hardwood flooring strips and they're exact and smooth, especially given all the differing heights of the floors in various rooms of our old house), he cleans up thoroughly, he is straightforward and courteous and asks questions instead of making assumptions, and he completed the job within an acceptable timeframe. We are very happy with the finished job and the price of his services. The only regret we have is that we didn't consult Max before purchasing some of the materials. We would highly recommend Max to anyone who needs hardwood or stairs installation services.

Hardwood flooring at its finest.

Max installed hardwood flooring on three landings, a corridor and living room, and stairs.

His work in unmatchable, we are so happy to have met Max. His knowledge of the job, hard work and punctuality are genuine.

The flooring I had purchased was not the greatest product to work with though Maxim made it work. With his knowledge and professionalism of the job he made our home look stunning.

It was sad to let him go at the end of the week, and hope we can one day find some more projects to give him.

Without a doubt, anytime a friend or family needs a referral for an installer I mention Max with absolute confidence.

Thank you Max.

There is not much more I can add about Max that was already said below. I will say this though: he is the best contractor I ever worked.

I called Max on a whim through a company that I never bought from/worked with but still they recommended him. I usually call about 3-4 contractors when I want work done in my house. Max? Right from the get-go, I could tell that he was the person I wanted to work with...he was the only person I called.

Luckily, my first impression/feeling about him turned out even more than I expected. He explained to me each step of the way (no pun intended) on what he was going to do to install the railings/spindles. As a do-it-yourselfer, I certainly learned a lot from him just observing his professionalism and craftsmanship. We also had some great conversations and he took the time to actually teach me some of his techniques. Everything was done on time and even below what I expected to pay (he wouldn't even take the extra money I was offering him!).

On top of this? He committed to doing the job at my house on a holiday weekend and on short notice. I mean, seriously, who does that?!?

Basically, from this point on, Max would be the first person I would recommend to anyone that is requiring the services he is capable of doing.

Every now and then, if you're really lucky, you find a contractor who is highly skilled, reasonably priced, hardworking, and a great person. That's Max at Nord-Ost. The great thing about Max is he'll help and advise you at every stage of the project, so you feel confident about the choices you're making. He's quite simply the best.

We had Max put down laminate flooring in the kitchen, dining room, front hall and bathroom. Max was very professional and you could tell he knew exactly what he was doing. He discussed the whole process with us before he started so we were aware of exactly what he was doing. .Max is a very hard worker and he did an excellent job on our floors. He was a pleasure to deal with . I recommend him highly.
