We did not obtain quotes from any other contractor. Instead, we chose Stewart because he came highly recommended here on the board AND because his specialty is only floors. With more than 20 years of experience, we figured he knew what he was doing. We had him put down hardwood in our bedroom and hallway. We were not disappointed -- the job is fantastic. The new sub floor he laid first is extremely stable and solid. His meticulous attention to detail means the wood grains and colours are matched and the doorways are almost invisibly sealed. We like his work so much, we asked him to come back and turn our carpeted stairs into custom oak. Highly highly recommend Stewart.
