 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to compliment  you on your firm’s recent service for us.
As an example, your specialists were helpful in dealing with  our old carpets. When the old carpet along the corridor was removed, though the floor was concrete, there were a lot of old materials and also wires to be removed and a thorough preparation had to be done before laying the parquet flooring. Two, sometimes, three very helpful specialists from your firm - or associated with  you - worked energetically to sort out the problem and  implement the client’ s (i.e. our) wishes and preferences.   Their guidance as regards the maintenance of the wood flooring was very helpful.

We are satisfied with the result and we will be pleased to recommend Luxury Wood Flooring to potential clients.

Excellent service from start to finish. Meticulous and punctual work - the team finished one day earlier and cleaned after themselves. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luxury Wood Flooring were our Christmas saviors! Our previous contractor failed to sand and varnish our floors properly, leaving us in a tough spot just before the holidays. We needed someone to redo everything and finish by Christmas. Steven and his team did an amazing job restoring our wooden floors, completing the work on time, and leaving the premises spotless. We’re really pleased with the results and their professional approach.

A great experience with Luxury Wood Flooring - from the initial quoting and advisory service - to the meeting in the showroom and then installation. Really happy with the end product the room looks so much better - and the installation was done within 3 days. Would highly recommend.
