Geovane and his crew were great. These were very old, worn and discolored wood floors that now look fabulous. The place was thoroughly cleaned afterwards. Pricing was more than reasonable. And, without complaint, Geovane accommodated our rush and constantly changing deadline. Highly recommend.

Geovane and his crew were amazing and very timely in getting our new floors into our condo. They worked around our schedules and were very accommodating even helping us move our furniture around to make everything work. The floors are beautiful and Geovane has gone above and beyond to make sure everything meets our expectations even after completion.
