I have used Sohm Flooring twice with great results. Glenn is a one man operation and he is a bit of a perfectionist so it always took a day or two longer than expected but I have always been happy.

I have used Sohm Flooring twice and recommended him here before. I had trouble getting any of the small contractors in Brooklyn to come and give me an estimate and found Sohm on Staten Island. Glenn does great work and uses all waterborne products. Both projects went a day or two over in time.

I did the same thing. I did half of my floors and then a few weeks later when I finished the work in the other half I did the rest of the floors. I used Sohm Flooring which is a one man operation and he uses only water based products. I would come home at night and the smell was never overwhelming so it is definitely possible to stay in the apartment. Call Glenn - (718)273-2217

I have white oak floors as well and went with their natural color(s). The nice thing about the water-based products is that they don't get darker with age like oil does. My walls are all painted grey and I think that if I hadn't gone with the natural look on the floors the grey would have been too bland.

I have recommended Glenn Sohm a few times on the Forums:

Truther - looks like you pissed off Quest. Maybe he gets his name based on his love of question marks.

Are you people serious? " I think anonymous commenting should be eliminated." How are you going to do that? It is the internet; we are all anonymous. Do you think my name is really Pipecock?
