Wood floor refinishing: reccos?

Im looking to have 3 rooms (approx 600 sq feet) in an older building in prospect heights sanded, stained and refinished. I'm looking for honest and reliable tradesmen with good examples and references. Who would you suggest I contact?

Thanks

They've been around for a long time and they do a great job at a resonable price. They are located in the cobble hill/brooklyn heights area on Atlantic ave.

1:49- Those seem to be just the shapes, not the design of the townhouses. There is an earlier post that shows more detail. Im pretty sure they are basic brick townhouses. I guess that its in order to highlight the changes to the historic building or somehow differentiate the project's phases.

TOTO has one of the funniest, creepiest websites ever for its washlet toilet: http://www.cleanishappy.com

Second the recommendation for Make a Frame on Atlantic. We've had several things framed by them, they do an excellent job and are super nice and helpful.

Frame Me on 3rd Avenue Between 91 Street and 90th Street in Bay Ridge. She does very good work, and her prices are fair.

These are decent if you are looking to do something really cheap like a poster. They only offer plexiglass:

For a more high end choice (when you have original art that needs a really good aesthetic eye, and an understanding of how best to protect the art) check out Prints Charming run by Darren Von Stein. The store moved a year ago to 4th St nr the corner of 5th Ave. Darren isn't inexpensive but he's damn good.
