I have heard many mentions of this company. We are looking to have some pretty major flooring done. Sanding/staining – replacing mis-matched wood/design left by previous owner…
Could I get some more specific feed back from those of you that have worked with Varrazano? Good and Bad. Thank you!

  1. I have used Verrazano twice. I agree with the poster who says that the crew is what determines quality. Both times I have used them for refinishing a floor in a rental apartment (I own a three family) and the actual job has been fine. I don’t think that I would use them in my own part of the house as there does not seem to be much quality control. You are left inspecting the job yourself.

    V also is like a utility company. I had to take off work twice last week for them to come do the tenant’s floor. Both times V promised to be on site within a two hour window in the morning. Both times they came at the end of the day, causing me considerable anxiety as the job had to be done in three day window before the new tenant moved in.

  2. IB – this is for a co-op we own so while I would NEVER say that cost is not a factor – the most important thing would be quality and life cycle of the work. We would not want to have to do additional work (unless we caused damage ourselves) down the road when we went to sell.

  3. I usually use really cheap Chinese guys for my rentals. The do a passable job only charge $1.25 per square foot. Go down to Chinatown and ask around. . .

  4. We use Franklin Hardwoods for my company’s floor work. They do absolutely top quality work at reasonable prices. They are based in CT but do all of our Brooklyn and Manhattan projects. Ask for Drew and tell him Tim at Think Construction recommended him.

  5. They worked on mom’s floors who is elderly and also did a half ass job. I think they thought since she’s elderly she would not complain. They only did one coat of poly which came off within 1 year in areas of high traffic. I would try Carlos Wood Floors, I’ve used them several times – most recently at an investment property in NJ. His number is 646-281-2659, tell him Allan recommended him.

  6. BTW — “poly bubbled and peeled” has nothing to do with the company that did the screen and poly job.

    It has all to do with applying poly to a floor that was previously waxed!

  7. Agree with zb. Once they installed bamboo flooring, quick, priced reasonably and clean job. Refinishing tenant’s apt was also good price, but held up very badly.
