What We Do
One Crew. Every Flooring Need.
From sanding and refinishing to complete custom staircase builds — including the services most Rhode Island flooring companies simply don't offer.
Sand & Refinish
Strip away years of wear and bring back the natural beauty of your wood — with waterbase, oil base, and every commercial finish on the market.
Custom Stain Colors
A full spectrum of custom stains, matched to your home, your furniture, and your vision. We sample until it's perfect.
Hardwood Installation
We sell AND install hardwood and engineered wood — one point of contact, total accountability, zero finger-pointing.
Vinyl & Tile
LVT, luxury vinyl plank, ceramic and porcelain tile — durable, waterproof, and beautiful for kitchens, baths, and high-traffic rooms.
Custom Staircases
Our signature service. Designed and built start to finish — the centerpiece of your home that most competitors can't deliver.
Repairs
Squeaks, water damage, gaps, worn finishes — we diagnose the real problem and fix it right, blending seamlessly with your floor.

Preserving Original Floors Through Selective Replacement
The customer expected a full replacement. We preserved the original heart pine, replaced only the kitchen section with new 2¼" white oak, and refinished the whole house as one — staircase included.

Killingly, CT
Water & Sun Damage Hardwood Restoration
Severe water and UV damage restored at a Connecticut lakefront cabin — sanding, flattening, water-popping, custom staining to a deep rich brown, and a LOBA 2K Supra A.T. ceramic-reinforced satin finish.

Our Process
How We Work
A proven process built over 30+ years. No shortcuts. No guesswork.
Free Consultation
Jayson personally visits your home, inspects your floors, and walks you through every option — no pressure, no jargon, no obligation.
Honest Estimate
You get a transparent, itemized quote. No hidden fees. No surprises. Every project is priced individually — never a one-size-fits-all number.
Materials First
We never schedule your start date until every material is in hand and inspected. No delays, no excuses, no showing up unprepared.
Expert Execution
The owner is on-site for every job. We follow NWFA guidelines and use professional-grade LOBA finishes — the same products trusted in commercial settings.
Final Walkthrough
We walk every inch with you. If it's not perfect, we make it perfect — backed by our 2-year labor warranty.
What Others Cannot Do
Custom Staircases.
Built From Scratch.
Most flooring companies do not touch staircases. We design and build them from the ground up — custom treads, risers, railings, and newel posts. It is our most complex service and our biggest differentiator.
Every staircase is unique to your home. We match your existing floors, your style, and your vision. From concept to completion, Jayson handles every detail.
