Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise clear communication and careful work; one guest-room refinish was completed the day after a quote was accepted. A different customer later reported that an installation left floors noticeably uneven in multiple places because the team did not address subfloor unevenness raised before work began. That customer says the crew fixed smaller flaws the day after installation, though the later update says the floors were still noticeably uneven in multiple places.

I just had Buono’s Flooring refinish a guest bedroom and couldn’t be happier. The crew that came was professional, fast and did an excellent job. I got my quote, accepted it and then the next day my floor was taken care of. Highly recommend this company!!!

I can’t say enough about this flooring company!! I had to have my dining room and living room floors refinished after many years and was very nervous about it. After speaking with the owner Lou he assured me his team would do an amazing job and that is exactly what they did. They were very quick and efficient and my floors turned out better than I imagined. So far, I have received a ton of compliments on my floors from family members. I would highly recommend BUONO’s Flooring!

Buono's Flooring Company is the best! Starting with the first phone call with Lou Buono the owner and continued throughout the entire process. Lou offered a rough estimate over the phone and when his inspector came to the site the estimate was spot on. The workers took so much care with their work, no complaining, no radio music, just work work work. They literally picked up the flooring because it wouldn't be delivered on time and that was not in their contract. The installers were interested in the details and took the time to make sure we were happy with all their work.The floors look amazing and I highly recommend this flooring company. This was an excellent experience!

EDIT: Following up, as I've noticed in the time since my original review that there are some non-trivial issues with the installation, mainly that they did nothing to address subfloor unevenness and now my floors are also noticeably uneven in multiple places. This is particularly upsetting because I'd called out in my messages to the team that this was something I noticed in my old floors that I wanted fixed as part of the installation. It's also not something that would be fixed by having the floors refinished. Ultimately I thought the communication was great, but the quality wasn't totally consistent. ----------- Highly recommend choosing Buono's for your flooring installation. I ordered my own flooring, and the Buono's team did the installation and guided me through the steps from purchase to install. Communication & scheduling: Jeannette was extremely helpful throughout; I reached out for an estimate in January and the team just finished the install (four months later, on my preferred timeline). Over that time, our email thread accumulated >90 messages. Jeannette patiently answered all of my questions and laid out the process very clearly for me. She provided all of the details I needed from Buono's to meet my co-op's requirements. Scheduling was easy and I never felt like the team dropped the ball, which was especially appreciated as the date approached and I was trying to coordinate the timing of my separate flooring order with the installation date. The work: I am so pleased with how the floors turned out. My space is about 210 sq ft and had some very tricky/tight spots, but they managed without issues and completed the work in 2 days. The transitions – especially around the fireplace – looked just beautiful (and I wouldn't have even thought to buy those if it weren't for the Buono's team). There were a couple small flaws I noticed after the installation, and Buono's sent someone the next day to take a look and he fixed the issues on the spot. I'm always wary about being gaslit or asked to pay up for "extra" work, so I was really glad to find that Buono's handled those small fixes with kindness and efficiency and without trying to negotiate. The price: I compared Buono's quote with a couple other contractors and found their pricing to be competitive. The clear communication made them an even more appealing choice, and I'm glad I ultimately went with them. All in all, highly recommend Buono's for excellent flooring!

Frequently Asked Questions

What warranty does Buono's Flooring offer?

The company states that newly sanded and refinished floors have a seven-year limited warranty, and installations have a one-year guarantee.

Can the team prepare concrete subfloors?

For concrete subfloors, the company can install moisture barriers and discuss self-leveling underlayment to create an even surface.

Are there sound-control options for co-ops and condos?

The company offers sound-barrier underlayments designed to add sound insulation and help meet building, co-op, and condo requirements.

Does Buono's work with insurance companies?

The company says it has experience with claims and work justification and can serve as a point of communication between unit owners and insurance representatives during flooring work.

How does screen-and-coat differ from sanding and refinishing?

A screen and coat lightly abrades the existing finish to remove minor surface scratches and embedded dirt before adding a fresh finish. Full sanding removes the existing finish down to bare wood before a new finish is applied.
