Marijke Schuurman

We had an excellent experience with Duffy Floors. Chris Potts, the owner, and his team restored our old hardwood floors beautifully. They were clear about expectations, kept us updated throughout, and their pricing was fair. The carpenter went above and beyond, making seamless repairs. Highly recommend!

I used Duffy floors to finish my new kitchen white oak 4” plank floor and adjacent existing white oak 2 1/4” floor. President Chris Potts reviewed the proposed finishes and did a mockup for me to review. Their team did a fabulous job in matching the two rooms, with great workmanship, and excellent quality in a very professional manner. They met the schedule, and many have complimented the finish and quality by Duffy Floors. Chris and his team go over and beyond for good quality flooring. I highly recommend their company and team. As an architect I am very particular about quality work, and this company does superb work. Thank you Chris and team !!! Anne Tansantisuk AIA, NCARB, LEEDAP

Stephanie Simione

We recently had damage done to our brand-new floors by a previous company who left behind paint marks and scratches—and then refused to fix it. Thankfully, Chris at Duffy Floors stepped in and completely turned the situation around. From start to finish, the team was incredibly kind, professional, and reassuring. They carefully removed all the paint and flawlessly repaired the scratches, leaving our floors looking truly brand new again. We’re so grateful for their help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Duffy Floors to anyone needing flooring repairs or installation.
