We called Hudson Hardwood to help with the original wood floors in a 100-year old home. Joe was very responsive and helped us decide upon the best plan - refinishing the lower level and buffing & coating the uppr level. The team was quick, efficient and professional.

We’ve now used Hudson Hardwood Floors for two projects. Several years ago, Joe and his team installed new hardwood floors in our Center City condo. More recently, they refinished the 80-year-old hardwood floors in our Wyndmoor home. We couldn’t be happier. The entire process was great, and the end result is gorgeous!
