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. Our floors look brand new! First photo os bnefore; second is after.

Joe and his team did a great job refinishing our hardwood floors. He was extremely responsive, and he was able to get the job done given our short timeline (which was even around the Thanksgiving holiday!) Would definitely recommend Hudson Hardwoods to anyone.

Joe and his team did an absolutely incredible job refinishing my old red oak wood floors to more closely match new white oak wood floors in a different part of the house. They were so quick and efficient and so clean! Our house was completely spotless. I am so happy with how my floors turned out.

Joe and his crew are so nice and easy to get a hold of. We had white oak installed in our entire house and it looks fantastic.

Hudson Hardwood did a good job of repairing and refinishing my wood floors. Joe was very responsive before and after the work was done. In particular, he addressed an issue I raised even after I had paid in full. He is all about service.

We bought a new house with ugly carpet over linoleum. We didn’t want to live with that and wanted hardwoods ASAP before moving in! Joe Hudson was quick to give ballpark pricing, responsive to come take a look at the place, shared his honest opinions about linoleum (just install over it!), and was the only vendor we…

Joe has the best communication skills I have ever come across within the past 30 years dealing with contractors.

He sent 6 men to work on it during the first day and…

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!
