We can't recommend Joe and his team highly enough! Joe communicated with us every step of the way, paid attention to every detail, and went above and beyond to repair our historic floors. He really understood and stayed true to our vision, and his work truly transformed our house. If you're considering Joe for your floors, you won't regret it.

Had my kitchen floor refinished and they did a great job. Not only were they very patient and friendly, could not find not an ounce of dust once finished. Plus the floors look great. If your are still deciding on who to use, look no further. Highly recommend them.

Had a great time working with Joe and his team to replace the first floor and stair treads with oak wood and level some areas. His team also refinished the second floor bamboo. His team was quick, extremely communicative, and most importantly did a fantastic job. Hope to work with him on the third floor some time!

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 was very informative and open about the process and the pricing. He explained my options, his work methods, what material he could use and what to expect when finished. He came back later to show me how to repair scratches and answered all my questions.

Joe Hudson and his team did a great job refreshing our wide plank pine floors, a combination of light sanding, repair, staining, and polyurethane. We really appreciated how they worked to meet our specific needs to refresh the pine floor within our budget. Great group of people to work with!

Joe and his team are great to deal with. Very communicative and helpful throughout the process. They did great work and my floors look fantastic. Most importantly though, Joe treats your floors like they are his floors. Can't ask for much more than that.

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!
