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.

As a woodworker I recognize a quality product. Russ was able to meet a tight schedule and his finished product was very good. There was also fire damage where maple boards had to be removed and replaced. The repair is invisible. I’d happily recommend RI.

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.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
