Boston Flooring Installers

" and his team renovated an old building in the South End. We bought one of the nine units from him this spring. We love our unit and they did a great job with it for the most part. However, we (and many of the other owners in our building) have been very frustrated with the corners has taken for repairs ...more and the turn around time for getting things done. Most recently, we discovered a leak in our walls (a result of

's team during building) and our wood floors had to be replaced and refinished. After explicitly asking

to make sure to talk with the floor people he hired to make sure that they covered and blocked off our apartment to protect it from dust as well as make sure they put the correct finish down, neither of these things were taken care of. Our apartment is in disarray now and filthy. Not to mention we have to go through it all over again because the wrong finish was put down.

hired the same sub-contractor that had put the wrong finish on our floors just before we bought our unit. We shouldn't have let him handle this and should have hired our own floor people but we made the mistake of trusting him. If you buy one of his homes just know that he does not live up to many of his promises and is very frustrating to work with."

"The experience was excellent; way better than we had anticipated. Things got done when we were told they would be and if we had any questions there was always somebody to explain. So, we were very pleased and satisfied when the job was completed in March 2007. Here's the best part about dealing with Sustainable. Thirteen months after the job was completed, ...more we had problems with some of the plumbing fixtures. With no hesitation and no questions asked, Sustainable sent the plumbing subcontractor back to fix/adjust the problems, with no cost to us. We consider

to have gone above and beyond what they "had to do" to make us happy, and we'd recommend them to anybody who wants to get the job done right."

" is efficient, fast and friendly. The day after we first called, they came out to see the job and explained the options we had for installation of ceramic tile over an existing plywood subfloor. The next day they e-mailed a price estimate for each option. A week later the job was finished. The new floor looks great and we are ...more completely satisfied with the work."

"They were prompt in giving an estimate and started doing the work the next day. They sanded and used a semi-gloss varnish in 5 rooms total, including the closets, front foyer and front hall closet. The whole job was complete in two days (1 day of sanding and the other for varnish). VERY nice results. The price was extremely fair for the job they did ...more and I can't tell you how happy we are with the way it turned out! The only issue was a small area of hallway that connects the two bedrooms and bathroom that was previously covered with horrible 1960s (or '70's?) linoleum. Originally they said they could remove it when we got the estimate, but the guys that showed up to do the work said they couldn't remove it, that they don't do that sort of thing and we would have to do it ourselves. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to do it and have to hire another company to finish the work."

" came over and I walked him through all my plans. He had immediate suggestions and ideas that I hadn't thought of myself and am going to include in my final designs. He also knew quite a bit about installing a new ceiling and insulation, the two topics that were most confusing to me at the time. He didn't charge anything for the ...more consultation, and is going to come over when I'm ready to install the insulation to help out (for that I'll play a completely reasonable hourly rate).

's a very nice guy, easy to talk to, and has a great deal of knowledge, and I'd highly recommend him to an aspiring handyman doing work on his own home."

"I would recommend this company and definitely plan to use their services again. Their workers were very professional and efficient and both of the rooms they carpeted look very nice. It was wonderful to find a company that charged a fair price and did not mind coming into Boston."

"They are also known as SCSI. They strive to minimize the effects of pollutants and toxins, which are present in many non-green materials. They did a wonderful job! We are very pleased with the result. They only had high quality contractors in to do the work that they did not do i.e., countertops, flooring, electrical, and plumbing. The wife of the owner ...more is a designer and picked the colors to complement and coordinate with the adjoining room. They were very responsive, answered the phone every time I called, and were on the project sight regularly."

"They returned my calls, and always got here on time. They worked quickly and they were very professional. They did what they said they were going to do in the time they said they would. Everything was within budget and schedule. They are very affordable, and I would recommend them to others."
