Acorn Wood Floors

I have previously had very favourable experiences in hiring contractors from HomeStars for work on my old house, and so contacted Acorn because they were "Best of the Best 2023" in the floor laying and refinishing category. I had previously been told by others in the flooring business that my wood floors were not salvageable, and would need to be replaced. As Acorn did both refinishing and replacement I thought it would be useful to have their opinion on the repair vs. replacement front.
Owner Ron came out and spent a couple of hours or more at my house conducting his assessment. He was obviously very knowledgeable about wood floor refinishing and replacement, as well as thorough, professional and engaging. Unlike others who had seen my floors, he assured me they were restorable, and told me why I should refinish them as opposed to replacing them (today you cannot replicate the quality of old growth fir boards, in their thickness, clarity and length). But as I had initially expressed an interest in replacing the floors, he promised me an estimate for both refinishing the existing floors and replacing the fir with red oak.
I have never received a more detailed written set of estimates from any contractor, and both the refinishing and replacement quotes seemed to me to be very reasonable. Honest is another word I'd use to describe Ron. What kind of businessman tries to talk you out of the more expensive job -- in this case the replacement one?
I decided to take Ron's advice and refinish the floors. He personally attended to the repair of the boards that needed to be done prior to the refinishing. And he accommodated me by arranging to have his refinishing crew do one side of the house one week, and the other side of the house the week following, in order to minimize the disruption associated with moving furniture. I have had to put up with a lot of drywall dust over the years that is associated with drywall work, and was not looking forward to dealing with wood dust from sanding, but it was negligible.
Ron remained accessible by phone during the job and returned after the refinishing work was complete in order to finish a few "unfinished symphonies" in my house that I had neglected over the years -- replacement of the backdoor threshold, trim around the fireplace hearth, etc. All greatly appreciated.
I am very pleased with my warm rejuvenated wood flooring result, which respects and honours the character of the original flooring of my old house.
Sandra, Ron's partner office manager, also warrants special mention for effectively processing the paper work involved in the job, keeping me in the loop around the project scheduling, answering my questions, and being unfailingly polite and friendly throughout.
In my experience, often the best trades work is done by an attentive small business, rather than the big players. Acorn is one of those small businesses, and as they have earned my trust, I will be having them return to do further work in the future.

We love our sanding and coating project done to our 30 years old wood floor with Acorn. Ron was great in communication and profesional opinion. The team finished the work in 2 days. You can not go wrong with this.

It might sound like a cliche to say that the flooring that Acorn Wood Floors put in our house really made it 'pop' but honestly, the combination of their advice of a well-suited flooring choice for our home and the high quality of the flooring installation was truly amazing and raised the appearance of our home's interiors to a whole new level. Thank you again to Ron and his team for the amazing work!

Im an older widow & was very worried about having to hire someone to either repair or replace my main floor wood floors that were disintegrating. I had spoken with several contractors about what to do about my wood floors when I finally spoke with Ron. He was the most knowledgeable & described the ins & outs between repairing or replacing the wood & the difference in costs. I decided to have the floors replaced & am so glad I did. Rons sons did a lot of the work and they were great. Anytime I had a question they took the time to explain things to me. I felt very comfortable having them around. I absolutely love how the floors turned out! They look fantastic! I also had the cracked ceramic floor in my laundry room replaced with vinyl tiles & it turned out great as well. Unless you felt them youd never know they werent real slate. Im so glad I decided to give the job to Ron. They did a wonderful job & I cant thank them enough. I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking to get their floors done. You made one old lady very happy!!

During our reno we had an oak manufactured floor installed and it squeaked badly. We had been living in our trailer for 9 months and decided to live with it even though the installer agreed to redo it. Cabinets, Island, and trim had all been installed on top of it and it meant a patch-up look to the redo. After 11 years we had had enough and chanced upon Acorn. They re-nailed and drilled and injected glue under the floor and into the joints. It doesn't show and it Worked! Thanks

Acorn did an amazing job repairing and refinishing the parquet floors in our condo! They were friendly, easy to communicate with, and did a stunning job! Would highly recommend!

We recently had our hardwood floors refinished by Acorn Wood Floors.
The crew arrived on time, were very professional, friendly and helpful and got the job done more quickly than we originally thought. We are very pleased with the workmanship and the final look of the floors. Ron and Sandy were wonderful to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acorn Wood Floors to anyone needing this service.

This project was seamless from start to finish. Sandy helped us choose the perfect product for our project. Ron and his crew were excellent on the installation, with Ron adding a log cabin corner at the direction change in the hallway and a framed-in detail around the fireplace. His room connecting transitions are perfect. The baseboards were carefully removed and put back. The crew cleaned up at the end of every day and the project was completed within the time frame given. We highly recommend this family run flooring company.

Acorn did an amazing job patching our 100 year old hardwood floor. There were several fairly large areas that had no floor and they did such a nice job you can't even tell where the gaps were. They also sourced aged wood for the repairs so the color match was perfect.

I cant say enough about Ron from Acorn, I had another company come out and install flooring and it was a nightmare, its only been a year and the joints of the flooring were broken and one even completely cracked, Ron came out and managed to replace the worst area, you can sure tell the difference in the workmanship. and the Clean up was like he was never here.
Thank you Ron for the work, Wish I had used you in the beginning.
