Response:
Hi Philip & Rosann,
Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know you are pleased. Let us know if we can help in any other way.
Thank you,
Manny
Hardwood Floors by Manny not only does a fantastic job. They are very friendly, professional and have
great customer service. I had a bathroom floor that had previous water damage that caused the
hardwood floors to buckle. Manny took his time to sand them even and he refinished the bathroom,
the kitchen. In addition, he installed new hardwood floors to the attached grate room that originally
had carpet. He seamlessly blended the two rooms. I highly recommend this company!
Sincerely
Charlotte Holloway | Frankfort, IL | June 2, 2020
The quality of workmanship was excellent. The matching of the color of the old and new flooring, to look like each other was an accomplishment of experience and know how. The laying of the parque was amazing. As a satisfied customer, I would truly recommend Hardwood Floors by Manny to anyone looking for quality workmanship. Thank you to all of your family for making my dream come true of beautiful floors.
- Theresa Morse | Bourbonnais, IL | May 21, 2020
Thank you both for the restoration of our hardwood floors! They look amazing! From the beginning to the end it was great working with you both. For anyone reading this deciding on who to use for your flooring,
use Hardwood Floors By Manny, LLC. Mary answered the phone or called back in a reasonable amount of time every time I called and she even called me two weeks in advance of the job to make sure we were
still on tract for the job. Manny did an amazing job restoring our hardwood floors. My wife and I just bought our first home that was in horrible condition and we were not sure if the floors could be saved, but Manny said he could do it. I cannot believe the hardwood floors in our house are the same hardwood that was in it when we bought it. Manny was on time, answered his phone, and made every inch of the floors look great. You can tell he wouldnt leave a job unless it was to his standards.
- Andrew and Kirsten Schneider | September 19, 2019
We are so happy that we chose you to put in our hardwood floors! You and your crew were very professional listening to our needs and respecting our home. If we had a question or concern you addressed it immediately going above and beyond in some cases to ensure that we were happy along the way. Your attention to detail was much appreciated. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you from the very beginning to the very end. Our floors are gorgeous, the staircase you polished looks new and the extra attention you gave our dining room left us speechless! Your passion for your work shines in the finished product. Thank you, thank you for installing our beautiful hardwood floors!!!
- Karen and Frank Dundek | July 5, 2019
The work by Manny was outstanding. It was our second time with them and once again he did not disappoint. You can't tell the floors were damaged and the finish is beautiful. Manny is a wood floor expert and better yet an artist. Also, he is genuinely a nice person. It was a pleasure working with Hardwood Floors by Manny.
- Bill James | June 18, 2019 | New Lenox, IL
Manny is an artist. He is a wealth of information, cares for his customers and has a talented crew working with him. I called about water damage to my maple floor, turns out it is red oak. Manny and his crew removed the bad section, double-checked for subfloor leaks, and replaced with identical wood. They sanded and prepped and sealed the entire area and now you cannot tell the new from the old. Clearly, Manny is an expert and engages with his customers as he works. It was amazing watching the team, asking nosy questions, and learning more about wood floors than I ever imagined. I was very curious as to the process and Manny's assessment of the initial cause of the damage matched my insurance adjusters claim. Manny is now the company I recommend to all my friends.
- Rhonda McLeod, NBCT, M. A. MCSE | June 11, 2019
Martha and I want to thank you for reviving and returning beauty to our oak floors. When we first showed you our floors, they were in extremely poor shape and we had considered replacing them all together. After you sanded and refinished them, they look like brand new floors.
What we found especially valuable was the coaching you provided prior to the job on how to prepare
our home for this type of work. It paid off. You also spent time explaining how to care for and preserve
hardwood floors, which was beyond what most consumers know. We were unaware of how some
popular “clean and shine” one-step products can actually damage hardwood floors.
Again, thanks for a job well done! We have shared your contact information with our friends and
neighbors.
- William and Martha Hellman | November 17, 2018 | Frankfort, Illinois
Just wanted you to know how pleased we are with our new hardwood floor! It looks beautiful. The
custom work on the steps and around the bay window turned out even better than we expected. We
appreciated that you listened to what we wanted and then made suggestions on how it could be done.
We also appreciated that you finished the job in a timely manner.
- Judy and Fritz Bartels | October 28, 2018 | Joliet, IL
Manny is extremely talented, competent, and a pleasure to work with. He is detail oriented, making sure
any problems or concerns he discovers are fixed, and is neat and sensitive to the customer's property.
Manny is friendly and responsive. He installed hardwood floors in our three bedrooms in 2014 and
laminate hardwood in our family room and entire lower level of our home last month.
- Brenda and Bruce Albers | October 12, 2018 | Bourbonnais, IL
Wow! Our floors are absolutely beautiful - we comment on them almost everyday and they have changed the appearance of our whole house.
Manny and his wife Mary are such a pleasure to deal with. Manny knows floors that's for sure and the guys he works with are so friendly and hard workers too. We would recommend them to anyone and already have.
- Pete and Gina Murany
Your service is fantastic from the first customer contact to job completion. Mary and Manny are a dynamite team!
Manny just left and all we can say is WOW, our kitchen floor is beautifully repaired! My husband put in all new stainless steel appliances in our kitchen, but when he put in the microwave over the range, he dropped a screw on the floor and when he went to push in our new range, the screw made a huge gouge in our hardwood floor. We were heartbroken. We called several local hardwood installers and did not get one call back. After living with the gouge for a year, we found an add in a local Frankfort paper for Manny. We contacted his company by email, we got a timely response, we set up a date to look at the floor, Manny gave us an estimate, and 3 days later, he fixed our floor. You cannot even tell a repair was made! Manny is an
artist of hardwood floors. He is also a very nice, reliable and honest tradesman. Thank you Manny!
- James and Lorie Kennealy | May 24, 2018
Now that we’re slowly putting our home back together, and we have furniture again, we have been sitting back and just enjoying the work you did for us. The newly installed hardwood in our formal dining and living rooms blends seamlessly with the prior flooring we previously had in place.
The new dark walnut color really helped update our home and give a new look along with the new doors and trim we installed. Your work on installing hardwood on our stairway and refinishing looks awesome. Now that it’s all done, I’m so happy we listened to your ideas and recommendations. It’s really hard to believe it’s the same home.
We obtained several estimates and what we really admired about you was evident from day 1 with your passion and knowledge about flooring. This passion and along with your professionalism and quality work was evident every day for our project. When we get ready to refinish additional rooms, I would not even consider having anyone but you perform the work.
Thank you again for doing such a great job and helping us transform our home.
- Rex and Lori Klomparens | April 11, 2018 | Peotone, IL
Our sincere thank you is long overdue. Thanks for bringing out the true beauty of our floors. Also for all the tips on keeping our floors looking great for years to come. Been using Bona and it truly keeps our floors shine. So glad we called. Will definitely be in touch in the future for additional projects.
- Dave and Patty Franks | Feb 18, 2018
Thank you for the beautiful job you did refinishing my floors. You paid attention to every detail from answering all of my questions and scheduling the job to the color and finish. The entire job went exactly as you said it would. You seemed to know exactly what color I was hoping to achieve. I am so glad that you answered your phone. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.
Thank you very much!
- Celeste Belke | September 13, 2017
We were so pleased with the work done by Manny. We had damage to our oak floors due to water and the whole house needed to be sanded down and refinished. Manny worked with our time frame and also got the job done ahead of schedule. The floor is absolutely beautiful!
- Jill Ball | September 7, 2017
Thank you so much for bringing our old floors back to life. After 20+ years, 3 kids, 4 dogs and a lot of traffic, our hardwood floors looked pretty beat up. We are very pleased with how beautifully they turned out. From the first phone call, to the consultation and through the completion of the job, we have enjoyed the friendly and professional service we received. A special shout out to Mary for her thoroughness and prompt response to my (many) questions. She is wonderful to work with. Again, thank you for the great service!
- Pat and Chris Bowden | July 18, 2017 | Peotone, IL
Initially, when you gave me your proposal to refinish / restore my engineered wood kitchen floor, we both agreed that because of the condition of the floor, the floor would be much better than it was, but not perfect. My wood kitchen floor had seen quite a bit of use and the finish was almost completely worn off. There
were multiple stains and I felt the floor was beyond help. But, you reassured me that you could restore the floor to look very presentable.
Your expertise on how you would approach the floor refinishing made me feel very comfortable and I also felt your proposal was fair and reasonable. Once work started, I checked on the floor after the first coat of polyurethane and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The floor looked better than I could have expected. Once you put on the second coat, the floor looked like new.
What a surprise! You restored my kitchen floor to look like a brand new installation. You exceeded my expectations and I am so pleased with the results. I appreciate your hard work to make my floor look good again. I didn’t think itwas possible, but I get to look at the proof every day. Thank you for working your magic.
- Nadine Rouse | May 4, 2017
My family, a beautiful wife and three children, were displaced from our Chicago home a day before school started because of a flood. Water had leaked for hours onto our hardwood floors in a 90-year old home. Manny, of Hardwood Floors by Manny, after surveying the damage, assured us that he would not only restore the floors, but that the floors would look even better, actually amazing.
After seeing samples of the work he had done on other gorgeous wood floor homes and listening to the passion he has for his profession, we were enthusiastically awaiting Manny to get to work. Before he even started, however, he explained the meticulous process that he performs from sanding the floors, analyzing the various wood types in our house, what stain colors would look best, and how to make the stain colors flow throughout the 3 floors of the house.
Manny's expertise in providing unique mixtures of stain and finish magically turned 90-year old wood floors into a modern masterpiece rivaling that of a brand new wood floor. The stairwell, especially the rail and treads, with Manny's special concoction (which is kept under lock and key at Fort Knox), transformed the entryway and staircase into the centerpiece of our home.
I would absolutely and without question recommend Manny to anyone installing new floors, repairing old floors, or just wanting to refurbish the wood floors in their home. His skill is unmatched and the job was finished with great efficiency and professionalism all around. Thanks Manny.
- Thomas Mulcahy, Attorney at Law
In fall 2016, Manny installed new prefinished hardwood and sub floor in our whole house, except for kitchen and bathrooms. Manny had earlier explained the process to us and followed exactly as he said things would go. His price is fair and his work is excellent. We love our floors!
Manny and his assistant were on site every day, all day, until the job was completed. They even worked on Saturdays and on Black Friday to keep the project moving. Manny and crew were friendly, personable, and fun to be around. Manny treats you like family. More importantly, the work they do is top notch. Their attitude and work ethic is very solid. When we had special requests, Manny happily took care of those and did a great job in the process. The transition areas and vents are done very well and we love them.
Manny graciously worked around our schedule so we can live in the house and carry on with our lives while they perform work without much trouble or inconvenience to us. We are very happy with the way our floors look and we highly recommend Manny’s services.
- Keith and Arlene Reel
After the wonderful job that you did in refurbishing the hardwood floors in our home, we can only say “thank you.”
But perhaps those two words do not adequately convey our appreciation for the excellent results due to your professionalism, care, and attention to detail. The floors shine as if new, and all of the work was completed on-time, and as scheduled, without disrupting any of the other activity in the house.
When one selects a vendor to complete a large project such as this, one must rely on the available recommendations and insights of others. In this case, we can verify that the positive recommendations for “Hardwood Floors By Manny” were certainly accurate and we would not hesitate to add our highest recommendation to that list as well.
From your punctual arrival, to your careful explanation of the pricing and the elements of the project, we were not only very satisfied, but also very pleased.
Thank you again for a job well done!
- Carol and Joe Ziemba | October 4, 2016 | Frankfort, IL 60423
Hi, I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with the work Manny and Gustavo did at our new
home. This is the second time we have had work done by Manny. The first time in our old home was so
well done, we believe that it was a big part of our home selling in just one day! The 700 sq. ft. of wood just
showed the house so well. When we purchased a new home we took out 1000sqft of carpet and
immediately called Manny! He's done it again! Beautiful work! Worth every dollar! Please call Manny,
you will be happy you did!
- Carl and Debbie Albert | November 18, 2015
Thank you! My home office floor looks great after your repair and refinishing.
I had contacted several other companies to get estimates on repairing my damaged floor to no avail. They all told me it could not be repaired and that I would have to be rip up the old floor and install a new one—a much more expensive proposition.
You were so highly recommended by the owner of a flooring product manufacturer I know from up north, that I tried one more time to get a quote on repairing the floor. I’m so glad I did.
You came in, gave me a fair cost proposal and completed the repair the following week. You respected our home, picked up all your supplies and kept the work area clean during the repair. I am very satisfied
with the final result — the floor looks great and was done at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire
floor.
Please feel free to use me as a reference.
Again, thank you for a job well done.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your outstanding work on our wood floor recently. Renovations had left some gaps and irregularities in our solid oak floor and I was expecting the patching and repairs to be somewhat conspicuous and unsatisfactory to behold. However, your work exceeded my expectations, and I was delighted by the results of invisible mending and seamless integration.
Furthermore, I appreciated your professionalism, courtesy and cleanliness, as well as the trust you inspired while working in our home and the confidence you earned for us to recommend you and your work to our friends and neighbors in Naples. Thanks again for a job really well done and in an exceptionally timely manner.
- Pawel Brzeski | November 04, 2014
Now that we are enjoying the hardwood floors that you and your crew installed in the three rooms last month, we want to thank you for a job well done.
From the first appointment when you helped choose the flooring and explained the process until the job was completed, you and your crew were just great! Your work ethic, pride in your work and profession, and respect for the homeowner all were more than expected. We would highly recommend you to friends and family for any hardwood flooring work.
- Brenda and Bruce Albers | July 22, 2014
As always, you did a spectacular job on my mother's floors! I just want to thank you. Construction
inside the home is stressful on the homeowner but you made it easy. Thank you for the timely and
tidy job. The floors look great, mom loves them. I will definitely pass your name onto others that are
looking for old school, quality craftsmanship.
- Tracey Sulzberger
I called Manny for an estimate on a house that I had just purchased which had 1600 sq. ft. of hardwood that had oxidized and had a large amount of wax build-up. Manny explained all of the options available and I decided to go with an entire sanding and re-finishing. I couldn't believe the results, the floors looked brand new! Manny worked hard and late to make sure the floors were done in time for my move-in date. I highly recommend Manny for professional and friendly service at a reasonable price.
- John Everly | July 08, 2013
Thank you for finishing our floors, they look great. You were on time, fast and neat. The idea for staining the inlay really made it stand out nicely. Your knowledge from the different types of wood to how to properly clean our floors was much appreciated. I bought the Bona cleaner and the tool to clean the floors and it works perfectly! We would recommend you and would have you back to one day refinish the floors.
- Bill and Thea LeBlanc | March 11, 2013
I LOVE MY FLOORS!!
I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you did refinishing my kitchen, dining room and hall floors. I have dogs – and thinking we would have to be out of our home for several days, the cost, the mess, etc. all caused me to continue to put off refinishing my floors.
To have this all done in one day and being able to sleep in my own bed that night was wonderful! There was NO mess, NO odor – just beautiful floors. The finish with the water-based sealant is gorgeous… I never imagined the floors would look that good. Now I can even move some furniture around since I no longer have to ‘hide’ discolorations in the wood. The downside – I am now repainting the walls because with the floors looking so good, it’s making the walls look bad.
Thank you so much.
- Dawn M. Gonda | July 15, 2013
I am writing this letter to express my appreciation for the wonderful job Manny did by restoring and bringing my original living room wood floor back to life.
While at a local store, I was in the process of renting the equipment needed to restore my floor myself and realized there was no way my husband and I were going to be able to take on the task on our own. I asked a salesperson at the store if she knew of anyone who could complete the job for me, and while waiting on her to return with referrals, I prayed and asked God to please send me a person He felt was qualified for the job. Within minutes, the salesperson returned and gave me Manny’s phone number.
I called Manny as soon as I returned home, and he came out to meet me ay my house the next morning – promptly at 8 a.m. When my husband and I met Manny, we instantly felt he was a warm, heartfelt and sincere person who was very confident and knowledgeable in his line of work. Manny explained he would contact me within a couple of days because I expressed my urgency to get the job done before the holiday. He fulfilled his promise by returning to my home and working hard to complete the job. I am so pleased
because my living room floor is BEAUTIFUL! We love it!
Just like the salesperson referred me to Manny, I would definitely recommend him to anyone I come in contact with who is in need of any type of flooring installations, repairs, etc. He is the man for the job! He is reasonably priced and provides excellent work. I look forward to looking at my beautiful floors for years to come. Thanks, Manny!
- Janice and DeWayne Farrell | July 5, 2012 | Kankakee, IL
I just wanted to let you know how pleased my husband and I are with our floors. We had my son's graduation party this past Saturday and we had so many compliments!
Thank you again! I will highly recommend you!
- Kim James | June 28, 2012
We have had the privilege of meeting and working with Manny. After over 1 year of “shopping” for new flooring, we concluded Manny was the person for the job. Our rooms included the kitchen, family room, living room, dining room, entryways and Florida room. With this said, it was very important that the colors and design fit the style of the colonial home. Each room needed to complement each other as well as blend with existing beams and kitchen cabinets. This was an overwhelming task for us. We ended up with a stack at least 12 inches tall of wood and laminate samples. This was a huge amount of choices, but nothing seemed to fit our aged, colonial character of our home. We were nearly ready to give up on our desire to have wood
floors. Our neighbor recommended Hardwood Floors by Manny.
His work ethic clearly showed when he came over for an estimate in a very timely fashion. He listened to our aspirations for the rooms. We wanted the aged old appearance, but did not want dark wood. We wanted to keep the rooms as bright as possible. We also wanted wood that appeared to depict the worn days of old. Manny gave us many options. After contemplating our choices, we decided on character red oak. Manny also offered the idea of the wood being installed on a 45 degree angle. In addition, he presented the thought of custom framing the fireplace. With Manny’s patience and knowledge, we continued to evaluate our
choices and finally decided on the choice of stain. He offered and made a couple of large samples for our home, so we could be certain that the finished product was what we desired. We deliberated on each choice. When we asked for Manny’s opinion, he was honest.
The decisions were made and the installation took place. Manny arrived on time each and every day. We were thankful for the way he communicated with us each step of the way. After the installation, he even took the time to go through the proper steps of care for the floors. We are so happy with the beauty of our investment! Thank you to Manny for your time and talent! You were the perfect choice for us and highly recommend you!
- Chris and Daryl Burch | June 7, 2012
We can't say enough about Manny and his work on your floors. We were very worried, with having original wide planked heart yellow pine floors, about finding someone who knew how to work with them. They are soft, so we were nervous about hiring someone that might damage them. We were so happy to find Manny's website. When he came out for his estimate, he was so honest and professional. He had plenty of experience with historic floor preservation and that eased our minds. We knew he was the one for the job. We set our appointment with Manny and were so excited and we were so excited for the opportunity to have our floors restored. They had been painted numerous times and carpeted over, so we had never seen their beauty before. Manny worked his magic and WOW, the floors are absolutely beautiful. He did an amazing job with them. He explained everything he was doing to us and even told me how to care for them when they were finished. We only did phase 1 of our floor restoration and can't wait to have him back (soon!!) for phase 2! We get so many compliments on our floors and I can just tell the house is happy to have this beautiful wood shining once again. We HIGHLY recommend Manny for any wood flooring issues that anyone might have. His prices are great and he is thorough and takes care and pride in his work. We are so thankful that we found him and didn't end up with someone else that would have ruined our priceless floors. Thanks so much Manny and we can't wait to have you finish the rest of our home.
- Jerry and Stephanie Loitz | Grant Park, IL
I'd like to thank you for the wonderful craftsmanship you recently completed at the Collectors Club of Chicago building.
The new flooring, the repairs to our old floor, and the refinishing are superb.
Thanks for all the work you so successfully and so satisfactorily completed.
- Gerald Nylander Chairman, Collectors Club of Chicago House Committee | November 10, 2011
I wanted to take a moment and let you know how much I appreciated the flooring work you did in our new home. Just about everything we coordinated for our recent move went completely opposite of what was needed and expected. Moving into a nice new home actually turned out to be one of the most frustrating and challenging experiences of my life. Prior to meeting you, I had never worked with a contractor who was willing to pay attention to the things that were important to me like you did. You took the time to listen and understood our needs as well as the timing dilemma we faced and then you voluntarily started early and worked late to accommodate finishing the job ahead of schedule. I’m still shocked that you were willing to do that for us!!! Doing business with you was unlike anything I could have expected. The way you explained every aspect of the work you would be doing assured me that you are a person who takes pride in his work. Your pricing was very reasonable especially for the quality craftsmanship. I didn’t believe that you’re work would not fill my house with dust, but you proved me wrong and I’m happy to acknowledge you were right when you said your process is 85% dust free! The thing I liked most about doing business with you was seeing how passionate you were in being certain I was totally satisfied with your services. I’m convinced that people who love what they do, stand out in the world. The results you produced are phenomenal and you truly stand out in what you do. I will definitely recommend your services to anybody in need of hardwood flooring or refinishing.
Thanks Again!
- Tony Tallarita
This past spring we had Manny sand and refinish the original hardwood floors in our two smallest bedrooms. One of the floors previously had worn carpeting covering it and the wood underneath was in bad shape, while the floor in the second room had a large stain on the wood and had never been properly sealed. Manny made those floors look brand-new and we still can’t get over how beautiful they look!
We are fairly new homeowners so we weren’t sure what the process would entail; Manny and his assistant arrived on time both days and did very thorough work. We were expecting to have to deal with sawdust in other parts of the house afterward, but there was no mess left. They cleaned up very well both days.
We have already recommended Manny to a few of our friends, and when we get around to having the other two bedroom floors refinished we will be giving Manny another call!
- Kyle and Amber Olney | July 2011
Got all the furniture in place, now I can enjoy my new floors. They are beautiful.
Manny, you carried through all that was discussed at the time you came to my home. You and your helper Dave did a fantastic job.
I will recommend Hardwood Floors By Manny to anyone interested in getting their floors done. So glad I found your ad in The Herald's Country Market.
- Bernie Hartman
Thank you... you were on time, very professional, did a very good job and our floors look outstanding. You went above and beyond our expectations, with virtually no dust, no inconvenience, on time and very competitive in price!
We are looking forward to having you back to do the next project and we would highly recommend you and your company to our family, friends and acquaintances.
- Mike and Gina Bettenhausen
The floors you redid in the main part of my house turned out great and the new floor you did in the bedroom was awesome. I get so many compliments on the floors.. Also thank you for taking the time to make sure you got the correct color for me. I really appreciated the hard work and how you went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect. I will recommend you to anyone I know needing hardwood floors. .
- Anne Amato
Wow! Our floors look fantastic. You did a great job on our new oak floors and to say we are thrilled with the walnut inlay work you did would be an understatement. We couldn't be happier. The pride you take in your work is obvious. Please don't hesitate to have anyone call us for a recommendation. It looks so good, we don't want to cover it up with furniture. Thank you for the quick job and for the extremely high-quality work. We'll be passing your name out.
- Greg Wolf and Renee Wolf | August 9, 2010
Your thoughtfulness means so much! Thank you so very much for your hard work and expertise on our flooring project. Your work is beautiful and quality is outstanding. We would be more than happy to recommend you to our friends and family. Thank you gain for a job well done!
- Katrine and Glen Rust | June 2010
Well we just had round 2 of our installation process completed yesterday and we must say. It was another great job by Manny and his ace assistasnt Neal. Neat, clean and minimal waste. Everything has been great so far. As usual they cleaned up and taped the boxes for trash. Round 3 in a week and we expect the same and then one more round and we should be complete. Keep up the good work!
- Danny and Karen Vallos
About three years ago we decided to have hardwood floors put in our house. We saw your ad in the herald and had you give us a bid. We chose you. So when we recently decided to have the rest of our home done in hardwood, there was no doubt in our minds on who was going to do the job. You do such wonderful work that we didn't even consider bidding the work out. We love our floors! The floors that were put in by you three years ago look as good as the floors you just did for us. We highly recommend you! Thank you. God bless you and your family.
- Kevin Boicken and Brenda Kolwelter
We would like to take this opportunity to let you know that we are quite pleased with the basement stairs that you installed for us. We love the look they add to our home and are impressed with you talents and professionalism.
You were here when you said you would be and you dedicated your time to the job at hand. In addition, you left our home in the same cleanly manner in which you found it on the day you began the job.
We enjoyed visiting with you as you did you work and will certainly be willing to recommend you to any of our friends should they choose to have this type of work done in their homes.
- Sandy and Michael Fehr | Frankfort, Illinois
The refinishing of the old hardwood floors in my home was a decision made easy by using the professional services of "Hardwood Floors by Manny." Manny offered competitive, reasonable prices and exceptional skill. My floors look absolutely beautiful! As a very satisfied customer, "Hardwood Floors by Manny" has my highest recommendation.
- Barbara Wettergren | Bourbonnais, Illinois
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to send these but we had so many projects going on we didn't know what to do first. The floors are simply beautiful! Everyone we show says they are beautiful too! What a different. I would recommend you to anyone. These pictures do not do the floors justice but here they are anyway. Thanks again for a great job.
- Kimbra Johnson
I just wanted to drop off a note to say thank you for the great job you did refinishing my daughter’s bedroom floor. You showed up when you said you would and completed the job as promised. The floor looks brand new and is probably 80 to 100 years old! I will call again if we decide to convert other rooms from carpet back to hardwood.
Thanks again.
- Thomas W. Cunnington, Attorney at Law | September 28, 2009 | Kankakee, IL 60901
Thank you for the beautiful job installing the hardwood floors in our living and dining areas.
It was a great experience to find someone who takes such pride in his work, demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and delivers what is promised in a timely manner, all at a very reasonable price. We are very pleased with both the floor product and the job your crew did with the installation. I'd also like to add how surprised I was on how little"mess"was created during the entire process.
I will highly recommend you to friends and neighbors for the exceptional quality of your work.
- Mario and Cheryl Pacheco
Thank you for the great installation of our engineered wood floor in the basement. We continually receive compliments on the beautiful floor - Rustic Maple. We were on a short timetable and appreciate that you worked our job into your busy schedule! Thanks for the wonderful product, speed of installation and your tremendous personality
- Tammy and Joe Cato | July 28, 2009
Thanks so much for your work on our renovation project.
A 100 year old house can be a real challenge on a good day. But when you run in to hard wood floors that
aren’t hard wood at all, but softer heart pine….and as you saw, in horrendous shape. A challenge can turn
into a disaster. Before you came to look at the job, we had 2 contractors look at the floors and refuse to
even quote refinishing. They said they should be replaced, or just carpeted over. A couple others just threw
out a number and said don’t expect too much. We were on a tight budget as you know, but we love this
house, and the wood trim and floors are a big part of that. When you took the time to explain the process
for refinishing the pine floors and helped work out not only the sanding and refinishing of the floors but
explained that since we were removing one of the rooms that had wood floors and replacing it with tile. We
could reuse that material (which would match perfectly) to repair the areas that were too badly damaged
to be sanded.. And it was material that was already paid for. Because of this savings we were able to not
only have the floors refinished and repaired, We could afford to have you re finish the hand build staircase.
The steps were in such bad shape that the former owner, who had refinished the hand rails, gave up and had
them carpeted. We were lucky to have enough material to add the authentic flooring to the walk in closet
we added to the master bedroom. The repairs and added flooring are seamless to the rest of the floor. It
was nothing short of amazing. I’ve included photos of the job in several stages of completion. Feel free to
show them to future customers so they can have an idea of what’s possible and show an example of your
skills. It’s a rare thing these days to find real craftsmanship in a renovation at a reasonable price, and in a
timely manner. And a contractor willing to work with a customer creatively to solve difficult problems and
find ways to stay on budget. Feel free to use me as a reference for future jobs.

We had our hardwood floor refinished in May 2009. It was suppose to take four days and Manny was done in less than three days. They look wonderful and my house feels so clean now! Thanks again Manny!

Thanks Manny, and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the beautiful job installing and finishing our hardwood floors on such short notice.
Having worked with several tradespeople during the renovation of our home, we very much appreciate the simple courtesies of coming to work when you say you will, finishing the job when you say it will be finished, and taking the time to answer our questions. You came through on all accounts, in a professional and friendly manner.
Should we undertake another remodeling project, we will definitely give you a call, and we have already been telling our family, friends and coworkers about our work.

Hardwood Floors By Manny refinished our 40-year-old oak plank flooring and stopped almost all of the sqeaking that had gradually become worse over the years. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. Manny arrived exactly when he said he would, completed the work at the agreed-upon price, and our floor now looks beautiful. We were also amazed at how little dust there was during and after his sanding. We highly recommend them for the excellent quality of his work.

We are a family of 5; me and my husband, 18, 15, 10-year old kids and a poodle. We decided to do our living room hardwood for so many reasons. So, we called Manny and after he explained everything so well step by step, we wanted to know and he had answers to the whole process. We did the family room and it turned out so beautiful! We loved to watch him work. He is a very respectful and lovely person; my kids loved him and he became a dear brother to us. He is very professional and loves his job. We decided to go with him one more time and do our family room, dining room and hallway stairs. He did a beautiful job. We love our house all over again! Even after my kids and the dog mess our house, it looks very clean and elegant.
Thank you Manny and God bless you.

We really appreciate the time you took to explain everything and to make sure we were satisfied. It was so nice to have a contractor working in our home that took care of it as if it was his own. We have highly recommended you to our family and friends for the exceptional quality of your work.

Manny and his crew showed up promptly at 8 o’clock as he said he would, and worked continuously
throughout the day. When the work was completed, they did a thorough cleanup on the work site. Manny’s crew was courteous and informative throughout the project.
We are very pleased with both the product and the installation performed by Manny and his crew. We would recommend Manny from Hardwood Floors for anyone considering refinishing their floors or wanting to install new flooring.

It is with great enthusiasim that I write this letter of recommendation for Manny Navarro of Flooring by M & M, Inc. My wife and i have had the pleasure of having Manny lay hardwood floors for our newly constructed house. Manny was responsible for laying oak floors in the living room and dining room, as well as in the foyer and a large open space den.
At the start of the relationship with Manny, he presented a well-crafted pitch of his services, and a wonderful assortment of prior jobs to give us an idea of his work product. He also was very knowledgeable about various types of wood flooring and offered us customized floor designs for our fireplace and foyer area.
Once we contracted with Manny, we were able to give him an idea of the type of design we wanted and he was extremely helpful in directing us in how to achieve the desired effect. Manny was consistently timely in arriving to begin the job every day and kept a very neat and orderly worksite. As an extremely respectful and personable professional, Manny was delightful to work with.
Finally, the finished product was more than we expected. We were amazed at how beautiful the floor and the stain looked. It opened up the entire room.
I can highly recommend Flooring by M & M, Inc. and Manny Navarro to anyone for home remodeling projects.

About one year ago we pulled up a stained and spoiled carpet in our fellowship hall. We call this area Holy Grounds. It is where we meet to drink coffee and visit with each other before and after church services.
It was decided that we would have the floor refinished instead of installing new carpet. We contacted M & M, Inc. and Manny came in a timely manner to begin work on the floors. There was an amazing transformation in the floor. After Manny finished it was as if the Holy Grounds floor had been born again. The wood is beautiful.
I recommend M & M for their good work. May God richly bless their work.

Our client is extremely happy with the pricing and quality of hardwood flooring services received. He has done a nice job for our client and I also intend to have this person do some bids for my own home.

Hardwood Floors by Manny refinished our oak floor in the family room. We were so impressed by the job done that we scheduled wood floor installation of the kitchen, powder room, living room, dining room, and master bedroom. With the recent installation of the last three bedrooms, Manny and his crew have now completed flooring of our entire home.
Manny’s knowledge of wood types, stain colors, wood designs, his thorough explanation of the anticipated end result, coupled with his obvious pleasure in his chosen profession and pleasing personal nature are immeasurable. His professionalism including pricing as originally quoted, promptness, worksite cleanliness, and his attention to detail have made him a pleasure to work with.
Manny incorporated wood designs in three of our floors and the compliments of our friends and neighbors speak highly of the superb quality of Manny’s workmanship. Our total satisfaction with our beautiful floors will prompt us to continue to recommend Manny Navarro to anyone desiring refinishing, design and installation of hardwood floors.
