Hello all,<br>
A friend is looking for a recommendation for someone who refinishes hardwood floors. Unfortunately, the person who refinished my floors didn't really do a job that I felt was worthy of recommending. Any suggestions from the Charles Village Chat group?<br>
Thank you,<br>
D'<br>

We used Lady Baltimore for two floors of our stairs and 3 full rooms on our third floor, and we were very happy with the results. They're fully licensed, were prompt and tidy, and were entirely upfront about what they could and could not do.<br>
