Recent flooring jobs.
Actual Rhode Island flooring work, finished and in progress: planks going down, transitions getting cleaned up, and rooms ready to live in.
The shine people notice, backed by real hardwood.
A properly installed and finished hardwood floor catches natural light without hiding the grain. We handle new installation and refinishing, then leave the room ready to live in.
Installed by hand

Hardwood gets fastened one board at a time, with the same care that shows up in the finished room.

Decks
Deck repair, framing, boards, stairs, and railings built for Rhode Island weather.
We handle small rebuilds, rot repairs, deck board replacement, railings, stairs, and framing fixes across Rhode Island. If the structure is worth saving, we save it. If it is not, we tell you straight and quote the rebuild clearly.

- Pressure-treated, cedar, and composite deck boards
- Stairs, railings, trim details, and safer transitions
What we do
Hardwood installation and refinishing lead our work.
Choose real hardwood for natural grain, lasting value, and a finish that can be renewed. We also install tile and LVP and build decks, with the same crew quoting and completing every project.
Floor refinishing
Bring tired floors back: sanded flat, stained to your tone, and sealed with a durable finish. Far cheaper than replacing.

Tile that is waterproof before it is pretty.
A bathroom is the one room where a shortcut shows up as a leak two years later. We waterproof every wet wall and pan before any tile is set, so your shower is sealed behind the finish you actually see.
- Walk-in showers, tub surrounds, niches, and benches
- Floor tile, heated floors, and kitchen backsplashes
- Full waterproofing and proper slope on every pan

FAQ
Straight answers before the estimate.
Where do you offer installation and floor refinishing?
We install hardwood, LVP, and tile throughout Rhode Island and take select installation projects in nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut. Floor sanding and refinishing are Rhode Island-only because that work requires frequent equipment transport. Deck work is also limited to RI.
How much does hardwood flooring cost in RI?
Most installs run about $6–$12 per square foot installed, depending on the wood, your subfloor, and the layout. You get a free in-home estimate and a written, itemized scope before work begins.
Do you install bathroom and shower tile?
Yes. Bathroom floors, shower and tub surrounds, niches, and backsplashes, with full waterproofing of every wet area before any tile is set. Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone.
Do you build and repair decks?
Yes. We handle deck tear-outs, framing repairs, deck boards, stairs, railings, and small rebuilds across Rhode Island. We'll tell you if repair or replacement makes more sense.
Can you refinish my floors instead of replacing them?
Usually, yes. If your hardwood is structurally sound, sanding and refinishing costs far less than replacement and makes old floors look new. We'll tell you honestly which way to go at the estimate.
Are you registered and insured?
Yes. Owner-operated, registered, and insured in Rhode Island. You get a local contractor you can reach directly, with the care of a small family crew.
What happens after I request an estimate?
We contact you to confirm the project and schedule an on-site walkthrough. After seeing the space, we provide a written, itemized estimate so the scope is clear before work begins.
