2010.0. "Contractors - Flooring(hardwood)" by POWDML::DUNN () Thu Nov 30 1995 09:36

I'd like to HIGHLY recommend AJ Ruggerio for the installation or refinshing of
hardwood floors.     He's out of Acton, don't know how far he covers. 

We just redid the kitchen and wanted to add hardwood there.   Ruggerio was
recommended and so we had him look at it.     He did a wonderful job "weaving"
in the new to the old floor (where they meet end to end),  and seaming the
other place where they meet side to side.    Three coats of finish.  Also,
gave a light sand and new top coat to the diningroom since it got a lot of
construction abuse, and it looks phenomenal, and you can't see the feathering
into the finish of the living room. 

Myron refinished the whole house when we bought it 1.5 years ago, so we're
familiar with his work and the "standard" that everyone set by him.  Ruggerio's
installation craftsmanship is excellent, his finishing is flawless and his
attention to detail is noteworthy.    Also, he's a really nice guy. 

AJ Ruggerio    264-9264

	We just had Northland Flooring Co. out of Pepperell, MA install and finish our hardwood floors. They did a great job installing the floor(we had bought the wood ourselves, though you can purchase wood through them) which included a cherry border around the outside of the room with 4" maple in the middle. The finishers stained the floor and coated it with 3 coats of poly. You can reach the owner, Al at 508-433-6824.

2010.10	Steve Breen 508-939-8195	CONSLT::MCBRIDE	Idleness, the holiday of fools	`Mon Jun 02 1997 16:02`	7
	I recently had the floors in my entire house refinished. Mostly as a result of water damage from some broken pipes. Steve Breen from Templeton did the work. Highly recommended. He does it on the side after having done if for 9 years or so full time. Very reasonable and thorough. I am quite pleased with the results. He completely sanded, repaired a few boards, and applied 4 coats of urethane. It looks great.
