Our first introduction to 50 Grit Flooring occurred in the spring of 2025. The company was subcontracted during a major renovation to provide an oak hardwood floor in the bedroom of a new addition. This newly installed floor was to directly interface with the original hardwood floor of an adjacent room in our 90-year-old colonial home. In brief, the end result was stunning in the quality of the wood itself, the workmanship of the installation, and the blending of the new floor to the original.
Having been absent during this project, we got to appreciate the quality end product of this company, but not the people. That was to change in a second project, later in the year, when we hired 50 Grit directly to provide a laminate floor in a former bedroom/ bathroom floor that had been completely carpeted by the original owners. Steve, our initial contact in sales, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in providing guidance for our selection of both product, pattern and color for the new laminate. Matt, in management went out of his way to meet our time deadline, in spite of a pivot in project from installation of laminate to the refinishing of a pinewood floor!
John, assigned to remove the carpet and clean the area, informed us, despite our initial belief that the room was actually furnished not with underlayment with old but serviceable wood flooring! That revelation brought the carpentry team into the picture to refinish the existing floor. Dustin coordinated the efforts of fellow craftsman Spencer, and apprentice Medhi to remove existing furniture, carry out repairs of the old flooring where needed and deal with surprises. Like the presence of a marble base under the existing toilet in the bath, which required refurbishing to coordinate with the wood plank flooring. Dustin expertly schooled us on the intricacies of sanding, repair, wood grains, stains, colors and finishes to guide decision making. That well-tuned team accomplished much in a few days. The refinished floor was outstanding and reflected the talent and skill of these individuals. Equally important, throughout the process, every attention was paid to the care of our home in the moving and use of heavy equipment and concern was made for our safety and comfort during the project. Dustin and Spencer even tag-teamed visits over the weekend going the extra mile to ensure that our timeline was adequately met. Each and every one of the talented individuals from 50 Grit with whom we dealt, was courteous, personally delightful to work with, respectful of our property, and met the highest expectations for craftsmanship. In summary, if you’re searching for the whole package of personal attention, quality workmanship, and superior results, look toward 50 Grit Flooring. You will find no better.
