Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A 2026 Reddit commenter wrote that Ace Wood Flooring in Smithfield restored their c.1900 hardwood, which had been hidden beneath carpet for about 50 years. The company says it has been in business for 59 years, and its website lists hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl tile and plank, carpet, laminate and tile. A 2026 Google reviewer said two bedrooms were transformed in a day, with the old carpet and padding disposed of. In a 2018 Angi review, a customer described a team of 4 techs removing several layers of engineered wood from a concrete base in their kitchen, leaving the floor ready for tile installation. A 2023 Angi reviewer said a stair sanding and refinishing job was sanded for 2 days, they did not show on the Monday they said they would return, and Troy suggested they part ways when the customer needed it done sooner. A 2019 Angi reviewer reported chatter marks, gouge marks, and dirt and hair trapped within the finish. A 2018 Angi reviewer said the entire house was covered in dust when the job was completed and had to be professionally cleaned. A 2026 Reddit commenter wrote that they used Ace a few years ago when they bought their house and "They did a terrible job." **Strengths:** - Old hardwood restoration — a 2026 commenter said c.1900 hardwood was restored - A one-day carpet swap — a 2026 customer said two bedrooms were done in a day **Concerns:** - A stair job no-show — a 2023 customer said they did not return Monday - Finish defects — a 2019 customer reported gouges and dirt in the finish - Dust after the job — a 2018 customer needed professional house cleaning ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A 2026 Reddit commenter said Ace Wood Flooring restored c.1900 hardwood that had been under carpet _(confidence: medium)_ - [reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/RhodeIsland/comments/1qcn6at/hardwood_floor_repair/o01x1dd/) — “r/RhodeIsland — We went with Ace Wood Flooring in Smithfield.
