C&R Flooring is a Westwood, Massachusetts hardwood flooring company founded by Chris Zizza, who has run it for more than 35 years and, per one industry profile, has employees who've stayed with him 25 years or more. Zizza is a recognized figure in the trade — a National Wood Flooring Association Hall of Famer and past chairman of its board — and hardwood-industry publications have featured him repeatedly, including as a co-host of the NWFA's "Real Answers" podcast. What's documented about the company leans toward industry standing and community involvement rather than firsthand accounts of hired jobs. Trade press has covered its philanthropic work, including a 2013 Silver PRISM Award from the Builder and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston for community spirit, and a regional lifestyle outlet profiled Zizza's charitable giving in 2024. In a 2019 trade-press interview, Zizza described limiting LVT/LVP installations to below-grade areas and recommending solid wood everywhere else in a home — a preference that speaks to his approach as a flooring professional. There isn't a customer-written account on file describing what a specific job with C&R Flooring was like, so it's worth asking for recent references directly before booking. For someone specifically wanting solid hardwood work from a long-tenured, industry-recognized Westwood shop, this is a business with real standing in its trade — confirm current pricing and scheduling since neither is documented here.
