A 2022 customer said Charlie and his men started on the floors of their entire home, over 1,800 square feet and stairs, the day after the call. That 2022 customer said they removed pet stains, water damage and nail holes and kept the original floors, where other companies quoting the job wanted to remove the old floor and charge more. The company's website lists Charles as the author of "A Complete Guide to Wood Flooring" and as an educator, alongside Master Craftsman classes. On Google it holds 4.8 stars from 40 ratings. A 2024 customer had Charles Peterson Wood Floors refinish hardwood floors after water damage from a fire, and said he was responsive to questions and communicated issues throughout the process. A 2024 reviewer wrote that Charlie and his team made the boards original to a 1960's house look brand new, removing closet doors and baseboard heat covers to get all the way to the edges, and worked around other contractors who were there. That 2024 reviewer called it, price-wise, the best quote they got. A 2024 customer said Charles and his team had refinished wood floors in two of their houses and fit the latest project in a short time frame. A 2022 customer wrote that Charlie's crew, Bill and Roy, had more than 40 years of experience. A 2025 customer said there was no dust anywhere afterward, even on the window sills, then added an update roughly nine months later: the crew had applied a water-based polyurethane, and the customer had to refinish the floors with an oil-based one. That 2025 customer advised making sure an oil-based polyurethane is applied.
Charles is a very knowledgeable and professional expert in hardwood flooring. It's not just his profession, it's his passion. His crew did an amazing job - including a repair which blended in perfectly with the existing flooring. And, when they were finished, there wasn't a spec of dust anywhere - even on the window sills. Very reasonably priced with fabulous results. A true craftsman! Thanks, Charlie! Update and an FYI - if you have Charles refinish your floors, definitely make sure they apply an OIL based polyurethane. It has been roughly 9 months since I had my floors done by his crew (who were very friendly, respectful and cleaned up very well). They had applied WATER based polyurethane. And, I have had to refinish them properly with an OIL based polyurethane.
Professional, beautiful work. Was only local company that returned my call in a timely manner. Highly recommend!
We used Charles Peterson Wood Floors to refinish our hardwood floors after water damage from a fire. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, very friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our floors turned out beautifully. He was also very responsive to questions and communicated any issues throughout the process. I am enthralled with how amazing my floors look now! We HIGHLY recommend Charles to anyone!
Excellent Job! More than what we expected. Our schedule was very hectic, moving to our new house then going to Florida shortly after. Charlie was able to make it happen just in time for us to be home. Our floor looks brand new now without spending too much. Charlie and his team is highly recommended!
Charles and his team has refinished wood floors in two of our houses. The quality is top notch and he is very professional. When we needed our floors refinished again after we moved, it was a no brainer to reach out to him to see if his team has availability. He is also very accommodating to work on your floors during a time that you already have a trip scheduled, which is very helpful! This past time he was able to fit our project in, in a short time frame from when I reached out to him. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing work on wood floors. He is the expert.
