Christian Brothers Hardwood Floors describes itself as a family-owned hardwood flooring installation and refinishing company based in Warwick, Rhode Island, serving Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts.

A recent Google customer said they put in refinished hardwood flooring on a second floor, cleaned up at the end of every day and had the best price of 3 estimates. A recent Google customer said Brian explained the options based on the home's limitations and then delivered on installation with both price and timeline. A recent Google customer said their floor was repaired quickly. A 2025 HomeAdvisor customer said they replaced 2 oak boards at no cost. A 2024 Angi customer said they took care of almost 50-year-old hardwood floors. A 2016 Angi customer said Bruce and his crew repaired areas of the floor without refinishing the entire room, matching the finish color in the living room. A 2016 Angi customer said the whole main floor refinish was completed within two weeks of the first call. A 2017 Angi customer said Bruce Donahue was open to using Poly Whey, a low-VOC product, and that there was no smell when they finished. A 2025 HomeAdvisor customer said they bought twice as much wood as needed, billed for it, and insisted on the money when the extra wood was returned. A 2023 HomeAdvisor customer said certain spots were not done well and cleanup could have been better. A 2017 HomeAdvisor customer said a job quoted at 4 days left a huge mess, with baseboard trim not reapplied and doors not removed or adjusted, and that a complaint to Brian Donahue got no response. A 2017 HomeAdvisor customer said they were slow to respond to messages and calls. A 2017 Angi customer said several inches of ceiling paint came off when the protective plastic sheeting was pulled down.
