Dubon Flooring

Dubon Flooring — also trading as Dubon Contractors — is Manuel "Manny" Dubon-Vasquez's eight-person Winthrop crew at 494 Shirley St, and hardwood is the through-line: refinishing, installation, sanding and staining with a dustless system. Thumbtack shows the depth — 4.8 stars across 111 ratings, hired 135 times, Top Pro badges in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020, and 13 years in business — and a background check on Manny completed in October 2025. The story customers keep telling is the same one across a decade: the lowest of several quotes, and the work still came out right. A 2017 reviewer collected seven other estimates before hiring them; a 2019 customer called the quote 'far and away the most reasonable.' The pace is real too — one 2017 account describes 1,700 square feet stripped and stained in a day. And it has held up: a September 2024 reviewer called it their first all-around good contractor experience in 13 years, and the newest review, from September 2025, reads simply 'fair price, clean, and great finish work.' A few practical notes. HomeAdvisor jobs quoted between $1,600 and $3,600, Spanish is spoken, and there are no free estimates and no warranties per that profile — worth confirming terms in writing. Reviewers name the on-site operator as Armando in 2022–2024 accounts and Manny in earlier ones, so ask who's running your job. And the 4.8-from-111 figure on Porch is the same Thumbtack total republished, not a second pool of reviews; the 1-star share of that pool is 2%. For floor refinishing or installation where you want a competitive bid without rolling the dice on quality, this is a well-documented call. Confirm the scope, the crew lead, and the finish schedule before they start.
