GB Hardwood Floor is a Norwood shop that keeps landing back in the same apartment complexes and old New England homes — the kind of client list you build one referral at a time. Across 62 Google and Angi reviews going back to 2017, the story barely changes: Geovane and a small crew show up, sand and stain hardwood that is decades (sometimes a century) old, and leave with the floor looking new. A Google reviewer's 120-year-old fir floor "looks like new"; another's white oak stairs, rebuilt from scratch, were sanded and sealed to match existing floors down to the finish. Its Google rating sits at 4.9★ from 40 ratings, Angi at 4.6★ from 32, and BBB grades it A+. What keeps coming up isn't just the sanding, it's the cleanup and the communication. Several reviewers specifically call out dust-free sanding equipment and daily or final cleanups that leave a job site looking untouched; others describe Geovane calling back within the hour, meeting before the job to walk through stain samples, and following up after to confirm satisfaction. The crew also picks up adjacent work on the same visit, painting trim and walls, building and finishing staircases and handrails, and pricing is repeatedly called competitive or the lowest of several quotes gathered. It isn't spotless. In a 2026 review, a Newton customer said a laminate-floor warranty issue went unresolved: Geovane reportedly said he'd come address it, then stopped returning calls, and the reviewer called the work itself "less than average." Two older Angi reviews tell a similar story from further back — in a 2019 review, a customer said an entire project had to be redone over workmanship, with no refund offered (the owner replied disputing this, saying a refund had been offered by phone and text); in a 2018 review, a stair job estimated at 1–2 days took 10 and left a mess (the owner offered to return and clean up). Both are dated accounts from years ago, set against a much larger and more recent run of five-star jobs. Get any warranty commitment in writing before the crew starts — most of what people hire GB for is straightforward floor refinishing and installation, and the overwhelming majority of the written record backs that up.
Worked on multiple projects with Geovane and appreciated his availability and punctuality over the course of several weeks. The flooring was done very well, the painting was average, lots of spots which need to be touched up. We also had a couple of railings installed which look nice, although have needed to be repaired already.
Geovane and his crew did a less than average job on the hardwood project we had them do in Newton last year. When a warranty issue came up with the laminate floor in a section of the house, he placated us several times by saying he would go by and address it, and then just stopped answering or returning calls. It's strange because it was a pretty easy fix and clearly their installers fault. In short, they offer very mediocre work and zero accountability for warranty issues. I would never use them again.
Geovane did an excellent job installing laminate flooring in my property. He was very responsive and always quick to reply to calls and texts. He and his crew paid great attention to detail, and it really shows in the final result. I highly recommend him.
Amazing experience! Giovanni and his team wear professional, knowledgeable and finished my floors in 3 days. I could not be any happier at how it came out. I would DEFINITELY recommend this company 🙂. You can’t tell from the photos but I had a few holes in the floor, paint stains and scratches… they came in and really brought the floor back to life! I love how it came out.
We recently bought a Townhouse and we had several projects, including removing old carpeting and installing Hardwood Floors on the Upper Level. I made several online inquiries and Geovane of GB Hardwood Floors called me within an hour. Geovane provided me a good estimate and we also had him buff the existing Hardwood Floors on the Main and Lower Levels. Whilst he was doing the floor work, he also removed the existing Kitchen Cabinets, Countertops and Appliances, which he did in one day. The entire job was completed in a week, with the new Hardwood Floors, which looked great, that perfectly matched the existing Hardwood Floors which also looked great. I would highly recommend GB Flooring Inc for all your flooring needs. Thanks again Geovane!
