GC Hardwood Floors Inc

GC Hardwood Floors is a one-person operation out of Bellingham built almost entirely around hardwood work — installation, sanding, refinishing, and the patch jobs that let an aging floor skip a full teardown. The name that comes up in nearly every review is Gustavo Oliveira, who owns and runs the company himself; its own site says it's been doing this for over 10 years. The Google history runs 34 reviews from 2024 into 2026, every one of them five stars, and the last six months alone added nine more with nothing negative. The specifics repeat rather than vary: one review describes Gustavo stripping decades-old carpet off a staircase, filling the nail holes, and sanding and refinishing the oak back to bare wood in three coats of stain plus a topcoat; another describes a stained section patched and blended into the surrounding boards well enough that a full refinish wasn't needed. In a 2024 review, one customer noted the crew left the house "very clean... no dust, nothing" after a full day of work. Reviewers keep circling back to that same pairing — careful, tidy work, and scheduling that moves fast, including jobs taken on short notice. Before booking, it's worth knowing the company carries a Better Business Bureau grade of A but is not a BBB-accredited business — a common, unremarkable status for an operation this size. There's no documented complaint or negative review on file, which is a good sign but also means there isn't much to judge against if a job goes sideways. For a straightforward hardwood installation, refinish, or repair in the Bellingham area, the reviews point to a responsive, detail-minded one-man shop — worth a call for anything short of a multi-trade renovation, and worth confirming Gustavo's own schedule directly since he appears to run every job himself.
