GERMANO FLOOR COVERING COMPANY

Germano Floor Covering Company has been laying floors out of Norwood for nearly two decades — the Better Business Bureau puts it at 19 years in business, and lists it as a flooring contractor. That tenure is what a homeowner has to go on here, and it is worth something in a trade where crews come and go. If you are putting floors into a Norwood-area home, ask which materials they install and finish most often, get the scope and the product in writing before the first board goes down, and ask for proof of insurance and a couple of recent local references.
