A homeowner describes Hawkins Hardwood Flooring pausing a refinishing job after its crew discovered a toilet leak beneath the exposed floors. The customer says Ty spotted the problem, the crew notified them, and work waited while a plumber made repairs. They also describe choosing from stain samples before their red oak floors received Jacobean stain and three coats of oil polyurethane. Hawkins says it handles dustless refinishing, repairs and custom staining across Rhode Island and Massachusetts, from restorations in Lincoln to new installations in South County. Its stated service area includes Providence, Smithfield, Cumberland, Cranston, Attleboro and Seekonk. The company reports 11 years in business, offers free estimates and says it is insured. Customers describe new hardwood fitted alongside existing floors as well as refinishing work. One homeowner says John and his team refinished floors throughout the house, patched damaged wood, removed linoleum and installed hardwood that matched the original flooring. The customer says the work finished on time and at the agreed price. Another describes replacing bedroom carpeting with natural hardwood to match the rest of the house, with the crew also repairing an area of existing hardwood. That homeowner praises the price and responsiveness. A separate customer describes adding and refinishing white oak and praises the result. Google shows a 5-star average from 128 ratings. A customer who says they hired Hawkins for hardwood work in three houses praises the finished floors, clear communication and crews arriving when promised. The red oak refinishing customer likewise says the crew delivered the agreed scope and timeline and charged the lowest price among the contractors they had contacted.

John and his crew not only gave me the best price of anyone I talked to, but the quality of work was unbelievable. They completely transformed my red oak floors using a Jacobean stain and 3 coats of oil poly. They delivered on everything they said they would do as far as timelines and scope of work. The crew made time to show me some sample stains on the floors before doing anything, and they were also very honest. After buffing out the floors, Ty noticed a leak beneath one of the toilets that had been seeping under the floors for a long time. We would never have noticed without the floors being bare, instead of staining them to keep the job moving, they notified us and gave us the time we needed to have a plumber make repairs before they continued working. I appreciate their honesty and care they showed for my home in this process. Check out these pictures of a job done correctly. I’m in love with my refinished floors and recommend this company highly.
I can’t recommend Hawkins Hardwood Flooring highly enough. I have had them complete hardwood flooring work in three of my houses, and every single time they have exceeded my expectations. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to quality are second to none. They provide exceptional service from start to finish, communicate clearly, show up when they say they will, and take pride in delivering a finished product that looks incredible. Beyond the quality of their work, they offer tremendous value and make the entire process easy and stress-free. It’s rare to find a company that combines skill, reliability, and outstanding customer service the way they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful hardwood floors and a company they can trust.
John and his teams were prompt, responsive and easy to work with. The price was great and the hardwood install and finished product came out amazing! We replaced our bedroom carpeting with natural hardwoods to match the rest of the house and it came out perfect. They also went above and beyond and fixed an area of the existing hardwoods just to ensure things were perfect. Highly recommend Hawkins- hands down. Will be my only call for my next project.
I had a great experience with John and his team! They were experienced and provided valuable insights throughout my project. They refinished the floors throughout our house, patched areas where the original wood was damaged, and ripped out linoleum and installed new hardwood. Where they installed new hardwood it matched the existing hardwoods well! They completed the work on time and at our agreed upon price and the floors look fantastic!! I’ve already recommended them to my neighbors!
Hawkins made my floors look amazing! Added and refinished my white oak and I could not have asked for it to look any better! John is a great guy and goes above and beyond! I highly recommend calling Hawkins to do your hardwoods
