Lawrence Floor

Three people, thirty-one years, one storefront on Pelham Street. Lawrence Floor Company has been selling and laying floors out of Methuen since 1995 — carpet, linoleum and hardwood, all major brands, for houses and commercial spaces alike, with custom work and free estimates. Brian Tardugno owns it, and BBB's file goes back to 1997, which squares with the start date rather than stretching past it. That longevity is the whole of what is publicly known. No customer reviews exist on any site — not a star rating, not a written account of a single job. BBB itself carries no grade for the company, stating it does not have enough information to issue one, which is the absence of a rating rather than a bad one, and the business has not sought BBB accreditation. On credentials, floor-covering work is one of the trades Massachusetts exempts from home improvement contractor registration under MGL c.142A §14, so there is nothing unusual about a flooring-only shop without that registration. One caution when you go looking: the name pulls up unrelated companies, including a same-named flooring business in Washington state, so check you are calling the Pelham Street number. For a homeowner, this reads as an old-fashioned local flooring dealer worth a quote — ask for addresses of recent Methuen-area installs and speak to those customers directly, since there is no public account of the work to go on.
