Lino's Flooring installs and refinishes hardwood, tile, vinyl, laminate, and epoxy floors across the Boston area — Cambridge, Newton, Brookline, Somerville, Quincy, and more, by the company's own account. It says it's been doing this for 20 years, run by Jose Godoy, who shows up in person for the estimate and, according to the customers who describe him, often stays involved through the finish.
On Google, the company holds a perfect 5 stars, though the sample is small — five ratings total, with two full write-ups landing in the last few months calling the installs professional and the finished floor "perfect." The longer written record runs back to 2018 on Thumbtack, where it holds 4.8 stars from 44 ratings, 93% of them five-star. The specifics repeat: in a 2023 review, a homeowner described Jose walking through material options before a kitchen tile job, then sending photos as his crew worked over the roughly week it took to finish. In a 2021 review, another customer had a kitchen floor tiled and a backsplash added, with a last-minute bathroom repair fit in along the way, and called the price excellent. Reviews from 2020 describe similar kitchen tile jobs, with customers saying Jose was communicative from the quote through the final walkthrough.
There's little to flag in what's written. Thumbtack's own rating breakdown shows 5% of its 44 ratings at one star, but no written complaint explaining why turns up anywhere in the record — worth a look on the platform directly before booking. The company's own site claims 20 years in business, while its Thumbtack profile lists 12 — a gap worth a quick question if tenure matters to your decision.
For tile and hardwood work in particular — the jobs its customers describe most often and in the most detail — Lino's Flooring has a track record that holds up over several years. Confirm current pricing and scheduling directly, since neither turns up in what past customers have written.
