Verified record
John Nguyen has run Marks Hardwood Floors Services out of Revere for sixteen years, and it shows in the numbers: a 4.8-star rating across 110 Thumbtack reviews, a Top Pro badge in five different years (2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2025), and a background check on file. The specifics in the reviews match that track record. In a 2025 review, a Brookline customer said John stayed right on schedule even after uncovering surprises under old wall-to-wall carpet, kept her posted throughout, and left her recommending him to friends. Another 2025 review described a tighter situation — a family on a deadline to move into a new home — where John came in on a holiday weekend to get the floors started and finished in time, with floors the customer called beautiful. A third 2025 review praised the speed and quality of a floor project and called John professional and easy to work with. The most recent account, from July 2026, was shorter but still positive: a customer said John understood their budget constraints and would hire him again for other work, not just flooring. And a November 2025 review described hiring him for a larger job — converting 1,200 square feet from carpet to hardwood, plus a staircase and resanding some existing hardwood — noting he responded quickly and had materials ordered almost immediately once the job got underway. There's nothing negative on file, and the reviews span real variety — new installs, refinishing, carpet conversions, and jobs squeezed into tight timelines. Marks Hardwood Floors Services is a solid pick for a Revere-area homeowner with a hardwood project of almost any size, especially one on a deadline — John's reviews consistently mention working around a customer's schedule rather than the other way around.

I absolutely loved working with John. He was so delightful to work with and in general! He understood our desires to keep the budget as low as possible. I would use them for any job in the future not just floors!
We John on 11/01/25 to do hardwood from carpet on 1200 sq ft area in our house along with hardwood on stair case and resanding some areas where hardwood exists. He is very prompt in responding and immediately ordered the material so he can start work this week. my experience is very good so far.
We were on a very quick time crunch because we needed to move into our new home. John was super accommodating, he even came on a holiday weekend to start the floors. The floors look beautiful and we are so grateful that John and his team were willing to come on the weekends to finish up so that we could move in on time. John is very responsive over text, super reliable and very knowledgeable. We would hire again and will definitely share his information with anyone who needs to have their floors refinished!
John did a great job on my floor project. He's professional, communicative, and easy to work with. I'm impressed with both the quality and how fast he got the job done on time. Thank you!
John with Marks hardwood floors was incredible - I can't say enough positive about him- right on time, so hard working, project moved ahead right as planned (and stayed on track even when we found some surprises under the old wall to wall carpet), he kept me posted on progress and was always responsive. He is the best, he made my project so easy. He does hardwood floors and so much more. I have recommended him to so many people!!! Thank you John!! -Emily in Brookline (refinished hardwood floor in one room, wall to wall carpet removal in another room and repairing/refinishing that hardwood floor, wallpaper removal and painting a bathroom, replacing electrical switches)
