Modern Floors

Modern Floors is a commercial-leaning flooring contractor on Marshall Street in Somerville, and the interesting thing about it is who it works for: the company describes itself as self-performing, handling carpet, linoleum, VCT, ceramic tile and wood on residential, commercial and industrial projects across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut. It says its management team brings more than 50 years of construction experience. Public records list Jorge Chaves as the owner. The public review trail is thin and it doesn't agree with itself. Google shows a 5-star average, but from only two ratings; Birdeye reports 2.3 stars across six. That is not enough either way to say much about how the work turns out, and there is no permit history or review on BuildZoom to fill the gap. One thing to sort out before hiring: BuildZoom shows a Rhode Island Commercial Contractor license, number 31686, listed as active when last checked but also carrying an entry saying it was at one point cancelled. No Massachusetts license appears alongside it. If you are a contractor, facility manager or architect looking for a flooring sub on a commercial build-out, this is the kind of shop that profile fits. For a homeowner, ask for recent references and current, state-specific license and insurance certificates before signing anything.
