We recently had McLaughlin Flooring install engineered hardwood on the main level of our home as part of a renovation, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, Rick and his crew — Attila and Tamaz — were outstanding. Before even starting the installation, they took the time to properly prep the floors, ensuring the subfloor was level and clean so the final result would be absolutely perfect. That extra care and attention made all the difference. The installation itself was flawless. Every cut and seam is clean, and the transitions are seamless. The flooring looks stunning — it’s clear these guys are true craftsmen who take pride in their work. Rick was professional, responsive, and clearly knowledgeable, while Attila and Tamaz were courteous, efficient, and meticulous on site. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend McLaughlin Flooring for anyone looking for top quality work and a team you can trust.

Response: Hi Cameron…thanks so much for the kind words … good to know that you’re completely satisfied …enjoy the new look …Rick

Rick scheduled a mutually convenient appointment to review the work site and provide a written estimate. Attila and Tamas arrived at the scheduled date and time reviewed the worksite and provided a detailed quote. Upon acceptance of the quote Rick scheduled a mutually convenient date and time for the completion of the quoted work. Attila and Tamas arrived at the scheduled date and time, layed out floor runners, completed the work and cleaned up the job site prior to leaving the job site. A job well done. Very respectful and very professional. Thank you Rick, Attila and Tamas.

Couldn’t be happier with Rick and his crew. These guys take pride in their work…replaced flooring in entire home and stairs. They were always on time, cleaned up thoroughly after each day of work and the cost was very reasonable. I would not hesitate to use them again for any future flooring needs. Like finding a good mechanic or doctor…I’ve found my floor guy!

Look no further! Rick and his team are real professionals, he came and accurately measured everything, detailed all the job items priced individually, came prepared with matching color samples, offered a very competitive price and delivered on his commitment. They did install hardwood on the second floor and all the basement. Also, he brought Max to redo our stairs. Results are amazing!!

UPDATE 1.5 years later: Hardwood still looks and feels great. Barely any squeaking and only in the upstairs where we laid on top of the old subfloor. This would be a good result in a new house let alone a 100+ year old house with all the craziness they had to deal with. Thanks again Rick.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: We recently hired Rick and his crew to install new engineered hardwood throughout our 100+ year old home. From day one Rick was very straight forward with his quote and his advice. The floors were uneven and out of level and Rick made it very clear that although he does have a lot of experience working in older homes he could get it to be good, but not perfect. His quote was very detailed and scheduling the job was easy. Halfway through tearing up the old hardwood Rick calls me and tells me there’s an issue – turns out the old subfloor on the main floor, which was probably original, was in terrible shape and would need a complete replacement. Rick recommended we call in a carpenter to do this work and also make sure all the joists were in good shape. Luckily we found a great carpenter who was able to start the day after Rick’s team finished the upstairs. Rick worked with us to schedule the rest of the job immediately after the carpenter finished, which meant that we were still able to move in on time. Rick also came by to coordinate with the carpenter to make sure the hardwood would line up right with the kitchen tile, coordinate the vent size and heights, etc. If we had chosen to go with someone less experienced or flexible we could have been in real trouble, but Rick worked with us to get it done and did a terrific job. As others have said the work space was cleaned thoroughly (they even shop-vacced the heck out of the old subfloor to be removed) and they took care not to damage any walls etc. Great work all around.

Rick and his crew beautifully finished a hardwood job another contractor did not. It required ripping up old hardwood and laying down new hardwood in a hallway with multiple angles and matched all the rooms surrounding it. It was small, but complicated and we are thrilled with the results. Thanks, Mclaughlin Flooring!

I could not speak more highly of Rick and his team! I had been looking for a contractor after the dishwasher in my rental unit leaked and damaged all my floors. Rick was so incredibly professional, responsive, punctual and kind! Rick called me directly shortly after I had reached out to him. He scheduled a time with me the following day to see my condo and quote the job. Rick was so patient in explaining the entire process to me, he even came with me to meet with my property manager! The following week Rick and his team arrived at my unit to complete the job. They did an absolutely AMAZING job, my condo looked brand new! They were so respectful of the building rules, clean and meticulous. Look no further for a contractor, hire Rick and his awesome team!

Rick and his team installed engineered hardwood on my parent’s main and upper floors. They did a tremendous job. They are true professionals and my parents are really happy with the work they did. They also completed the job in the allotted time my parents were told. Rick is very responsive and knowledgeable about flooring and will answer any questions. His team are polite and addressed any issues or concerns my parents had. Rick also recommended Max refinish my parent’s stairway, which they did. I would highly recommend Max refinish anyone’s stairway. The work Max did on the stairway is immaculate. Max puts forth effort, care, special attention to detail and exemplifies a high level of professionalism. My parents are very happy with their stairway as a result. Overall, I would highly recommend Rick to install floors and Max to refinish stairs as they both do exceptional work.

I would like to commend Rick and company for a job very well done. Rick was very professional and polite in all our interactions, and always willing to answer our questions. He made sure the job was completed within the promised time parameters and the installers were efficient, professional and tidy. I am super pleased with the results and have already recommended him to friends.

Rick and his team did an amazing job with our floors. Our top floor looks completely different. Very top notch high quality work! They also corrected some water damaged tiles on our main floor and basement. Rick took very careful consideration to find tiles that matched the existing flooring. You cannot tell there was any damage. I am so happy with the quality of work and that he was able to complete the job on time as scheduled. I would highly recommend Rick and his team to anyone looking for top quality workmanship!
