OUR TESTIMONIALS

    Absolutely amazing job. Jason came out and talked us through the process and what to expect, gave us a quote. As soon as the materials were ready, the crew (Austin & Grant) arrived right on time and got the job done. Kept us updated on what they were doing and what to expect. Will definitely have them out again to do more rooms in our home.

    Carter Quality Hardwood Flooring has helped me with two projects to repair and refinish my oak floors. The work was done when they said it would be done and the quality of the work was even better than expected. The crew was polite, clean, and respectful. I will use them again for sure.

    We had a fantastic experience working with Carter Quality Hardwood Flooring. Our neighbor recommended them and we couldn't be happier. We had our floor refinished after 20 years and it looks brand new.

    But even more important is the professionalism and integrity of the company. They treated our home like it was their own. That is a wonderful quality. Highly recommend.

    Called Carter floors to repair our wavy wood floors. Jason came and explained how moisture and humidity in our basement were affecting the entry level first floors. He even took the time to show me which product to order to monitor humidity levels. Talk about customer service!

    Once the humidity levels were under control, the floors were refinished. The crew did fantastic work. It has been over a year since the work was done and still everyone asks if we got new floors.

    We had such a great experience that we called Carter floors to complete work at our daughters house.

    Jason and his crew are highly skilled trustworthy professionals. We recommend them for your next project.

    We absolutely love the floors. Had new flooring installed and it matches the refinished floors perfectly. Everyone was so professional and conscientious. Austin did a great job and worked incredibly hard. Rob did a beautiful job around our stone fireplace. We couldn't be happier, we would use Jason and his crew again. Dean and Martha Y

    We recently had our floors refinished by Jason…WOW! What a difference. Start to finish it was a great experience. Great communication followed by great results. Austin and Austin did a fantastic job. They were professional and friendly. We really could not be happier. They sanded and our ash floors and finished with a bona matte craft oil. They look brand new. The system they use made the clean up a breeze…I was shocked at the small amount of dust. We highly recommended Carter Quality Floors! Thank you Jason!

    I just had new hardwood flooring put in the entire first floor of my house. Rob, Austin, Mike and Andrew were very professional and spent a lot time on the details. They were very timely with start and finish. Jason was also very professional with the quote and organizing of the job. I highly recommend them . When we have more flooring work, I will call Carter Quality Flooring.

    We used Jason Carter with Carter quality two times in the last 15 years. Both times we were out of town and gave him and his crew full access to our home. They are very trustworthy and honest. Their work is hands-down the best I’ve ever seen. JASON is very reasonable and his work is amazing. He has a great crew also. We just returned back from vacation and our house was clean and intact. The floors turned out beautiful. His crew kept us updated and sent us pictures of our beautiful floors. I would recommend this company to anyone anytime. Local company. Hard-working crew. Great family guy. He knows what he’s doing and has been doing it for many years. I would recommend Carter Quality floors to ANYONE!

    My experience with Jason and his team was extremely positive from start to finish. Jason was very informative and helpful during the estimate and made my decision to go with his company a no brainer. The work started on time, the guys were very professional, and the work was outstanding and finished on time. The job was for my foyer and office and I’m now going to have them do my living and dining rooms as I was so pleased with how it looks.

    We just completed our third job with Carter Floors. Each time we have had a different crew, however they all are outstanding and professional workers. This job was completed by Justin, Austin and Tim they did a outstanding job and were a pleasure to work with. As an example of their expertise they had to install flooring between two ends of the house, which they previously installed. The precision they used to match the flow of boards was marvelous! I heard a lot of algebra going on but we could not be happier with the results.
    If you want professionals that call you back, are on time and produce quality this is your team!
    One more thing no dust no mess the equipment they use left the house amazingly dust free!

    We had carpet removed and wood flooring installed, along with refinishing additional existing hardwood flooring to match. There was -zero- sawdust in the house afterwards and the floors look great. Jason's team are craftsmen - the way they talked to each other on the project - you can tell they took the details seriously, and that attention comes out in the finished product. The crew communicated with us multiple times during the day and throughout the week-long project. Will be using this company again when we rip out more carpeting...

    Jason and his crew did an amazing job whisking our 1970’s style flooring into the modern era! We tried on our own to lay vinyl tile, but it was a mess even after we watched countless videos. He always returned my text messages promptly and provided outstanding service! This is our second project with his company and we were very impressed. We will be using him again.

    I would highly recommend Carter Quality Hardwood Flooring. Jason is the owner, he is very knowledgeable and has a great staff. We had two bedrooms sanded and stained. Austin and Justin arrived every day on time, they were very kind, knowledgeable and professional. When they left for the day, everything was cleaned up spotless. Austin was able to match the stain perfectly with the rest of the house wood floors. I can’t say enough about this company and I would definitely use them again.
    Highly Recommend!!
