Genuine reviews from homeowners across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley.
★★★★★
Russell transformed our old blackbutt floors. They had years of scratches from the kids and the dog, and now they look like new timber. He was on time every day and the dust containment was excellent -- barely any mess outside the work area.
★★★★★
We pulled up carpet in our 1920s home and found beautiful spotted gum underneath. Russell knew exactly how to bring it back. The grain and colour are stunning. He also fixed a few damaged boards we thought would need replacing. Could not be happier with the result.
★★★★★
Had Russell recoat and lightly stain our living area floor. He was upfront about what was realistic and what was not, which I appreciated. The finish is perfect -- even colour throughout and the Bona product he used dried with almost no smell.
★★★★★
Our front deck was grey and splintery after five years of salt air. Russell sanded it back beautifully and applied two coats of a tinted oil. He explained how to maintain it going forward, which was really helpful. The deck looks incredible now.
★★★★★
Russell did our entire upstairs -- hallway and four bedrooms. The floors were in rough shape with old varnish peeling off. He did three coats of polyurethane and the finish is rock solid. Two months in and not a mark on them. Professional job from start to finish.
★★★★★
We had new blackbutt installed and Russell did the sanding and finishing. Three coats of Bona Traffic HD in satin. The result is flawless. He was clear about curing times and gave us a care sheet so we know how to look after the floor properly.
★★★★★
The staircase was the most worn part of our house. Russell sanded and polished all fourteen steps and the landing. The edges are crisp, the finish is smooth, and the colour matches the rest of the floor perfectly. Detail work done right.
★★★★★
I manage a few rental properties and Russell has done three of them for me now. He is reliable, does clean work, and his prices are fair. Tenants always comment on how good the floors look. I would not use anyone else in the Hunter.
★★★★★
We wanted a lighter, coastal look for our lakeside home. Russell suggested the Bona Nordic Tone treatment and it is exactly what we were after. Light and airy without hiding the timber grain. He did a sample board first so we could see the colour before committing.
★★★★★
Our 1910 cottage had the original timber floors under layers of lino and paint. Russell carefully sanded them back without damaging the old boards. He filled every gap and the three-coat finish brought the timber back to life. A proper craftsman.
