I’m a contractor in NYC, where quality often comes at a great premium. The project I was working on was a gut reno, combining two apartments into one on the top floor of a brownstone. It involved completely tearing out the old floors down to the joists, building new sub floors - the whole thing. My design was for wide plank solid oak with a custom finish. When I found Hurst Hardwoods and placed my order for 7” unfinished white oak 1'-10’ planks I almost couldn’t believe how reasonable the pricing was. I was told by my floor installation guys that I should be very cautious as they knew all the good places that flooring came from and were not familiar with Hurst. After a phone call and several email exchanges with the company I decided to make my purchase. When I received the wood, it was beautiful and when the floors were put down the quality of the planks really came through. Excellent straight edges, only two pieces out of the entire order had small splits and had to be trimmed. My flooring guys were impressed and wanted the companies information. The floors are now finished and they are top-notcn, beautiful and better than I could have imagined, Also, I know after interacting with Craig personally that if there are any issues they are handled with integrity, honesty and speed - all values that you can’t put a price on. And, the things they can put prices on are more than fair. I recommend Hurst first!
