CNF Flooring & Tile

We have used Chris for several projects, including a first floor tile flooring job and a kitchen remodel. He is excellent at his craft. Even though our floor was uneven, he leveled it to install large-scale tile to be perfectly flat. For the kitchen remodel, he gutted the back of the house, moved walls, updated electrical and refinished the entire space. His work is without fault. He is timely, easy to have around and finishes the work in the given timeframe. We will use him for future projects knowing the work will be completed to the highest standard.

This bathroom was the third project that Chris Volkman, of CNF Flooring and Tile, had done for us. Prior to our bathroom reno, Chris completed a laundry room with a heated floor, and a half bath. We are consistently impressed by Chris' workmanship, attention to detail, communication skills and prompt completion of the projects once they were started. This bathroom began as a complete demo. All the plumbing, insulation and sheet rock were replaced prior to the tub installation and tile work. Chris completed the entire process in about a week, with minimal inconvenience to us. Chris worked with us to insure our satisfaction in the finished product. We are planning a complete kitchen redo next summer, and Chris will be the first call we make to discuss any design ideas the he might contribute.

I am remiss for not writing a review sooner! We hired Chris to remodel our master bath in 2017. He took it down to studs and created an amazing sanctuary (see photos under Marble Master Bath in Medford). 1 year later we had him back to renovate our guest bath and 1/2 bath along with replacing flooring in our kitchen, dining room and entry hall. This past spring he was back again, this time he transformed a dark, dingy, spidery laundry room in the basement into a light, bright oasis! Chris and his assistant Dario are the most competent, masterful contractors I’ve ever had the pleasure to engage. Their workmanship is impeccable and the results play that out. Chris is very responsive and responsible. He answers all questions and gives realistic estimates. We’ve been more than thrilled with the lovely improvements to our home. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for all renovation projects. Denise & Kevin Fox

We used CNF Flooring & Tile twice at are home at different times. The first was a bathroom remodel complete gut job. Chris came over gave us different ways to complete the project and gave us an estimate in a timely fashion. All the tile and sheetrock work came out perfect, started in the morning and put in full days in until job was completed. His crew cleaned up every day at the end of the day. We felt comfortable leaving the home to do errands. The second project was a kitchen remodel everything came out just as planned. We recommend CNF Flooring Highly to all are family and friends.

Chris repaired a shower base that was poorly installed from a previous contractor. Throughout the entire process, he was a professional who showed up on time, cleaned up after himself and was true to his estimates. The finished product was excellent and I was overall very pleased with his work. I would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

Chris and his team epitomize professionalism, dedication, hard work, punctuality, and attention to detail! If you are looking for a fair, honest, and all-around great team, look no further. From the start of our project, Chris was tremendously responsive and talked through all of our issues and questions with patience and cost/time saving ideas. When he started working I was immediately impressed by the conscientiousness, cleanliness, and punctuality of Chris and his team. They arrived at the same time every day and never stopped working. I was eight months pregnant at the time and we were trying to live through the renovations and he took great care to make sure the house was as clean and organized as possible for us. He also prioritized our project which I was so grateful for. He showed great flexibility cleaning and fixing up a very “scary” laundry room, and made our old beaten up wood floors look gorgeous! We could not be happier with the results and will be calling Chris for all of our future renovation needs! I recommend you do the same!!

Chris is a professional craftsman. He has done5 different projects for me and has excelled at each one. Would not use anyone but Chris on any project. Always get a professional well done job.

We have selected CNF Flooring for three separate projects in our home spanning 5-7 years. We continue to appreciate Chris Volkman's professionalism and meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of our projects. We originally asked Chris to install backsplash throughout our kitchen to match our countertops. Later, we redid the bathroom and Chris installed new shower tile and green board with a very nice subway tile pattern. In October, he and his associate installed new luxury vinyl flooring in our kitchen and replaced our 30 year old carpet in the three bedrooms and closets with new Mohawk wood flooring. We are more than thrilled with the new look of our house- it is like a new house! More than anything else, we felt Chris treated us and our home like family. We would not hesitate to recommend CNF to our neighbors, friends and family members! Outstanding work that will stand the test of time!

Chris Volkman of CNF Flooring is the best remodeling contractor that I've worked with over the course of the past 30 years. He is thoughtful in his preparation and planning; is methodical and logical in his implementation; has a thorough understanding of the materials and is a masterful craftsman. Chris worked with me and my architect this past year to renovate a 400 sq ft area of my home over the course of 2-3 months, and I got to know him, ask questions, and see the work progress in its entirety. Chris and his assistant were gracious and easy to work with, and they were careful to keep the remodel work from having a negative impact on our life in the rest of the house. There were no glitches in the project, and Chris was able to help me by fitting in a few additional small projects while working on the bigger remodel. The project included a conversion of a large bathroom and pantry into a new handicap accessible bathroom in an en-suite apartment for my 90 year old mother. We also added a powder room, laundry closet, and new pantry closet. In the main en-suite bathroom, we incorporated a beautiful Artistic Tile feature wall, NuTone radiant flooring, a steam shower, a Toto toilet with washlet, all new solid and wider doors, and a new slider door level to the exterior. We had to reroute plumbing, HVAC and rewire so this was a substantial rebuild, and Chris had good contacts with subcontractors. We are all very happy, and looking forward to working with CNF Flooring again next year to remodel two other bathrooms, and our basement !

Chris V. of CNF Flooring & Tile just finished a beautiful first floor renovation that included a renovated bathroom with handicapped features (roll in shower/curbless shower, grab bars, washlet toilet, etc), as well as a new powder room, and closet washer/dryer and he did an AMAZING job. I am an architect that specializes in Aging In Place (my company is Aging In Place Architecture PLLC), and my construction drawings are quite detailed. Chris V. was meticulous following the drawings, in creating the roll in shower/curbless shower that was needed (one of the hardest things to install in an existing home renovation,) as well as the installation of beautiful tilework, plumbing fixtures, vanity, etc. For high end (or mid to high end) projects that require precision, attention to detail, and a courteous experience with the clients, he's my go to contractor. His construction knowledge is a great asset in coming up with solutions to challenging existing conditions. It's great to find a contractor that can think with you, the designer, as well as the client to assist in coming up with seamless solutions to challenging existing conditions, and then install them so the end product exceeds the designers intent. He is the first general contractor that I have worked with in over 25 years that has actually followed my design documents fully. And my client was thrilled with the end product! The client also noted that her experience with his workmanship, professionalism, etc. was the best she had seen in the many renovation projects she has done over the last 35+/- years. Please note: the best way for Chris to do his job is to ensure that all building products are on the site and acclimatized. This prevents construction delays, etc.

I would give 10 stars if possible. I've used them several times with excellent results. Prompt, very reasonable. When they tell you they'll be there they are. They start the job and come every day till it's done. Chris and Dario know the business and it shows.!

Chris is the only contractor we will allow to work on our house. He was referred to us through a co-worker, after a dreadful experience with a different contractor, and we couldn't feel luckier that we hired CNF. Chris and Dario's craftsmanship is unmatched. This full first floor remodel is the third project CNF has done for us. He previously remodeled two full bathrooms for us. This project encompassed: new wood flooring throughout the first floor, moving a wall, full kitchen gut/redo, relocating: plumbing, electric and a window (which meant repairing siding - that looks seamless!), new lighting, painting, window/door trim, and ceiling replacement. We asked him to create a closet and replace six doors on the fly - no problem. The electric wiring in our house was a nightmare-puzzle filled with electrical hazards waiting to fail from the 1950s and he had to unexpectedly rewire so much of it - our price never changed and he walked us through every hiccup encountered along the way, offering us more than one solution. He communicates clearly, was always professional, stayed on budget and finished on schedule. He arrived on time - EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. - and left the space clean at the end of each day every time.
