Shine Star Hardwood Flooring

These guys did a great job with our floors. Really great communication and the on-site crew was very thorough and neat (very little dust left). Highly recommended!!

I had the privilege of working with a team of reliable men from Shine Star Hardwood Flooring. I was so impressed with how they walked me through the entire process and Celso and Max explained and assisted me with my project in such a professional manner. The men that worked in my home did an amazing job and my floors are simply beautiful. I cannot wait until we do my hard work floors on the second floor of my home in the spring. I recommended this company one hundred times over because they care for their clients. By the way a friend recommended them to me and they definitely delivered!!!!

The guys did a great job. The work was done as promised. They cleaned up after themselves when the job was completed.I would use them again.

they did a great job and the crew was very professional and easy to work with. Floors look great.

Celso is a genuine professional. Honest, respectful and has an eye for detail. He goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are happy. All of the men who worked on our project (entire house hardwood floor - refinish/replace) were punctual, neat and professional. From our initial phone call asking for an estimate to the final piece of furniture moved back into place - the entire experience was exceptional. It is rare to find professionals like Shine Star Hardwood.

Extremely satisfied with the results. Celso and his team were very transparent and communicative at every stage of the process. After redoing the hardwood and vinyl floors, our home has transformed and looks amazing. I particularly enjoyed that Celso gave honest opinions as we chose the finishes and decide how to modify the stairs. We will definitely use this service in the future and would highly recommend this service to anyone.

Great experience! We recently had Shine Star Flooring redo our floors. We wanted to use a lighter color, remove carpeting in some rooms, and generally brighten our Tudor. Celso and his team are excellent. They communicated effectively and did a fabulous job revitalizing our original floors—bonus points for leaving our home dust-free at the end of the project.

I just wanted to commend your team and your organization on your professionalism and quality product that you produced. Your team was courteous, professional and respective of my home. I could not have asked for a better vendor to work with!! I will happily give you all of the recommendations and reviews that I can!! Thank you again to a team that was on site and for the office team for all of your assistance. Looking forward to working with you again as we do additional floors in our home. Ainsley Phillips

Super satisfied with the work that your company did on the floor of my apartment, excellent service, for their punctuality, responsibility and way of satisfying our requirements. One hundred percent recommended.

We were thoroughly pleased with Shine Star Hardwood Flooring. We had our front hall and kitchen refinished. Since the house has an open concept the hardwood also ran into another hall plus a great living/dining room. We didn't want to do the whole thing . They did only the damaged floors and mixed the stain on site to match the remaining floors. We weren't quite satisfied with the semi-gloss finish so they added another coat of high gloss for us - no problem. They had sealed EVERYTHING so we had virtually no dust or mess when they finished. The men were professional, efficient and courteous plus we felt the price was very reasonable. They were recommended to us by a neighbor and we would definitely recommend then to others.

This is the second time I've used Shine Star, and could not be happier. They have restored original hardwood flooring in the living and dining rooms, installed LVT flooring in the kitchen, and repaired/replaced new hardwood stairs in the hallway. All were completed in the time frames suggested, and the workmanship is superior. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again for any future flooring projects.

Celso and team did a great job with the hardwood installation, sanding and staining of the existing hardwood floors. They also did the corrective work for the railing when we did not like the craftmanship on the railing.

Lorrany, Celso and team are awesome! Was such a pleasure working with them! They did exceptional work repairing and refinishing our wood floors. They're beautiful!

Wonderful experience! We had floors in our new home re-finished and some areas replaced, the team did an excellent job. Communication was easy, they were patient with all my questions and explained everything in detail. Everyone on the team was pleasure to work with, very hard working and meticulous!

Very pleased with Shine Star. The men did a fantastic job! They were very skilled professionals who took the time to make sure everything was done correctly, even underneath. They worked hard and didn't waste time and cleaned up meticulously. They patiently explained what they were doing each step of the way. I am amazed at their expertise and how they did the repair to the dining room floor boards and how perfectly they matched the stain on both areas of the living room and dining room. They were very nice, polite, conscientious and courteous. Tu tiene dos muy buenos trabajadores aqui! (You have two very good workers here!). Also, the kind and professional assistance I received from Loranny from my first call thru the end of the project was a tremendous help in the decision making process and completion of the job.

I've used Shine Star for several wood floor projects over the years, always with excellent results. They are courteous, professional ,answer any questions and do great work. Even when a miscommunication occurred, they were quick to rectify the matter to my satisfaction. Highly recommend!

Super professional and responsive team. Did great work on the floors (repaired original flooring more than 100 years old) and reinforcing loose banisters. Lorrany (who helps organize, bill, contract) was a total dream! Put up with all of my questions over call and email for a nervous first time home owner.

Great service from the initial meeting for quote, the team left my floor looking brand new. Highly recommend them !

This is my second time hiring Shine Star to install flooring in my home. There are many convenient ways to make payment. What I further appreciate is the upfront pricing, no hidden fees, what they quote you is what it is. Secondly, they are on time and lastly, the workmanship is flawless. I highly recommend Shine Star.

Started and finished on time. Kept to the budget. Amazing workmanship and attention to detail. Removed carpets, repaired & refinished 100 year old floors, moved furniture, replaced toe molding & eliminated the squeaky stairs. Thrilled that we chose Shine Star.

Celso, Wilson and techs did a fantastic job installing hardwood flooring in our home. We are very pleased with the job and would highly recommend Shine Star Hardwood Flooring.

Working with Shine Star Flooring was a great experience. Our floors were in a very bad state but Celso was very proficient and he knew what to do to salvage the floors and make them look like brand new. Also, he was very professional and ensured he understood what we wanted. His service was top notch. I recommend him wholeheartedly!!!!

Quality work and really professional. Worked diligently with us until we found the right hardwood based on our needs. Craftsmanship for flooring was excellent. Came on time and cleaned afterwards regularly. Highly recommend for all flooring projects.

I’m writing with the highest possible recommendation for Shine Star. Our project completed yesterday after the team worked 6 consecutive days, gave me Sunday off, and then came back Monday for finishing touches and a walkthrough. The job was to replace original floors from 1906 that presented a number of challenges, some of which other vendors bidding the work told would not be possible to address. Specifically meeting the new tile kitchen floor on level, without a transition. (If you have not already done a partial job on a single level of your home, do it all at once! I live and learn) I felt like Shine Star understood me, the house, and the project better than any of the other bidders. They came in and evaluated the job the way I had been after staring at it for 8 years. It was going to be a lot of work and it was going to be amazing when it was done. They recommended stunning options for flooring and came by for a few visits while estimating to make sure they felt the choice would work given the challenges. I’m working from home, which was not great for this, but if someone has to tear your house apart while you are on zoom calls, these are the people you want doing it. Everybody that was in my house was easy to be around, respectful and cool. I had a strong feeling, being with them all day, that everyone involved really cared about the house and the way the work turned out. All that and they showed up at 8A everyday and worked like monsters. On financial matters: Some of the best and most difficult advice I’ve received as the owner of a 100+ year old house is not to go with the low bid. Shine Star was the highest number in this case, but I believe I paid a fair price for very skilled work and beautiful materials. And remember...I think they were the only ones who took the time to really understand the job. We completed without overages and the result is beyond what I thought would be possible in this house. Sorry about the photo...painters come next week but you get the idea! Thanks for reading.

My family and I are incredibly happy with the work Shine Star did for us. They transformed our condo with old carpet into what looks like a brand new home. They provided fast turnaround, good pricing, and beautiful detailed work. Recommend them highly!

We have used ShineStar on many projects over the last 8 years. They offer amazing service, attention to detail, and always make sure that everything is done perfectly. I can’t say enough good things about them! - Brian

My husband and I had our floors done this past January and they are spectacular to say the least. I absolutely loved the professionalism and attention to detail of Celso and his team. Whenever I had a question or concern, his secretary Lorrany was quick and delightful. If there was any issue, Celso was always quick to resolve it the most efficient way. It is hard to find a company nowadays that care about your floors and the outcome as much as we do. Will recommend to everyone. Very happy clients.

A friend referred this company to us. Shinestars quotes came in lower then other companies and I regret using them. A well managed business has the owner or the manager on site checking in on the work. In our case, he was not present for the majority of the job and rarely checked in which led to irresponsible mistakes by the workers. I had new wood floors installed and existing floors sanded and stained. New floor installation is decent - some uneven areas that have large gaps. The poly across the entire downstairs is lifting and peeling - doesn’t appear he used the higher end finish I paid for/enough coats since everything is peeling and lifting now. I have to have a another company come in for $2000 to rebuff and poly the floors. Other issues we experienced: to power the sander they opened up my electrical box in basement without asking and rigged it to plug the machines in. as a result, blew the fuse and didn’t check to make electric was back on which resulted in the refrigerator being off, etc for more than 12 hours. After we brought this to Celsos attention, he reminded his guys to make sure the electric was back on. The next day, the fridge had no power (again) and water was pooled infront of the fridge on the newly sanded floors which resulted in the floorboards needing to be replaced. The replacement of the floorboards were not done properly because after 2 months, the wood was soft, wavy and lifting from the rest of the wood. When I called Celso to ask if he can come fix, he said he would stop by. Celso did not show up to look at the issues - instead, he sent two workers with minimal English to do the job. When the floors were completed, I noticed they did not match the rest of the floors - the workers used the wrong finish (shiney, instead of satin). the company returned to my home to fix the work for a third time and it still doesnt look right. I’m paying another company to help me fix my floors. It’s unfortunate because the floors still don’t match and this was a result of shine star ruining them. Once I brought my concerns about the ruined floors to celso attention, he agreed to install vinyl in the laundry room. However, once celso “fixed” the floors infront of the fridge he asked for the $500 for the vinyl installation, however, the woods floors are still not fixed and were a direct cause of his company. If the communication was more clear, between myself and Celso (by documenting via email) and Celso and his workers - some of these issues could have been resolved. Document everything via email if you use this company. Wilson was the only person throughout this entire process who seemed to care about the work being done and he was a pleasure to work with during the few interactions I had with him.

Very happy with our experience with Shine Star, and the flooring installation in our home this month. The crew was punctual each day, and pleasant, professional, and hard-working throughout. Floor looks great!

We used this company to refinish and repair 100+ year old hardwood floors. They did a superb job. They were punctual and neat, very professional.

We replaced our hardwood floors, renovated our kitchen, replaced molding etc with Shine Star. They were great. Highly recommend them!

Excellent work. The floor looks great. The team that did the work was efficient, neat and extremely professional. Outstanding customer service all around. Would highly recommend Shine Star to anyone.

Great price, performed terrific work, professional. Floors came out beautiful, had 1 blemish and their team made quick repair. Would use them again

Shine Star recently completed a major flooring project for us involving carpet removal throughout our house and double stairway, installation of pre-finished flooring in 5 bedrooms, hallway, family room and spare room, plus staining existing cherry floors on the first level to match the new flooring, stairway treads and installing new balusters. It was challenging to get the stain just right but Celso, Lorrany and their crew were phenomenal and they patiently worked with us until it was right. We are so glad we went with the best in the business considering our extensive project because they did not disappoint! They were extremely professional throughout the process and the hard working crew showed up as scheduled and on time, performed their job very skillfully and cleaned up at the end of each work day. Celso was always willing to answer any questions and address any concerns along the way and he and the team made sure we were satisfied with the final result. Also, their pricing was very reasonable and fair. Our floors and stairs looked amazing and we are so happy with the results. We highly recommend Shine Star.

It was a very good experience working with Shine Star Flooring. They were prompt and accommodated my schedule. The job they did was excellent - installing hardwood floors and staining all the flooring. Highly recommend their services.

We loved working with Shine Star Flooring! They refinished our 100 year R&Q White Oak floors while we were away. They moved all of our furniture without incident, did the floors and moved everything back - it was as if nothing had happened except our gleaming beautiful floors. Prompt and professional, we loved working with the team.

Extremely satisfied with the refinishing of my hardwood floors. Crew was reliable, courteous and left the area cleaned up. This was my second experience with this company and on both occasions was very pleased.

Shine Star did a great job refinishing our almost 100 year old oak floors. Great communication and professionalism. I would use them again.

Celso, Lorrany, Wilson and all of Celso's Staff were exceptional. They were professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. In over 40 years of home ownership we have undertaken many projects - all were less than enjoyable. This is the first time everything went smoothly according to schedule, cost and results. Easy to see why they came so highly recommended. we were undecided about doing our floors up until the last minute - Celso and SS made our decision positive. Very reliable, professional and personal attention! Thank You!

Shine Star made the experience of getting my floors sanded, stained and replacing the banister and spindles so smooth. They are professional and very attentive. Communication was extremely efficient, they made sure they addressed all my concerns. Thank you Celso! Update, I thought the floors in the living room would blend in more but they didn’t. They could have matched the floor contrast/tone a bit better.

Shine Star provided incredible work. They were very fast to respond, always communicative and punctual and efficient. The floors turned out gorgeous. We would definitely recommend them for anyone renovating their wood floors.

The team from Shine was brilliant in every aspect of the work. Timeliness, quality of work, attention to detail, cleanliness and making sure that they leave no stone unturned to deliver a delightful experience. They also gave recommendations based on their past projects what worked and what is realistic for the kind of flooring I had . Would recommend them to anyone embarking on new floor project or renovating / refreshing their floors

I Work long hours and I can’t supervise any project in my home. What a peace of mind gave them the keys and they made sure the job was done correctly and fast. My floors was worn and they brought it back to life. Amazing work you won’t be disappointed. Thank you again Pahlevi García

This is the second job shine star has done for me. They are extremely professional and punctual. The work is super clean and meticulous. The way they work with you about scheduling is second to none. I would recommend them to anyone looking for new installations, repair and remodeling

It was a pleasure working with the Shinestar on our flooring project. They did a great job in fixing some of the squeaky floor boards, replacing our treads, stair rails, spindles, posts and sanding and staining our floors. From the quoting process until the very end, Lorrany and Celso have been very patient and timely with their response. They worked with us to try to find the best solution for our home with a reasonable turn around. It was important that everything get done before our son's birthday. They quoted us a two week project but they were finished within a week and a half. I was especially thankful to Lorrany who was very patient with us and very responsive with our emails and phone calls. The quality of the work was great and we would be happy to hire them again for any other flooring projects in the house. Hermela

Celso and his team at Shine Star just finished renovations at my home. They remodeled two bathrooms and put hardwood floors throughout. They were professional, patient, always prompt and very meticulous. The detailed design I desired for the bathroom tiles took extra time and precision. And, the finished product is amazing. Our home looks like it's brand new. We couldn't be happier. There's no other company I'd trust in the future if and when we decide to do any further upgrades. Shine Star is a STAR! If I could give more than five stars, I would do so.

This company is top notch. Besides doing a great job for a reasonable price they have excellent customer service and work in a timely fashion.

I have already recommended Shine Star to others! The professionalism of the staff and the quality of the job completed are two elements which are often overlooked today. We are beyond happy with our 100 year old floors!!! Can’t wait to get the rest done!

I had used Shine Star Hardwood Flooring to refinish the hardwood floors in my old house before we put it on the market (May 2016). The floors were so beautiful, I kicked myself that I had not had them refinished sooner so I could enjoy them. My current home had two rooms of an addition with wall-to-wall carpet. The master bedroom's was white. After four years in the house, I could not take the maintenance of the white carpet and decided to have hardwood put in. I decided to have the other room with carpet done as well which meant having some white ceramic tile ripped out and the hardwood installed there as well. The entire project took about six days. The workers used masks and we were socially distanced. I had arranged for the work before the stay-at-home order was in place and was pleased that Shine Star was willing to continue with safety precautions. The floors are beautiful and I am so glad I had the work done! Neat, clean, worked quickly!

Selso and his crew were fantastic. They expertly repaired and refinished the oak floors in several rooms of our 130-year-old Victorian. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our new floors. We expect to use Shine Star again soon to do the remaining rooms. I highly recommend them.

Shine star did an amazing job redoing hardwood floors in three rooms plus a hallway and stairs that were carpeted! I put the project off for years because I was worried about the mess but it wasn’t bad at all! They were very professional, fast and I couldn’t be happier. Can’t believe I waited so long to do it.

Amazing company very honest and clean. I would recommend this company to everyone that has a project to have their wood floors restored. They also do an amazing job on tiles.

We could not be happier with our floors! Our house is over 100 years old and the floor install was not an easy task! The crew was amazing to work with, very professional and accommodating to our schedule. They worked fast and always arrived on time. Everyone was knowledgeable and pleasant and it could not have gone smoother. Celso worked with us to stay on budget and timeline. Would recommend these guys OVER and OVER again. They spent an entire day at the end of the job to ensure everything was clean and dust free. Really such an important thing to us as we have small children! Thank you again to Celso and his team- they did an amazing job.

I’d highly recommend Shine Star after they did an amazing job restoring my floors. The situation was grim - my floors are about 100 years old and suffered from decades of abuse - including a previous restoration that was poorly executed. Shine Star expertly reversed all the damage - the results far exceeded my expectations. Check out the before and after pics! Additionally - working with Celso and Lorrany was an absolute pleasure.

Very friendly and professional staff, they take pride in their work which is hard to find these days, clean and meticulous, would highly recommend them!!

The Shine start Floors team was super professional from start (given us a quote) to finish ( polishing our home’s floor). We’re giving them 110% and 10 stars. We do recommend them 100%

They were timely, worked quickly and thoroughly. Our floors look great! And, I couldn't believe that there was no dust.

Celso and his team did a tremendous job with all of the projects we requested - sand/refinish floors to match the color of other hardwood floors in the house; replaced carpeting with engineered wood over cement that also matched the look of the rest of the house. They worked very efficiently and the final product looked great. They also followed up to make sure we were satisfied with everything and touched up a few very minor marks that were in the wood, leaving everything in perfect shape. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get floor work done, no matter what the project is.

I will hardly recommend this company to anybody that ask or anybody I know needs a new floor or floor repair. Celso is a wonderful person and a great business person to work with, he always had an answer with any question, he really knows how to make business and how to treat his customers.. we absolutely love the finished work, we couldn’t ask for more.. This company was recommended to us by our real state agent we can’t thank her enough we are very happy..They are very reliable and just get the job done.. We have not complaints!!!!

They put new flooring in three bedrooms and a living room, and refinished a stairwell. They were so honest that when they found some hidden money from 40 years ago under a carpet they gave it to me. The job was done quickly and excellent. I thank them wholeheartedly.

Having Shine Star Floorng refinish our floors was a wide decision. The workers are truly professional, clean and responsive. We are totally satisfied with their work on our 105 year old wood floors. We fully recommend them for any project.

Shine Star arrived on the scheduled days. The crew worked hard to complete the installation of my wood floor. Although they ran into some problem areas in my home, they were able to resolve the issues. Upon completion of the job, they thoroughly cleaned the area they were working in. A job well done!!

Shine Star repaired and refinished the flood floors in our 80 year old house. Their work is excellent---prompt, professional, and high quality. Owner, Celso, is responsive and worked within our budget. Highly recommend.

Shine Star was great. Our floors look gorgeous and like brand new. They were responsive and always on time. I highly recommend using Shine Star!

Hired to do herringbone floor in dining/living room. Gorgeous! Hired the following month to do two bedrooms; same result. Expensive, but I’m happy with projects. Workmen were punctual every single day and cleaned up after themselves.

I recently had my hard wood floors refinished by Shine Star and the work was done in a timely manner and the floors look beautiful. I have received so many compliments on them. When I enter my house after a hards day work I now enter with a smile on my face. The Shine Star folks are nice and they take feedback well and more importantly are very accommodating.

Celso and crew were amazing! Everything was perfection from start to finish! We are so happy with the final project! I highly recommend Shine Star.

We just demolished our kitchen in preparation for a new one, discovering that our floors were gross underneath & looked as if they had water damage here & there. My husband upon seeing the mess assumed it would all need replacing. We hired Shine & all I can say is I think they are using magic because the results were truly unreal. Amazing work, easily met our time constraints & were very professional in every way.

I recently used Shine Star Hardwood Flooring and could not be more pleased. The owner showed up when he said he would to give me an estimate and his workers showed up up they said he would. In addition, the workers were polite and responsible and did a great job. After pulling up old carpeting, they pointed out areas where there was no wood or large holes had been drilled into the floor and promptly repaired and/or replaced those pieces and did so perfectly and for a reasonable price. I went out on a whim and hadn't done much research prior to hiring Shine Star Hardwood but am glad that I did! I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Shine Star Hardwood Flooring was recommend to me by an architect friend. The company installed new hardwood floor for my first floor, refurbished second floor and stair landing, etc. The job was professionally done with high quality, reasonable price, and courteous and efficient customer service - no matte it is in person or in phone calls. I am very happy with the company and highly recommend.

We had some cracked/damaged wood sections of our floor, and they repaired this by replacing the damaged boards and sanding/staining those boards to match what we have. They did a really great job and it is hardly noticeable at all. I was impressed with their work and happy with the cost. I would recommend to anyone.

This contractor provides what you are looking for. Answers your calls and emails, arrives on time, sends polite workers, and stays within the estimate.neat and clean job at a fair price..

Just had my 30 year old hardwood floors refinished with a new stain... When I called the office to arrange an estimate, Lorrany was warm and welcoming... The owner, Celso Leniar, came by and gave me a fair estimate... His crew, Kaio, Shelly, and Luis, arrived on time and put in full days... Left them with the key and days later when I returned after the job was finished, the floors were like new... and the place was immaculate... No surprises... Just a first-class work product and service!

Shine Star fixed two small areas of our hardwood floors, which involved removing and replacing the damaged sections and staining. We can’t even see where the old floor ends and the new floor begins. Stellar work!

Shine is a very professional company to work with. Easily accessible and prompt communication, flexible on schedule and accommodating completing the work to my satisfaction.

I can attest to the wonderful job Shine Star did on sanding and re-finishing my living room and kitchen wood floors! Celso and Lorrany were extremely helpful and patient throughout the whole process and went above and beyond with flexible scheduling around our needs. I could not be happier with the final product and you can tell Shine Star takes great pride in their work! Dave

I hired shine start to refinish our floor and they were great. They did a fantastic job and very good price. Will definitely use them again when needed.

Celso and his team of incredible craftsman are not only good at what they do... they make your life easier. Responsible... clean and caring is what you get when you use Shine Star. - I have used them 4 times and each time is better than the next. - Trust Shine Star... I did. - Greg

My experience with Shine Star Hardwood was nothing shy of exceptional. They were knowledgeable,professional and very pleasant. My wife and I felt our concerns were listened to and customer satisfaction was key. I will recommend this company to any one who needs flooring.

WOW, what a great job Celso and his crew did. Ran into a view setback's when changing out Polished Porcelain Tile with mud under it and then cement board and holy cow a laminate floor under that. No problem for Shine Star. After removing all of that and installing a beautiful wood floor the saddle's in the doorways were to high. Again, no problem for the experienced Wilson and his crew to make it look great and matched. Also had our master bedroom wood floor sanded and finished. We wanted them to match the pre-finished harwood floors that came with the house, again a perfect match. We also wanted to put tile in the small foyer and they did a great job. They were here for about 4-5 days and my wife was amazed as to how clean a job they did...no dust anywhere. We're very happy with the quality of the workmanship for all the job's they did and the courteous hardworking crew they have who overcame all of the hardship's this job through at them.

I hired Shine Star to buff and re-coat my hardwood floors. They did an outstanding job. Not only did my floors come out amazing, they re-located a full room of large and heavy furniture without so much as a scratch on my walls (my house is newly painted so I was concerned at first) and put everything back in the same exact location. Amazing level of detail and care in every aspect of the job. I highly recommend them!

We had Shine Star refinish the floors in our Maplewood home. They did a great job (& didn't try to tell us that they couldn't be re-finished, like another contractor did), got the work done on time and their pricing was very reasonable.

The men were very helpful and professional. They came on time daily abs left the area clean. The floors are beautiful and I highly recommend than.

The company I work for has been working with Shine Star Flooring for almost 10 years but only recently required their services for my own home. Besides doing an absolutely beautiful job with my hardwood floors, the crew was professional, kind and extremely neat. I would recommend them again and and again and feel extremely reassured that my company has been employing the right contractor for all these years. Five Shine Stars to these guys!

Had hardwood floors installed in several rooms. Celso also was able to stain my original hardwoods to the new ones he installed and they matched perfectly. Great job. Looks great. Very flexible. They also worked quickly, done in 5 days.

Came highly recommended and lived up to the expectations. Quality was great as was responsiveness of the company from beginning to end of refinishing the hardwood in three rooms.

Celso and his team were great to work with. When I first reached out to Shine Star an estimate was scheduled within a few days and Celso arrived right on time. He went through the house with me and I showed him the flooring that we wanted refinished. He was very patient and got back to me with a quote within a few days. The team worked from Monday through Thursday and we were able to take a look at the floors on Friday. They look fantastic! We didn't have to replace any wood and we've already received many compliments on the floors from family and friends. We had our floors sanded and finished with oil poly. The cost of the project was very competitive and the process from start to finish was very easy. We are very happy with our floors and will be using Shine Star again for the rest of our house.

We are extremely happy with job Selso and his team did. They transformed an entire level of floors in our new home. Selso is professional and walked us through the entire process, giving suggestions as to our desired stain and finish options. He also installed a new bannister. His team was thorough, timely and clean/organized, leaving our home as it was found without a dusty mess left behind. In addition, he did this all at a reasonable price. I would not hesitate to use him in the future and would highly recommend him.

Wonderful experience getting the entire first floor of our new house buffed and polished. Professional and friendly service. Would definitely recommend to others.

Celso refinished our floors last fall. We requested that he take them from a light pine color to a dark color to match our mantel. He was communicative and professional throughout. I would use his services again.

Trustworthy, fast, neat, thorough and very knowledgeable and personable. Very professional written communication, i.e. estimate. Highly recommended. Thank you Celso.

I have had Shine Star on two occasions. One was a older home that was going on the market and the other was my home. The floors were restored in both homes beautifully. They were professional and reasonable. I would highly recommend.

We hired Shine Star to install new hardwood floors in our master bedroom and playroom. We also wanted to lighten the stain of our entire first floor, so they refinished & repaired (where needed) our great rm, living, dining rm, foyer and kitchen. They also customized flush mount floor vents which look so seamless. Celso and his team did an amazing job and were easy to work with. We were getting our walls painted at the same time, but they coordinated timing and did not get in each others way. We still have the upstairs of our home to renovate, so we will certainly hire Shine Star again.

Shine Star came on time The crew were very professional, polite and extremely neat. They were so accommodating to all my questions and concerns. Everything was removed and/or covered and then replaced exactly where it was originally. My floors turned out beautiful! I couldn't be more pleased. I would highly recommend Shine Star as you will not be disappointed,

We were so happy with the job that Celso and his team did installing our checkerboard floor. They were on time, worked quickly, and took care to minimize mess. Thank you so much!

I would highly recommend Shine Star for any flooring project They are fantastic! They did a great job on my floors on our Seaside Park, NJ home. We love how efficient, neat and nice they were. They did a wonderful job on the littlest details where I think other companies would not have. They more than met our deadline and budget. With the help of Celso (owner) we picked out the perfect flooring and color. Again, I would highly recommend them.

I hired Shine Star to refinish two floors of hardwood in my new home. They were also tasked with pulling up a stair runner and carpeting in four bedrooms. Celso and his team were very professional and made some recommendations that really transformed the house. After the project was completed they even arranged a follow-up appointment because I had a few questions. Celso and his entire team were very responsive. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Shine Star.

good verbal follow up. nice professional work. Ceslo is good. his workers could have cleaned up a little better but overall happy with job

Shine Star refinished the entire first floor of my home's oak floors. The floors were not maintained for twenty years and were in bad shape. In four days Shine Star made my floors look better than new. The Shine Star team provided a very high level of customer service by keeping me up to date on daily progress and moving furniture very carefully to avoid any damage. I was very impressed by the high level of craftmenship, cleanliness and quality in their work. My floor's were refinished ahead of schedule and on budget. I was very pleased with Shine Star work and would recommend them very highly. Really an Excellent Job!

Totally professional. Have used Shine Star numerous times over the years to refinish / repair 100-year-old wood floors. Always on time, expert work, floors look beautiful. Workers are trustworthy and always respectful of home. Can leave them alone in house to get job done. Also always available after job to correct anything needed. I highly recommend them.

Shine Star flooring replaced the wall-to-wall carpeting in our master bedroom with a hardwood floor to match the other rooms in our condo unit. We then had the room freshly painted. Both the flooring and the painting were done very professionally. The flooring crew was top-notch. The parquet floor they installed looks stunning. They kept the bedroom door closed while they were working to minimize the noise (they had to use a saw on a number of tiles) and to keep the dust from dispersing. The floor is large and took about a day-and-a-half to complete. The guys cleaned up completely after the work was done (including removal and disposal of the carpeting). The painting crew was also first-rate. They protected the new floor from any splatters, and walls, ceiling, and doors were painted to perfection. With priming and painting, this took about a day-and-a-half. They also cleaned up completely after the work was done. We are very happy to have found Shine Star and recommend them highly.

We were very happy with Shine Star. Celso returned my call and came to evaluate the job very promptly. He was very accommodating to our schedule, even with a change to the original plan. The floors look beautiful and we would definitely recommend Shine Star and would not hesitate to use them again.

this company is very professional .we are very happy with the results .did not make a mess in our home cleaned up when they were finished. would definitely recommend this company to have your floors done. . jay & donna Maplewood , N.J>

I recently move from Livingston NJ to Port Monmouth, The new residence had carpeting throughout and we wanted hardwood floor. Our first thought went too Shinestar as they had previously done an excellent job on the floors we had put in in Livingston. Celsar came to the new house, gave us a reasonably quote and 2 days later his crew was at the house. They did a fantastic job and were very professional. They removed the old carpeting and took any and all debris with them. I would highly recommend Shinestar flooring to anyone who is considering having hardwood floors installed.

Shine Star Hardwood Flooring is one of the best in the business! I am the owner of Vision Construction Services LLC, and have worked with Shine Star on both residential and commercial projects. Shine Star is not only extremely professional but also very reliable! They show up on time and prepared for any job that I throw their way. I would highly recommend Shine Star Hardwood Flooring for all of your flooring needs!

We have called on Shine Star on three occasions in two homes. They have restored the hardwood flooring in one home and then returned to install in an adjoining area providing a seamless look. We were confident when we hired them again for a new home installation. Each time, they delivered their professional and quality service and we have received many compliments on their workmanship. We are building again and will be happy to welcome Shine Star and their courteous and professional crew to our new home.

Celso Leniar from Shine Star Hardwood Flooring came through for us in a pinch. Our booked hardwood floor installer canceled at the last minute during our 8-week gut renovation project. They were to install the floors over the course of 3 days but canceled by text days before the install date, Labor Day weekend. We had to scramble to get a new installer and found Celso through the retailer where we bought out Somerset flooring, Vanwoods (Adel). We checked reviews and booked an estimate date. He gave us an initial $2.50 psf price without seeing the space and made plans to visit the site the following week, after Labor Day. The quote ended up being $3.50 psf to glue the tongue and groove flooring for approx. 700 sq ft plus $1,050 to demo, remove trash and patch the existing floor. I received a contract by email from his office and we were all set with payment due after completion. We hired Celso and he showed up that Saturday, early and ready to work with a crew of 5 to get the job done in 1 day, but the site wasn’t ready due to our contractors delays. The kitchen was to be installed (minimum base cabinets) and the site was to be ready for flooring. It was nowhere near ready with debris covering the floors, materials covering the floor and the island wasn’t installed (still wasn’t installed until nearly a week later - 8.5 weeks into an 8 week project). Celso and my GC spoke and I later learned that the GC wanted the crew to hang out while they moved everything around, from side to side. The GC only had 1 guy with him. Celso had to leave with the crew and they had no more dates open for September. Although we didn’t get to use Shine Star, I have recommended Celso to all of our neighbors since we keep a list of preferred contractors in our google group. I am confident that he would have gotten the job done for us, professionally and in 1 day. Our GC got the floor installed, but not without problems due to not patching the concrete floor in some spots (until I forced the issue and had underlayment taken up) and initially using carpenter’s glue instead of tongue and groove adhesive.

The guys at Shine star just finished installed 1800 sft of an exotic Brazilian walnut engineered floors across my entire house. I couldn't have been more happy with the quality, professionalism and expertise these guys have in terms of hardwood floors. I will highly recommend them to anybody looking for a stress-free experience and for top notch quality of work and service. Again..thank you so much for the work..The guys are simply gorgeous :)

My husband and I have a lot of questions... and I mean a lot, especially since we have radiant heating. We did a ton of research and discovered a lot of contractors have no clue what type of wood that should be used for radiant heating. We would mention rift and quarter sawn and they looked at us like we had three heads; not Celso. He started explaining rift and quarter sawn and the expansion and a bunch of other information that the majority of the other contractors had no clue. We knew he knew his stuff. Celso answered every question with much patience and knowledge. We need to thoroughly understand the process and Celso essentially walked us through it. His workers were very cognizant of what they were doing and were very neat and clean (big deal for us). They completed the project within the time frame they stated and within the price (very competitively priced). Celso's recommendations made our floors, steps, and railings look great: from the style of the railings to the two tone stains on the floors and railings (which I would never ever consider; I'm more a uniform tone type of gal). Complete professionals, great price, quality work - highly recommended. I do not have photos because we still have renovations going on and I did not want to take pictures with drop cloths all around! Either way, came out beautiful and we would highly recommend Celso and his guys!

We were very happy with the Rubio finish., My floors were in very bad condition and they look like new today! I highly recommend this company. They are very professional.

Celso and his team did a tremendous job on our home. We bought a 100-year-old fixer-upper in Maplewood and put new floors in the first and second floors. He worked with our fast time frame and was very respectful of the other crews working as well as our family. I cannot say enough good things about the beautiful work he did and how kind and patient he was with us as timelines changed, and he had to be flexible. I am recommending him to all our friends. In fact he was so good that our contractor asked for his number so he could recommend him to other people. He also came back to take care of all the small, meticulous items we requested. Excellent team and the pricing was very competitive.

Celso Leniar and his entire staff at Shine Star Flooring are fantastic to not only work with but also in the quality of their work. I had new hardwood floor put in family, had to match colors that previous owner had two different colors, and had a new stairway(railing, posts, spindles) installed. The craftsmanship and customer service was excellent - will use again when needed. Highly recommend you use Shine Star if you are in NJ!

I highly recommend Shine Store Flooring for both installation of new and refinishing of existing hardwood flooring. I have worked with them in two different homes. Their service is top-notch and their team is curteous & neat. The owner cares about their work and has integrity.

Wonderful and reliable service at a very good price: I used this company over 10 years ago for my office, and the floors still look great. I recently had a small window of opportunity to remove carpet and install new hardwood flooring in an apartment. Celso came to the rescue. He squeezed the job in on time, and the apartment has been transformed. I would highly recommend Shine Star!

Recommended by my real estate agent. Sanded & stained floors, also installed wood floors that matched others perfectly. Excellent, beautiful work. Extremely professional, reliable, and efficient. Cannot more highly recommend.

Celso and his staff were fantastic. We hired him to stain and install new hardwoods floors and they turned out great. Celso always answered my calls and my questions and his prices were reasonable

Shine Star was extremely professional and knowledgeable. They refinished all the hard wood floors on my main level and stairs, tiled my bathroom and kitchen backsplash as well as assisted in my bathroom renovation. They were also extremely helpful in the design process. We were very satisfied in the result and a great company to work with.

Extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional service. Project was delivered on time, with very high quality. The crew was always very careful of not damaging walls. Final cost was according to the initial estimate.

Shine Star is absolutely wonderful. I had my entire house 3,000 + sq feet of hardwood replaced. We tiled our kitchen as well....They did beautiful work, were clean, curtious and helped us every step of the way. 100% satisfied!

Shine flooring has installed both wood and vinyl flooring in my home and office. The company is professional, well trained and do an excellent job. I would recommend them without reservation.

Celso is an incredible craftsman. Absolutely beautiful work on our floors. Work was done in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Could not have asked for more. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting amazing floors. Thank you Celso.

I have had hundreds of jobs completed on my home, businesses and investment properties over the years. Let me tell you, Shine Star Flooring is the most professional and honest company I have come across. Celso, the owner, is as fair as they come. He described the requirements for a large job he completed for me and didn't miss a beat. The hard wood floors exceeded my expectations and that is why I have already referred him to anyone I know who wants quality work. He even completed the job a day earlier than he had promised. Now tell me--- what contractor that you know has ever done that!!!! Thank you very much Shine Star. I'll see you guys at my next project. Dr. Med D.

We have used shine star for multiple jobs. They are amazing. Celso is extremely professional, very reasonably priced, honest and trustworthy. I went on vacation for a week and returned to a beautiful new kitchen and bathroom from floors to cabinets they did a wonderful job. He takes pride in the excellent quality of work and the entire process was smooth sailing. They arrived on time, never had to chase him down, planned the job well and got it all done with no issues on time! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the job was taken care of and returned to a beautiful upgrade!! I have recommended them to all my friends and family!! Excellent work we are already planning our next project for them.

Refinished 100 year old stairs which had carpet Significantly reduced squeaking stairs Completed job in less than 2 days with no mess

hey did very good and professional job for us. The quality of material and cost are very effective. Thank you very much.

Shine Star did a fabulous job on our hardwood floors. They removed the carpeting on the two main floors of our house and refinished them. They did a great job on repairing damaged wood and replacing and matching the design so that it looks like the original. They were very clean and 'dustless'. We appreciated how quickly they worked so we could get back into our house. Our refinished floors are gorgeous and make it feel like we have a completely new house!

Shine Star Hardwood Flooring did a great job on our home's floors. We hired them to replace our carpet and linoleum floors and refinish our hardwood floors. They matched the stain of the wood perfectly. The crew arrived on time and worked diligently until the job was complete. The job took less time than anticipated. We would highly recommend Shine Star Hardwood Flooring.

Shine Star is the best floor sanding company. The house was so clean and dust free when they completed the job. Floors came out so beautiful. We are so happy with the results. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thx again for a great job, Giulia

I had a hardwood floor put down in my bedroom. They did an amazing job, everything went perfectly I would highly recommend them!

We obtained estimates from three contractors for putting a zero-VOC finish on the hardwood floors in our "new" home. Two of the contractors recommended products that, while low-VOC, were not VOC free. Celso from Shine Star was the only one to recommend a truly VOC free product. And it was him who told us that the product his competitors were going to use was not truly VOC free. AND, even though Celso was going to use a more expensive product on our floors than what the others recommended, his estimate was competitively priced with the others we obtained. We told him we were in a hurry, and he made arrangements for work to start the very next day, and they finished our entire house ahead of schedule--in ONE day (ok, we had to leave the floors to cure, but the labor was done in one day, which meant the curing started and ended faster). That meant so much to us, because we had to wait to move our furniture and other belongings and make some other repairs until AFTER the floors were done. Best of all, the floors looked absolutely amazing (like they are brand new), our house was spotless and there was no residual smell. I feel like we were lucky to discover Shine Star, and I will definitely recommend them to my friends.

I have worked with Celso Leniar/ Shine Star Hardwood Flooring on two different occasions. They were absolutely fabulous to work with both times, and the wood floors they installed look amazing. They did a great job all the way around. Meticulous installation (no large gaps between boards), quality finishing (sanding, coating, sealing). Other important attributes worth mentioning: Celso returns phone calls, his team is here when he says they will be, they are careful to protect the rest of the house from as much dust and construction havoc as possible, the job is completed in a timely fashion (on or before promised date). I found Celso to be fair with respect to market pricing for hardwood floors. We have an upcoming project and are looking forward to working with them again.

This is the second time I have used Shine Star. The first time was just one room where the job was to pull a 20 year old carpet off and bring the floors beneath to match the rest of the house. The second time was in my new home that needed the entire 1st and 2nd floor sanded, stained and polished. They did an absolutely beautiful job, we love the way our floors came out.! Celso is a great guy who is easy to work with and very reliable...but he is the business end. Thankfully, his crew is just as good. We were extremely impressed with their punctuality, observance of timelines, and patience. It took 2 guys 9 tries to finally make us happy with a stain color, but they were happy to keep mixing and testing different colors on the floors until we were excited about the outcome. After 3 coats of finish, my wife and I noticed just a few tiny spots around the edges that were streaky and or stained lighter (we're perfectionists). We pointed these issues out to the crew and they fixed up everything perfectly before/with the final coat! I look forward to using Shine Star again.

Communication was perfect. Appointments were kept punctually. Explanations were complete. The work was done professionally, and the workmen were polite and helpful. The floor is beautiful, and the was comparatively reasonable.
