About Kevin
Kevin O'Brien has been installing and refinishing floors across Greater Boston for 11 years. He works with hardwood, engineered wood, tile, LVP, and natural stone, and does his own installation, no subcontracting. He is particularly skilled at pattern work, inlays, and refinishing old hardwood to its original character.
Kevin is meticulous about subfloor prep and moisture testing before any installation. He provides detailed written quotes and his pricing is all-inclusive, no surprise add-ons.
