Aloha,
Having known Chris Brenna and Flooring Specialists for nearly 14 years, he and his crew have always been a pleasure to work with. At my previous employer, we always called upon him for our flooring repair/replacement needs, whether it was wood, tile, travertine, marble or a refinishing job. Chris was always honest, fair and accommodating with his pricing, estimates and scheduling.
Last fall, our condo experienced a flood from the unit above. After months of waiting for insurance, building approvals, material delivery, etc. we finally scheduled our installation.
Chris’s crew arrived punctually as promised. Alex and Randy had the entire wood floor area sawn into squares and stacked neatly for hauling down to their trucks. I was shocked that this process only took about 2 hours! This included careful attention to plastic sheeting installed over the kitchen cupboards, pantry space and laundry center to prevent dust from entering. This step ensured a quick clean-up, as no sawdust or debris was found following their departure.
The guys brought up the new flooring boxes and materials. By mid-afternoon they had over half of the new flooring laid. It was looking beautiful. The second day Alex and Randy returned to finish laying the floor. On the third day, Randy returned to fit all of the trim molding, transitions and to touch up the baseboards.
We couldn’t be happier with the finished results. An unfortunate situation with the upstairs unit’s flood, but a blessing in disguise for us, as we are enjoying our new wooden flooring.
Mahalo nui loa, Chris, Alex and Randy, for a wonderful job, well done.

Mahalo to the entire team at Hawaii Flooring Specialists. We love our new floors, they have totally transformed our house. Kale is very conscientious, considerate and his attention to detail is exceptional. This is our second time using Chris and his team, once 10 years ago at a previous home and again in our new home. We don't hesitate to recommend Hawaii Flooring Specialists to any one who asks.
This is an outstanding company and I highly recommend them. Chris and his team completed several projects at my father’s home, including carpeting, tile work, and a full bathroom restoration. Throughout each phase of the process, they took exceptional care, and the execution was both flawless and highly professional.
Their pricing was very reasonable, but the quality of workmanship they delivered is truly priceless. Thank you to Chris and the entire team for restoring our father’s home back to its former glory. Aloha, Dennis

We recently experienced water damage to our Ohia wood flooring, which extends through multiple rooms of our house. We explored our options re who to hire to perform the restoration and were fortunate to find Flooring Specialists (owned by Chris). After he inspected the damage, and providing us with a number of accessible references, we were convinced that we should hire his company. We have absolutely no regrets re the decision. His estimate was very reasonable and competitive, and he stuck to it. His crew was professional, neat, conscientious, respectful and friendly (as was Chris). They were prompt, communicated well, reliable and willing to go above and beyond. The result was a beautiful restoration, so attractive that it was a shame to have to cover any of it with furniture. Our floor looks new, and better than it has ever looked since we purchased our house almost 30 years ago. I cannot say enough about our pleasure with Chris, his team and his company, and can recommend them without reservation.

We had our parquet floors refinished by Flooring Specialist and were totally blown away by the transformation of our old floor to a beautiful clean surface!!! The look is amazing and the feel is clean and like brand new. We highly recommend this company if you need any refinishing done! They are the best!!!!
