Learn about our company roots....installation and refinishing for celebrities!
Our hardwood floor installation & finishing made the front cover!
We originated as a corporation on Long Island, New York 30 years ago.
Universal Floor has installed and refinished hardwood flooring
for many years. We worked on Fire Island in New York for William Katen (builder) back
in the 1980's. Not everyone has the experience of working on an island in 20 degree
weather every winter.
There are no vehicles (no private cars allowed)
on Fire Island! Our mechanics traveled by boat and walked to the job site with
their equipment in the snow.
Take a walk with us on the boardwalks in the dead of winter. Watch the video and snow on the beach! Join
celebrities on their secluded island!
We started on Long Island, New York working in many celebrity homes installing wood floors
in East Hampton, Southampton, Westhampton, Bridgehampton, Fire Island and all over
the East End of Long Island. We had the pleasure of doing custom hardwood stain colors, hardwood
floor installation and refinishing for celebrities. It is not uncommon to see them in
a food store or at the beach.

It is surrounded by water (water is 10 minutes away on each side of the island)
and that is why we have expertise in moisture testing and water damage to hardwood flooring.

Our hardwood restoration work is an important part of our job because it brings back the
beauty of the past. It is so rewarding to see hardwood floors brought back to
their original state. We are proud to do that for our community as well as others.

Our company held the most banquet, nightclub & hotel hardwood accounts on Long Island.
We managed 90 percent of the catering business there with hardwood flooring
services including exotic inlay design of ballrooms. That accomplishment
gave us our name in the hardwood flooring industry.
The competition was great, but we continued to corner the market on hardwood
floor services. Our reputation still stands today after 30 years in hardwood flooring.
Now in Florida for many years, we continue to serve our hardwood floor customers well
and with an extreme amount of pride in the work we have done.
**This company does travel to New York for wood floor services and other states upon request of previous or new customers.
