Hardwood Flooring Project Gallery

Dorrance did a great, high quality job installing new flooring and refinishing old floors that required replacement in some areas. Great crew and a very professional family run business that does all their own work (no sub-contractors) with pride and to high standards. We enjoyed working with them and would gladly do business with them again in the future.

Freddie Dorrance did a fantastic job matching my old floors to my new floors. He hit the nail on the head with the right color and now all my flooring looks so beautiful. He was so easy to work with and the price point was very reasonable. Thank you!

They showed up as promised, on time, and did excellent work repairing and refinishing my floor. I would highly recommend them.

I recently had my floors refinished by Dorrance Hardwood Floors and was very satisfied with the results. From start to finish the team was professional, punctual, and provided top superior service. The crew was courteous and always ready to answer any questions I had. They kept my home remarkably clean throughout the process. They created minimal dust which allowed me to quickly clean up when they were done. I highly recommend this company.

Excellent experience from start to finish. Results fully met expectations. Friendly and accomodating service combined with outstanding craftsmanship. We highly recommend Dorrance!

Freddie and his team at Dorrance Floors were fantastic to work with for our recent project. They installed new hardwoods in our family room and tied them in beautifully to our existing hardwoods. They also sanded and refinished our existing floors to match the new floors. From advising on color options, finish options, and pricing, they were hands down the best to work with. Small, family owned business! Highly recommend them for your hardwood flooring project!

Dorrance Hardwood specialists did a spectacular job installing new flooring in my new home and also refinished decades-old flooring in my former residence. The team of installers and finishers are true craftsman. No detail was overlooked in either project. Freddie Dorrance and his crew exceeded my expectations and they will remain my "go to" company for any future installation, repairs and refinishing. Thank you, Team Dorrance!

I absolutely love our new floors. Dorrance was great to work with. They solved a lot of issues we had tying in our old floor with our new floor and transitions and around closets and it all looks seamless now. Love that they create a large sample of 4 stain colors on the actual floor to choose from. They laid the hardwood in the master bedroom and into the closets and they did an amazing job. The floors turned out amazing.

I worked with Dorrance on installing new hardwood on 2/3rds of my main level and blending the new floors into existing. From start to finish, this has been an excellent company and team to work with.Key points: (1) a small, local company that does all their work in-house (no sub-contractors), including demo; (2) gave a reasonable quote (in my opinion); (3) provided timeline and dates, gave timeframes for when we could use the area and not (we were living in house for most of this renovation), very easy to communicate with; (4) came back to finish shoe molding after painters came through (and painted trim); (5) overall went above and beyond to solve some tricky flooring problems that hadn't been repaired right in past.This team will be my go-to if/when we have any work to be done on our hardwoods in the future. I definitely recommend them.

Beautiful, quality work. Completely trustworthy and respectful. The job was finished a day ahead of schedule. A family run business with no subcontractors.

We have hired Dorrance for two projects, one in our previous home and one in our current home. This is truly a family business that takes great pride in their work. The current job was replacing carpeting in half our main floor with hardwood and matching to the extent possible the existing hardwood. Our new floor looks amazing. Mr Dorrance was very up front that the new floor and old floor (which are painted, who does that?) would not match, but now I want to get the rest of the downstairs flooring to match the new flooring because the new floor looks so spectacular. The work crews were on time, very friendly, and they obviously knew what to do and how best to do it. If you want a floor job that is done right and beautiful, go with Dorrance.

Freddie Dorrance and his crew did an outstanding job refinishing the floors in our home. They went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. He answered all of our questions and provided guidance on finishing options. Our floors look beautiful and were finished sooner than expected while ensuring all details were addressed. We highly recommend Dorrance Floor Specialists and would not hesitate to work with them in the future.

When the time came to have the entire first floor refinished I thought "this would be a piece of cake". Boy I was smart not to even try it. Freddie and his team saved me months of rehab by coming in on time, on budget, and made these floors new again. Here's to a job well done not by me!

I would highly recommend Dorrance Hardwood floors. We had our main level refinished and the floors look amazing. Efficient, no smell and no dust! We also had a small section of tile ripped out and Dorrance was able to match it w our existing floor. You would never know the tile existed! Freddie and his crew were easy to work with through the entire process. Very knowledgeable. Thank you Dorrance!

It was wonderful to work with a family-owned and operated business. We had the hardwood floors refinished in 4 rooms and we love the results. Every aspect of this project went smoothly. We thought the price was fair, communication was excellent, and the job was finished a day earlier than expected. The entire team was very professional and accomplished. Love that the owner (Freddie) was as involved in the job as the rest of the team. Highly recommend!

We are beyond pleased with the service we received from Dorrance Hardwood Floors and would absolutely recommend them. From the very first consult meeting we had, we were impressed. Freddie was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. I learned that the products they use are not harmful to inhale and have less harmful compounds. In addition, he was up front with the timeline we would be looking at to get our job done, which I appreciated. Leading up to our job, he was in communication to discuss stain colors and expectations for the delivery of our flooring, along with what we would need to do in preparation. The job itself was painless-Freddie and his crew took extra care to cover all of our cabinets to protect them from dust. They were friendly and respectful. The final product is absolutely beautiful! Upon completion, Freddie walked through the job with me to answer all of my questions and to discuss care and maintenance. We are so thankful that we were able to work with such a great company! Thank you!

Dorrance installed new hardwood floors in three rooms and refinished a fourth room to match the new floors. We are very pleased. The result is beautiful. They are craftsmen.

The team at Dorrance was outstanding from start to finish. In particular, they carefully guided us through the project (new wood floor installation, refinishing old wood floors) before we committed, worked efficiently while they were on site, consulted throughout, and did beautiful work. Family owned and operated, which we appreciate also.

If you are looking for hardwood flooring services, Freddie is your guy! We hired Dorrance Hardwood to refinish our 60+ year old hardwood floors that have taken a beating over the years. Freddie was great - responsive, knowledgeable, & respectful from start to finish! His team did a wonderful job refinishing our entire home in under a week and cleaning up without a trace of dust left behind. They were even able to work out a few water damage stains that we assumed would have to remain. After Freddie and his team were finished, our floors looked brand new and have held up beautifully for months now thanks to Freddie educating us on how to wash/care for them properly. Without a doubt, we would hire Freddie and his team again for any future hardwood flooring needs!

Beginning to end, Dorrance did an amazing job on our 40 year old floors. The team always arrived promptly and when they left for good on day 4, there was no dust! Freddie was so great to work with...price was good...the floors look beautiful. I highly recommend Dorrance floors!

After getting several estimates we went with Dorrance Hardwood Floors. Freddie was very personable, professional & really knowledgeable about hardwood flooring. I had so many questions that he answered and our project was off and running. We had our main floor done with custom red oak, stained natural. He sanded & finished our stairs to match the flooring and the custom registers are the best. The crew was exceptional. Very nice guys!!! They completed the job within the scheduled timeframe. Cleaned up each day and really took care of our home. If you’re looking to have hardwood floors installed, we highly recommend calling soon. This company is a 10+!!!!!!!!Mary & Larry Polkabla

I cannot express my gratitude for the work Freddie, Ed, and team did! The flooring is beautiful! Freddie and Ed walked me through every step of the process and offered their advice without any pressure. I had MANY estimates for the job and Dorrance was kind, professional and not at all pushy. I recommend them, with honors, for any hardwood flooring needs! Thank you so much Dorrance Flooring!

Dorrance was top notch from beginning to completion. Made suggestions that really made the project turn out awesome. Their communication was outstanding and even though we were scheduled months in advance showed up exactly on schedule. We are very happy. Worth the wait!

Dorrance did a fabulous job installing our hardwood floor. The quality of their work is amazing. They arrived on time very day and cleaned up before they left ever day. The staff are kind and professional! I would highly recommend them.

Freddie and his team were amazing from start to finish. Freddie is extremely responsive, diligent, helpful, hard working, the list goes on. The floors turned out to be exactly how we wanted them. Freddie bent over backwards to get our home ready in time for our very quick move-in and transformed our floors with beautiful work. It was a pleasure working with Dorrance Hardwood Floors and we would absolutely use them again and will recommend them to friends.

Dorrance did an incredible job refinishing our 23 year old hardwood floor with deep scratches and worn off stain. It looks brand new! They were fantastic to work with and a great value. Very highly recommend!

We recently moved to the area and after reading the reviews for Dorrance Hardwood Floors, reached out to Freddie to sand and refinish the existing hardwood floors. Freddie and his team did a stellar job from start to finish beginning with providing visual options to aid in our stain selection. The sanding process was thorough and well contained. We were so pleased with the staining and refinishing process. Freddie was onsite everyday with his team and they were prompt, professional and tidied up at the end of each day. We could not be happier with our results and we have already recommended Dorrance Hardwood Flooring to neighbors. Our new floors have really transformed our home!Mary Ann Wyckoff

Freddie, Ed and the team were super easy to work with! They did a great job minimizing dust and were really responsive to questions and concerns. I highly recommnend Freddie and the team!

Dorrance did a wonderful job. We are thrilled with our wood floors.

Dorrance Hardwood Floors did an outstanding job refinishing our hardwood floors in August 2020! The floors look better than ever. We can now admire the white oak natural color because of the coating that Freddie recommended. His team was careful, efficient, and very helpful. They even vacuumed the walls to get every speck of dust that resulted from sanding the floors! Freddie was always easy to reach before, during, and after the job was completed. We highly recommend Dorrance Hardwood Floors!Sylvie and Stanley Rowen

Dorrance installed new hardwoods where carpet used to be, and then refinished and stained existing hard wood floors though out my whole house. It is a gorgeous and seamless transition, you would never know the floors were not all the same age. Their attention to detail and quality work is what makes them the best in the business. They truly are a custom floor company, and take pride in their work. I honestly will not use anyone else! EVER! Local and family owned business with trustworthy and kind people you don’t mind letting in the house. Only use Dorrance!

Freddie and everyone at Dorrance were fantastic. We had new hardwood installed on most of our first floor and bedroom. Freddie and his staff were amazing from the start. Walked us through the wholesaler to find the perfect wood for us, was flexible when we had to reschedule suddenly, completed the work professionally and timely, and had the BEST communication skills. Beautiful job! HIGHLY recommend!!

A+ service, professional staff and amazing results. Very happy with the sand and re-stain of existing hardwood floors. The end stain match was perfect and completed quickly and on time. Highly recommend Dorrance!

Very satisfied, excellent work, and even came back to repair an accident from a dishwasher leak. Highly recommend!

We can't say enough great things about Dorrance Flooring and our experience with Freddie and his team. I can't imagine there's anyone who has more expertise and passion for hardwood floors than Freddie! He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for with our new floors (sanding and custom staining some existing hardwood in some parts of the house & installing new and custom staining in other parts of the house) & exceeding our expectations. Freddie helped us pick the perfect custom stain color and allowed us to see several on our floors before choosing. Freddie had amazing communication throughout the process & he and his team stuck exactly to the planned schedule for our project, kept us updated throughout and even personally met us to do a walk-through of the whole house when finished (and educated us on how to take care of our new floors). Every little detail is perfect and we could not be happier! I would use Dorrance Flooring again in heartbeat and recommend to anyone with a flooring project.

If you are looking for a company to install hardwood floors, we highly recommend Dorrance Hardwood Floors. We wanted to replace the slate floors in our foyer, living room and kitchen and Freddie Dorrance worked directly with us from the time he came to give us an estimate to the completion of the job. He was in constant communication with us the entire time and assisted us in finding quality product as well as a contractor to grind and level the existing uneven slate floor. When installing the new flooring, his efficient team took extra care to limit dust and product waste. They were professional and consistently prompt. It was a pleasure doing business with them and we look forward to enjoying the beautiful hardwood floors that truly transformed our home.Valerie and Tom Roberts

What a fantastic experience having our entire first level flooring installed by Dorrance! From our first meeting of an estimate to a few small touch ups, Freddie and his team were always professional, prompt, and very easy to work with. Freddie was also a huge help in guiding our hardwood selection with information on different brands, where to purchase, and how to care for our floors. We would highly recommend Dorrance for any flooring project!

We recently had our hardwood floors extended and refinished by The Dorrance Company, a local business here in Severna Park. We had no previous experience with this company, but the reviews were quite good, so we contacted them for an estimate. One of the owners, Freddie, spent over an hour with us reviewing the work, options, materials, pros and cons of different coatings, etc. We found him to be very knowledgeable, patient and conversant. Their bid was quite reasonable, so we contracted with them. The team was punctual, highly skilled, polite and friendly. They cut no corners and the workmanship was flawless. The end result is simply beautiful. The transition from the original hardwood to the new is seamless. We could not be more pleased…actually, ecstatic. Also, there was absolutely no dust. Cabinets, drapes, light fixtures, etc. were covered, but the real key is the machinery they use that captures everything and produces an even surface. If you are looking to have your hardwoods refinished or new hardwood installed, you need to contact Dorrance!Chuck and Diane

We have 25 year old floors which look TERRIFIC after Dorrance Hardwood Floors repaired, sanded, stained and sealed them. Before and during the job, Freddie was responsive and easy to work with, always taking time to answer our questions. Freddie and his colleagues have the skills and expertise needed to do the work quickly and correctly. Picking reliable contractors isn’t always easy, but we can enthusiastically recommend these guys!

Professional quality work in every way!! Dorrance replaced a large amount of flooring on my first floor. They removed a lot of tile and installed hardwood which they blended into some existing hardwood. You can not find any indication that the flooring was laid at two different times. Also installed stairs going upstairs and they are beautiful. These workers were very respectful, were very careful about protecting my property and cleaned up after they were done. So refreshing to work with people who show up, do high quality work at a fair price! HIGHLY recommend.

Love my new floors! Dorrance Hardwood Floors did a beautiful job installing my new Honey Red Oak floor in the main level of my house. They are very knowledgeable and helped me decide on the perfect hard wood floor. The installers showed up on time, were very professional and left the house spotless! I highly recommend Dorrance Hardwood Floors!

We love our new floors. Dorrance Floors took our old, ugly floors and made them so beautiful again. They do great work. We did a whole kitchen, living remodel and we keep getting the most compliments on the floors. They really look great and are holding up very well.

Our floors look amazing! Dorrance refinished our old pine floors and they look brand new now. They arrived when promised, controlled the dust created by sanding, and put a beautiful finish on the floor. We couldn't be happier! We highly recommend Dorrance Hardwook Floors.

We have utilized Dorrance Hardwood Floors twice - once for our stairway and then for an entire floor in our home. Freddie Dorrance is one of those contractors you will not easily forget. Their staff was always on time and ready to work. Their 1st concern is the comfort of their customers, particularly in holding down dust and dirt. Our job needed to have new floor boards woven into the old boards - you cannot tell this work was done, and the floors looked brand new - beautiful job! The personnel keep a clean workplace and their finishes are top notch, holding up extremely well. We highly recommend this company. Their finished product is superb.

Freddie and his company did an excellent job from the initial consult to the follow through after the job was complete. Freddie showed up when he said he would and his crew worked steadily every day.I had most of my existing hardwood floors removed and the new floor integrated with the remaining old floor. The floors blended perfectly and look like it was all installed at the same time.The crew worked diligently and were very polite. They cleaned up every day and acted professionally. For the amount of work they did, the price was very reasonable. In fact, knowing that you can trust Dorrance to do the job correctly and with pride, the price is a bargain.

I Highly Recommend Dorrance Hardwood Floors to anyone who is looking to refinish their hardwood floors! Our floors look beautiful and brand new; and this after 37 years of wear and tear! Mr. Dorrance and his team are the ultimate professionals. They arrived on time, worked all day, and completed the work in the time frame agreed upon! The quality of their work is superior, and their prices are great! Five Stars to this terrific family owned business!!Mary Sullivan
