It seems impossible that it’s been over 50 years since I started going around to flooring jobs with my dad and my grandfather.  Those trips were the beginning of what would turn out to be a life's ambition.

I remember how proud I was after mastering each of the many individual tasks involved in the sanding and finishing of wood floors.  I took great pride in the family business and the attention to detail that my grandfather insisted made the difference. Our customers thought so too, as they often told us that we were "the best around".

We did all the sanding and finishing work at UMass, Amherst, Smith and Mt Holyoke colleges.  I learned my trade from the old timers, from a time gone by.

Pride in our work was the greatest lesson of all - turning out a quality product that you personally knew was your best. I continue to instill this pride in workmanship in my sons today.  It was instilled in me by my father - how important it was to pay attention to all the little details that by themselves don't mean much but put together make all the difference.

I continued the tradition by expanding to the greater Hartford area in 1974 with the establishment of Bill's Floor Sanding. Our work product became well known, and demand for our services increased to include West Hartford, where our quality of work and superior customer service gained further respect.

Thirty two years later, we continue to serve West Hartford and the Farmington Valley, often working on the same house with new owners.  And we continue to use the time tested techniques which have brought our customers joy for four generations.
