Cedarhurst homeowners are refinishing their banisters and railings because the Five Towns village’s mix of pre-war and postwar homes has original wood railings that carry the wear and outdated finish of their construction era. Daily hand contact on handrails wears finish unevenly. Spindles accumulate paint buildup from touch-up coats applied instead of proper restoration. Original stain colors in warm orange and honey tones look out of place in homes that have been updated with neutral floors and cooler trim profiles. Refinishing strips the old finish entirely, corrects the surface, and applies a new color and coating that brings the railing into the current interior. Frank Cimino Flooring is about 15 minutes from Cedarhurst.

Frank and Victoria were a pleasure to work with during my hardwood refinishing and kitchen rip out/installation of my newly purchased townhome! The floors came out beautiful (need to update with pictures!), and it looks as if I have a brand new home. Frank and Victoria were responsive to all my questions, and helpful in updating along the process. In less than a week I had a brand new hardwood kitchen floor that flows seamlessly into the rest of the hardwood in the dining and living rooms, and all the 60 year old hardwood including the stairs, hallway and bedrooms looked as if it had just been installed as well. Very happy with how it all turned out!
The work performed was phenomenal! Very professional workers. Clean, informative and made our living room, dining room and bedroom look beautiful. From the initial contact with both Frank and Victoria until the end of the job, they always had great communication with us to ensure we had a great and smooth experience. Great overall customer service.
I highly recommend this company. During my house reno, a floor contractor ruined my hardwood floors. Luckily I found Frank Cimino Flooring on Google. I called and scheduled them to sand and stain my floors. They worked with me on the price and finished the floors in the whole house in a few days. The whole team was extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I absolutely love how my floors turned out and I get many compliments on my floors from visitors. My advice for anyone who is looking for a company to sand and stain your hardwood floors, don’t use anyone who will cut corners… go to the experts. This company is worth it.
I could not be happier with my experience with this company. The entire staff is absolutely wonderful. They made the whole process so easy for us, and were so helpful with everything. I had my floors sanded, stained and polished and they look absolutely beautiful. They are exactly what I wanted, and I am so thrilled to have the floors of my dreams now!! I highly recommend this company. They are amazing!
I cannot say enough about Cimino flooring. Father Frank comes for the estimate, daughter Victoria handles scheduling and sons Frank and Anthony do the actual refinishing. They are all incredibly nice and professional and friendly. They show up on time. The job is neat and clean. Prices are very reasonable. Ive already referred them to 2 other families. My floors look amazing. Thank you Cimino family!
