"Pam was a real pleasure to work with and the installers did a great job. We had Bradford install hardwood throughout our townhouse as part of a renovation project. It was a complex job that was broken up into three phases due to our overall renovation schedule. Bradford was very accommodating and available when we needed them at each phase. The neighbors love our floors and one of them also used Bradford. We highly recommend Bradford and especially Pam." Paul

" My experience with Bradford Floor $ Home was nothing short of fabulous. Dealing with Dave was an absolute pleasure. It was really nice to deal with someone who lives up to what he promises. That is hard to find today. He is an honest, old school guy who really delivers.
