Testimonials

Over 40,000 Satisfied Customers

Our 30-year journey is marked by a solid network of repeat customers and referrals, from residences, builders and real estate/property management firms. Their testimonials echo our commitment to you, our valued customers.

I’m an interior designer and I recently engaged Abacus to sand, stain and finish the cypress pine floor in one of my residential projects. I found them to be very personable and easy to deal with and the price was reasonable. But more importantly the quality of the finish and workmanship is very impressive. My client is very pleased with the results and so am I. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you for being supportive and efficient. The residents in our strata are very appreciative. Actually, that’s two apartments completed by your company in our block. Very good customer service and definitely worthy of our high recommendations to others.

The Abacus team was phenomenal – they were super responsive and easy to deal with from the get-go, gave us great advice on what to do and not do with our new home that needed a bit of TLC, and worked tirelessly to get us ready to move in. This work-in-progress shot doesn’t do what they did justice – it’s 100% better than the orange-peel floors we had beforehand. Can absolutely recommend them – we’ll certainly be back in touch the next time we need our floors or deck done!

I have been telling anyone who will listen how fabulous Abacus Flooring is. They were incredibly professional, cared more about floors than I thought was possible. Luis and Jose were a delight to work with, their passion for their craft is remarkable and I would use them again in a heartbeat. Their pricing was also very competitive, and I am so glad I went with Abacus as the overall experience was outstanding.

Amazing service! I had my floors done by Abacus Flooring 23 years ago and they were still immaculate I just wanted a freshen up. Ted and his team are so friendly and professional! Nandor who came and did my floor was so nice and did an amazing job. Professional upon arrival and cleaned up and was very respectful. It’s nice to see a company still maintain high standards of customer service having been in business for so many years! Would highly recommend. 10/10 😃😃

A neighbour recommended Abacus Flooring to me and I couldn’t have hoped for a better service and quality. Marco did a brilliant job and was a pleasure to deal with. The quote process with Abacus was quick and simple and within a week I had my floors completed to an excellent standard. Incredibly reasonably priced too. Highly recommend this company.

Fifteen years of wear and tear from two very active boys had left our floorboards in real need of rejuvenation. So I contacted about 6 different floor sanding/polishing companies. Only one responded in a timely manner – Abacus. They turned up when they said they would and, when they found the floors in need of more work than would normally be the case they didn’t blink. They worked to get the job done to the highest standard. We are very happy with the end result.

Marty and his company are great! I couldn’t be happier with my newly re-sanded and re-polished floor! Always on time, professional was very knowledgeable, and his workmanship is of superior quality. The finish that we have is amazing and beautiful. I highly, highly recommend Abacus Flooring for anyone looking for floor restoration work in Sydney.

Abacus did a great job of rejuvenating the flooring of our new (to us) home. They turned up on time, took excellent care on the job, and left a first-rate result so we had a perfect finish to greet us when we moved in. I would highly recommend Abacus.

We have a great working relationship with Marty and his team. Working with clients to present their properties before going to market often means timetabling several contractors to work within a small time frame. Marty and his team are not only great to work alongside, they always produce a fantastic result. We highly recommend Abacus Flooring.

They were professional, responsive and the least expensive of the quotes we got. Showed up on time and got the job done quickly and efficiently. Couldn’t be happier with the transformation!
