iHow this is made

Editorial Standards

Ability Wood Flooring is a family-owned hardwood showroom at 2941 Staten Avenue in Orlando, and the company says it has served Central Florida since 1950. It installs solid and engineered hardwood, stone, tile and carpet, refinishes and repairs existing floors, and builds custom stairs. Its refinishing crews are Bona Certified, according to the website, which matters in a city with plenty of 1920s and 1950s homes and original oak underfoot. The showroom is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., so you can compare samples in person before booking a crew. Google shows 4.9 stars from 210 reviews, read November 1, 2026. Reviewers praise the refinishing of a nearly 100-year-old floor and the help picking materials. No licence number appears on the pages we read.

Our Take on Ability Wood Flooring

Ability is the pick for hardwood in older Orlando houses. Its 1950 founding claim, Bona-certified refinishing and a staffed showroom set it apart from small installers, though it publishes no licence number and keeps weekday hours only.

    We had a great experience with Ability! They were timely, neat, and great with communication. Our wood floors look great and turned out better than we expected.

    I was blessed with the opportunity to have Ability Hardwood take care of my floors. My floors have been down for 10 years and have experienced HVAC flooding, multiple hurricanes, many poweroutages including in the heat of summer. Lets just say they were time worn. I had scheduled to have them be there at 8am on Tuesday morning. It was risky to have them start that date because I had a post operation appt for my daughter. I had reached out to one of the owners Shane at 745am to see approx. What time they would be there. He immediately replied they are there and low and behold they were walking up to my door. If you have been in the construction industry for years as I have, you normally can count on them being 15-30mins late at the least; this set the tone for one of the best experiences I have ever had. Communication on specific details and challenges were communicated with the team leader Garbiel and were handled accordingly. At the end of the first day of sanding, you would never had known they literally sanded chunks out of the entire floor. They also did a great job with taping off items on the wall and the cabinets to protect. I was in shock when they said they could just sand and finish up to the baseboards without extra contruction to remove them. After the few day cure time, we were able to come back home to an amazing new floor. Shane, Gabriel and team did an exceptional job from start to finish to provide excellent communication, worksmanship, expediency and an overall job well done. Their work exceeded my expectations! I would recommend their work to my best friend or my mother (who I love dearly!) If your unsure about refinishing your floors, I strongly recommend you do it. It is well worth every penny!

    Ability Flooring are amazing! They refinished our nearly 100-year old hardwood floors and they look fantastic. They were professional, courteous, easy to work with and efficient. They worked quickly and diligently without sacrificing attention to detail. They communicated well from start to finish and we highly recommend them for your project. Working with a family-owned business that treats your home as their own is incredibly reassuring and makes the process much easier and less stressful. We really appreciate the excellent work they have done.

    First I just want to recommend Ability Wood flooring to anyone looking at this review, I promise I’m not a robot 🤖<br>Second we want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Ability Wood Flooring ❤️ We are so happy with how everything turned out. It looks perfect!<br>Dave and Victor, the carpet is SO soft that it honestly feels like I’m stepping on clouds, I catch myself walking on it and thinking how good it feels and didn’t find any issues ( Trust me I looked for one lol) You did a great job here.<br>Guilherme and Cleiton, you guys worked so hard and it really shows in the beautiful results. The wood floors looks beautiful just like I wanted it, completely changed the look of our room, making it feel bigger, warmer, and so much cleaner in my game room 💕 I absolutely love it! I also really appreciated how you took the time to come back to change one thing, that kind of care and attention means a lot…It shows that you genuinely care about doing a good job and making sure the customer is happy. Thank you for going the extra mile. ☺️<br>And Alex a special thank you to you for coming to our house and overseeing everything and making sure the job was done right, it means a lot to us costumers to have someone who genuinely cares about his job and the outcome, it takes the time to make sure everything is done properly. I’ve got other companies working at my place and I don’t recall supervising.. so your work didn’t go unnoticed. Shane, the big boss and the person responsible for this company, thank you for providing such a great team 👍🏻 Keep’m boys! at the end of the day a company is only as good as the people behind it…<br>Honestly, It’s one thing to have people come into your home to do a job but it’s another thing to have a team that works hard, do it right, leaving the place clean and who truly cares about the results.<br>Our home feels even more like home now, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out 🥰 I uploaded some pictures as well.<br>I hope it’s not too long of a review but wanted you to know how much your hard work is appreciated. Until next time!!! Thanks 😊

Company Background

About Ability Wood Flooring

Ability Wood Flooring has been selling and installing floors in Orlando since 1950, by the company's own account, and the family still runs the showroom at 2941 Staten Avenue. That history shows in the jobs it takes. Many homes in the 32804 area date from the 1920s through the 1950s, and a reviewer this October described how Ability refinished her nearly 100-year-old hardwood floors without cutting corners on detail.

The business started with wood and still leads with it. Crews install solid and engineered hardwood, refinish and repair existing floors, build custom stairs and handle water-damage repairs. The company lists Bona Certified craftsmen for refinishing, and it also installs stone, tile and carpet. It says it floors homes for many of Florida's top builders and designers, and that some of its Orlando homes have been featured in the Parade of Homes. A longtime customer who owns rental properties says he has used the firm for more than 30 years.

Customers name the sales staff as often as the installers. A reviewer in June credited Alex with helping choose the right floor and answering every question, and another thanked Dave and Victor after a carpet install. The showroom lets you handle samples and compare species, plank widths and finishes before you commit.

Ability Wood Flooring has 4.9 stars from 210 Google reviews, read November 1, 2026.

This shop suits homeowners with older oak floors worth saving, buyers who want hardwood chosen in person, and builders who need a steady installer. It suits less well anyone chasing the cheapest vinyl plank, since tile and carpet are secondary lines, and it is closed on weekends. Before booking, ask for a written quote that separates materials from labor, ask whether the crew are employees or subcontractors, and ask what warranty covers the work. Flooring is a trade where licences are often not required. Florida licenses many other contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and you can look up any number at myfloridalicense.com, so ask the company which licence or registration it holds and check that the name matches your contract.

Ability Wood Flooring FAQs

  • Is Ability Wood Flooring licensed in Orlando?

    The pages we read do not publish a licence number, so ask the company for one before you sign. Florida licenses many contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and you can search any number at myfloridalicense.com. Flooring installation is often unlicensed, so also ask for proof of insurance and who will be in your house. Ability does list Bona Certified craftsmen for refinishing, which is a manufacturer training credential and not a state licence.

  • What are Ability Wood Flooring's showroom hours?

    The showroom at 2941 Staten Avenue is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Saturday and Sunday, according to Google. Call (407) 422-0169 to book an estimate or a visit, since sample selection and scheduling are easier by appointment.

  • Does Ability Wood Flooring refinish old hardwood floors?

    Yes. The company offers hardwood floor refinishing, repair and water-damage work, and it says its craftsmen are Bona Certified. A reviewer in October described having nearly 100-year-old hardwood refinished with careful attention to detail. Ask for a written scope that says how many coats are applied and how long the rooms will be out of use.

  • Is Ability Wood Flooring licensed and insured?

    We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.

  • What areas does Ability Wood Flooring serve?

    Orlando. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does Ability Wood Flooring offer emergency service?

    Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.

  • How was this profile built?

    Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?

    A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
