Their last names and addresses are omitted as we respect our customer’s privacy.
"Dear Mr. Hosking I just had to write and let you know how much you and your company have meant to us. After shopping locally my husband and I decided that we could not afford the flooring we wanted and were going to put our wood flooring project off. But then a neighbor who had purchased their flooring from you told us we have to contact you. It was one of the most rewarding experiences we have ever had. Your customer service people and pricing was simply outstanding and you made it affordable even in the tight economy we are in. I am so glad that we bumped into our neighbor who referred us to you. The Muskoka Floors are beautiful Thank You so much."
- Ed and Eleanor, MI
"I don't have a question. I purchased some 3/4 inch Oak Gunstock White Mountain Flooring from you two years ago. Due to circumstances, we just started laying the flooring. We are so impressed! In a total of 10 boxes we only found 3 boards with any faults. After installing a hardwood floor in my mothers home using an expensive top of the line Bellawood flooring we found over a full carton of bad boards. I need to compliment you for your rating system, the excellent quality, and the great price. I will highly recommend you to anyone in the future. My floors are beautiful."
- Verna, KS
“We recently ordered over 1600 SF of Mannington Wood Floors from your company. We have received the flooring without any problems and are very pleased. Everyone on your staff that we talked to was helpful and friendly, and the flooring is just beautiful. The freight company that delivered it was friendly and helpful and managed to get it here unharmed. (We live in Louisiana - that's a long way from Boston!) We are so pleased with our experience that we've told everyone else about it, and now my brother in North Carolina in getting ready to place an order. Thanks’ for a great experience.”
- Bob and Jodie, Louisiana

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our Lauzon flooring we just finished installing. This was BY FAR the easiest wood flooring we have ever installed. This wood was so perfect, we had a full 100 s.f. of wood left over from the job (3,800 s.f.) which will will use upstairs. The number of unuseable pieces was less than ten over the 38 boxes we opened! The Hoskings service was exceptional in helping to sort out the various molding needs. Thanks for everything!"
- Lisa, VA
"Mickey, the Mannington floor has been installed (except for the t-mold) and it looks great. The installers said it was a great product to install. I plan to send photos. Thanks to Hoskings and Mannington for an outstanding product!
- Tim, MS
"Dear Hosking Hardwood Crew, Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you again for your great service on my recent flooring purchase. We finally got the flooring down and we think it looks great. I have attached a picture of part of the floor. Everything went very smoothly thanks in large part to your help with our technical questions. In all we installed just under 1100 square feet. The Anderson Rhino Tuff maple planks were beautiful and were perfectly milled. We had almost zero waste.
- Brad, Brentwood CA
"Hi...The next morning after my e-mail, I actually heard from the carrier. The flooring arrived that same day! WOW! Such fast shipping. Everything looks great. We will use Hosking again in the future when we re-do our lower level!, Thanks again."
- Elizabeth, MI
"I am installing the flooring I purchased from Hosking and its GREAT! However, I don't exactly know how to install it under the existing kitchen counter toe kicks, Any advice on this?"
- Charles, KY
"I just wanted to let you know the wood was delivered two days ago. I want to thank you for holding my order for awhile. Our house project is a little behind schedule, but we expect to install the wood floors within the next two weeks. So I am very excited to see how it turns out. Thank you for working with us on this order. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Hosking Hardwood to my friends. Thanks"
- Brad, FL
"Very pleased with my flooring purchase. The order arrived within the time frame. Small problem with the molding, however it did arrive a few days later. Thanks Karen for tracking it down!" Thanks Again.
- Greg, CA
“Keep up the good work - great company - must be due to great people!!”
- Neil, IL
“Thank you so much for your help - I placed my order this afternoon. I don't know where we would be with our home remodel without your company. Local flooring stores treated us as if we were simply a bother. My first, and last, words to them were that I wanted a good product and I wanted a deal! We will be back. “
- Alan, MI
“Thanks so much! I love my floor!”
- Raymond, MD
"We wanted to take a moment & thank you for your outstanding service, pricing & delivery. As we mentioned when placing the order, we had a very bad experience with another internet flooring company. After being promised 5-7 day delivery, we finally gave up after many unanswered phone calls & waiting almost 8 weeks.
We are extremely pleased with our flooring. Your customer service representative was excellent, your pricing was competitive & we received our order exactly when you said it would arrive. Please feel free to use this letter as a reference for future customers who may be hesitant after having a similar bad experience with other internet vendors."
- Bob, FL
" Just fyi, it's been a pleasure dealing with Hosking. At our previous home in Massachusetts, we replaced carpet with hardwood upstairs and in the great room. The flooring (Muskoka oak and maple) was from Hosking and we were extremely pleased with both the quality and price. We moved to Virgina two years ago and have just taken on a similar project. After shopping around locally, we found that Hosking beat all the local shops for price by an average of $1.25 / square foot for a similar quality flooring -- that included shipping. That saved us roughly $1,500. and once again the quality was great. Thanks Again."
- Dean, VA
" Good Morning, I just wanted to relate to you that we were very impressed with the quality of your "distinctive" wood flooring. We recently completed the installation and our contractor said it was some of the nicest flooring material he had ever worked with. The cartons were packaged nicely and there were hardly any defective or "waste" pieces that had to be discarded. The sections fit together as they should have so that the installation was easily accomplished. We feel that this flooring represents an excellent value for the price we paid and we would not hesitate to recommend it or use it again. Thank you.
- Gary, MD
“Wow! What great service and handling to get our flooring here so quickly. Looks great and thank you again for the great service all of you have rendered with our order. If anyone needs any flooring I will highly recommend you guys!!”
- Walter, MS
“Your company has been more helpful than anyone I have talked with. Either no one knows this information, or they are afraid to talk about it. That goes a long way for me.”
- Bill, IL
"Jeff - The flooring showed up here Tuesday, Sept 2 at the same time our foam insulation was being sprayed. Talk about busy! But we got it all unloaded and its stacked up in our dining room. Thats some amazing turnaround on getting it down here, since I think we ordered Aug 28. that really worked out well for us. Haven't got a chance to dig into the floor yet, but we laid out a box up in the hallway and Nancy loves it. I think the 3.25" was the right choice.
Thanks again for your great service!"
- Ben and Nancy, IL
"Crystal,You are a delight! Thank you so much for this tip--I had NO idea Alloc was offering a rebate. I had done my research on this floor last fall, and didn't even look at their website again when I made the order from you, because I already new exactly what I wanted and didn't need to do further research. We are thrilled with the floor. Everyone who's seen it thinks it's some fancy, expensive slate or tile, and marvels at the incredibly straight and even grout lines. It truly looks like a much more expensive floor than it is. And I am anticipating that it will still look this fantastic for many, many years.Thanks much."
- Mary, GA

We will definitely buy more products from Hosking Hardwood and we will be recommending you to several of our friends and relatives who are also looking for flooring.
