Gorsegner Brothers > Blog > Uncategorized > From Our Family to Yours…Gorsegner Bros’ COVID-19 Update
To our Friends, Family, Loyal Customers and Neighbors—
We are all in the uncharted waters of the COVID-19 storm and it is at this time, like many of our fellow small business owners, that we as a company must adjust our sails to make some tough decisions.
With a heavy heart, as of last Friday March 13th, we began layoffs affecting all 25 people who work amongst the Gorsegner Brothers office staff and crews. My grandfather started this business back in 1951, and it breaks our hearts to know that this decision will ultimately put a financial strain on our entire team and their families (as well as our own). But like so many others, it had to be done in order to keep Gorsegner Brothers afloat so that hopefully soon we can bring everyone back to conduct business as usual.
While our doors will officially be closed for the next few weeks, we will be joining the virtual world in an effort to provide you with estimates from the safety of your/our own home. Simply email us at info@gorsegnerbrothers.com with your phone number and a brief description of the work you’re looking to have done, and we’ll reach out to discuss your project. Then once we’ve collected all the necessary info—we’ll send you our proposal.
In addition to our “virtual” estimates, we are still booking future work. So don’t hesitate to call and/or email us to secure your installation, sanding & finishing, and/or stairs & rail dates. Thanks to call forwarding, you will be able to reach us via phone between 8-4pm Monday-Friday @ 732-291-SAND.
We are well-aware that the services that we provide are luxuries, not necessities. With that, we are humbly asking you, our home community of Middletown and our surrounding communities, for some help.
If you haven’t already, please like and follow our Facebook page, comment on and share our posts. Over the next few weeks, we will be introducing you to our family and sharing the history of our business. We will even be teaching you a few tricks of the trade (stay tuned for a tutorial on how to accurately measure your room ;-)).
Our hope is that our local, family-run hardwood flooring business will stay on your radar. And then when the day comes that you’re ready and able to have your flooring done, you will call us.
Lastly, while we don’t have much to offer to our community in this specific time of need—we do have a box truck that we are happy to put to some good use during this time. So if you are a restaurant owner and need help delivering left-over goods to our local pantry or to organizations like Lunch Break, the Backpack Crew etc., —please don’t hesitate to reach out as we would love to help. Same goes to any of our local foundations who are making a difference—if you need a truck to help with deliveries, just give us a call.
We wish you all good health, peace, patience & happiness during these trying times.
With Lots of Love from our Family to Yours…

Gorsegner Bros refinished our hard wood floors both first and second floor. They did an amazing job at a very fair price and the floors look new!!! They were patient answering all our questions during the job and also provided suggestions!!! The work was done on time. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

My wife and I are extremely happy with the result! The staff was professional, safe, tidy and quick! They had our old flooring torn up and the new floor installed in less than 48 hours which was a plus because losing use of our main room in the house for a long period of time would have been a real headache! Everything from the estimate, to the tear up, to the installation and completion of the job was smooth and done with the highest degree of quality and stellar workmanship. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Gorsegner Brothers did an absolutely fantastic job on my living room floor refinishing – they took all of the dog claw scratches right out and made the floor look better than it did when I moved in. Highly recommended!

I used this company and found the entire experience to be a pleasure. All the work was done to my satisfaction with minimal inconvenience. My entire first floor had to be ripped and replaced. I have had my floors done twice before, by other contractors, and went through many issues which were absent with Gorsegner. I am still admiring the floors today. The dustless system is a miracle. After the sanding I could run a finger anywhere and not find any dust.

They refinished the wood floors in our kitchen and dining room. The work was done on time and completed with no mess. Most importantly, the result was beautiful. The floors looked much better than they did when they were first installed. We could not be happier with the result.

Gorsegner Bros installed, stained and finished a hardwood floor in my den. There was a problem in the way the floor was sanded such that the stain was darker in several areas along the edges. Gorsegner immediately re-sanded the entire floor and the result is perfect. Errors can occur with any work being done, but Gorsegner’s customer service and willingness to immediately correct a problem to the customer’s satisfaction is greatly appreciated. I will certainly use them again without hesitation.

We hired Gorsegner Brothers to refinish a bedroom floor that suffered water damage during Superstorm Sandy. They did such a phenomenal job and were so incredibly professional that we had all of the floors in our house refinished by their company. I was amazed at how they were able to extract such incredible beauty from the dingy, dirty, old wood floors we had in our house. We are in the process of repainting and redecorating the entire house as a result.

Everyone, from the estimators, to the office staff and the work teams were courteous, professional and efficient. Diego, the leader of our work team, was exceptionally knowledgable and helpful with choice of color and how to go about each phase of the sanding/refinishing process (sanding straight line areas of the job rather than each room as a whole). They worked long hours and were meticulous about their work.

My husband, who is extremely meticulous and normally does all the work in our house, was as impressed as I was at the results of the work.I have passed their name onto another family and will definitely call them again when I require refinishing services.
