"Phil and his crew were awesome. They arrived promptly and got right to work. They removed my former flooring, cleaned up, and installed the new hardwood flooring. Plastic was placed strategically so that all other areas of the house were not affected by the dust. The workers were very respectful and helpful with any questions I asked. Overall it was a very professional job. My floors are gorgeous!!"

"Sasha and his refinishing expert, Val, were a fantastic team to work with. We were on a very tight schedule in getting ready for a real estate open house. I requested a quote on Tuesday, they started work on Wednesday and worked until 9:00 pm to complete all the sanding. They remain flexible and focused working through the weekend to complete the job in time for the next step in our preparation for sale, cleaning the carpets. A very professional and customer focused team I whole heartedly recommend. The real estate agent and photographer arrived Tuesday and complimented the refinished floor as one of the best they had seen. Open house will be as planned this weekend. THANK YOU WELES WOOD for a great job."

Customers say: Quality work

"Excellent work! I’ve been wanting to rip out carpeting and refinish my original 1910 hardwood flooring for years. Cliff and Superior Hardwood Flooring came highly recommended. He was very responsive, and after we discovered the original flooring wasn’t in as good condition as we thought, he explained my options. Cliff honestly told me most people would opt to just re-carpet, or he could patch and refinish but I most likely wouldn’t be happy with the results. I opted to totally redo the rooms with new wood. Cliff recommended the best match of wood, used quality materials and did beautiful work! I’m very happy with my new floors! He keep me informed every step of the way, was very professional, honest and the attention to detail is phenomenal! Highly recommend Cliff for your hardwood floor project!"

"My husband and I just bought a home. We got the keys last Thursday, pulled up the rugs in two bedrooms over the weekend and to our great luck we had hardwood floor. We wished we had time to get someone in to refinish the floors before our beds and furniture came on our move in day the Thursday that week. We felt badly all day Monday about it. On Monday night, I took a shot and texted my realtor asking if she had a floor company recommendation. She did and gave me the number for Noah at Green Homes Timber Flooring. I texted him and he said he could squeeze me in Wednesday. As in two days later and the day before our move. I was in shock. They figured out how to match the hallway flooring and did the water based quick dry so it would be done and ready for the move the next day. Iâ m still in shock I got it done in time. Iâ m forever grateful to Noah and his brother for taking such good care of us. Not only do my floors look amazing, they could not have been more kind. Noah offered to sweep behind my stove and even took the time to discuss where I should put furniture. I canâ t recommend this company enough. Use them- you wonâ t regret it!!!"

"Fantastic job by Tuan and his team! Not only was Unique Floors responsive to our quote, questions, they were ultra accommodating with our need to have the job complete in two rounds. We had our four upstairs bedrooms, hallway and staircase sanded and refinished. It’s hard to describe how beautiful the floors are now. The price was fair and worth every penny. Tuan is truly a master and after the job was completed we decided to hire him to replace our creaky 60-year old stairs. We highly recommend Tuan and Unique Floors for any floor project. And just as he promised, our old floors look “beautiful “."

"We had our hardwood floors in our home restored by Design Wood Floors this month. Our home is a 1910 Craftsman with a mix of original southern pine floors and relatively newer (20 year old) oak hardwood planking. All of the flooring was in dire need of refinishing. John and his crew did an amazing job restoring and refinishing our flooring. The attention to detail was impressive, and they even tackled things we didn't expect, like attaching some of our molding that had come unglued (in the past) back to our walls. We felt completely comfortable entrusting all of the details to Design Wood Floors and simply went on vacation, returning a week later to the hardwood floors of our dreams. We highly recommend Design Wood Floors!"

"I had a very positive experience with Mr. Hoang Duong and his highly skilled team. They did an excellent job of installing 1100 square feet of hardwood in my apartment, and they did it on the time-table that they promised. They removed carpets and solved the problem of gluing the wood to exposed concrete. They solved whatever problems that arose and they moved some furniture for me. Overall an outstanding result."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Chelsea, MA

Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.

Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.

Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
