We specialize in hardwood floor installation, refinishing, and repair in Andover, and we tailor each project to the home in front of us. Andover’s housing runs from 1920s Shawsheen Village homes—brick west of Route 28, white clapboard to the east—to Ballardvale’s 19th-century mill-village houses and a large stock of 1970s–90s colonials. In older, lived-in homes like these, keeping dust contained matters. Our dustless floor sanding runs vacuums with HEPA filters that cut airborne dust by about 90–95% while we work, and we seal off adjacent rooms with plastic film to keep the rest of the house clean.
For homeowners who want a furniture-quality surface, we also run higher-end fine-sanding systems like the Lagler Trio—a level of finish only about 5% of Massachusetts flooring companies offer. It works best in large, open rooms where the floor is clear. On installations, we use a moisture-first method built for Andover’s humid-continental seasons, where temperatures swing from roughly 19°F in winter to the mid-80s°F in summer. That means acclimating the wood on site, taking moisture-meter readings, and confirming the difference between the subfloor and the hardwood stays within 4% before we fasten or glue a single board.
Finishes You Can Live With
Most Andover homes are owner-occupied and lived in year-round, so moving out for days isn’t practical. We finish with low-VOC water-based coatings—Bona Mega One (200 VOC) and Bona Traffic HD (150 VOC)—that let you stay in the home while we coat. They cure in 3 to 5 days, compared with about 14 days for oil-based finishes, and hold their color over time.
We’ve worked on homes and commercial spaces across the Andover area. Explore our portfolio to see the results, and take a look at our YouTube channel. In a town where more than a third of homes were built before 1960, replacing original hardwood usually isn’t necessary—our wood floor restoration service brings tired, worn boards back to a durable everyday surface, so your floors hold up for years.
