We specialize in hardwood floor installation, refinishing & repair in Quincy and we customize each project to the home in front of us. Quincy has some of the oldest housing stock in Massachusetts – about four in 10 homes were built before 1939 – and it shows in the floors, with streetcar-era two-families and triple-deckers in North Quincy and Wollaston, 1880s worker cottages, center-entrance colonials in Merrymount, and converted-mill and high-rise condos around Quincy Center. In many of these homes neighbors share walls and ceilings so keeping dust contained is important. Our standard is dustless floor sanding, with HEPA-filter dust control that reduces airborne dust by around 90–95% while we’re working, with the surrounding rooms plastic-sealed. We also work within your association’s sound and underlayment rules in apartment and condo buildings.
For open-plan condos or large parlor floors, we can step up to higher-end sanding systems like the Lagler Trio, which give a "furniture-quality" surface and work best over large, clear spans. Quincy’s setting is where installation really counts. The city sits right on Quincy Bay and Boston Harbor and with a humid, maritime climate, the moisture stays high all year round so wood moves with the seasons. We use a moisture-first approach. We acclimate the boards on site. We take moisture readings, and we verify that the difference between the subfloor and the hardwood is within 4% before we fasten or glue. That is why a coastal floor stays tight through winter heat and the humid air of August.
Finishes You Can Live With
A lot of Quincy floors are in occupied condos, two-families and triple-deckers, where moving out for a week is not a realistic proposition. Our water-based finishes, Bona Mega One and Bona Traffic HD, are low-VOC (150–200 compared to about 700 for oil-based), so you can usually stay in the home while we coat. They cure in 3–5 days instead of the 14 or so that an oil-based finish needs and they hold their color instead of ambering over time.
We have done both residential and commercial work all over Quincy and the South Shore. See our portfolio for the results, and our YouTube channel to see how the work is actually carried out. With so many older, well-built homes across the City of Presidents, restoring original floors often makes more sense than tearing them out. Our wood floor restoration service was created to bring worn boards back to life and keep them in use for years to come.
