We do hardwood floor installation, refinishing and repair in Sherborn and the work looks different depending on which Sherborn you live in. The floors in the town center, in the Sherborn Center and Edward’s Plain–Dowse’s Corner districts, part of a recorded inventory of more than 200 historic properties, are older, softer, and often patched more than once. The picture is different outside the center. Roughly half the housing units in Sherborn were constructed between 1960 and 1979, in the one-, two- and three-acre developments that sprouted up after the war. Those colonials are now carrying fifty years of oak. Most are still family homes full-time. That’s why we do dustless floor sanding on every job as standard, with HEPA filtered vacuum systems that reduce airborne dust by around 90–95% and plastic film sealing off the rooms we aren’t working in.

Sherborn floor plans tend to be large and continuous, which is where our higher tier sanding earns its cost. The Lagler Trio is the most advanced fine sanding machine on the market and only about 5% of the flooring companies in Massachusetts have one. It removes straight and chattering marks across wide open areas and leaves a furniture quality surface. So it works far better with a long great room or a connected first floor than a small closed off space. On new installations, we start with the moisture, not the nail gun. We acclimate the wood on site for several days, we take readings with high sensitivity meters and we verify the difference between subfloor and hardwood is within 4% before anything is fastened or glued. That matters more in Sherborn than in most towns – the wetlands and ledge and soil conditions around town mean lots of homes sit on damp ground, and the seasonal humidity swing in New England causes boards to move every year whether the subfloor was checked or not.

We’ve done work in Sherborn and surrounding MetroWest communities and you can see the diversity in our portfolio or on our YouTube channel. Older Sherborn homes often need repairing before they need refinishing: board replacement, feathered-in patches where a wall or radiator moved, seams that opened up over a damp crawlspace. If you own inside a historic district, one point worth knowing is that the Historic District Commission reviews only exterior features and does not review interior work, so your floors are your decision. If you live in a condo or townhouse community in the town, please check your association’s rules on work hours before you schedule.
