One of the first issues we had was a language barrier. Some of the workers could not speak or understand English. This was evident when the workers arrived one day and walked into our house unannounced. They came through a back door and almost had my wife calling the police. The one worker who could communicate did not work, he chose to smoke cigarettes on the back porch. When they began to sand the hardwood, I asked if the would put up drop cloths to contain the dust. They did not. I had to supply them with my own plastic sheets when they failed to do so. Even then, dust went all over our house, covering baby bottles, toys, glasses and dishes. When they did complete the floor, there were many issues with the floor. They originally used one coat of Polyurethane, and said they were done. We had agreed to 3.They also did not complete several transitions from the room as I agreed with Priscilla and Manny of Floor Covering International. One transition had sunken in and was noticeably not level. They chose to nail some floor boards and expose nails in the floor without applying wood puddy as they had communicated. There were clumps of Poly on the floor where they had applied in a hurry. After they finished, the left a pile of trash in my driveway, both items used at our house, and then other things from the van they clean out. All these issues made it necessary for the workers to come back several days. Once they came back to fix some of the issues but failed to fix all of them, and got upset because they had lost the list of isssues. Then they came back but failed to communicate with the owner of Floor Coverings International, Manny, and ended up getting upset again, and leaving. They never completed the job. I also witnessed the owner of Safety Flooring argue with the owner of Floor Covering International several times regarding how to perform the work, and what they were responsible for. They were rude, unprofessional and did not do quality work. I would highly reccomend staying away from this company.

All hardwood floors on first floor of town house sanded and refinished. They moved all the furniture out and replaced it. Very nice accomadating people.

All work is performed and supervised by the owner.New Hampshire number 603-881-5052. Mass number is 978-597-2333
"Lou Toppia was just the expert I needed. Not only was I expecting him to refinish my hardwood floors, I was asking him to come in and work miracles to repair the damage done by another contractor who had a damaged machine created wavy distortions to my floors. Lou made them look beautiful again! He was very honest about what he could and could not make perfect and his work always exceeded my expectations. Lou was careful to keep his work area very clean, cleaned up after himself daily and protected my other living areas by sheeting off the rooms he was refinishing. The final finish is so beautiful, with four coats of satin urethane, I think they look better than the factory finish. I would highly recommend Lou to anyone in need of hardwood flooring installation or refinishing."

FAQs for floor sanding projects in Boxborough, MA
The cost to refinish hardwood floors is $1,900 on average, ranging from $600 to $4,500, depending on the area size, the floor’s condition, the type of wood, the type of coating, and the refinishing method. Traditional refinishing includes sanding the floors, which can be very dusty and costs about $3 to $8 per square foot. Dustless refinishing uses a vacuum to collect dust during the sanding process, reducing the amount of dust produced, and costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.
You should aim to hire a professional floor cleaner once or twice per year to remove any set-in stains, resolve scratches, and make your floors look shiny and new again. If you have a bustling household with many children, pets, or severe allergies, having your floors cleaned four times per year is worth the investment to maintain the integrity of your flooring. Don’t forget to prioritize cleaning your floors yourself in between professional cleanings, too.
The cost to install hardwood flooring is about $4,800 on average, ranging from about $1,000 to $12,000. Nationally, the average cost to install hardwood floors ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for labor and materials. High-end woods and large spaces may cost $13 to $25 per square foot.
Additional cost factors include:
Square footage of the area
Type of wood
Preparation requirements
Type of finish
Location
Floor style and pattern
Plank thickness
Wood grade, color, and grain
It’s time to refinish your hardwood floors when they show signs of age that diminish their overall appearance and function. A few surefire signals that you should consider refinishing your hardwood floors include:
Gouges, scrapes, deep scratches, and dents over a significant area
Discoloration from stains or sun exposure
Water damage causing rotting, warping, or bowing
Weak, spongy, or soft spots in the floor indicating damaged subflooring
Dull and worn appearance across most of the floor
The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.
For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The cost of cleaning tile and grout is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of $0.50 to $3.50per square foot.

Hardwood floor repair costs depend on the problem. This guide breaks down common costs based on factors like the type of problem, repair method, and whether you hire a pro or DIY.
Here’s what you should expect to pay when renting an orbital, drum, vibrating, or edging floor sander—as well as where you can rent them and what else to know.
It’s impossible to keep floors damage-free over the years. Thankfully, the cost to refinish hardwood floors is far less than the price tag to replace them altogether.
