Services
Hardwood Floor Installation
We install premium hardwood flooring using oak, maple, ash, pine, and exotic woods. Our team ensures proper acclimation, subfloor preparation, and precise installation techniques. Clients benefit from enhanced property value, timeless aesthetics, and durable flooring solutions tailored to their specific needs.
Wood Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing process includes multi-stage sanding, repair of surface imperfections, and application of protective finishes. We use Bona-certified products that enhance wood beauty while resisting daily wear. This extends floor lifespan and restores original luster without full replacement costs.
Gymnasium Flooring
Specializing in athletic facility installations and renovations, we handle court dimensions, shock-absorbing substrates, and line re-striping. Our expertise includes proper expansion joint maintenance and high-traffic finish applications that meet sports safety standards.
Stairs Refinishing
Our stair refinishing covers treads, risers, and handrails. We repair structural damage, apply custom stains, and install protective coatings that meet building codes. The process includes edge reinforcement to withstand heavy usage while maintaining aesthetic continuity with floor surfaces.
Custom Staining
We offer Minwax and DuraSeal stain options with on-site color testing. Our specialists match existing tones or create unique patterns using border inlays. The staining process enhances wood grain characteristics while maintaining long-term color stability against UV exposure.

BELIEVE THE FIVE STAR REVIEW! Having our floors refinished was fast and painless, words you don't often use when speaking of home improvement projects. Because of Sam's knowledge and flexibility, they were able to start just two weeks after our very first conversation! Paulo and his crew were amazing craftsmen, sharing pictures and advising along the way. Our house feels brand new!

We recently purchased our new home in Hampton NH. Sam and his professional crew refinished some existing hardwood flooring, and seamlessly blended in new with it. We also added two additional floors of new flooring in our three level townhouse. The color is classic gray on white oak and is absolutely stunning! We highly recommend New England Floor Sanding!

I can't say enough good things about Sam and his crew! They were willing to help fix a terrible job done by another company on very short notice before I moved into this house. My floors are beautiful! They did an outstanding job! They kept me in the loop from the beginning, letting me know their plan and updated me along the way! Thank you very much!

We had all of our hardwood floors and stairs sanded and refinished in a darker color. They look fabulous! Samuel did an excellent job of putting down new wood in one room and Pablo and John sanded, stained and refinished everything. They did an excellent job, and they were the nicest guys to work with for the week. We couldn't be more happy.
