What we do

Hardwood Flooring Services for Every Room

Our four services cover the floors most homes in the area have or want: renewing the hardwood you already own, installing new solid hardwood, installing engineered hardwood where solid wood is a poor fit, and installing luxury vinyl plank where water and heavy use are part of daily life.

Why it matters

Good Floors Start With Careful Sanding

Most of the difference between a refinished floor that looks new and one that looks tired comes from the sanding. Every pass has to be even, the edges have to blend with the field, and the old finish has to come off completely, or the stain shows every mistake. That is where we spend our time.

  • Sanding in stages, from coarse to fine, for an even surface
  • Small gaps and nail holes filled with wood filler before the finish
  • Stain samples on your own floor before the whole room is colored
  • Coats of finish applied in the sheen you choose

The same attention goes into new installations: a flat, dry subfloor, boards laid out so the room looks balanced, and clean transitions at doorways and stairs.

A flooring project is easier when you know what happens and when. We start with a visit to your home and a written quote, plan the rooms so you know which areas are closed and for how long, do the sanding or the installation, and finish with a walkthrough, so you see the floor with us before we leave.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Hardwood Flooring

These are the questions homeowners ask us most often before they hire a hardwood flooring company in Greater Boston: what we do, where we work, refinishing or new floors, pricing, stairs, insurance, and how to prepare. If your question is not answered here, ask it with your estimate request and we will reply.

What does GB Hardwood Floor Inc do?

GB Hardwood Floor Inc is a hardwood flooring company based in Norwood, Massachusetts. We refinish hardwood floors and staircases, install new solid hardwood floors, install engineered hardwood, and install luxury vinyl plank flooring. Every project starts with a free in-home estimate, and our team brings more than seventeen years of experience working with wood floors.

Which areas do you serve?

We work in thirty-two cities and towns across Greater Boston, including Norwood, Boston, Newton, Brookline, Cambridge, Wellesley, Needham, Dedham, Milton, Quincy, Weymouth, and Hingham. Our service areas page lists every one of them by county. If your town is close by but not on the list, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

Should I refinish my hardwood floors or install new ones?

If the boards are solid hardwood and still have enough wood above the tongue, refinishing usually gives you a floor that looks new for far less work than a full installation. New flooring makes more sense when you want a different wood or layout, or when a room has carpet or another floor today. We look at the floor in person and explain the options.

How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost?

The price depends on the square footage, the condition of the current finish, whether you want a stain color or a natural look, the number of finish coats, and whether a staircase is part of the job. We do not quote from a phone call. We measure the rooms at a free in-home estimate and send the price in writing.

Do you refinish stairs?

Yes. Stair refinishing is part of our hardwood floor refinishing service. Treads are sanded by hand and with smaller machines, then stained to match or contrast with the floor and finished with the same care. Many of our photos show staircases with stained treads, white risers, and wood or iron railings next to newly refinished floors.

Do you install engineered hardwood and vinyl plank flooring?

Yes. Besides solid hardwood, we install engineered hardwood flooring, which works well over concrete and in some basements, and luxury vinyl plank, a water-resistant option for basements, kitchens, laundry rooms, and busy family spaces. During the estimate we look at the subfloor and the room and recommend the product that fits how you live.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. GB Hardwood Floor Inc is licensed and insured, and we are glad to show proof of insurance before the work begins. We are a local company with our office at 1211 Washington Street in Norwood, and the team that works on your floors brings more than seventeen years of experience with hardwood flooring.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Estimates and consultations are free, and there is no obligation to hire us. We visit your home, look at the floors and the rooms involved, take measurements, and talk about colors, finishes, and timing. Then we send a written estimate, so you can compare it with other quotes and decide without any pressure.

How should I prepare my home for floor work?

The rooms we work on need to be empty, so plan where furniture, rugs, and small items will go, and tell us during the estimate if you need help thinking it through. Pets and children should stay away from the work area. We explain when you can walk on the floor again and when furniture can come back.

How do I schedule a free estimate?

Call (857) 540-2447 or send the form on this page with your ZIP code, the service you need, and a few details, such as the rooms involved, approximate square footage, stairs, or a move-in date you are working toward. We contact you to set up a visit, look at the floors in person, and send a written estimate.
