Advantage Hardwood Flooring says on its website that it was established in 2003 as an owner-operated business serving the Lakes Region and White Mountains of New Hampshire, and that it handles hardwood floor repairs, replacement, installation and refinishing. A recent Google customer had floors over 30 years old that had never been refinished and thought they could not be fixed; Richard refinished them, explained everything and answered all of that customer's questions. A 2026 customer said Rich brought 33-year-old red oak floors that were very worn back to look good as new. A 2025 customer described hardwood floors that were black in places, with water damage from plants; after a few days with Rich, that customer said, visitors asked if the floors were new. That 2025 customer also had Rich sand and refinish their dark hardwoods so all the floors match. A 2025 customer said Rich restored multiple rooms of wide pine floors with cut nails and installed new matching floors in two rooms that had been carpeted. A 2025 customer said Richard and his son refinished their pine floors, and Richard recommended keeping them natural with no stain. A 2024 customer said Richard and his son refinished 30-year-old pine floors that needed extra work to glue some cracks, and that the price was a little more than other quotes that customer got. A 2024 customer who was new to the area said Rich explained his process and options over the phone and at the site visit, and that the job started and finished on schedule. A 2023 customer said they received progress pictures and regular updates.

My hard wood floors are over 30 years old and never been refinished. They were horrible and I thought they couldn't be fixed. Richard did a fantastic job. He explained every thing and answered all my questions. I still have to smile every time I look at them. So glad I chose him to refinish my floors. I definitely recommend Advantage Hardwood Flooring.
33 year old red oak floors were very worn and looked awful. Rich at Advantage did an outstanding job bringing them back to look good as new. Very detailed oriented, I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Rich and Advantage if you are thinking of having your floors redone
Here's what you need to know: Rich is a floor wizard - the legit Galndalf the White of refinishing hardwood flooring. We moved into a house with light hardwood floors that were literally black in places from years of abuse and neglect . There was water damage from plants and wear patterns etched into the floors. Our hopes were low. A few days with Rich and people who visit us ask if our floors are new. We also had him sand and refinish our super dark hardwoods so now all of our floors match. It's been about 5 months since project completion and they still look spectacular. I also really appreciate how Rich teaches you to take care of the floors once he's done. 10/10 recommend.
Richard and his son did an amazing job refinishing our pine floors. They were worn down to the wood and Richard recommended keeping them natural looking with no stain. We are so thrilled with the results. He truly is a skilled professional and we would recommend him to anyone who has hardwood floors.
Rich did a beautiful job restoring multiple rooms of wide pine floors with cut nails, and installing new seamlessly matching floors in two rooms that were carpeted. He also refinished mahogany floors on a weathered screened-in porch for us.
