Its own site dates the business to 2003 and advertises more than 20 years; the BBB profile, which carries an A+ letter grade without accreditation, puts it at 26 years and names Andy Nguyen as the sole proprietor. The stated service area runs from Quincy and Dorchester out to Cambridge, Newton, Hingham and Braintree. One report sits against that. In March 2025 Universal Hub described an insurer suing three floor companies — American Builder Hardwood Floor, Next Goal Corp. and Alpha Floor Sanding — blaming them for a fire the suit says caused at least $3.8 million in damage. That is one side of a civil case as a news site reported it, not a finding against anyone. Raise it directly when you call: ask what the company's answer to that suit is, how it handles finishes and dust control in an occupied house, and for two recent references you can phone before the sanders come out. **Strengths:** - Long operation — BBB profile lists 26 years in business - Full floor service — sales, installation, sanding, refinishing and repairs **Concerns:** - Fire lawsuit — a 2025 insurer suit names the company **Where sources disagree:** - The company's own site dates the business to 2003 and advertises 20+ years, while its BBB profile lists 26 years in business. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A Quincy hardwood floor contractor doing installation, sanding, refinishing and repair across Greater Boston and the South Shore _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://americanbuilderhardwoodfloor.com) — “American Builder Hardwood Floor is a Quincy, MA hardwood floor installation, sanding/refinishing, and repair contractor serving the Greater …” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/quincy/profile/hardwood-floor-contractors/american-builder-hardwood-floors-0021-117820) — “Services offered (Better Business Bureau): sales, installation, refinishing, sanding, repairs” - The company dates itself to 2003 and advertises more than 20 years; its BBB profile lists 26 years in business under sole proprietor Andy Nguyen _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/quincy/profile/hardwood-floor-contractors/american-builder-hardwood-floors-0021-117820) — “BBB profile for American Builder Hardwood Floors (Quincy, MA) shows an A+ rating but not BBB accredited, a sole proprietorship owned by Andy…” - [Official Website](https://americanbuilderhardwoodfloor.com) — “Company history (self-reported): The site's own blog post states the business has been 'Quincy's trusted hardwood flooring experts since 200…” - [Official Website](https://americanbuilderhardwoodfloor.com) — “Self-reported 20 years in business” - Holds an A+ letter grade from the Better Business Bureau without being BBB accredited _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/quincy/profile/hardwood-floor-contractors/american-builder-hardwood-floors-0021-117820) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/quincy/profile/hardwood-floor-contractors/american-builder-hardwood-floors-0021-117820) — “BBB main profile for American Builder Hardwood Floors (Quincy, MA): A+ rating, not accredited, 26 years in business, no reviews or complaint…” - States a service area running from Quincy and Dorchester out to Cambridge, Newton, Hingham and Braintree _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://americanbuilderhardwoodfloor.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Quincy, Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Dedham, Needham, Norwood, Dorchester, Hingham, Braintree…” - Universal Hub reported in March 2025 that an insurer is suing American Builder Hardwood Floor, Next Goal Corp. and Alpha Floor Sanding over a fire the suit says caused at least $3.8 million in damage _(confidence: high)_ - [universalhub.com](https://universalhub.com/2025/insurer-sues-wood-refinishers-fire-heavily-damaged-venerable-jacob) — “universalhub.com — blames American Builder Hardwood Floor, Next Goal Corp. and Alpha Floor Sanding for the fire, which it says caused at lea…” - Hardwood floor sanding, refinishing, installation and repair _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://americanbuilderhardwoodfloor.com) — “American Builder Hardwood Floor is a Quincy, MA hardwood floor installation, sanding/refinishing, and repair contractor serving the Greater …” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/quincy/profile/hardwood-floor-contractors/american-builder-hardwood-floors-0021-117820) — “Services offered (Better Business Bureau): sales, installation, refinishing, sanding, repairs” - Specializes in Flooring _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://americanbuilderhardwoodfloor.com) — “American Builder Hardwood Floor is a Quincy, MA hardwood floor installation, sanding/refinishing, and repair contractor serving the Greater …” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/quincy/profile/hardwood-floor-contractors/american-builder-hardwood-floors-0021-117820) — “Services offered (Better Business Bureau): sales, installation, refinishing, sanding, repairs” ## License Status: **not_found** — verified against the official MA state registry, never self-reported.
