Apex Hardwood Floors LLC

Four bedrooms of new white oak, 800 square feet of it, and James lined the strips up so each room's boards carried on with the hallway's — tight to the baseboard, no gaps. The customer who wrote that in March 2024 noticed the alignment, which is the sort of thing you only notice when someone doesn't bother. Apex Hardwood Floors is James's shop, based in Revere and working Greater Boston and the North Shore. The site says the company has been on the North Shore since 1999, offers dustless sanding and refinishing, repair, staining and installation for residential and commercial clients, and reports being named a top choice for hardwood services in Boston Magazine's Best of Boston in 2021. Old floors are the specialty. A February 2026 customer had the carpets pulled up in a 100-year-old house and the floors finished in two days. In May 2025 another had the original pine in an 1875 townhouse refinished, and in August 2025 a homeowner with a very old, scarred oak floor said James did it the next day when they said they needed it soon. A March 2024 customer had damage left by previous owners repaired after several other companies had told them the floors needed replacing. Scheduling comes up again and again. When a refinisher cancelled and left a homeowner in a bind in September 2025, they found Apex online and the crew came down the next day. A July 2026 customer had new hardwood laid upstairs and the first floor sanded and refinished to match, with James working a weekend to hit an aggressive timeline. A September 2025 customer had two bedrooms, a hallway and a living room refinished within a week of reaching out. The money side reads the same way. A February 2024 customer said he held true to his initial quote and helped them choose the color by sending photos of previous jobs, and a May 2025 customer said the job came in exactly as quoted. An August 2025 homeowner noted the crew worked to keep dust out of the rest of the house. For refinishing what you already have — including boards other people have written off — or for new hardwood that has to meet an existing floor, this is an outfit that sweats the seams. Ask James to walk you through the finishes before booking: a 2022 customer was talked through refinishing room by room versus all at once, and another that year was steered to a satin finish to help hide scratches.
