Apex Hardwood Floors LLC

132 Google ratings, and the average is a flat 5.0. That is unusual at any volume, and it holds across a review history running from 2021 to 2026 on five different sources — 67 reviews in all, with no negative ones in the last six months. Apex Hardwood Floors works out of Revere and is run, by the company's own account and its BBB listing, by owner James Du, who says the business has served the North Shore since 1999. The work is narrow on purpose: dustless sanding and refinishing, board repair, staining, and new hardwood installation, offered to homeowners and to commercial and institutional clients across Greater Boston. Reviewers almost never write about "Apex" in the abstract — they write about James, on site, doing the sanding himself. The recent jobs give a clear picture of what he's hired for. One homeowner had new hardwood laid upstairs and then had the entire first floor sanded and refinished to match it, on a timeline tight enough that the crew worked a weekend to hit it. Another had badly damaged floors sanded, repaired, and refinished, and described the crew as in and out quickly without cutting the job short. A third had carpet pulled up in a hundred-year-old house and the floors underneath finished in two days. The pattern in those accounts is consistent: a quick quote, a schedule that holds, and a price people describe as reasonable rather than cheap. One thing worth knowing before you call: the "Best of Boston 2021" award on the company's site is its own claim, repeated nowhere else here, so treat it as marketing rather than a credential. The other is a small paperwork mismatch — the business trades as an LLC, but its BBB profile records it as a sole proprietorship with two employees. It's the kind of detail worth clarifying, along with what insurance is in place, before signing anything. This is a refinishing specialist, not a general remodeler. If your project is sanding and reviving old floors, patching damage, matching new hardwood to existing, or finding out what's under the carpet, Apex is squarely in that lane, with an A+ BBB grade and no complaints on file behind it. Get the scope, the stain choice, and the timeline in writing at the quote stage, since fast turnaround is exactly what people hire him for.
