Apex Hardwood Floors is James's Revere-based hardwood flooring company, offering dustless sanding and refinishing, repair, staining and installation for residential, commercial, institutional and industrial clients across Greater Boston and the North Shore. The company says it's been serving the North Shore since 1999, and Boston Magazine named it a top choice for hardwood services in its 2021 Best of Boston feature. The consistency here is remarkable — 67 reviews from 2021 through 2026, and every single one on file is five stars, with the Better Business Bureau separately confirming zero complaints on record. Reviewers repeatedly describe James personally handling difficult, old-house work: a February 2026 review describes pulling up carpet and finishing a full job in two days in a 100-year-old home; a 2025 review describes refinishing original pine floors in an 1875 townhouse. Several reviews describe James stepping in after another contractor cancelled or fell through, including a September 2025 review describing his crew arriving the next day after the original refinisher backed out. A March 2024 review specifically praises the absence of the sanding swirls left by a previous contractor. Multiple reviewers are repeat customers — one May 2025 review describes hiring James a second time in two years, having him do the upstairs first and the first floor later. Recent activity, five reviews in the past six months, keeps the pattern unbroken. For hardwood refinishing or installation on the North Shore or in Greater Boston, especially in an older home with existing damage or an uncooperative timeline, Apex's unbroken run of five-star, detailed reviews over five years makes it one of the strongest options on file.

James and his team did an amazing job on our floors. They laid new hardwood upstairs, then sanded and refinished the first floor to match. James provided exceptional service and great communication, pushing to work a weekend to meet our aggressive timeline — which he met successfully. Couldn’t recommend the Apex team more!
Outstanding job. The owner showed up right on time and worked non-stop. He did a great job on my hardwood floors. He is professional, courteous, excellent manner. I highly recommend him to everyone.
James was responsive, knowledgeable and fairly priced - he got in/out quickly while doing a thorough job of sanding, repairing and refinishing my badly damaged wood floors - very happy with the service and outcome!
James was incredibly efficient and professional. He did a great job on our floors, and I would work with him again.
