Celtic FloorCraft

Old floors are the whole business here. Celtic FloorCraft works out of Brighton at 74 Hobson St, and the jobs people describe are almost always the same shape: hardwood that has been walked on for a century, or covered by carpet, or gouged past the point the owner assumed it could be saved. The company says it has been a licensed flooring outfit since 1996, and its site names Martin as the person who handles contact and estimates and runs the crew. The work splits between refinishing and new installation, in oak, maple, ash, birch, pine and cherry. A homeowner in July 2026 described floors in an 1890 house being restored and repaired, and called the crew professional and fast. In May, another walked through the arc from the first visit to the quote to the finished restoration. In March, a customer had a bedroom and a full basement done and singled out being talked through the process and advised on flooring choices before the work started — that advisory beat, not just the sanding, is what keeps coming back. The history behind those recent jobs is real rather than thin: 27 reviews spread from 2021 to 2026 across four sources, with Google sitting at 5 stars from 37 ratings. The pattern is unusually uniform — praise for the finish, for responsiveness, and for the crew showing up when they said they would, without a substantive complaint anywhere in the run. One practical note. The record is heavily Google-weighted, so it reflects one channel's view of the company more than a cross-section of many. And the address shows up variously as Brighton and as Boston at the same 02135 zip — they're the same place, but worth confirming when you're arranging a site visit. If your floors are original, damaged, and you've been told they need replacing, this is the kind of shop worth a second opinion from: the recurring story in these reviews is old wood being kept rather than torn out. Ask Martin for the estimate in writing and pin down the timeline and dust control before the crew starts.
