Dan's Custom Hardwood Floors has been refinishing and installing hardwood floors around Hingham, Massachusetts for 25 years, a milestone the trade press marked in 2026 when the company opened its first showroom. The reviews people left about the work itself, mostly written between 2014 and 2017, tell a consistent story: crews that show up on schedule, protect the rest of the house while they sand, and leave with barely a trace of dust. One homeowner needed a whole house refinished inside a one-week window before moving in, and Jimmy's team was sanding within an hour of closing; another spent nine months on a kitchen renovation and called the crew the most fair and thoughtful subcontractor on the job. A kitchen floor finished in a custom Woca white oil, a badly scuffed high-traffic floor brought back to like-new in a single day, a botched staining job from a different contractor corrected and matched to a dark stain throughout a whole house, a complicated multi-wood parquet project praised by another flooring professional — the specifics repeat across different customers and different years. More recently, a January 2026 review described a different experience: a customer said a hardwood problem went unaddressed after several calls, and that more material had been ordered for the job than was needed. It's the one account in eleven that doesn't match the pattern above, and it's worth asking about directly. The company also carries a Bona Certified Craftsman credential, two NWFA certifications for installation and inspection, and Houzz's Best of Houzz service award for 2015 through 2017. Anyone calling should know the detailed praise here is largely a few years old rather than freshly written, even as the business itself just marked a quarter-century in business with a new showroom. For a refinishing or installation job on the South Shore, the historical record is strong; it's reasonable to ask how a callback or follow-up issue gets handled before booking.

“Dan’s Custom Hardwood Flooring recently announced that it has opened a new, and first ever, showroom in Hingham, Massachusetts. The company added that this celebration also commemorated 25 years of being in business.”
“Jimmy and crew at Dan’s Flooring were great. They were able to fit us in at the last minute, and did an amazing job on our floors. Everyone who has seen them comments how great they came out. The crew was quick, polite and left the house spotless.”
After numerous calls he failed to come back to fix [ in my opinion ] A problem with the hardwood floor that probably take an hour to fix. Ordered much more material for the job then was needed, which he took back Very disappointed in Jim
The installers of my prefinished hardwood floor, railing and new stair treads did an excellent job; they arrived promptly at scheduled times and left their work spaces immaculate. It was a pleasure to work with a company that charged a fair price and followed through with requests.
We were new to town two years ago and used Dan's Hardwood Floors based on our realtors recommendation to install and re-finish floors on the first floor. The floors turned out beautiful so when we moved across town we called Jimmy again. We had an extremely tight window (1 week) to refinish the floors in the entire house and Jimmy's team met us at the house within an hour of closing and had his team start sanding/replacing boards. They are dependable and extremely hard workers and the floors turned out amazing and in time for my family to move in as scheduled! Highly recommend!
We are very pleased with the kitchen/entryway refinishing that Dan's Custom Hardwood just completed at our home. Jimmy worked with us to find the finish that would give us the look that we wanted. We chose a Woca White Oil finish for our 5 " white oak kitchen floor and a Woca Black Oil finish for our 8 inch reclaimed Douglas Fir floor in our entryway...fabulous finish, just what we wanted! We couldn't be more pleased with the look. Jimmy and his crew are very professional and hardworking, they even came in to complete the job over the weekend..Saturday and Sunday! This kitchen renovation project has lasted over 9 months now. We have had a lot of disappointing subcontractors that we have had to chase, who have done less than stellar work and who have charged us a small fortune. Jimmy and Dan's flooring have been one of the most professional, thoughtful and fairest contractors on this whole project. Jimmy even did some refinishing in our living room free of charge so that the new kitchen floor would flow into the living room....greatly appreciated! Thanks for everything.
Dan’s is by far one of the best companies we have ever hired. We had about 2000 ft² of mostly red oak refinished with a gorgeous stain designed just for our house. Jimmy (Dan's son) considers flooring an "art." He has a genuine desire to make sure the job is done right and wouldn’t leave until we were 100% happy. It shows in the end product. Our floors are just beautiful. We didn't have any of the issues experienced by friends who used other companies (machine marks, uneven staining, under-sanding, excessive dust etc.). After seeing our floors, they all said they wished they had used Dan's. It’s really hard to find great companies like this today and I could not recommend them more.
