Duffy Floors

Duffy Floors has been sanding, staining, and refinishing hardwood floors around Boston since 1927, and the company says it's now run by the third generation of the Duffy family out of Medford. Its BBB profile is accredited and rated A+, with no complaints showing up in that history, and Expertise.com named it one of the Top 9 hardwood flooring specialists in the Boston area for the 2026 season. Across its long run, homeowners dealing with older, tricky hardwood have pointed to the crew's knowledge of historic floors as a reason to call them. The one rating on Houzz is a perfect 5, and the company advertises dustless sanding with finishes rated to hold up 10 to 15 years. What's worth noting is that recent, detailed customer reviews are thin on the major platforms — Houzz shows just a single rating, even though a separate business directory lists the company with 51 reviews and two dozen photos, so the volume of feedback varies a lot depending on where you look. For a Boston-area homeowner wanting an established, multi-generation outfit for hardwood installation, refinishing, or repair on an older or historic floor, Duffy Floors has the track record to back that up; it's worth asking directly for recent references or photos of comparable jobs, since the public review count doesn't yet match a company that's been at this for nearly a century.
