East Coast Floors says on its Better Business Bureau profile that it offers installation, sanding, finishing and refinishing of hardwood floors, that it was established in Massachusetts in 1985 and employs two people, and that John Snow is the owner. The Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ grade. On a recent job, John came right out and installed new hardwood floors in a beachfront house, and the reviewer then had him do a rental property across the street as well. In a 2025 review, John and Nick did the floors, moved the heavy furniture, and worked over the weekend to finish the job on time. In another 2025 review, they priced out floors that needed repair in the reviewer's grandmother's home, which was being prepared for sale, and completed other projects the reviewer needed done. In a 2024 review, John and his team resurfaced wood floors over 100 years old, working long hours and weekends to finish on time. In a 2023 review, the reviewer said they refinished "very scarred oak floors" in a recently purchased home while the reviewer was still living out of state. In another 2023 review, Jon and Mike were on time, and the baseboards and trim were also fixed. A 2026 review describes a very different job: John and the co-workers never showed up for more than 3 hours a day, the reviewer kicked them off the job on day 3, and the flooring already laid has since buckled upward and shifted to the point that it has to be redone. In that 2026 review, the reviewer also said one worker was found in the reviewer's freezer and the kids' popsicles and other snacks were gone, and that no construction adhesive or ring shank nails were used on the stair treads.
We called East Coast floors and john came right out. He did a beautiful job installing new hardwood floors in our beachfront house looks absolutely stunning!!! We loved it so much we had him do a rental property across the street as well!! completely changed the whole look of the house!! He was clean, efficient, timely, and priced right!
John and the various co workers (almost always different for the 3 days here) never showed up for more than 3 hours a day. Found one of them in our freezer and all of our kids popsicles and other snacks gone. Then the employee denied taking them after literally seeing him in the freezer! There was some drugged out looking lady in the van a couple of times just sitting there while the two guys "worked". Would not recommend this company to anyone. The quality of work was so bad I kicked them off of the job on day 3 but unfortunately all the flooring was laid down already and has since buckled upwards and shifted a ton to the point has to be redone completely. I did all but 1 stair tread myself after kicking them off the job and guess what stair tread squeaks everything we step on it, the only one John installed. No PL (construction adhesive) used, and not even ring shank nails on the stair treads. Company is a joke. l assume any positive Google reviews are fake because from what I saw this company is unable to produce anything close to high quality work. When all these issues were brought up, John the owner said I wasn't the typical homeowner and I was being too picky. I used to have my own home improvement company, was just trying to speed up putting my house back together after a house fire by hiring out local contractors, but the standard for a professional flooring company shouldn't change. Everyone else involved in our project was great, the plasterer, electrician, roofer, but East coast flooring was the absolute worst to work with. Stay far far away!!
John and Nick did an amazing job on our floors! The quote was very reasonable and they did all the moving of our heavy furniture to get the job done. They even worked over the weekend to finish the job on time and help us move our furniture back into place. Our floors look beautiful!
ABOVE AND BEYOND! While prepping my grandmothers home for sale and under an unbelievable amount of stress and in need of flooring to be repaired. While on Google I came across East Coast Floors and not only did they price out my floors at an amazing price, but they were able to complete so many other projects I needed done! Not only in a very timely manner but very professional, easy going, and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend and will be using many more times in the future!
John of East Coast Floors and his Team did an amazing job resurfacing the wood floors in my home. They worked tirelessly in order to ensure the floors were completed on time, working long hours and weekends. Despite being over 100 years old, the floors look absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend East Coast Floors for any of your flooring projects! Thank you!
