Eco Floor Sanding

Eco Floor Sanding is a Waltham hardwood flooring specialist known for one thing above all: leaving almost no dust behind. The company, run by owner Berj Gyulakian, says on its site that it launched in 2015 (BBB records put its start in January 2016, with eight employees today) and works across Greater Boston on hardwood sanding, refinishing, staining, and repair, plus new hardwood, carpet, and luxury vinyl installation. That reputation holds up across three dozen Google reviews spanning 2021 through 2025, every one five stars, with the same detail surfacing again and again: crews that show up on schedule, send daily updates, and pack up a house with essentially no sanding dust in the work area — one reviewer put it as "zero, zilch, zip, nada." Berj is named directly in most of them, walking homeowners through water-based versus polyurethane finish choices and matching century-old oak to new material on repair jobs. A 2025 review describes a full first-floor red-oak refinish in a 90-year-old house, and another 2025 write-up from a repeat customer recounts Eco returning about five years after an initial first-floor job to redo the second floor. A 2023 review covers repairing floor sections that had rotted from a hidden leak under a condo's brickwork. One reviewer who works as a general contractor described Eco as a subcontractor who communicates well and takes pride in the work; a 2024 review describes two installers tearing out wall-to-wall carpet and putting down new hardwood in a single day. The company also holds National Wood Floor Association membership, three Houzz Awards and a Houzz Badge, and carries a Better Business Bureau A+ rating. A 2024 item on openpr.com described the company as a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave, one of the businesses neighbors nominate directly. The one caution worth flagging: in a 2024 review, one customer called the work "not inexpensive" — good, but not the budget option — so a written estimate up front is worth having before committing to a full refinish. For an older home with original hardwood that needs real attention, or a multi-room refinish where dust control matters, Eco Floor Sanding is a strong regional pick — confirm finish options and timeline for your specific floors before booking.
