H&M Hardwood Floor Inc

H&M Hardwood Floor Inc works out of 8 Geneva Ave in Lynn and does one thing: wood floors. Installation, refinishing and repair, mostly for homes and occasionally for institutional buildings. The Better Business Bureau has accredited the business since January 2020 and grades it A+, recording it as a sole proprietorship of two employees started at the end of December 2017, with Jose M Melara as owner - though nearly every customer who writes about the work names a principal called Hugo. Reviving old floors is the bulk of what people hire them for. A 2021 reviewer had 140-year-old hardwood brought back to looking new; another that year had an old mastic floor sanded off to reveal a 100-year-old fir floor underneath, on Hugo's recommendation. A 2023 customer had several areas of mold damage under dog bowls repaired as part of a refinish, and a 2021 customer whose 1833 white oak church floors and chancel were repaired and restored said he would give six stars if he could. Installation runs alongside the refinishing. A 2025 reviewer hired them for two separate jobs, hardwood on a staircase and a children's play area, and a 2022 customer had kitchen tile replaced and the new wood finished to match the original floors in the adjoining rooms. Customers writing in the last few months describe the same pattern: one says the crew worked around their schedule on a small project, and another had a living room, dining room, four bedrooms and a hallway done, with the crew arriving on time, saying when they were finished for the day and cleaning up each evening. Speed and price are what reviewers raise most. Several describe an estimate given the day they made contact, and one 2021 customer had work begin that Saturday. A 2025 customer said Hugo came in at the best price of the three vendors they had quote the job while the quality was still high, and a 2021 customer said the job turned around as fast as the polyurethane could dry. A few things are worth pinning down in writing. The company's HomeAdvisor page advertises a ten-year warranty at no additional cost on all its services, while the same page's own FAQ answers that no warranties are offered. Its tenure figures also move around: that profile says nine years of experience and the BBB dates the business to December 2017, while the claim that every employee has over 20 years of industry experience describes the crew's careers rather than the company's age. The trading name also ends in 'Inc' where the BBB records a sole proprietorship. They suit a North Shore homeowner with old, tired wood floors who wants them saved rather than replaced, and Spanish is spoken. Confirm the warranty, the entity you are actually contracting with, and proof of insurance before work begins.
