Hunt Custom Milled Wood Floors has been milling and installing custom hardwood flooring out of Lexington, Massachusetts since 1987 — a long enough run that owner Pat Hunt gets called on as an expert source, not just a vendor. The company's name shows up in some notable places. In a 2017 Boston Magazine kitchen-inspiration feature, its white oak flooring sample was credited among the materials used, and a 2014 kitchen feature named its walnut herringbone floor among the custom materials in a high-end renovation. This Old House has turned to Pat Hunt directly for hardwood-repair advice, cautioning readers that matching an existing polyurethane finish can be tricky and recommending a full board be coated rather than spot-treating a small blemish. Its work also reaches beyond residential jobs: a newsletter from Harvard's Farlow Herbarium describes a crew from the company refinishing the reading room floor at the Farlow Library after the space was cleared out for the work. There's no customer-review history on file yet to check pricing or day-to-day service against, so a homeowner would be leaning on the company's long tenure and its press and institutional credits rather than a stack of reviews — worth asking for references from a recent residential job before booking.
