# Jacob's Floor Sanding

**Trade:** Flooring · **Address:** 67 King St, Watertown, MA 02472 · **Phone:** (617) 926-2279 · **Website:** http://www.jacobfloorsanding.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.2/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 3 sources.

## The honest read

Jacob's Floor Sanding has been doing this in Watertown for 37 years, according to its Better Business Bureau listing, which also gives it an A+ grade — though the business itself is not a BBB Accredited member. That profile describes the shop's work as floor installing, refinishing, repairing, sanding, waxing and buffing.

The written record on Google is thin and mixed: a 2024 reviewer called the sanding work high quality at a fair price and said they'd recommend Jacob to anyone needing floor sanding done, while a 2022 review calls a job poor overall without saying what went wrong.

With only two reviews spanning 2022 to 2024, it's worth asking for a couple of recent references and pinning down scope and price up front, especially given that one complaint on file.

For a straightforward floor sanding or refinishing job from a shop with decades in the trade, this is worth a call — just talk through expectations before booking given the mixed record.

**Strengths:**
- Praised sanding work — a 2024 reviewer cited high quality and a fair price

**Concerns:**
- Poor job reported — a 2022 review called a job poor overall, no specifics given
