MAK Hardwood Floors does one thing: it takes an old floor apart and brings it back. A June 2025 customer with beat-up wood floors says the owner checked in before each next step to make sure they were happy with what had been done so far, and calls the prices reasonable. A March 2022 customer's praise was about a seam — they rated the way MAK blended their old floor into the new one a 10. Anthony Le runs the Revere shop, and the Angi profile claims 26 years of experience. The 2021 reviews are specific about the craft: one September 2021 homeowner describes options kept open through the demolition, the floors finished on time and the crew cleaning up every night; another that same month describes the sanding, refinishing and staining done by Anthony and his associate. A November 2021 customer with chemical sensitivities says he used the materials they needed and that he and his assistant moved the heavy furniture room by room to fit their schedule. Two accounts go the other way, and both are about what happened around the work rather than the floor itself. A February 2024 reviewer says the prep was insufficient and the sanding a disaster, with dust everywhere and only a half-hearted effort at putting down coverings, and that Anthony argued when asked to make it right. An October 2021 customer called the floors decent but says a kitchen cabinet was damaged, the areas around the fridge and stove were done unprofessionally, and an invoice they had requested weeks earlier never arrived. Those are the two lowest-rated accounts on a 14-review Angi page that is 86% five-star. The written history runs from June 2021 to June 2025, so it describes how the shop worked across those years. For sanding, staining and refinishing an existing hardwood floor — the job these reviews describe — this is a specialist, and the finished floors are what people write about. Before booking, put dust containment and what gets covered in writing, walk the kitchen and the appliance edges with Anthony before the sander starts, and ask when the invoice will come.
Very hard working and does absolutely fantastic work. Very reasonable prices. Owner is extremely conscientious of his work and before he went to the next step asked that we were happy. He added lots of value to my home for wood floor that were beat up. He brought them back to like new luster. Did not try to over sell replacement but was very willing to restore floors.
The prep work was insufficient. The coating was adequate. The sanding was a DISASTER. Dust everywhere. They made a very half hearted effort to put down coverings. Argued with me when I asked him to make it right. Avoid Anthony. He belongs back where he started reselling produce in Haymarket!
Quick and efficient
I would rate MAK a 10 on the way they blended our old floor with our new. Their flexibility working around the other contractors saved us too. They adjusted their schedule to respond to ours. Overall - amazing service. I'm reading the other reviews and agree with them. Tony was very communicative - calling and texting.
Anthony was very responsive, and willing to use the materials I needed because of my chemical sensitivities. He was willing to adjust the schedule to accommodate my need to move furniture from room to room being finished, and he and his assistant moved the heavy items for me. He unfailingly showed up when scheduled, communicated very well, and was always available when I called with questions or concerns. And his prices were very reasonable, compared with the other quotes I received. I highly recommend him.
