New England Floor Sanding is a Nashua, New Hampshire flooring company that says it has been in business for 42 years. Sam and his team handle hardwood installation, sanding, refinishing, staining, stairs, borders and inlays, and gymnasium flooring across New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The company lists a 27 McKean Street address and identifies Sam Merkin as its owner in the Better Business Bureau profile.
Homeowners consistently describe careful restoration work: painted, stained, scratched, gouged, uneven, antique, and heavily worn floors are repeatedly described as transformed. Reviews name specific projects including matching new and old red oak, lightening Brazilian cherry, restoring 200-year-old floors, installing white oak, and refinishing floors after another contractor left divots or poor sanding. Customers also repeatedly praise Sam's communication, punctual scheduling, fair pricing, dust containment, cleanup, and willingness to adjust stain choices or fit urgent jobs into the schedule. The 63 reviews on file span 2022–2026, with 7 in the past six months, and the Google profile shows 5 stars from 65 ratings.
Before booking, confirm the finish system, stain color, preparation requirements, timeline, and what furniture must be moved. The company's own FAQ says estimates are free, furniture and personal belongings are not moved by the crew, typical sanding and finishing takes about four days, and floors can take up to two weeks to cure fully. Its service-area page lists broad coverage across New Hampshire and Massachusetts, so verify travel availability and the precise scope for your address.
This is a strong fit for homeowners who need detailed hardwood restoration, installation, or color changes, especially difficult older floors. Ask for a written estimate and clarify the finish, dust-control plan, schedule, and post-job care before work begins.
