Paul Duffy's Wood Floor Refinishing runs out of Wareham, sanding and refinishing hardwood floors across Cape Cod, the South Shore and the Plymouth area — towns from Falmouth and Bourne through Sandwich, Mashpee, Hyannis, Yarmouth and Marstons Mills. Paul Duffy owns it and does the sanding and finishing himself rather than sending a crew. The company says it has been doing this since 1983; BBB's own file, by contrast, lists the business as started 1/1/2011, so the exact founding date is worth treating as the company's own account rather than a verified fact. Reviewers keep landing on the same result: a floor that looked done for coming back looking new. One homeowner who had been told to just carpet over a ruined 1940s Cape floor instead got a refinish that beat what they expected, with a clear estimate and steady updates throughout the job. Another has hired him three separate times. A third described 40-year-old pine restored to a fresh finish, and a fourth had factory-finished floors with a flat, yellow cast turned into something with real depth and color. Across 2022 through mid-2025, the recurring notes are tidiness, minimal mess, and care taken around walls and cabinets — Google shows five stars from 11 ratings, and BBB carries an A+ grade with no complaints on file. Handyman and painting work — interior painting, deck refinishing, cleanouts — round out what he offers, though almost nothing in the written record covers that side beyond the company's own page, so it's worth confirming scope and pricing directly if that's the job. It's also worth asking Paul how the 1983 start date squares with BBB's 2011 registration, since the two don't match. For a homeowner with a hardwood floor that looks past saving, this reads as a solid call for an owner-operator who does the actual work himself rather than handing it to a crew.
I recently had Paul Duffey back to complete my wood floors in my home. This was our third time having him & his team. Their work, work ethics, concern and communication is by far second to NONE! Their skills that they possess will truly make him a friend, above and beyond any expectation. My home is 85 years old and has the hardwood throughout. They brought the life back into our place. The living room has a picture framed floor which is complicated to say the least to lay let alone refinish. The results are phenomenal. I cannot express how grateful I am for their dedication to us through out each process.
Paul recently completed the hardwood floor refinishing in our home and we are extremely pleased with the quality of his work and the attention to detail. He did a wonderful job and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to bring out the natural beauty of their hardwood floors. Paul is a true professional and a pleasure to work with!
We just purchased a 1940’s cape in Wareham, and the floors were in terrible condition. We were told we should just cover them with carpet or vinyl plank, which was so disappointing to hear. And then we were recommended by a neighbor to contact Paul Duffy. He came out and told us what he thought was possible, and we felt encouraged to proceed with the refinishing. Well, he exceeded every expectation and did a better job than we ever thought possible. He was extremely detail oriented and very communicative throughout the entire process. And his pricing was extremely reasonable on top of it! We could not be happier with the results and will recommend him to everyone.
Paul and Alba did a BEAUTIFUL job on my floors. Our 40 year old pine floors look brand new. Paul and Alba were thorough, careful, and had a fine attention to detail. I am so happy I went with Paul Duffy.
Paul Duffy recently refinished the floors in our home. The floors were factory finished hardwoods and had an awful yellow, somewhat “flat” finish. Paul did an amazing job and now the floors have a depth and color that we didn’t think was possible. In addition to doing a wonderful job, Paul was terrific to work with - he was timely, responded promptly, kept the mess to a minimum and took precautions to ensure no damage occurred to walls, counters or cabinets. I’d use Paul again without hesitation and will absolutely refer him to anyone redoing their floors.
