PETTER LE'S HARDWOOD FLOORS SERVICE

Petter Le's Hardwood Floors Service is a one-trade shop out of Revere: sand, refinish, repair, install wood floors, and not much else. Its Angi profile claims 22 years at it, and the people who wrote about him have known him a long while. That is where the record gets interesting — and thin. Both Angi reviews were posted in July 2020, and both read like repeat clients rather than one-off jobs. One wrote that Petter had done "at least 40 homes for me" and singled out pricing and punctuality; another said he had been hiring him for 15 to 18 years. A 2022 Google review is briefer and in the same direction, describing floors that came out well and a contractor who moved fast. The counterweight is arithmetic. Google carries 4.2 stars across five ratings while Angi shows a clean 5.0 across two — the Google average is doing something the written reviews don't show, and there aren't enough of either to say what. Three written accounts spread over 2020 to 2022 is a dated record, not a current one; nothing has been written about this business in the last four years. Angi lists the work as wood flooring install, repair, refinishing, and commercial wood flooring replacement, which matches what customers describe. Massachusetts exempts floor-covering-only contractors from home improvement contractor registration, so the absence of one here is normal for the trade. The right call if you want a hardwood specialist rather than a general remodeler, and you're comfortable hiring on a small, older set of references. Ask for two or three recent jobs you can look at, and get the scope and price in writing before he starts — the older reviews praise his pricing, but none of them are recent enough to quote back at him.
