Renaissance Hardwood Floors is a one-person, Manchester, New Hampshire hardwood floor sanding, staining, and refinishing business run by Dan. The business carries an A+ Better Business Bureau grade and, going by its Google page, is one of the most consistently reviewed small operators in the area — 87 ratings, averaging five stars, with dozens of detailed written accounts stretching from 2022 through the most recent months of 2026. The pattern across those reviews is unusually consistent. Homeowners repeatedly describe Dan as fast to respond — several mention he answers calls and gives quotes quickly, including one reviewer who reached him by phone on a Sunday — and as communicative throughout the job, with regular updates and a clear explanation of finish options (oil versus water-based) before work starts. Reviewers also describe him as punctual, tidy, and reliably finishing on the schedule he sets. The craftsmanship record is deep and specific rather than generic: reviewers describe him restoring severely worn floors — a room untouched for 20-plus years, 70-to-100-year-old white oak, maple, and southern yellow pine, stair treads damaged by a previous contractor's poor sanding — back to a like-new finish. One review comes from the owner of a local painting company who separately hired Dan to repair hardwood damaged by a cleaning-agent spill, a small but notable sign of trust from within the trade. Another reviewer specifically called the pricing very fair. Recent activity backs up the long record: 12 reviews in the last six months, all positive, none of them concerning. There is no negative review, complaint, or conflicting account anywhere in what's published about this business. Anyone hiring should still confirm current availability and get a written quote, since none of the reviews speak to project cost beyond the one mention of fair pricing, but the volume and consistency of detailed, specific praise here is about as strong a signal as a small local contractor's public record gets.
We had Dan from Renaissance Hardwood Floors LLC refinish the hardwood floors in our living room and kitchen. The kitchen was in tough shape after years of rolling chairs and heavy traffic, with worn-through and stained areas. The living room had rugs over parts of it, so the exposed sections had been sun-bleached into a completely different color. Dan breathed new life into both rooms — they honestly look brand new. He's a detail-oriented, hard worker and finished the whole job in a couple of days. He used a penetrating oil finish rather than polyurethane, and he was genuinely helpful about ongoing care, walking me through how to clean and maintain the floors and what product to use. He said I should be good for six to eight years before needing a maintenance coat. Hopefully he's still around then — I'd have him back without hesitation. Highly recommended.
Highly recommend Dan the floor man! Super responsive, excellent communication, extremely knowledgeable, amazing quality, and overall great company!
My dinning room floors were yellow ish, full of scratches and some black marks,a totally different color from my beautiful living room. Till someone recommended Renaissance floors! What a beautiful experience!! They are professional, very efficient and So kind people! The customer service its amazing! Strongly recommended!!
I could not be happier with the way my hardwood floors turned out. Service was above and beyond what I expected.
Hired Renaissance Hardwood to refinish red oak flooring and a parquet hallway. Our goal was to restore the floor back to its natural color with a more matte finish. Out of all the contractors who came to give us a quote, Dan asked us the most questions about what we were looking for, went over options, and provided the most honest information about what outcome we could expect. He was able to work with us on scheduling so the work was performed while we were away on a trip. We came back to a brilliantly done floor. The finish is flawless and gorgeous. He replaced several boards which had been damaged by cat urine and I cannot find where the replacement was done. He also did an excellent job on dust control and cleaning. I've already recommended him to one other person and will continue to do so. Thanks Dan! Oh - Honestly I was just a little suspicious of all the 5 star reviews, so I'll add - Dan didn't provide any compensation/discount or payment to me to write this review at all.
