Shoreline Hardwood Flooring is a Harwich-based hardwood flooring company run by Charlie Breen, who has operated it as a sole proprietorship since December 2014. The business sells and installs hardwood, engineered, and laminate flooring across Cape Cod, and also offers floor sanding, staining, and refinishing. Customers who have hired Shoreline consistently describe Charlie as hands-on and personally involved, whether that means running the crew on a refinishing job or walking a homeowner through an estimate himself. One reviewer had a wide pine floor sanded from 40 to 180 grit with minimal dust before it was painted, calling the result "like new." Another homeowner, who compared quotes from six flooring companies after moving to Cape Cod, found Charlie's estimate competitive -- notably lower than at least one rival quote that ran nearly twice as high -- and described him as friendly, organized, and knowledgeable about flooring. The Better Business Bureau lists Shoreline with an A+ letter grade, though the business is not BBB Accredited -- those are two separate BBB facts, not a contradiction. No complaints or negative reports appear in the record. What's worth asking about: the public review record is still thin -- just two detailed reviews and three Google ratings so far -- so it's worth confirming current scheduling and pricing directly with Charlie before booking, especially for larger installation jobs versus smaller refinishing work. Shoreline looks like a solid pick for Cape Cod homeowners who want a small, owner-run outfit for hardwood sanding, refinishing, or new flooring installation, and who value dealing directly with the person doing or overseeing the work.
Charlie sent his crew and they sanded our wide Pine Floor that was in pretty bad shape from 40 to 180 grit. Minimum dust and the floor has now been painted and it's like new.. Thanks Shoreline!!!
We moved into a new (for us) home on Cape Cod in December 2025 and wanted to replace carpeting in two second floor bedrooms and a landing between them with hardwood flooring. We had six flooring company reps come by for estimates. Charlie gave us an estimate from Shoreline Hardwood Flooring and it was competitive with many of the others we received (especially for one that was almost twice as high!). Charlie was very friendly, organized and it was obvious that he knew a LOT about flooring. We wanted to use the same hardwood that was on the first floor and after we signed a contract we decided we wanted to increase the width of the new flooring (so instead of 2.5 inches wide we went with 3.5 inches). It wasn't an issue with Charlie which made us appreciate that he was so accommodating. Since we had just moved in there was a LOT of boxes and furniture throughout both bedrooms and Charlie agreed that they would rip up the carpeting and install/stain the hardwood flooring in one bedroom and the hallway and when that was completed and the floors were dry we would move all the stuff from the one bedroom to the completed one. This added a few days to their job but they were fine with it — again, much appreciated. Every day of the project except for one Ray and Christian were here working and they were both very friendly, hard working and patient (I would ask them questions about the process, curing time, why are you doing it like that and not like this, etc., etc.) and they were always in great spirits and didn't seem to get aggravated by my questions. They were both a great reflection on Shoreline Hardwood Flooring and I will not hesitate to call Charlie up again if we are having any more flooring work done in our home.
