Superior Hardwood Floors

Superior Hardwood Floors is a Reading, MA business built entirely around one trade — sanding, refinishing, and installing hardwood — run by Cliff, whose crew HomeAdvisor's profile describes as relatives who've worked the trade for decades, and whose own listing there cites 40 years of experience. The written record backs that up at a scale most contractors don't reach: 41 reviews from 2018 through 2026, every single one five stars, with nine more in just the past six months and none negative. What repeats across nearly a decade of that record is strikingly consistent — dust control comes up again and again ('minimal dust I had to clean,' 'not a speck anywhere'), so does fair, upfront pricing, and so does Cliff showing up on the days he says he will. He's also handled harder jobs well: a 2018 review describes him matching replacement wood to repair holes left by removed radiators so precisely 'you can't even tell they're not from the original floor,' and another 2018 job blended roughly 1,700 square feet of new hardwood seamlessly into an existing floor. A 2019 job walks through a six-room, roughly 1,600-square-foot oak installation with a mahogany border inlay matched to an existing dining-room pattern, while a 2019 review of a whole-house refinish — stairs included — describes sanding, patching, and several coats of oil-based polyurethane completed by Cliff and one employee over about a week. More recently, a 2026 review of a historic, uneven-floored home says he kept the work in keeping with the house's era, and a 2023 review had him bringing floors over 50 years old back to looking new. Nothing in the written record raises a concern — the praise is specific rather than generic and has held steady across eight years and dozens of jobs. Anyone booking should still confirm current lead times, since a business this consistently recommended tends to book out.
