Tan's Floor Service is a Stoughton, Massachusetts hardwood-flooring outfit run by Tony Le, and the work it gets hired for is unusually consistent: sanding, staining and refinishing old floors, patching damaged boards, and installing new hardwood for homeowners and the occasional commercial job across eastern Massachusetts. The company's own site says it has been at it for over twenty years; its BBB file, opened in 2002, records the business as started in 1997 with five employees. What customers describe is a small, owner-led crew doing careful restoration work on old houses. A homeowner in an 1870s Boston renovation wrote in August 2026 that their general contractor recommended Tony's team for significant floor repairs, and that the repairs on a house with 150 years of patchwork flooring were matched beautifully. A 2020 reviewer said his team refinished sixty-five-year-old oak and made an older house look new; another in 2020 described floors over a hundred years old with paint stripped back and refinished. Speed and cleanup come up repeatedly across the older written accounts — quotes given within a day, jobs finished in two days, houses left clean. There is a real other side, and it is worth reading before booking. A one-star Google review from November 2024 says flatly that the customer's money was taken, their floors ruined, and their calls unanswered. In a March 2019 HomeAdvisor review a customer said leftover wood was taken and never returned despite a promise, and that calls stopped being answered. A February 2019 reviewer said a kitchen installation completed in three days was not flush with the adjoining room and got worse over the following months. The Better Business Bureau gives the company a C+ and states the reason is failure to respond to a complaint on file. The platforms also disagree about how well-regarded the company is: HomeAdvisor publishes 4.8 from 52 ratings while Google publishes 4.1 from 14. Most of the written record is dated — twenty-five of the thirty accounts on file predate 2021 — so the deep detail about crews, pricing and cleanup comes from that earlier period rather than from current practice. This is a sensible call for restoring old hardwood in an older Massachusetts home, particularly repair-and-refinish work where matching existing boards matters. Ask for the scope and the leftover-material terms in writing, confirm what happens if the finished floor does not sit flush, and ask directly about the unanswered BBB complaint.
“Tan's Floor Service. Been using them for years, always do a quick job and looks great.”
We are doing a full renovation on a home in Boston built in the 1870s. After much consideration we decided to keep the original flooring, and needed to fine a true expert at doing significant floor repairs, as well as sanding and staining. Our GC recommended we go with Tan's Floor Service, and we're SO GLAD we did!!! Tony and his team are incredibly kind and competent. A few areas in particular that stood out to us: 1. Repairs were done beautifully. an 1870 house has a lot of different types of floors from 150 years of repairs... Tony's team matched the flooring very well (super thoughtful in the wood they chose). 2. Midway through the project, we decided we needed to replace the stairs. A lot of them were cracking, and moving in with two kids we decided now was the time to do it. Tony's team expertly replaced the stairs, including putting in the crown molding. 3. The sanding and staining was done much more thoroughly than wha we experienced with a floor crew we used in our current home. We recommend Tony and his team very highly! They were great to work with and did an fantastic job.
Very communicative Did a good job sanding and refinishing 👍

The installation process was smooth, efficient, and completed on schedule. The installers were punctual, courteous, and paid great attention to detail--leaving my home spotless after the job was done. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch service, expert craftsmanship, and beautiful results. Thank you for an amazing experience!
I Just wanted to start by saying that I had Tan’s flooring come in to my house and refinish My living room and dining room hardwood floors.The scope of work went from repairing some damaged boards, sanding and refinishing.He also replaced my wooden threshold between my living room and dining room as well as sanding and refinishing the stairs from my 1st to 2nd level. I can’t say enough good about the crew and their abilities to do such a large scope of work in such a timely fashion, as I was going on vacation and needed to have it completed before I left. The quality of the work that they did and their attention to details which included the way that they cleaned up At the end of the job, I can only say thank you again for a job well done. Thank’s again Tony Brian Amerault
Took my money, ruined my floors, and ghosted me. This man has no integrity. Stay clear of him.
