Unique Hardwood Floor is a Boston shop built around hardwoods — sanding, refinishing, new installs, plus stairs and repairs. It describes itself as family-owned on its HomeAdvisor profile, and the person doing the work in nearly every review is Tuan, with his wife Tiffany handling calls and scheduling. Its HomeAdvisor page carries 33 ratings averaging 4.1, though the five written reviews on file all date from 2017 to 2021 — real accounts, just not recent ones — and they split cleanly into two camps. On the positive side, a 2021 review described a careful resand of a century-old hallway floor with an estimate in line with competing quotes; a 2020 review praised Tuan for hand-finishing every edge, transition piece and stair and leaving the house spotless; and a 2017 review credited the crew with turning a carpet-covered, beat-up staircase into a refinished floor at a reasonable price. The complaints are just as specific. A 2021 review said the crew skipped a dustless sanding system, leaving dust throughout the house and poly on the baseboards that had to be redone. A 2017 review described a repair stain that didn't match the original floor, with streaks left on the walls and a fridge — the company's reply pointed to the age and discontinued match of the original wood. Worth asking before booking: what dust-containment method they use, and, on an older-floor repair, how a stain mismatch would be handled if the match isn't exact. For a straightforward refinish or a stair job, the five-star reviews here read like the norm; for a trickier match-the-old-floor repair, it's worth talking through dust control and stain expectations up front.

Unique Hardwood floor resanded and refinished a small hallway of old home (early 1900s) with original wood floors. Good condition but a few rough patches. Unique floor quickly provided estimate and scheduled work. Estimate in line with others received. Floor looks great. Rough patch is much better. Would hire again.
Very sloppy. They did not use a dustless sanding system and as a result there was dust everywhere. Also there was poly all over the baseboards so now I have to redo those.
I needed my floors buffed and poly-ed (about 1,800 sq. ft.). Within a few minutes of submitting my quote request on HomeAdvisor, Tiffany called to set up an appointment for a quote. Tiffany and Tuan were on time and provided a great quote. They were able to do the work about two days later. On **work day**, Tuan and Tiffany were on time and Tuan did an amazing job in only one day! The floors are beautiful and have such a gorgeous shine! Tuan took the time to do all of the edges, transition pieces, and stairs by hand. He cleaned up all of his tools and materials and left the house spotless. I would highly recommend Unique Hardwood Floor for quality, price, and customer service, and will definitely use them in my next house!
Estimates and timing were fast, but the overall work was terrible. Stain did not come close to original floors and the stain was put in sloppy. Lots of streaks, on my walls and fridge. The repair looks worse than what the damage was to begin with... Called them and they said they told me it wouldnt match...sent them pictures of just how bad it was. Said they could come back but do not ever want to work with them again
Tuan did an amazing job turning my beat-up stained, ugly staircase ( had been covered in carpeting over 20 years) into a honey-gold thing of beauty! His wife Tiffany kept me posted every step of the way & answered my calls/texts immediately! The price was very reasonable. It was a great experience & I would recommend Unique Hardwood Floors to anyone looking to do this type of project!
