Weles Inc

Weles is a Chestnut Hill hardwood flooring company started by three Ukrainian friends — Sasha Serdiuk, Alex Lapa and Vlad Hrynchuk — who the company says turned a shared passion into a business about eight years ago; it now installs, refinishes, repairs and restores solid, engineered and vinyl floors across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, with its own showroom. The company is a BBB-accredited business with an A+ grade. The volume and consistency of praise are unusual — 110 reviews from 2021 through 2026, most describing genuinely difficult jobs done well. Reviewers repeatedly cite the crew's dustless sanding process: a March 2026 review describes refinishing roughly 1,000 square feet with virtually no sawdust anywhere in the house, furniture moved and replaced. Several reviews describe rescuing floors other people had given up on — a 2022 review describes Weles saving hardwood a general contractor had ruined by not covering it during other work, and a 2025 review describes salvaging floors so damaged under old carpet the homeowner didn't believe they were hardwood at all. Reviews from early 2026 and late 2025 both describe full jobs completed while the homeowner was away on vacation, with furniture moved and no mess left behind. The one notable exception in the written record is a June 2024 review describing a breach-of-contract dispute over BONA brand flooring materials and process, referencing an Appeals Court decision — what that court actually decided isn't clear from the text quoted. It's a real, serious complaint and the only one of its kind in the record; nothing else across 110 reviews and five years describes anything like it. Recent activity is strong — seven reviews in the last six months, none negative — and a 2025 Reddit comment calls the company the best, for what an anonymous endorsement like that is worth. For hardwood refinishing or installation anywhere from Greater Boston up through New Hampshire and Maine, Weles' combination of volume, consistency, and repeated rescues of difficult floors makes it a strong choice — the 2024 dispute is old enough and isolated enough that it's worth a direct question rather than a disqualifier.
