If your hardwood floors look tired, scratched or faded, there’s a good chance they don’t need replacing at all. At HSQ Company, we handle hardwood floor refinishing in Needham, MA, and most of the floors we see just need the right care to look great again. We’re a licensed general contractor, so the same team stays with your project from the first walkthrough to the last coat of finish. There’s one question we hear more than any other: “Is my house going to be covered in dust?” It won’t be. We use dustless sanding equipment that pulls dust away as we work, so your furniture, vents and walls stay clean, and you’re not left with a big cleanup afterward.
No two floors wear the same way. Before we recommend anything, we take a close look at the wood, the current finish and how much traffic the room gets. Then we suggest only what your floor actually needs.
Needham has a bit of everything, from older colonials with their original oak or pine to newer homes with engineered flooring. These floors don’t behave the same way, so they shouldn’t be treated the same way either.
Older boards have often been sanded before, which means there’s less wood to work with. We go lighter and more carefully on those. A newer floor, on the other hand, might only need a fresh coat to look the way it did on move-in day. Either way, we figure out what your floor needs first and plan the work around it.
Good hardwood is made to last, and most floors can be sanded and refinished several times over their lifetime. For a lot of homeowners, refinishing is simply the smarter choice.
It usually costs far less than tearing out and replacing a floor, and it keeps perfectly good wood out of the landfill. A new protective finish also helps guard against moisture, stains and everyday wear. If you live in an older home, your floors may be made from wood that’s hard to find today, and that’s worth holding on to.
We’ll always give you a straight answer. If your floor can be saved, we’ll tell you. If it really does need replacing, we’ll explain why and talk you through your options.

Most jobs take somewhere between three and five days. It depends on the size of the space, the condition of the wood and the finish you choose. Water-based finishes dry quicker, while oil-based ones need more time to cure. You'll get a clear schedule from us before we start.
In most cases, no. Because we use dustless sanding, the rest of your home stays pretty clean, and we can work one area at a time so you still have the rooms you need. Some finishes do give off a smell while they dry, so a few of our clients choose to stay with family or friends for a night or two.
First, we visit to look at the floor and check moisture levels. When the work begins, we cover and protect nearby areas, take care of any repairs, then sand. If you've picked a stain, that goes on next, followed by a few coats of finish with light buffing in between. Once it's done, we walk through the space with you and share a few simple tips for keeping it looking good.
Not completely, and no honest contractor will tell you otherwise. But it catches most of the dust as it's created. Compared with traditional sanding, the difference is huge, both in the air and on your belongings.
