We address surface scratches, water stains, and uneven wear patterns while preserving your floor's original character. The service includes a complimentary in-home assessment to determine the optimal restoration approach for your specific flooring type and condition.

Nelson Flooring of Stoughton installed an unfinished wood floor in our foyer, living room, dining room and hallway. They appeared as scheduled and the crew was pleasant, efficient and always left the house neat cleaning up at the end of each day. The entire project was done in four days with little inconvenience to us. We did not have to make any down payment prior to the start of the flooring project and received a billing for the completed project which matched the original estimate. The floor turned out fantastic and we have received many compliments on the floor. One of the neighbors was so

I would absolutely recommend Nelson Hardwood. They fit us in quickly and did an amazing job. We have 80yr old floors and some stains didnt come out. They recommended a stain color that would cover it - and it looks amazing. No visible marks through the stain and a great finished look. Also, we had them feather in new flooring and you would never know it was not part of the original hardwood. Great experience and love my floors!

Our entire experience with Nelson Hardwood Flooring was superb. First, Rob's communication was impeccable- even texts like "I'm running 2 minutes behind." Very respectful of our time. There are always things that pop up with construction projects- he was very transparent, prompt, and provided great advice to help us move forward without delay. Second, we decided to demo our existing floors ourselves, and Rob went above and beyond to help us do that successfully, even showing us how to remove trim and demo tile so we could tackle it. Thirdly, he and his team returned after the job was complete to
