We are not a general contractor that also does floors. Hardwood is the whole business ā installation, sanding, refinishing, repair, and restoration. That focus is why a Couple floor looks right and lasts.
Founded in Lynn, MA in 2015 and now working across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine ā from century-old Boston brownstones to brand-new builds in Portland. Honest written estimates, clean job sites, floors that hold up.
Not sure what you have ā or what you want? Here is a quick tour of the hardwoods we install and refinish most across New England.
The New England standard. Tight, even grain with a subtle golden-brown tone that takes stain beautifully and resists wear. Hardness 1360 on the Janka scale.
