COMPANY HISTORY & ORIGIN STORY
How Romero Hardwood Floors Got Started — and Why It's Still Going Strong
Francisco Romero-Ibarra started doing flooring work in 2006. Not because someone handed him a business — because he was good at it, homeowners kept calling back, and word spread through neighborhoods the way it does when the work actually holds up.
The formal company, Romero Hardwood Floors INC, was incorporated in 2015. But the reputation was already built by then — job by job, referral by referral, across Essex, Middlesex, and Suffolk counties. From the older colonials of Peabody and Salem to the dense triple-deckers of Somerville and Everett, Francisco had seen the full range of what Greater Boston's housing stock throws at a flooring contractor.

Our Mission
What Romero Actually Stands For
Transparency over salesmanship. The estimate Francisco gives you is an honest assessment of what the job requires. If your floors can be refinished instead of replaced, he'll tell you — even if replacement would mean a larger invoice. If a subfloor issue is going to add scope, you hear about it immediately with options in front of you, not as a surprise charge at the end.
Craftsmanship over speed. Some contractors work fast because they have another job lined up. Francisco works at the pace the job requires, because a floor that needs to be redone in three years isn't a floor that was done right the first time.
Our Values
Accountability After the Job
The 1-year conditional workmanship warranty isn't fine print — it's a practical commitment. If something isn't right with the work itself, it gets corrected. Francisco's phone number doesn't change after you pay the final invoice.
Eco-conscious work. Low-VOC finishing options aren't just a marketing angle. Families live in the homes where the work gets done. Finishes that off-gas harmful compounds into a home with children and pets are a problem Francisco takes seriously — which is why eco-friendly options are standard offerings, not upgrades.
About the Owner
Francisco Romero-Ibarra — Owner and Lead Craftsman
Francisco grew up understanding that good work is its own reputation. You don't build a flooring business on advertising — you build it by doing jobs people still talk about years later.
He's been installing and refinishing hardwood floors in Greater Boston homes since 2006. More than 20 years of hands-on work means he's seen nearly every situation a floor can present: subfloors with water damage hiding under carpet, original oak planks from the 1920s that just need the right sanding sequence to come back to life, newly built homes where the installer cut corners on the subfloor prep. He's fixed other contractors' mistakes enough times to know exactly what those mistakes look like — and how to avoid making them himself.
The Romero Difference
Consistent Quality From Start to Finish
Francisco is the person who comes to your estimate. He's also the person on your job. For homeowners who've had the experience of meeting a contractor at the estimate and then never seeing them again, but that's not how this works. The owner is present throughout, which means the standard stays consistent from the first day on-site to the final walkthrough.
He's also bilingual in English and Spanish. a detail that matters to a significant number of homeowners across Revere, Lynn, Chelsea, East Boston, and the broader Greater Boston area. If you're more comfortable working through the details of a project in Spanish, Francisco can do that.

Our Process
What Happens After You Call. Start to Finish.
The estimate call is where most homeowners find out whether a contractor is worth their time. Romero Hardwood Floors makes that call worth yours.
Contact Us
Call (617) 913-0155 or submit the contact form. Francisco responds personally — no answering service, no automated sequence routing you to a scheduler. You'll hear from him directly to set up the estimate visit.
Free In-Home Estimate
Francisco comes to your home at a time that works for you. He looks at the floors, discusses what you're hoping to achieve, takes measurements, and asks the questions that determine the actual scope — including things like subfloor condition and moisture that affect the job before a single board goes down. The written estimate arrives within 24 hours.
Scheduling and Job Preparation
Once you decide to move forward, your job is scheduled and confirmed. You'll receive automated reminders through DripJobs as the start date approaches. Francisco texts before arrival on the first day — no guessing whether the crew is actually coming.
The Work
Francisco is on-site throughout. Materials are handled carefully, your home is protected, and the dustless sanding system keeps airborne particles contained. If anything changes mid-job — a subfloor issue that wasn't visible at estimate, a product question, a homeowner decision — you're in the conversation, not waiting for a callback.
Final Walkthrough
Before the job is closed, Francisco walks every room with you. You point out anything that concerns you. It gets addressed. The final check doesn't change hands until you're satisfied with what you're looking at.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flooring Questions & Answers for Homeowners in Greater Boston
Francisco is on every job. He's not a business owner who sells the job and then manages it from a truck — he's the person doing the installation or refinishing, with crew members assisting on larger projects. The owner is present on your job from the first day to the final walkthrough.
Francisco started doing flooring work professionally in 2006 — over 20 years ago. Romero Hardwood Floors INC was formally incorporated in 2015. The company has been serving Greater Boston and North Shore homeowners continuously since 2006.
New Hampshire does not require a separate contractor license for hardwood flooring work. Francisco's Massachusetts HIC and Construction Supervisor licenses cover the standards he holds himself to on every job, regardless of which state it's in. Every NH project is performed to the same standard as Massachusetts work.
Yes. Francisco is bilingual in English and Spanish. If you're more comfortable working through your project details in Spanish — from the estimate conversation through final walkthrough — that's entirely possible. It's one of the reasons Romero Hardwood Floors has become a go-to contractor for Spanish-speaking homeowners across Revere, Lynn, Chelsea, and East Boston.

The warranty covers defects in the installation or service work itself — issues that result from how the job was performed, not from normal wear and tear, furniture movement, water damage from a separate incident, or other causes outside the scope of the original work. If you notice something after the job is complete that you believe is a workmanship issue, call Francisco directly. He'll come back out to assess it.
Yes, every job is fully insured with general liability coverage. For you, that means if something is damaged during the project — a wall, a fixture, a piece of furniture — there's insurance in place to cover it. It also means Francisco has a financial and professional stake in doing the job carefully. Unlicensed, uninsured contractors may offer lower estimates, but the risk falls entirely on the homeowner if something goes wrong.
Romero Hardwood Floors works across the full range of Greater Boston and North Shore residential housing — older colonial and Victorian-era homes with original hardwood that needs restoration, newer builds that need first-time installation, condos and apartments, multi-family properties, and single-family homes at every price point. The approach on each job is calibrated to what the floors and the home actually need.
Both. A single damaged board, a patch from a removed wall, water damage in one room — Francisco takes on targeted repair work as well as full-floor projects. If you're not sure whether a job is "big enough," the free estimate visit answers that question with no obligation on your part.
Call (617) 913-0155 or fill out the contact form and Francisco will be in touch to schedule a visit. There's no cost for the estimate and no commitment required to move forward. Estimates are written and delivered within 24 hours of the visit.
