About (editorial)

Upstate Hardwood Resurfacing is a younger LLC on paper — incorporated January 2024, BBB-accredited December 2024 — but the founding team brings more than fifteen years of collective experience in hardwood resurfacing, staining, and installation. Owner Justin Blackwood runs the shop out of Rochester's 14612 zip (the Greece/north-side corridor), and the service line is narrowly focused on refinishing, sanding, staining, and installation rather than the wider remodeling scopes some competitors take on. The focused service line is a feature, not a limitation: a shop that does only flooring tends to be sharper on the details that matter (correct grit progression, finish-coat dry times, dust containment) than a generalist crew that also handles painting and tile. Public ratings are 5.0 on both Yelp and Angi, with the small absolute review count typical for a 2-year-old business. Best fit for refinishing scopes on the north side of the county where you want a focused specialist rather than a general contractor's flooring subcontractor.

Younger LLC (formed 2024) but team carries 15+ years collective trade experience. Narrowly focused on refinishing/sanding/staining/install — no painting or tile distractions. BBB-accredited since December 2024.
