About us
UNIQUE HARDWOOD FLOORS is a Chicago based company that has close to 20 years of experience in wooden flooring restoration, new floor installation and stair renovation. We offer a range of services including floor sanding, floorboard fitting, gap filling, staining, painting. Stair renovation and new hardwood flooring installation. We also offer a unique individual floorboard repair service. Our aim is to give you fantastic looking hardwood floors whatever your requirements. Sanding floors is a dusty tiring business. We’ve changed that. We use a patented dust intake system. This attaches right to the sanding machines, sucking up dust before it has a chance to escape into the air. Our specialist equipment means dust doesn't have a chance. No hours of cleaning up after sanding. Our sanders capture the dust generated by sanding on the spot, meaning your curtains, and furniture won't need to be covered before sanding or cleaned after sanding. With traditional sanders microscopic particles of dust generated can remain in the room for days after you've had your floors sanded. Apart from the mess, these particles can cause irritation and allergic reactions in some people, especially those with respiratory problems or asthma. We can supply extensive customer testimonials. UNIQUE can also advise customers on the many types of flooring available such as oak, pine, ash, walnut, beech, African hardwood, Brazilian hardwood, Canadian hardwood, maple, cherry, walnut, birch and elm. We also specialize in the fitting and renovation of reclaimed wood flooring. In these days of recycling we can make reclaimed wood flooring look like a new installation.

Modest and his team were amazing and hard-working. My rooms look like new. His team was on time, expert at hardwood install and everything was spotless when they finished. Modest was very communicative and fair in his pricing. Would highly recommend and I would definitely have them back if ever I needed hardwood installation.

Modest and his crew were very quick and did an amazing job getting the floors done on our new house. The job was to pull carpet upstairs/downstairs, refinish existing flooring as well as add new flooring on a section of the main floor. My wife and I couldn’t recommend these guys enough everything looks like new and was done within a few days!

Excellent! We could not be happier with how things went from start to finish. Modest was quick to respond with a quote. He and his team arrived each day on time. They were very diligent and solved problems quickly and with great expertise. Every day they tidied up before leaving. On the third day our painters arrived and they were very flexible and patience with the complications that came with have so much activity in a small space. The floors and baseboard are absolute perfection.

Modesto was on time and very professional when providing the estimate. I experienced the same level of promptness and professionalism during the two days he and his crew were performing the work. Modesto also spent time helping me select the perfect stain color, even offering to custom mix two different colors to get it just right. The floors look great and I coudn't be happier.

The whole process was smooth from beginning to end. They moved all the furniture and stored it carefully in the area I designated. Their team did an excellent job and were easy to work with during the entire process. They fixed / replaced flooring where it was damaged and made new thresholds where they did not feel they could properly sand the existing ones in place. The new threshold is solid oak and even looks better than the original. The floors look amazing and brand new even though they are over 100 years old. I will be using them again in the fall to do the remaining rooms! They were great!

I was very happy with the work that Modest and his crew provided. I had about 5 boards that needed to be replaced. After the work was done, you couldn't tell there had ever been any damage there. I'm very happy with the color of the floor. They used a water based finish which I appreciated because it doesn't smell as bad. <br>

Excellent job. They provided the most competitive price for the job out of three estimates I received and performed the work in a very short amount of time. The quality was excellent and floors look awesome. I was very happy with the result in every aspect. Excellent service and great looking floors! <br>

My floors are absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend Unique Hardwood Floors to others. Modest showed up exactly on time to give me an estimate. I was under a huge time crunch to get the floors done before moving in and Modest and his crew were able to get the job done quickly (a day early!) and fit me into their schedule with little advance notice. The flooring is Brazilian cherry which is a notoriously difficult wood to work with but the end result is fantastic. Modest and his crew were prompt, courteous, and willing to work with my schedule. Highly recommended!!

During an upstairs bathroom renovation, the contractor managed to leak water on the main level and damage the wood floor. They refinished the wood floors, but the color did not (now) match the wood stairs and railing/trim. Not wanting to use the contractor, again, I called Modest. He was very patient in working with me - even when I changed my mind on the color on the railing/trim after he had already had his guys do one of the longer pieces. <br /> I emphasized how important is was for me to have all the colors match. I discovered, after they left, that two of the railing/trims did not match and some trim between doors was not done. Modest was very accommodating. He came back and I showed him the problems. I also showed him where his guys were very sloppy with the stain - there were major drips on a number of the white stair risers. He said they would make it right and try to clean up the stains. <br /> When his guys came back, they were able to get the colors right, but could not clean up the risers or where they had dripped stain on the walls. I had to repaint all the risers and some of the walls. The stairs and railing/trim look great and Modest is great to work with, but I wish his guys had been more careful in applying the stain. <br />

I really don't have enough nice things to say about Modest. He was prompt and very courteous during his visit for the estimate. He wasn't the cheapest bid, but came in at a very reasonable price. The reason we went with him is that he seemed very professional, friendly to deal with, and seemed like he really cared about the quality of work. <br /> He and his crew arrived promptly for the work and treated my wife with the utmost respect. They were very flexible around timing (I was traveling one day of the job) and were very meticulous. Modest really was a dream to work with. <br /> The job went very well, the finished ahead of schedule and the floors look amazing. <br />

Because we were headed out of town for a vacation, timing was important to us. Work commenced as scheduled on January 5th on the downstairs rooms. Since we had asked for three coats of finish on the floors, this process took several days. The crew took a great deal of care in moving and replacing furniture, installing felt pads on the legs of each piece. By the time the downstairs part of the job was completed, we did not hesitate to leave a set of house keys with Modest as we were departing for vacation. We came back to find the upstairs completed and all of the furniture returned to the appropriate place. <br /> The floors look like new. We would not hesitate to use Unique Hardwood Floors again. <br />
