Get matched with top wood flooring installation pros in Barrington, IL

"I own residential property in Chicago which is over 100 years old and once had beautiful hardwood floors throughout. However, by the late 2010s, the floors were sadly past their prime and those glory days were but a distant memory. Over a century of neglect, changing tastes, and numerous remodels, past owners took the easy way out by replacing missing sections of flooring with plywood, ignoring basic upkeep, and simply covering up the damage (aka their crimes) with wall-to-wall carpet. Blasphemy I say! This trend shall have no place in a city where Mike and his team from Mike's Hardwood Flooring heroically fight back restoring one hardwood floor at a time! Every week, they courageously repair the damage caused by the cheap landlords and cut-rate contractors from Chicago's dark past! Lol...in all seriousness, I've used Mike several times now to refinish my existing hardwood floors as well as repair hardwood flooring that was damaged decades ago and hidden by carpet. I'm anti-carpet / pro-hardwood floor :) Over the past few years, Mike has restored all of the hardwood flooring in my own home as well as in several of my rental units to their former glory! As for Mike himself...he's responsive, knowledgeable, forthright, kind, and down-to-earth. Despite my eagerness to restore as much of the original wood as possible, Mike will actually take the time to discuss options and do a cost-benefit analysis (including the extent/history of damage, type of wood, the science, and labor involved, etc.). Although much of my original flooring remains, it could not always be done economically. Mike doesn't try to upsell you and rightfully steered me towards a less expensive option (of new hardwood) for a better result two weeks before posting this review. Which I very much appreciated! And the same can be said of his team as well, including George and Francisco, who go to great lengths to ensure that the floor you want is the floor you get (i.e. making sure you know what you can and can't do during the first few days after they finish). Included below are several before and after pictures and the results speak for themselves! I was particularly impressed how Mike and his team were able to beautifully restore the original wood on a set of stairs that were covered in a layer of tar (no idea why) and carpeted over. I highly recommend Mike's Hardwood Flooring"

"Floors look great! Fast installation, they cleaned up and left everything looking wonderful. We had a tricky time scheduling, or this would be Five Stars Easily :)"

"Superior Hardwood Floors certainly live up to their name, their job was superior to anyone else we might have hired and they did everything in a very timely manner, despite us requesting work to be done around the Christmas holidays. Do not hesitate to contact George and their team they are the best value anywhere around and truly care about the work they complete. Thank you George & your team at Superior Hard Wood Floors!"

"Refinishing I’m surprised by the few bad reviews I read in here since our experience with America’s Best Flooring has been nothing but wonderful! Work was completed on schedule and house left in good order. Our neighbors can’t believe it is the same floor! We would definitely recommend Nunzio and his team to anyone looking to redo their floors."

"We had a great experience from beginning till the end. We needed 2200 sq ft of wood flooring over some areas of the first and second floor. Mircea estment and free advice made us go with him. They are knowledgeable and accommodating. I like their punctuality since in the morning I have to drop the kids off to school. The house was clean during installation since we had to live there. Half way through staining process my wife wanted to change the stain. They did not get upset and resanded and restrained with a minimum extra charge. We left the house for few days so they can finish sealing the floors. Upon return they even gave us a hand with moving back some large pieces of furniture that we moved away prior the installation. We highly recommend Arkadia for hardwood installation and finish."

"My wife and I could not be more pleased with the installation. The installers were efficient, professional, and master craftsmen. Our floor is absolutely stunning and we are so glad that we hired A Step Ahead Flooring for the job. I highly recommend for anyone looking for hardwood flooring installation."

"The project went excellent. The team was very professional and the quality of work is excellent. My new natural wood floors look amazingly perfect ! I highly recommend ReDesign Floors & Home."

"A portion of our wood floor was damaged due to a water leak. DAC responded quickly to my request and gave a price for the repair. The work was done professionally and with efficiency. They ended up replacing the underlayment material with an upgraded product, and as a result the repaired area flooring feels better and is quieter. They did a fine job and we are very pleased."

"Mike was responsive, friendly, and offered great suggestions for making my new flooring and work wood wall base look less awkward when meeting adjacent area where I kept original flooring. His pricing was very fair and Iâ m so happy to have the work completed!"

"Peter was great and explained the what, how and why. The kitchen refinished oak floor is beautiful. The workers were polite and very unobtrusive. In and out in one day. We will be having Peter do all of our floors. We feel that Peter is very knowledgeable and prompt."
