Get matched with top wood flooring installation pros in Burlington, 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 :)"

"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."

"I cannot recommend Superior Hardwood Floors highly enough! From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. For my flooring project, they handled both the installation of new hardwood and the refinishing of my existing floors. The results were absolutely stunning—seamlessly blending the new wood with the old, creating a flawless, unified look throughout my home. The installation team was punctual, efficient, and clearly skilled in their craft. They took the time to ensure everything was perfectly aligned and cleaned up thoroughly after the job. The refinishing process brought my old, dull floors back to life, leaving them with a beautiful, rich finish that looks like it belongs in a magazine. George was patient with all my questions, helped me choose the best wood and stain options for my home, and communicated clearly at every step. He genuinely cares about delivering a quality product and ensuring his customers are happy. If you’re looking for experts who take pride in their work and deliver exceptional results, Superior Hardwood Floors is the way to go. I will definitely use their services again in the future and have already referred them to family and friends."

"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. He has been a god send to me. He worked with me and helped me out. I had a limited budget and a short time to do. He goes above and beyond and exceeded my expectations."

"We have a rental property and the tenants dropped a hot iron on the carpet. It burned through the carpet in the shape of the iron head, so we needed to replace the spot. It seemed easier to do this one piece rather than replacing the carpet for the whole room. The day before the appointment, Exposition called to say that the installer (Jaime) might be late because he had an appointment in Highland Park before ours. He was due at 1, but they said he'd show up between 1-1:30 and would call beforehand. At 1:15pm the day of, I hadn't yet heard from him so I called the company and asked for an update, but they tried to call him and his phone was off. Finally, at 3pm I got a call and he was at the property, so I had to rush over and meet him then. That could have been handled better, but I made it there by 3:15 so it wasn't too bad. We were able to find a piece of carpet underneath a built-in closet in the master bedroom to use as the replacement piece, thanks to a suggestion by Jaime. It took him about 45 minutes to do the work, and it looks pretty good. It's a little bit off since the carpet from the bedroom wasn't as worn as what was already in the room, though. They only charged me the minimum service charge which was $125, since we provided the carpet and they just basically did labor and applied some glue."

"Similar to other reviews Luis went above and beyond to refinish my original hardwood floors. We bought our new house and were searching for someone to do the job. After sending a couple emails, and calling for basic quotes, we went on Angi and immediately after searching for professionals Luis called. He had seen we were searching and told me he would come over the same day to check the floors and give us a quote and that was it. He set up a time to choose our stain, and even grabbed some extra so we could match our Butcher Block counters to our hardwoods. Not only did he start on our floors earlier than expected, he did an amazing job with what looked like an absolute mess before he started. We’re crazy about our floors, and even noticed that before he was finished they had added an extra touch by cleaning our air vents while the grates were off. A true professional and a good person, I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you again!!"

"I am a long-time landlord who does most of the maintenance and repair work myself. I was needing hardwood floors finished and tried Angi for the first time. Johanny is the owner of Floorscape Designs and worked with me from beginning to end to get this job done in less than a week. He’s kind and patient and very knowledgeable about hardwood flooring and refinishing. He has a great crew of skilled professionals and I would hire them again!"

"The salesman was knowledgeable, professional and explained everything about the shower install well. I gave him a deposit of $3200. I did not hear from anyone so after 3 days I called but no one returned my call. Called back again a week later to cancel the order. Left a long message stating I did not want to cancel the order but was concerned because no one returned my calls. Finally, received a call from a regional manager. He connected me to a local manager who set up an install date a week later. The installers were polite and professional. Gave me some helpful advise. Job was completed in less than a day. The shower door came a week later. I have had the shower for over a month. It is beautiful. I love it. Quality work. I would highly recommend Premier Home Pros."

"Installers did not come on time, two hours late. Then they had to validate that we paid Empire, which took an hour. The estimate of work was totally wrong, we were supposed to get a floating floor but the installers said they could not do that So they instead did a complete teardown of the existing floor and removed all the old tiles. The quarter round was included in the price of the materials but was never installed because we did not get a raised (floating) floor. So I think I was overcharged for the materials which were not used. I spoke to a number of persons at Empire about such issues without any resolution to my satisfaction. Besides all the problems encountered we do like the floor and it nice looking."
