"They did an excellent job. Daniel showed us some samples of water based floor finishing as opposed to oil based. He described the process and suggested how long it would take and the precautions to give the best end results. The men who sanded, vaeuumed, and applied the finish were professional and did great work each day. The removal and replacement of furniture went very well too. Nothing was broken or scratched. I liked that Daniel phoned today and checked that we had placed pads on chair legs/feet so we wouldn’t scratch the floors like before. I love our floors. They feel brand new!"

"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"

"The wood floors came out great! Ismael was incredible to work with, finished within the predicted time period and sent pictures of the progress through the week. I would use their service again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their floors."

"I needed a small repair job on wood laminate. Most companies I talked to didn’t want to bother unless I was replacing the entire floor. Rustic Flooring ( Marcel ) came out , sent his craftsmen out and did the job beautifully!!! They are skillful, courteous and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Marcel and his team."

"Mircea (the owner, who also personally oversaw and completed the job) and his team did a remarkable job sanding down and refinishing our first-floor wood flooring, as well as administering repair on some unsightly holes in several areas of the floor, in the process transforming a worn and aged surface into one that is fresh and vibrant. The quote was in line with what I was willing to pay, Mircea was genial and pleasant to speak with and work with throughout the process, and the work was done within the estimated time frame without any overages in days or funds spent. They are a local, tight-knit outfit, and I would readily use them again."

"Andrei did a great job installing new hard wood floors in the dinning room and refinishing kitchen floors. Very professional and a perfectionist. Floors came out great! He was always on time, a one man show who knows what he is doing. I'm thinking of having hard wood floors installed in another room and i would not think about going any where else than Andrei flooring."

"Jose and his team were communicative, quick and overall very easy to work with. They completed the refinishing and staining of my hardwood floors (~1500 sq ft) with quarter round replacement in 2 days. I am so happy with my new floors and highly recommend them."

"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."

"Superior Hardwood Floors Inc. is a great company to work with if you want to install new floors or get your floors refinished. We also had our bannisters refinished and new spindle put in. George is very professional and quoted us the best price of all the other companies we looked at. He and his team were very pleasant to work with and took great care over our home reno. Highly recommend this company. And will have him back again to do our upstairs shortly."

"We had our kitchen and hallway tiles removed and hardwoods installed to match the existing living room floors. We also had the living room floor refinished. The final product is amazing. You can’t tell the difference between the old and new- the transition is seem less. The price was very fair. The crew worked efficiently and cleaned up completely at the end and moved my furniture back. I highly recommend them to all my friends."
