"The job was done to its perfection. My cherry wood flooring is more difficult than normal to refinish but Mike and his buddy made it look brand new and the whole project was communicated clearly and Mike also provide followup calls to make sure things are good after the project is done. Definitely recommend for any kind of flooring projects!"

"Alex and Mario are the best! I hired them to refinish approximately 1,000 square feet of hardwood flooring. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was beyond what I expected. They finished the job on time and the end result was simply amazing. I highly recommend and I will be using them again in the future and have also referred them to my neighbors!"

"After getting several quotes for refinishing our hard floors we chose Jerry’s Dust Free for several reasons. The quote was right (not the lowest but well below the highest) and the prospect of “dust free” was appealing. In addition, since we have a small house the description of how and where they would put our furniture including a piano during the project sounded good, and finally Jerry suggested replacing a couple of floor vents with covers that would be flush with the floor—all part of the attractive quote. Despite the dozens of positive reviews we still expected some dust – but there was NONE at all – amazing! Jerry fixed dozens of old nail holes that had always been visible; replaced a couple of pieces of wood that were damaged for years; and put in the flush-to-the-floor vents. This all created a look that was far superior than what we had for the previous 28 years. Jerry’s Dust Free was timely – came when they said they would – finished on time and the floors look great. They took great care with our furniture and in every aspect of the job. Not only would we use Jerry’s Dust Free again, we will be recommending them to friends and family."

"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."

"Because of his over 30 years of experience in wood floor installation, repair, and refinishing, Bill is a true expert in this field. When removal of carpeting from our hallway revealed staining and damage to the hardwood flooring below, Bill replaced the damaged boards. He refinished the entire hallway so that it looks brand new. Bill also refinished the floors in two bedrooms, recommending the products and techniques that would best cover stains and rough areas. Because of his extensive knowledge, Bill gave great explanations and made helpful suggestions. Bill proved that he is willing to take on challenges. When he encountered unanticipated issues , he readily found and worked through solutions. I highly recommend this company and would readily hire Bill again for future projects."

"We originally hired Adrian to refinish our kitchen floors and install new hardwood in our family room. After such a positive experience, we hired Adrian again to re-do our staircase (refinished existing steps and installed new railings / banisters/ spindles) and install new hardwood floors to match for our entire second floor. Adrian is absolutely PHENOMENAL. He is a super honest, meticulous, clean, genuine, great guy with an incredible work ethic and a true desire to give you the best quality work product. He can give you options to fit your price point, but is super honest about what is good quality wood vs what isn’t and what the results will be like if you use one product vs another. We’ve continued to go with the best quality wood and have not been disappointed. Adrian hands down knows what he is talking about and has truly mastered his craft. His work product is impeccable and worth every single penny. You get what you pay for 100%. He is super clean and there is never a mess or dust left behind. He communicates everything and follows his timelines. He is also super trustworthy. It is so incredibly hard to find workers like him these days. I would highly highly recommend hiring him for any hardwood refinishing or installation. You will not be disappointed!"

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Downers Grove, IL

The hardest wood floor finish is aluminum oxide, but it only comes on prefinished boards. If you want something durable you can add after installation, acid-cured is your best bet. The key to the longevity of any type of wood floor is a maintenance coat when a traffic pattern begins to show in high traffic areas.

Moisture-cured urethane is the most durable finish for homes with pets. However, It contains a lot of (VOCs) that can aggravate pets and people, especially at first. If you’re looking for a low-VOC alternative, water-based polyurethane is your best bet.

Bona sells several highly-rated polyurethane hardwood floor finish products, typically through small, local distributors. Brands like DuraSeal or Minwax also rank well for durability and ease of application. They are available at businesses such as Walmart and Amazon.

You have to seal unfinished hardwood floors to protect them from scratches and stains. The frequency depends on the type, but in general it’s ideal to refinish them between four and six times in their lifetime. This comes out to about every seven to 10 years.

Refinishing hardwood floors costs $1,100 to $2,400.

Wood stain adds a color to the surface. A finish adds a level of shine (e.g. matte, low-gloss, high-gloss) and seals the grain to protect against damage. Some companies, such as Minwax, offer products that do both at once.
