"Redesign Floors is a great company. Mariusz is very professional and after the estimate was approved he completed the Nov in a timely manner. His co-workers were also very professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant. They laid plank flooring in our upstairs bedrooms and master bath and the work was completed in a day and a half. We are very please with the flooring, and will let our family and friends know what a great company they are."

Customers say: Terrific value

"He used an interior product that is meant to be used on furniture and not Floors. We read the can and we can see he selected the wrong version of the product and it also was a very low end product. It was not the good stuff that would refinishers choose. He also does not answer his phones, which is so annoying when there?s issues he completely ignores them. "

"We hired Mcraft to install new hardwood floors and refinish our existing ones. Adrian and his team were professional, detailed, punctual, courteous, and polite. They cleaned up the house before leaving each day, so we had no issues living there while they worked. We highly recommend them. "

"A repair to my wood floor in powder room. Chris and his staff were excellent to work with—responsive, professional, and project was completed on time. This was my first experience with A Step Ahead and no qualms recommending them—they were superb! The repair was completed with highest quality of workmanship, efficiency, and work area was neat and clean. "

"I couldn’t be happier with the team that installed my kitchen floors! From start to finish, they were professional, kind, and incredibly polite. They took great care in their work, paying attention to every detail, and made sure to clean up thoroughly afterward. It’s rare to find such a hardworking and respectful crew, and I truly appreciate their dedication. My floors look absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship. Thank you for a job well done!"

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.
