"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!"

"We were thrilled with the work they did refinishing our 80-year-old floors. They look just beatiful! The team also took great pains to keep dust to a minimum, selaing off other rooms and air vents, etc. They came when they said they would and actually finished a head of schedule. When a problem with the power came up, Mike was very resourceful in getting it fixed. Would highly recommend."

"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."

"I have been preparing my house for sale, so I decided to get an estimate on having 1800 square feet of hardwood floors buffed and coated with urethane. I discussed the price over that phone. The estimated cost was 40 cents per square foot, totaling $800, contingent on inspection by the owner of Superior Hardwood Flooring, George. He arrived at my house and carefully looked at the condition of the floors throughout. He noted that much of my wood flooring is in very good condition. Some areas have minor dark spots that are the result of washing with water, over the years. George explained that the dark spots would not be improved by buffing and coating and that spending $800 would really not yield a great difference. He advised that the only way to get back to a new finish look would be to refinish everything. He further advised that by going down the path of refinishing, I could update with the darker more trendy colors, but that the cost of doing so would be significantly higher, $2.50 per square foot, and would not likely be a good return on my investment. I decided not to do anything to my wood floors and I really appreciate the professionalism and candid advise that George provided, for my particular situation."

"Mariusz from ReDesign Floors and Home did a fantastic job of refinishing our hardwood floors in our new townhouse. They were in pretty bad shape, and now the floors look amazing. He and his crew were reasonable, reliable, and very professional. We’re having them do more extensive work to our place, since we were impressed with the workmanship and accommodating our needs and time frame. We highly recommend ReDesign Floors and Home for any home improvement!"

"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!"

"We havenâ t had any floor refinishing for probably over 30 years & didnâ t know who to work with , so I contacted Angie List. First one I talked with was Peter at Access Flooring. He came out next day & explained everything so thoroughly that I felt confident working with someone who has worked with flooring for over 25 years. Excellent job!"

"The end job was excellent.  They came every day, stayed all day until the job was finished.  We are very happy with the finished product.  However, they did not return calls promptly and were going to leave the job unfinished.  By unfinished I mean they were going to leave without properly  installing all the shoe  molding.  They were going to leave a putty joint between the floor and baseboard showing.  They also charged us for the additional shoe molding which we believed was included in the original price. I do
recommend them justmake sure you include everything you want  written in the contract."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Elgin, IL

Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.

Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.

Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
