"Very well. I had carpeted risers and Jose replaced them with wood. In addition, we had hardwood install in the hallway, and floors refinished. Jose was on time, quote was very fair. While working, he texted pictures of the progress and responded quickly to my questions. I would hire again...in a heart beat."

"I can’t say enough great things about the work done on my in-law’s floors. They were getting the house ready to sell, and the transformation is honestly unbelievable. The old tile was removed and replaced with beautiful hardwood flooring, and the existing floors were refinished to perfection. They truly look brand new—like something out of a model home. The color and richness of the wood were completely brought back to life, and the attention to detail really shows. The entire space feels warmer, brighter, and more updated. Not only was the quality of work outstanding, but the whole process was smooth and professional from start to finish. If you’re looking to refresh your floors or completely transform your space, I highly recommend Ismael and his team. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Excellent Floor Installation & Staining Marcel and his Team did an excellent job installing and staining my floors! I recently purchased a condo and the floors were very creaky and not the color I wanted. After contacting Marcel, he quickly came to my place to give a quote. Marcel and team quickly got to work and provided me with regular and clear updates. My floors were fully replaced and stained within a week. The Team had to put in extra work as there were electrical conduits under most of my floors The floors now do not squeak at all and the stain looks great! I would definitely recommend Marcel to my family and friends and would hire again. Thank you, Marcel & Team!"

"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"

"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!"

"We hired FloorMaxx to install hardwood in a townhouse we just bought. Greg was very informative and transparent at the free estimate appointment and that’s what made us choose them. They weren’t the cheapest bid but we knew we would get more value from them. We went to their supplier’s showroom and picked our wood. FloorMaxx bought it for us and delivered it and gave us the receipt so we knew we didn’t get charged extra. They showed up every day when they said they would and the work was done quickly. The crew was very respectful and their work was amazing. We absolutely love our floors and the work that was done. I already recommended them to my boss."

"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."

"Nunzio has been wonderful to work with throughout the years. I own a few investment properties where I've called on Nunzio to refinish the floors, and they've turned out spectacular. Some have oak, while others are maple or older wood. Depending on the species of wood he's always recommended the best course of action and he's always made them look beautiful. He honors his quotes and does care about doing a good job, and has returned if I've needed him to. I would recommend him to friends."

"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. "

"Leveled basement floors and installed a laminate wood flooring. The end product looks amazing! Final cost was 25% more than the initial quote, but I think that it was reasonable for how much additional unexpected leveling was required. Would use them again for any flooring needs."
