"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!"

"Danny and his crew were great. We originally hired them to refinish wood floors in our two upstairs bedrooms, but after pulling back the carpet and realizing the hardwood wasn’t consistent, Danny was able to pivot quickly and get LVP installed within 2 days. Very friendly and helpful, and great quality work done. We are very happy with the finished product! And lots of helpful tips and little detail finishes like staining thresholds that really brought the project together. Recommending Modern Quality Flooring to all our family and friends !"

"ASAP Hardwood Floors sanded/made repairs to certain boards and applied a new stain/finish. They were extremely professional throughout and performed an excellent job, especially given how competitive the pricing was. My job included repair following the removal of a gas fireplace just prior to the floors refinishing. The wood underneath the fireplace was not in great condition, but Jose and his team repaired the floor to the point you would never know anything was there before."

"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."

"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!"

"Stunning results. We had red oak flooring over 70 years old refinished for the first time ever. They turned out beautiful. Far surpassed expectations. No mess, got out old water stains. Very pleased."

"The kitchen floor looks brand new. Andrei replaced cracked or damaged maple boards, sanded the floor so the entire floor was level and sealed it with water-base sealer with a beautiful matted finish. It looks great. The remainder of the home has the original stained oak floors. Through the years many boards cracked & become unstable. He patiently removed the damaged boards, replaced the oak boards, sanded the boards to the same level as the existing flooring. He mixed the stain to match the existing floor stain color and urethane entire floor. The floor is now uniform in color, the patch repairs are not visibly different to the existing flooring when walking into the rooms. I am so pleased of the work performed and Andrei took his time to do it the right way and listened to what we wanted done."

"They were able to refinish the floors of my new condo speedily, including staining everything to match in one shade across different woods. The team was on time, very transparent with the estimate and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. I never had floors refinished, but the amount of energy they needed from me was minimal and they talked me through some good options. Price was extremely fair when compared to other companies, especially considering this is a small local team. I would definitely recommend them to others getting this work done."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Harwood Heights, 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.
