"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 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."

"I called Top Bros Construction after finding them on Angie's List. I recently bought the house and needed some remodeling & upgrades done. They returned my call promptly and came to my house 2 days later to look at the work needed to be done. There was much work to be done & they (Jose, Cesar and their father) listened patiently to what my husband & I wanted done and made suggestions. After getting several estimates we hired Top Bros. The work included removing carpet in the spacious family room, installing hardwood flooring & feathering in the new floor with the old floor in the adjoining kitchen, staining & finishing floor and painting the 2 story living room. The open staircase was wood going upstairs which they also refinished but carpeted going downstairs to the lower level. The stairs going down had to be rebuilt as they were not made of oak treads like the rest of the stairs. In the lower level they removed carpet, leveled the cement floor and installed approx. 1000 sq ft plank porcelain tiles. As the home was vacant, they were able to get there early and spent all day. Cesar, Jose and their workers were friendly, courteous and went out of their way to help us move some items when they realized we could not move them. The hardwood floor is beautiful and you can not tell were the old joins the new. The tiles in the lower level are gorgeous. I have already told them that as soon as it gets warmer I have some exterior work for them including installing a new sliding glass door."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Island Lake, 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.
