Get matched with top wood flooring installation pros in Joliet, IL

"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"

"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."

"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. "

"Adrian and his team did a phenomenal job demoing our current floor & installing new luxury vinyl flooring. He kept our house extremely clean all considering ripping up tile & wood. He also continued to keep my wife and I in the loop on day to day work & revised time frames as we went. He is a master at his craft and we couldn’t be happier how our new floor & staircase came out!"

"Large 1st floor project. Entry way, hall closet, kitchen, powder room, living room and dining room - team installed luxury vinyl planks throughout. Also they installed 1/4 round trim to replace old trim. Job was estimated to take 2 day and they did complete on time. Also they did not try to sneak in charges or change the estimated price. I will use them again for my upstairs rooms. 100% satisfactory work."

"Mike did a wonderful job laying the laminate floor I purchased. He picked up my order, completed the Installation, worked with some very wonky measurements and closets, installed quarter rounds, and was prompt, personal and professional the entire experience. I would definitely recommend him!"

"M&A Flooring did such an amazing job with our home flooring project!! I had a vision and it turned out Pinterest perfect and way better than I even dreamed. The work was beautiful and I would hire them again in a second. "

"After a contractor failed to complete my flooring project, I was unable to get my family moved into out new home. Lyle postponed a vacation to help me out and got his crew to work the next day. He was there exactly when he said he was going to be, did exactly what he said he was going to do, repaired what the previous flooring guy damaged, for exactly what he said it would cost. Lyle and his crew are true professionals who I will definitely have back to finish my bedrooms. Writing this post is the least I could for him. Bob from Morris"
