"We had a floor leveling issue in which a room was part tile over cement and part carpet over hardwood, with the tiled part being higher than the carpeted part. We wanted to remove the tile, level the entire floor, and have hard wood flooring throughout the room. This was a challenge for the other contractors and flooring people who came out to give estimates. However, Mike of Mike’s flooring came out and immediately knew how to implement a plan of action. Mike’s team responded quickly and finished the job in a timely manner. They were pleasant and respectful, took care to limit the dust, and cleaned up after themselves. Mike also gave us great remodeling advice and provided us with great referrals for other trade experts. Most importantly, Mike charged a fair price, and he and his team did a WONDERFUL job. The new hard wood flooring looks GORGEOUS! Mike is a true expert in flooring, and I highly recommend him and his team."

"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."

"I just bought a home, and I had the wood floors refinished and new hardwood installed in a few other areas. Adrian went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and was always looking out for my best interest. He itemized everything so that I could select the best choice based on the price point I wanted to stay in. The craftsmanship and the finished product are outstanding. In addition, Adrian’s communication was great as well. They were always on time and always kept me updated. The new finish and the new floors made my house finally feel like my home! I was very happy with the process, and I am very happy with my floors!"

"We needed to have our floors refinished before home went on the market. They’ve never been refinished and after 13 years of abuse, they definitely needed it. Bill was quick to come by and provide a quote and we hired him based on reputation and value of price. He was great to work with our schedule and completed the job in one day. Finished product is amazing and they look like brand new floors. Highly recommend Heritage Hardwood for your refinishing needs."

"Bill is a highly experienced craftsman who knows exactly how to solve a floor problem. My problem was somewhat unique and when he had finished the job, the replaced wood was a perfect match to the undamaged wood. We are most happy with his work."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Joliet, 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.
