Get matched with top wood flooring installation pros in Lakeview, 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"

"Ismael and his team completely transformed my floors! This was my first time hiring out for any sort of home renovation and they completely exceed my expectations! I didn’t know there was such beautiful wood grain under my old worn down varnish. His team timely, efficient, thorough and didn’t leave behind a mess. 10/10 "

"Floors look great! Fast installation, they cleaned up and left everything looking wonderful. We had a tricky time scheduling, or this would be Five Stars Easily :)"

"I would highly recommend Danny and his team. They removed carpeting and refinished the hardwood floors in the house that my wife and I bought. Danny and his team showed up early on the day work started, put down a few sample stains so that I could choose one, were very responsive throughout the process, and finished on time. And he is honest. I was considering replacing a few floor boards in one of the bedrooms because there were some gaps in the wood. Danny said he would replace them if I wanted to, which would have increased the price of the project a fair amount with the price of wood. But he recommended against it, saying he thought he could use wood filler and it wouldn’t be noticeable, and he was right. How’s that for trustworthiness? Turning down extra profit and saving us money, while still producing a great result. Would enthusiastically recommend Danny and his team to anyone who needs hardwood floor refinishing."

"We had our kitchen and hallway tiles removed and hardwoods installed to match the existing living room floors. We also had the living room floor refinished. The final product is amazing. You can’t tell the difference between the old and new- the transition is seem less. The price was very fair. The crew worked efficiently and cleaned up completely at the end and moved my furniture back. I highly recommend them to all my friends."

"I interviewed six different flooring companies, ABF was above and beyond the most knowledgeable. Great value and service."

"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."

"If you want beautiful hardwood floors at a fair price from a really nice guy, Andrei is your man! We recently moved to the Chicago suburbs from out of state, and had less than three weeks from closing on our house to moving in. We needed work on all the hardwood floors in the home and the whole house interior painted. Andrei made it happen! The new floors are beautiful, and Andrei communicating, kept us updated at every step in the process, and sent pictures as the work progressed. We hired a painter Andrei recommended and they worked together to get both jobs done by our move-in date.Really great guy!"

"M&A hardwood flooring and team were amazing from start to finish. Everything was handled professionally and communication was clear every step of the way. The crew worked efficiently and the installation was beautiful. You will be in good hands with M&A hardwood Flooring-highly recommended.."

"Professional floors went beyond my expectations. Did the job when they said they would. Finished on time and the quality is excellent."
