"Refinishing I’m surprised by the few bad reviews I read in here since our experience with America’s Best Flooring has been nothing but wonderful! Work was completed on schedule and house left in good order. Our neighbors can’t believe it is the same floor! We would definitely recommend Nunzio and his team to anyone looking to redo their floors."

"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 ! "

"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."

"The job was done to its perfection. My cherry wood flooring is more difficult than normal to refinish but Mike and his buddy made it look brand new and the whole project was communicated clearly and Mike also provide followup calls to make sure things are good after the project is done. Definitely recommend for any kind of flooring projects!"

Customers say: Quick response

"We are extremely happy with our flooring project. Redesign scheduled the work and arrived on time the day we were told. They texted us while they were coming. As proposed they carefully moved the furniture to the side of the rooms, removed the carpet,prepped the floor for the new vinyl plank, moved the furniture back and completed the room. There wasn't a need for us to hire a moving company. The project was finished in the estimated time and vacuumed the entire house. Amazing transformation , we will be using them to refinish our kitchen and family room's hardwood floor. Outstanding and very courteous. The owner does the work and is carrying on the with the craftsmanship he has learned from his Father."

"Daniel understood we had a very tight timeline to complete the refinishing of our floors and he and his team responded appropriately. They arrived early every morning and scheduled there work so they could return to apply more than one coat of stain a day. The floor, which was installed in 1980 was refinished perfectly. It looks better than new. The team from DAC Flooring was professional, courteous and skillful and we're already looking forward to our next project with them."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Lincolnwood, 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.
