"Mike and his team were skilled professionals. We had maple flooring installed on the first floor of our home. Mike worked with his team on demolition and installation and made sure dust and dirt were kept to a minimum. Even going to the extra step of covering up things in my basement. (I hadn’t even thought of it) The job was done on time and beautifully finished. I would highly recommend Mike, All-Pro Hardwood Flooring, for your flooring job."

"I cannot recommend Adrian highly enough! From the moment we connected, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Communication was seamless, he's incredibly easy to talk to, responsive, and always clear about next steps. Adrian is the kind of professional you hope to find: respectful, reliable, and truly dedicated to his craft. He put in long hours to get the job done, and the results speak for themselves, our floors look stunning. His attention to detail and quality of work far exceeded our expectations. On top of that, his quote was beyond reasonable for the level of service and craftsmanship he delivered. If you're looking for someone who is honest, hardworking, and genuinely cares about doing the job right, Adrian is your guy. A true gem. We're so grateful to have found him!"

"We had a terrific experience! Rick and Janine were very good at explaining cost, time frame and did exactly what they said they would do in our exact time frame. We had them match our existing Brazilian cherry floors after we removed the carpet. It looks like itâ s been here all along, absolutely seamless transition. Big praises, add to that, they couldnâ t have been more professional and really care about their customer. Yep, Iâ d use them again in a heartbeat. Weâ ve already given their name to a few neighbors. Itâ s good to see a local company who cares and gives and honest price up front. ~Thanks Rick and Janine!"

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Oak Lawn, 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.
