"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."

"Rustic Flooring installed laminate flooring we bought from LL Flooring. Marcel and his guys did an excellent, professional and with attention to detail job. I highly recommend Rustic and will use them again for additional flooring projects we are planning. We couldn’t be happier."

"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."

"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."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Wauconda, 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.
