"I need it by wood floors refinished before moving into my new condominium. I contacted Ishmael and told him of my timeframe constraints I was under, and he was able to redo my floors in three days. He met with me the day off to review the needs of my floors, came the next day sanded, and stained them, and was able to seal them the next day. They look brand new. Such a positive experience. I highly recommend recommend Ishmael and his team of sons to redo your floors."

"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!"

"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 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."

"Alex and Mario took on a very complicated rebuild of my floors and subfloors due to extensive water damage. The results are exceptional! I will have them back shortly to perform sanding, stain and sealing to the upstairs wood flooring to match to finish the special touches they provide - Thank you from the bottom of my heart"

"It’s taken me some time to decide to post a review, as mine is really very mixed. Our floors were the bulk of the project with either refinishing or replacing carpet with hardwood throughout our home. We are VERY happy with the completed project on our floors. Had some initial concerns with the finish not looking smooth, but this was remedied and the end result is beautiful. Dust free— yes! Didn’t really think it was possible, but really, very little dust. No issues with the staircase were immediately noticed, but since completion of the project we have noticed a couple. 1) One stair tread toward the botttom of the staircase was cut short (has much shorter overhang than the other treads). It is pretty obvious once you notice the mistake. I would have a hard time with thinking that this was not noticed when installed. 2) The board at the top of the stairs was cut short and a “sliver” of hardwood was put in the gap. Also, the hardwood treads were installed on the existing staircase. Don’t think I really thought about this issue before the work was done. But this makes the first riser taller than the others and the last riser up the staircase shorter than the others. After completing the projects above, I asked about work on an additional smaller project. A verbal quote and verbal timeline for doing the project were given and I was told I would receive an email with the quote. I did not receive an email. When I inquired, I was told that they could not do the project now and that basically I should look elsewhere. Hm... So .... overall I would say I was happy with the wood floors which again were the bulk of our project, not so happy with the staircase, and not so happy with the response (and lack of response) that I got when I inquired about furthers work."

"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."

"EXCELLENT! After sanding through layers of old paint we discovered the floor was maple and not oak. Andrei did a beautiful job restoring the maple and used a clear finish to let the beauty of the wood show through. He also sanded the scratches and old finish from the maple butcher block counter in the kitchen and finished with a clear finish and the counter is marvelous. Highly recommended. Will definitely call on him again when we refinish the kitchen flooring next spring."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Wheeling, 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.
