"The team did an AMAZING job. They were speedy, even with some unexpected work in the beginning, and the quality is fantastic. They really made our house feel like a home. They removed, leveled, installed, and refinished our entire first floor with real hardwood in five days. Truly cannot recommend them enough!!"

"We recently had Rustic Flooring replace our plywood subfloor and install luxury vinyl flooring, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation, Marcel stood out—he was extremely informative, patient, and took the time to go over all our options in detail. His knowledge and honesty made it clear he was the right choice. Marcel and his crew did a fantastic job with both the installation and helping us decide on the best flooring for our needs. The workmanship is excellent, the price was very fair, and the whole process was smooth and professional. We’re thrilled with how everything turned out and highly recommend Rustic Flooring to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price."

"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."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Joliet, 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.
