They are professional and exacting, with the final result probably the best work Iâ ve ever seen. The finished floor is gorgeous. I will wait for Marcel and his team to become available to handle my future projects."

"After damage from flooding in July, we needed to replace our flooring. In mid-July 2023, we found Vintge Flooring. The communication and price was attracting at Vintage, but the hardwood floor we went with had the option of glue down or floating. Vintage told us floating would be the best, while others told us different things all together. We believed them and went with their reccomendation. Well, they did absolutely no prep to the subfloor (in this case concrete floor), and after a day of installing, the floor was extremely uneven and lumpy, and almost felt like bouncy, since they didn't do any prep work. Well, they insisted it was fine, completely discarding what I said to them that it's unacceptable. They figured when they installed the baseboards it would get better- it did not at all. The bounce was so terrible that you could see the entire floor moving each time you took a step. We had people over and every single one of them commented how awful the floor felt and they didn't feel safe. We ripped it out and discovered they used the carboard boxes that the flooring came in to try and level the floor without any additional work. The owner, Jayson, has ignored emails after the fact, we had documented our complaint that he continues to ignore. We are looking for restitution for the installation work only, not the cost of flooring. We spent $3000 on garbage installation. Another Chicago business scammer."

"Home Repair Fraud. Theft by deception. We got a new floor and the installer said his brother was the field estimator and was authorized to remove the "Kitchen Cabinets"? We never wanted cabinets from a flooring company, But they targeted the owner because she is 91 years old and took them. Months later we got them back from the ex-con and hoodlum they sent to rob the owner totally destroyed and had to pay another $1300 to get them back. We feared for our safety because they wanted to know if the house was for sale and what types of cars we were driving. They prey upon the elderly. Do not use this company unless you have a criminal attorney on retainer. Stay away from DeSitter at all costs."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in North Chicago, IL
Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.
Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.
Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
