"Refinishing I’m surprised by the few bad reviews I read in here since our experience with America’s Best Flooring has been nothing but wonderful! Work was completed on schedule and house left in good order. Our neighbors can’t believe it is the same floor! We would definitely recommend Nunzio and his team to anyone looking to redo their floors."

"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 ! "

"It could not have gone better. We recently bought a new place that had very old carpeting covering half the house. Although it is very hard to provide an estimate of refinishing floors when you don't know what is under the carpet, Mike was true to his estimate and his crew completed the job right on time. As with any job, there were some unexpected issues that needed to be addressed. Mike's team, and George in particular, were able to fix the problems (namely, wood HVAC vents and floor molding) at a very reasonable price. The best part of the job was that the master staircase was previously carpeted and was in pretty bad shape. After pulling up the carpet, Mike gave us some options on how to refinish and/or paint the stairs and risers. We had them refinish the stairs and risers (which cost a little extra), but now the stairs are a showpiece in the house. We couldn't be happier with the work that Mike did for us. We have now used him twice and would use him again in a heartbeat."

"I had Adrian, the owner of MCraft, install wood on my second floor and I could not be more impressed with the experience. He was professional from start to finish. He took the time to explain the type of wood being used and walked us through the entire process. He even provided samples of the different stains we wanted to have on our floor, allowing us to choose the perfect color for our space. He was always punctual and when leaving ensured the area was clean. In moving our furniture prior to/ after the job he was always careful. Instead of hurrying through the sanding process he took his time. It was a time consuming process requiring many different levels of sanding and it was clear he was not trying to rush the job. I was so impressed with the results that I hired him again to refinish my first floor. If you are looking for a professional, reliable and skillful contractor do not hesitate to contact Adrian."

"Our entire second floor needed a combination of ripping out carpet, patching weird missing holes of hardwood, installing hardwood into our master bedroom & closet, refinishing, and staining it all to perfectly match our living room. Everything was completed in 8 days, the exact time frame that was originally quoted. The work they completed is stunning. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the Chicagoland area looking for professional, local, and quality flooring services."

"Alex and Mario are the best! I hired them to refinish approximately 1,000 square feet of hardwood flooring. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was beyond what I expected. They finished the job on time and the end result was simply amazing. I highly recommend and I will be using them again in the future and have also referred them to my neighbors!"

He helped with laminate flooring, hardwood stairs and installing new baseboard/shoe for the entire floor. Completed the work on time and budget and most importantly to our satisfaction. Will hire him again and also strongly recommend him to others as well."

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.
