Competetive Pricing

➡️ Floor installation: $2–$2.5 per sq. ft. — plus the cost of wood

While installing wood floors we keep in mind the rules that will let you enjoy the floor for a longer period of time, like maintaining appropriate spaces between the wood connections. These are one of the standard things to keep in mind.

The most popular kinds of wood, that we install are – Red and White Oak, Walnut, and Maple. Each one has a different grain look and color after applying stain and finish, as well as hardness.

The most desirable and as well more pricey is the White Oak, as it gives a true color of wood and stain. It is the best base for the highest quality job.

However, the most popular and more affordable kind of Oak that we are installing is red oak hardwood floor. The difference is that it has naturally a little reddish hue, however after the stain or finish it still gives that natural wood look.

Maple is a much harder wood, but it does not reflect the stain color in the same way, and it is generally more white. Also, the grains of the wood are completely different.

Walnut is a very soft kind of wood, easier to scratch, or make a dent, but its beauty manifests in the amazing tree sliver and its color, which looks marvelous.

The cost of refinishing hardwood floors in Chicago typically ranges between $3 and $8 per square foot, depending on factors such as the floor’s condition, the type of finish used, and the project’s complexity. Additional services like furniture moving or extensive repairs may incur extra charges.

When evaluating potential contractors:

  • Experience: Look for companies with several years of experience in hardwood floor refinishing.

  • References and Reviews: Request references and read online reviews to gauge customer satisfaction.

  • Insurance and Licensing: Ensure the company is properly licensed and insured to protect against potential liabilities.

  • Detailed Estimates: Obtain written estimates that clearly outline the scope of work, materials to be used, and the project timeline.

Floor sanding prices vary based on several factors: floor condition and complexity, stain selection, number of finish coats, and the type of finish applied. For example, water-based finishes cost more but offer different levels of protection and appearance.

To help customers understand what to expect, we often provide a general price range per square foot.

DIY videos make floor sanding look easy—but it’s not. Sanding hardwood requires pro-grade equipment, multiple sanding stages, and flawless finish work. One skipped step can ruin the result.

Laminate or engineered flooring is much simpler to install, and a great option if you’re on a budget. Need help deciding? Give us a call—we’re happy to guide you – (224) 306-9753

The refinishing process usually spans 1-2 and 3 to 5 days, encompassing sanding, staining (if desired), and applying protective finishes. After the final coat:

  • Walking: Light foot traffic is generally permitted after 3-24 hours.

  • Furniture: It’s advisable to wait 48 hours before moving furniture back.

  • Rugs: Wait at least 7 days before placing rugs to ensure the finish cures properly.

Drying times can vary based on the type of finish used (water-based vs. oil-based) and environmental conditions.

Traditional sanding can produce significant dust. However, professional companies offer dustless sanding options, utilizing advanced equipment to capture up to 99% of airborne dust, resulting in a cleaner and healthier environment during and after the process.
