About Me

I'm Wojciech Puzniak

Hardwood Floor Sanding Expert

Hi, I’ve been sanding hardwood floors since 2013. I learned this trade from a great person my mentor and a good friend, the owner of Orient Flooring Company – over 40 years in business. Since then, I’ve honed my skills and worked on numerous projects throughout the Chicago area with other companies like Redesign Floors, U.S. Home Construction, Robert Jahn Construction, and DaVinci Painting.

If you’re looking for someone to restore your hardwood floors, I’d appreciate it if you checked out the impressive transformations in my portfolio. I’m passionate about flooring and take pride in paying careful attention to details when sanding hardwood floors.

How It Works

We treat your home like it’s our own. During every sanding project, our tools—including edgers and the planetary sander—are connected to commercial-grade vacuums with advanced dust separators to capture debris at the source.

We go beyond equipment. High-traffic areas, kitchen cabinets, mirrors, and nearby furnishings are carefully sealed with painter’s foil to shield them from airborne particles. Throughout the process, we vacuum multiple times to keep your space clean and breathable—not just at the end, but every step of the way.

Precision craftsmanship, minimal disruption—that’s how we work.

Got Questions? We Have Answers!

We understand that hardwood floor sanding projects can raise many questions. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common inquiries from our customers.

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.

However Our competitive rates, starting at $3–$4 per sq. ft. for sanding, include labor and materials

Over 12 years of hands-on experience, passed directly to our team by a flooring expert with over 40 years in the trade. We’ve completed hundreds of hardwood flooring projects across Chicagoland—including Oak Park, Highland Park, Glencoe, Lake Forest, Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire, Deerfield, Northbrook, Skokie, Mt. Prospect, Arlington Heights, Niles, Wilmette, Winnetka, and many other neighborhoods in and around Chicago’s North and West suburbs.

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.

➡️ Hardwood floor sanding: $3–$4per sq. ft. — includes labor and materials
➡️ Floor installation: $2–$2.5 per sq. ft. — plus the cost of wood

If your project includes extra work—like removing and reinstalling base shoe, quarter rounds, baseboards, or subfloor leveling or repairs, we’ll provide a custom quote tailored to your specific needs.

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.
