New wide-plank hardwood, a fresh sand and finish on the oak you already have, repairs and staircases, for homes across Palatine and the Northwest Chicago suburbs.
Natural white oak
Matte, wide plank. Keeps a room bright and calm.
Every job starts with an in-home measurement and a look at your subfloor, existing wood and the way you use each room.
Sand to bare wood, test stain colors on your actual floor, then seal with a water-based or oil-based polyurethane. The most cost-effective way to make tired, scratched or yellowed oak look new, or to change its color completely.
Solid and engineered hardwood over wood subfloors or concrete, from classic oak strip to 7-inch-plus wide-plank white oak. Old flooring removal, subfloor prep, thresholds and trim included so the floor looks built in.
Replace water-stained, pet-damaged or cracked boards and weave new wood into old so the patch disappears. Common after a wall removal, a kitchen remodel, or when you pull up carpet and find oak with a few rough spots.
Refinish worn treads and handrails to match your floors, or pull the carpet and install new hardwood treads with painted or stained risers. Matching the stairs to the floor ties the whole house together.
A new floor changes how a room feels. We help you finish the space around it with area rugs sized to your furniture, and styling that suits the wood tone you picked.
Many Northwest suburban homes built from the 1950s through the 1990s have solid oak that only needs refinishing. Here is how to tell.

Most full sand-and-refinish projects in the Northwest suburbs fall roughly between $3 and $6 per square foot, depending on floor condition, stain, finish type, stairs and room access. You get an itemized written price after an in-home measurement.
Installed prices for solid or engineered hardwood commonly range from about $9 to $18 or more per square foot including materials. Species, plank width, pattern (such as herringbone), subfloor prep and trim all change the number.
A typical 500 to 800 square foot area takes about 3 to 5 days including drying. With a water-based finish you can usually walk on the floor in socks after about 24 hours and return furniture after 2 to 3 days.
Refinish when the wood is solid and the damage is on the surface: scratches, dull finish, gray spots or a color you no longer like. Replace when boards are cupped or soft from water, an engineered floor has no wear layer left, or you want a different plank width or pattern.
Often yes. Engineered hardwood with a wear layer of about 2 mm or more can usually be sanded once or more. We check the wear layer at a floor vent or threshold before recommending it.
