Get matched with top wood flooring installation pros in Barrington, IL

"I own residential property in Chicago which is over 100 years old and once had beautiful hardwood floors throughout. However, by the late 2010s, the floors were sadly past their prime and those glory days were but a distant memory. Over a century of neglect, changing tastes, and numerous remodels, past owners took the easy way out by replacing missing sections of flooring with plywood, ignoring basic upkeep, and simply covering up the damage (aka their crimes) with wall-to-wall carpet. Blasphemy I say! This trend shall have no place in a city where Mike and his team from Mike's Hardwood Flooring heroically fight back restoring one hardwood floor at a time! Every week, they courageously repair the damage caused by the cheap landlords and cut-rate contractors from Chicago's dark past! Lol...in all seriousness, I've used Mike several times now to refinish my existing hardwood floors as well as repair hardwood flooring that was damaged decades ago and hidden by carpet. I'm anti-carpet / pro-hardwood floor :) Over the past few years, Mike has restored all of the hardwood flooring in my own home as well as in several of my rental units to their former glory! As for Mike himself...he's responsive, knowledgeable, forthright, kind, and down-to-earth. Despite my eagerness to restore as much of the original wood as possible, Mike will actually take the time to discuss options and do a cost-benefit analysis (including the extent/history of damage, type of wood, the science, and labor involved, etc.). Although much of my original flooring remains, it could not always be done economically. Mike doesn't try to upsell you and rightfully steered me towards a less expensive option (of new hardwood) for a better result two weeks before posting this review. Which I very much appreciated! And the same can be said of his team as well, including George and Francisco, who go to great lengths to ensure that the floor you want is the floor you get (i.e. making sure you know what you can and can't do during the first few days after they finish). Included below are several before and after pictures and the results speak for themselves! I was particularly impressed how Mike and his team were able to beautifully restore the original wood on a set of stairs that were covered in a layer of tar (no idea why) and carpeted over. I highly recommend Mike's Hardwood Flooring"

"Floors look great! Fast installation, they cleaned up and left everything looking wonderful. We had a tricky time scheduling, or this would be Five Stars Easily :)"

"Mike was amazing! We were in a bind around the Holidays and Mike responded immediately with a quote. He is a true artist at wood refinishing as well as installation! His estimate of time and money was right on! He was fast, professional and provided years of knowledge and advice beyond the scope of work. If Angie's list had a higher rating than A, he would have gotten it. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for floor installation or refinishing!"

"My wife and I could not be more pleased with the installation. The installers were efficient, professional, and master craftsmen. Our floor is absolutely stunning and we are so glad that we hired A Step Ahead Flooring for the job. I highly recommend for anyone looking for hardwood flooring installation."

"George and his team were excellent! The cost and time to finish were very close to his estimate. We had asked for additional work to be done and his price was very reasonable and he easily adapted to what we wanted to do. He had a team that specialized in wood floors, banisters and door installations. They started and finished the job without interruption working 9am-5pm. They are very hard workers with attention to detail. Floors, baseboards, banisters, spindles, trim, closets, doors all looked perfect and many great suggestions were made by the owner along the way. George has been in the business for many years and has a very positive and friendly personality. This makes it easier for the homeowners like us to have dreams become a reality. I walk in my house now and it feels totally new!! I only wish we had more rooms for them to work on. I am sure you will be very satisfied by the excellent work Superior Hardwood Flooring provides!"

"We used Wizard of Wood in 2018 to refinish an existing hardwood floor and expand it into two additional rooms. Four years later, the floor still looked great, so we had floors installed in four bedrooms and a hallway. Again, the results were great! There was lots of attention to detail around a curved staircase and a fireplace. Wizard of Wood was easy to work with, completed the work on time and as quoted."

"ReDesign should be your go to company for your flooring needs. We had flooring installed in our first floor over a year ago and within months the flooring began to fail. I brought ReDesign in for a repair quote and they pointed out the incorrect preparation of the subfloor which was causing the vinyl flooring failure. They provided a quote to replace the flooring that was very competitive and showed me all the mistakes made during the first installation while performing the work. They even pointed out the mistake made in laying out the planks. The pattern of the blanks now are amazing. This company is fair, trustworthy, and true craftsmen. I have complete confidence this floor will maintain its structure and beauty for a long time. If you are like me and have zero knowledge of flooring, ReDesign should be your choice! You can trust them to exceed your project goals!"

"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"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. He has been a god send to me. He worked with me and helped me out. I had a limited budget and a short time to do. He goes above and beyond and exceeded my expectations."

"I became acquainted with DAC Flooring when my wooden kitchen floors needed repair due to water damage from dishwasher. Daniel reached out quickly and came by the same day. Floor was replaced with durable vinyl. Remaining wood floor was sanded and refinished. Decided to replace old carpet in 2 bedrooms with wood floors to match existing. Finished product is almost a perfect match! Daniel is also a contractor and his team of experts painted my entire condo ceilings to floors. Every person who worked on my project showed great workmanship with attention to detail. Their cleanliness is remarkable! Impressed with speed and quality of work. Highly recommended"
