Get matched with top wood flooring installation pros in Crystal Lake, 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 :)"

"We had Chris, Tom and the team refinish all of our hardwood floors. The team did an amazing - in a time when it can be difficult to communicate with contractors or get a call back - I was thoroughly impressed with the level of communication throughout the entire process and updates on how things were coming along. They made every effort to make the process go as quickly and smoothly as possible. We completely changed the color of our floors and it looks as though they were always this color!! The harshest of critics has yet to find something they missed. They were even able to replace planks where a wall once was - there is no way anyone can tell that those pieces of flooring are new to the house. They are true masters of their craft and artists! Would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Superior Hardwood Floors Inc. is a great company to work with if you want to install new floors or get your floors refinished. We also had our bannisters refinished and new spindle put in. George is very professional and quoted us the best price of all the other companies we looked at. He and his team were very pleasant to work with and took great care over our home reno. Highly recommend this company. And will have him back again to do our upstairs shortly."

"Wizard of Wood Floors did an awesome job! They were efficient, on time and did everything that was promised. We had new floors installed in our family room and hallway. Our existing floors in the dining room and kitchen were refinished to match the new floors. They did a great job in putting up plastic to contain the dust in the rooms that were not being done. Even after they left everyday, they cleaned everything up so we could function in our home. It was a big project, but well worth it. The end product was absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with our floors. 6 months after our floors were installed, we noticed a splinter in the floor in our family room. I called the owner, Mike Galloway to let him know. Him and his team immediately got back to me and within 2 days the splinter was repaired and my floor looks as good as new. That is true customer service!!"

"Large 1st floor project. Entry way, hall closet, kitchen, powder room, living room and dining room - team installed luxury vinyl planks throughout. Also they installed 1/4 round trim to replace old trim. Job was estimated to take 2 day and they did complete on time. Also they did not try to sneak in charges or change the estimated price. I will use them again for my upstairs rooms. 100% satisfactory work."

"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 had the carpeting replaced in one of the bedrooms. Expo sent me sample photos of carpets by email so I could choose a carpet over the phone. Dina, the salesperson, was very helpful. The installer was terrific. He got there right on time and took out the old carpeting and hauled it away and then installed the new carpet in two hours.It looks beautiful. I'm really pleased with the service I got. I have used Expo several times before and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

"US Standard Flooring did an excellent job in refinishing our hard wood floors. The price was great compared to other quotes and the work was completed within the timetable agreed to!!! We would definitely recommend this contractor to friends and family. A++++++ Sergui Dan & Pam"
