What affects the price

The final price for your flooring project depends on a few moving parts. First, the material itself—hardwood or luxury vinyl—will shift the total significantly. You also have to consider the square footage of the space and the current condition of your subfloor. Tack on factors like stairs, furniture moving, and the complexity of the layout, and you have your total. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

The 'best' flooring is subjective because it depends entirely on how you live. For a high-traffic entryway, a durable tile or luxury vinyl might be the best option. For a formal living room, solid hardwood is often preferred for its elegance. We help you weigh the pros and cons of durability, maintenance, and comfort to decide what works for your specific household needs. We focus on matching the right material to your daily routine and budget.

What's involved in refinishing hardwood floors in an older Chicago home?

Refinishing hardwood floors in an older Chicago home typically involves a multi-step process managed by experienced professionals. This begins with sanding down the existing finish to remove scratches, stains, and wear, often using progressively finer grits of sandpaper. After thorough cleaning, a new stain color can be applied if desired, followed by several coats of a durable protective finish, such as polyurethane or a hard-wax oil. The pros will ensure proper ventilation and drying times between coats, carefully working around any unique architectural elements common in older Chicago properties to restore the wood's natural beauty and resilience.

Can Pergo flooring be installed in Chicago homes?

Pergo offers a range of laminate and vinyl plank products known for their durability and ease of maintenance, making them suitable for busy households. The installation method, often a click-lock system, is efficient, but proper subfloor preparation is still essential to ensure a stable and long-lasting result in Chicago’s climate.
