Frequently asked in Chicago

What factors influence the cost of wood floor refinishing in Chicago?

The cost of refinishing hardwood floors in Chicago is primarily influenced by the total square footage requiring attention, the current condition of the existing wood, and the specific finish you choose. Deeper scratches or significant water damage may necessitate more extensive repairs before refinishing can commence, increasing labor time. The type of wood species also plays a role, as some harder woods are more challenging to sand and finish. Ultimately, the level of detail and the premium nature of the chosen stain and topcoat will affect the overall investment. Get a precise quote by calling us.

How long does hardwood flooring installation typically take in Chicago homes?

The timeframe for hardwood flooring installation in Chicago homes varies significantly based on the total square footage, the type of wood being installed, and any necessary subfloor preparation. Simple plank installations in a single room might take a day or two. However, larger projects involving multiple rooms, intricate patterns, or significant subfloor remediation can extend to several days or even a week. The experienced installers we work with aim for efficiency without compromising quality.
