I’m not of the generation that normally writes reviews, but when a company you hire does a remarkable job, I now understand why you want to spread the word. Wojciech Puzniak of Standup Flooring was hired to refinish my black hardwood floors in my house in Wilmette. It is a huge undertaking to sand black floors that we, originally, were going to stain a light color. Wojciech sanded diligently for three days to eradicate any signs of the deep black color, only for us to realize that the hardwood floors were a red oak and did not take a light stain very well. He could not have been more patient or hardworking to get us the look we desired. The end result was magnificent and we are so pleased! If you’re looking for hardworking, reliable, pleasant and reasonably priced, Wojciech of Standup Flooring is your guy… you will NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Wojciech!
Every floor tells a different story, and we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Here’s how we can help:
✔ Full Sanding & Refinishing – If your floors have deep scratches, discoloration, or an old, uneven finish, we’ll sand them down, apply a custom stain (or leave them natural), and seal them with a high-quality finish that protects against everyday wear.
✔ Stair Refinishing & Staining – If your stairs look worn out or don’t match your floors, we’ll refinish them to create a seamless, polished look throughout your home.
✔ Screen & Recoat for a Quick Refresh – Floors that have light scratches but are still in good shape don’t always need full sanding. A buff and recoat will add a new protective layer, making them look fresh without stripping everything down.
✔ Custom Stain Matching – Want a different look? Whether it’s a natural tone, rich brown, or a more modern gray/black, we offer custom stain blends so your floors perfectly complement your space.
✔ Low-Mess Sanding – We use dust-containment systems to keep the air in your home cleaner while we work.
🛠 We Know Older & Newer Homes – Mount Prospect has a mix of mid-century, vintage, and newer homes—each with different types of hardwood. We know how to treat each floor correctly to get the best results.
💬 Honest Advice, No Pushy Sales Tactics – We’ll tell you upfront what your floors actually need (and what they don’t). If a simple refresh will do the job, we won’t recommend full refinishing.
⏳ Efficient & Professional – We stick to the timeline and handle everything with care. No long, drawn-out projects or mess left behind.
🏡 Locally Trusted – We’ve worked in homes throughout Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, and the surrounding areas, helping homeowners restore and upgrade their hardwood floors.
We work in all types of homes —whether you’re near Prospect High School, downtown Mount Prospect, or the Golf Road corridor. We also service nearby areas like Arlington Heights, Elk Grove Village, and Des Plaines.
If you’re unsure whether your floors need refinishing or just a simple refresh, let’s talk. We’ll take a look and give you an honest recommendation based on what your floors actually need.

One of our recent projects was for a young family in Mount Prospect who had just moved into a home built in the 1960s. The floors were solid oak but covered in a thick, yellowed finish that had darkened over the years. They debated replacing the floors but wanted to see if refinishing could bring out the natural wood grain.
Our solution?
✔ We sanded off the old finish, revealing beautiful red oak underneath.
✔ The homeowners wanted a warmer, modern look, so we used a 50/50 mix of Bona Antique Brown and Jacobean stain.
✔ We sealed it with a matte water-based finish for a clean, updated look that won’t show footprints easily.
Their reaction?
“We can’t believe these are the same floors! The grain is gorgeous, and the color looks amazing with our furniture. So glad we didn’t replace them!”

We had oak floors that needed to be refinished. One section was even seriously damaged. A lucky phone call found us Wojciech. He replaced the damaged section and the entire house has gorgeous new floors. He is personable, hard working, and honest. He was so good that when we needed to have carpet removed and vinyl floors put in at another location we knew just who to call. Thank you Wojciech for another job well done
Wojtek from Stand up Flooring did a fantastic job refinishing our hardwood floors. He flawlessly sanded out the scratches, fixed some holes, and applied a seal and coating that left the floors looking beautiful. He was efficient, professional, and paid attention to detail. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Standup Floor for any flooring work!
Stand Up Flooring was an absolute LIFESAVER! After more than 10 years in our home with multiple large dogs, the damage was impossible to ignore. Wojciech did an amazing job – when the work was finished, it was hard to believe we had ever had dogs! The color is perfectly even, and the result exceeded all our expectations. On top of that, Wojciech was kind enough to help move some of our heavier furniture back into place. We HIGHLY recommend Wojciech and Stand Up Flooring!
Wojciech was amazing. We had our wood floors finished and stained and even needed some of the wood replaced. He was on time, worked really hard, stayed late to fish the job. His work was first class and it looks fantastic. Also, he is a great communicator and I was able to get updates and work with him always knowing where we were at in the project. He is honest and hard working. I would recommend him and Stand Up Flooring to anyone.
