When Historic Railroad Equipment Manufacturers U.S.A. approached us to restore the flooring of a historic train car, we knew we were about to embark on a unique and challenging project. This wasn’t just any train car; it was a restaurant car intended for the Abraham Lincoln Funeral Car, previously restored by the company. The significance of this car, tied to the legacy of one of America’s greatest presidents, made this project a truly special endeavor.

In Northbrook, Illinois, Stand Up Flooring completed a breathtaking transformation of an older home, revealing the natural beauty concealed beneath layers of old carpeting. The residence features a spacious living room on the first floor, accessed via a single step down. On the left side of this room, several stairs ascend to a mid-level floor where a long hallway connects to a room beside the kitchen. Looking up from the base of the stairs toward this corner room, one can see a long balcony adorned with rich, dark brown wooden spindles and crowned by three round arches.

At Stand Up Flooring, we’re committed to enhancing your home with superior quality and style. Our recent project in Northbrook, Illinois, involved a detailed renovation of a staircase and second-floor balcony, previously covered in carpet.

Led by our expert, Wojtek, the first step involved removing the old carpeting and thoroughly cleaning the area of all remnants like staples and nails. This careful cleaning ensured a perfect base for the renovation.

Hardwood Refinishing Service had the pleasure of revitalizing a charming single-story house in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, with warm and friendly Polish homeowners. This project was a testament to the enduring quality of hardwood floors, as the original floors had not seen refinishing since the house was purchased two decades ago.

Despite the passage of time – 20 years, the hardwood floors in this home remained in surprisingly good condition; they simply needed a fresh, rejuvenating touch. Our team carefully assessed the floors and identified areas requiring special attention, such as a few cracked wood planks in the kitchen area, which we replaced.

Another project encompassed the precise refinishing of stairs and the second floor, with the goal of achieving a seamless match to the rich, dark brown color of the flooring on the first floor. This undertaking presented an exciting opportunity to create a cohesive and unified aesthetic throughout the home.

The challenge was not only to revitalize the stairs and the second floor but also to ensure that the color was perfectly coordinated with the existing dark brown flooring on the first floor. Our skilled team approached this task with finesse and expertise, resulting in a smooth and continuous transition of color that tied together the entire space.

We undertook a renovation project in River Forest that required not only refinishing but also repairing and installing parts of the hardwood floors reviving the rich heritage of a home with nearly a century-old hardwood floors.

The floors, once dulled by time, now gleam with the deep, amber luster of Bona Nutmeg stain. Throughout the project, we see the transformation unfold. Initially, the rooms are a canvas of exposed wood and previous wear, showing the age and history of the space. As we progress, the rich grain of the wood begins to stand out, enhanced by the warm tones of stain, which complements the natural beauty of the hardwood.

Our collaboration with Redesign Floors led us to a project in beautiful Geneva, Illinois, where we had the opportunity to transform a stairway that had encountered a unique challenge. The previous finish applied to the stairs had become problematic, heating up and causing sandpaper to adhere during the refinishing process. This necessitated extra effort and materials to restore the stairs to their former glory.

Our team tackled the project with precision and dedication. After meticulously removing the old varnish, we applied a golden oak stain that breathed new life into the stairs. This choice not only created a warm and inviting ambiance but also harmonized seamlessly with the existing floors, stair banisters, and posts.

At Stand Up Flooring Hardwood Refinishing Service, we take pride in delivering exceptional hardwood floor refinishing services, and our recent project in a charming condominium is a testament to our expertise. We were entrusted with refinishing prefinished maple flooring in the dining and living rooms, transforming them into stunning spaces that now perfectly match the newly installed hardwood floor in the adjoining bedrooms.

Hardwood Refinishing Service, in collaboration with Orient Flooring, had the privilege of working on an extraordinary project in the heart of Little Italy, Chicago, Illinois. The floors in this historic setting were not just old; they were severely damaged. However, our dedicated team brought them back to life, preserving their timeless charm.

One of the standout features of this project was the two sets of stairs leading up to the 3rd floor. These stairs featured custom dark blue painted railings, adding a touch of sophistication and modern flair to the space. The contrast between the classic hardwood floors and the contemporary railings created a striking visual impact that left a lasting impression.

I recently had the opportunity to work on a challenging and rewarding hardwood floor refinishing project. The task at hand was to restore the elegance of two rooms, a dining room and a front room that faced the street, both of which were adorned with beautiful custom dark walnut frames.

The first step in the process was to carefully prepare the rooms. We began by clearing out all the furniture and covering the custom walnut frames to protect them from any dust or debris. Proper preparation is crucial in ensuring a clean and smooth refinishing job.

Our next project had us at the helm, orchestrating the refinishing of a cozy room and an adjoining hallway. It was a journey towards embracing nature's finest, brought to life with a natural water-based finish and a whitener additive, elevating the floors' brilliance and imbuing them with an authentic, vibrant allure.

Our canvas was compact but exuded its unique charm. The task at hand was to breathe new life into this space, and we embarked on this mission with zeal. We opted for a natural water-based finish, a choice that not only celebrated the innate beauty of the wood but also ensured environmental friendliness.

Hardwood Refinishing Service embarked on a unique project that involved the installation of 1 1/4-inch red oak hardwood flooring and a landing in the iconic George W. Smith house, designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. Additionally, we took on the meticulous task of sanding the staircases, ensuring the home’s architectural integrity was preserved.

The significance of working on a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home cannot be overstated. We approached this project with a deep sense of respect for the architectural legacy and a commitment to maintaining the original vision of the home.

We recently took on a fascinating project, bringing life back to a home’s staircase and second floor. We’re all about hardwood, and this project allowed us to combine our expertise with artistic touches to make the space look fabulous.

Our job was to refresh the stairs and second floor, and it needed a bit of preparation to make it shine. We used a Golden Oak stain, which enhanced the wood’s natural look and added a warm color that went well with the home’s style. To protect and seal the wood, we used a water-based Loba EasyFinish. It’s good for the environment and dries quickly, making it easier for the homeowner.

The project commenced with the sanding of the room, a meticulous process that ensured a smooth and even surface for the subsequent transformation. The choice of rosewood stain brought a touch of warmth and elegance to the space, enhancing the wood with captivating red undertones.

The challenge lay in the fact that the wood previously installed in the room was hickory or some variant of maple, which typically features lighter tones. However, our expertise in floor refinishing allowed us to seamlessly introduce the rosewood stain, creating a striking contrast that added depth and character to the room.

In our portfolio, we would like to include a variety of projects where we demonstrated our expertise in a wide range of hardwood floor repair tasks. These services encompassed a multitude of challenges, each requiring unique solutions to breathe new life into the flooring.

The repairs involved intricate work, such as surgically removing damaged sections of the floor where screws had left their mark and seamlessly integrating new wood into those spaces. We also tackled the task of eliminating carpeting and skillfully connecting new flooring with the existing floor, followed by expert sanding to ensure a seamless and uniform appearance.

Our latest project involved refinishing 1600-square-foot hardwood floors in a stately mansion with a natural satin water-based finish from Loba Company. The choice of a natural satin water-based finish from Loba Company added a touch of modern elegance to the traditional grandeur of the space. This project exemplified our commitment to preserving the charm and character of historic homes while ensuring they meet contemporary standards of beauty and durability.

In the tranquil community nestled behind the fire station on Shermer Rd in Northbrook, Illinois, we took on a remarkable project in collaboration with Orient Flooring: refinishing a factory-finished maple hardwood floor. This undertaking presented unique challenges due to the exceptional hardness of both the wood and the existing finish.

Our skilled team confronted the task head-on, employing sanding paper with grit ratings far lower than the standard. In some areas, we had to utilize an impressive 16-grit paper, highlighting the extreme hardness of the wood. This meticulous process required precision and expertise to ensure the optimal outcome.

I had the privilege of working on a remarkable hardwood floor refinishing project in Elgin, collaborating with Redesign Floors. This beautiful residence boasted a sunroom and an open layout that encompassed a small dining room, a kitchen, a living room, and a spacious sunroom.

The sunroom was the centerpiece of the project, flooded with natural light through its glass windows and sliding doors. It created a warm and inviting atmosphere, seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors.

Our latest project, undertaken by Hardwood Refinishing Service in Collaboration with Orient Flooring, involved detailed refinishing of dark walnut hardwood floors, complete with a stunning spiral staircase. The transformation was truly exceptional.

The existing dark walnut hardwood floors had seen their fair share of wear and sun exposure over the years, resulting in significant discoloration, particularly in the dining room. The telltale signs of sun damage left a stark contrast: where a carpet had once been, the floor retained its deep, rich walnut hue, while the surrounding areas had faded to a less appealing yellowish tone.

When approached to refinish the railings of a client’s home, we knew this project would be another testament to our commitment to quality and detail. The clients had previously worked with Redesign Floors to refinish their first-floor hardwood and stairs, and while the results were stunning, the railings no longer matched the new look. Our mission was to restore the railings to their natural color, ensuring a seamless and elegant transition throughout the home.

This project not only helped increase the home’s value on the market but also showcased our growing brand presence in the Northbrook area, where Stand Up Flooring is located. With each local project, our name is becoming more synonymous with high-quality hardwood floor refinishing services in the community. Especially after refinishing Northbrook library auditorium stage and train station in Deerfield, as well as many more projects in Northbrook Illinois.

At Stand Up Flooring, we understand the importance of cohesive design, especially when integrating different types of flooring materials. One of our recent projects involved installing, sanding, and staining hardwood stairs to match the color of the existing vinyl flooring in a home.
