Our Recent Refinishing Projects

Refinishing Stained Engineered Wood and Applying Natural Finish

This is one of our old projects that I found on my old iPhone. We refinished the darker stained engineered floor and applied a natural oil-based finish, which highlighted the variety of colors of the wood planks.

N WAYNE AVE, CHICAGO HARDWOOD REFINISHING

At one of our past projects on N Wayne Ave in the heart of Chicago, we had the privilege of transforming a beautiful condominium’s hardwood floors. The space featured an open layout, connecting the living room, dining room, and kitchen seamlessly. The dining room boasted a stunning, rounded corner, which added a unique architectural charm to the space. Large windows flooded the area with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

REFINISHING STAIRS WITH 2 ROOMS USING NATURAL FINISH

We were honored to collaborate with Orient Flooring on a remarkable project that involved refinishing stairs and two rooms, resulting in a stunning transformation. This project presented unique challenges and standout features that made it truly special.

KENILWORTH ILLINOIS REFRESHING THE MANSION FLOORS WITH COAT OF FINISH

Our past collaboration with Orient Flooring led us to a magnificent project – rejuvenating the floors in a newly acquired mansion in the prestigious Kenilworth neighborhood of Illinois. This venture showcased the power of refinishing to enhance the elegance and charm of a historic property.

HANNOVER PARK HARDWOOD FLOOR & STAIRS SANDING AND INSTALLATION WITH WATER BARRIER GLUE

Our recent project with Stand Up Flooring took us to a charming townhome in Hanover Park, where we had the privilege of completely transforming two floors and stairs. The project involved removing old Pergo flooring and carpets, followed by the installation of beautiful hardwood stairs and floors, ensuring durability and elegance throughout the home.

STRIKING STAIRS REFINISHING IN GENEVA, ILLINOIS

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.

REFINISHING FACTORY PREFINISHED MAPLE HARDWOOD FLOOR IN NORTHBROOK

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.

ELGIN OAKDALE DRIVE HARDWOOD FLOOR REFINISHING WITH SUNROOM

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.

DARK WALNUT HARDWOOD REFINISHING SERVICE WITH NATURAL STAIN

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.

REFINISHING HARDWOOD FLOORS AND STAIRS IN LITTLE ITALY, CHICAGO

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.

REVIVING HARDWOOD ELEGANCE IN ELK GROVE VILLAGE, ILLINOIS

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.

Refinishing Mansions' Hardwood Floors With Natural Satin Water Base Finish

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.

Hardwood Floor Repair | Fixing Wood Floors

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.

REFINISHING HARDWOOD FLOOR WITH ROSEWOOD STAIN COLOR

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.

MATCHING STAIN COLOR DARK BROWN WITH 1ST FLOOR + FLOOR REPAIRS

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.

REFINISHING HARDWOOD FLOOR IN GEORGE W. SMITH HOUSE – FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT

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.

Refinishing Hardwood Stairs With Golden Oak Stain

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.

REFINISHING HARDWOOD FLOOR AND HALLWAY WITH WHITENER

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.

REFINISHING HARDWOOD FLOORS IN CHICAGO WITH LOBA WHITENER

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.
