Floor Refinishing Service. Hardwood Floor Sanding & Installation
Hardwood Refinishing Service embarked on a unique project with Orient Flooring, 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 Refinishing Hardwood floors in 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.
The George W. Smith House is an exquisite example of Wright’s architectural mastery, strikingly resembling his earlier “bootleg” houses. The simple shingle siding in a muted brown palette, the steeply pitched roof, and the thin, towering chimneys pay homage to the distinctive features of Wright’s early designs. Notably, the roofs gently flare as they extend over the supporting walls, mirroring the flared band of siding that extends from the lower portion of the exterior.
Our installation of 1 1/4-inch red oak hardwood flooring and landing seamlessly integrated with the home’s architectural elements, paying tribute to the timeless design principles laid out by Frank Lloyd Wright himself. The red oak complemented the home’s character, enhancing its natural beauty and breathing new life into the interior spaces.
Sanding the staircases was another essential aspect of this project. Our team executed this task with great attention to detail, bringing out the natural beauty of the wood and preserving the historical charm of the home’s interior.
The result was a harmonious marriage of timeless architecture and expert craftsmanship. The red oak flooring and landing, along with the rejuvenated staircases, revitalized the George W. Smith House, preserving its historical significance while infusing it with a fresh, inviting atmosphere.

EXCELLENT Based on 29 reviews Caroline (Yixiao)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! Jonathan LeiterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! Harriet FowlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Brittany EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have to commend Wojciech for his easygoing patience and understanding when monkey wrench after monkey wrench was thrown and the process. The planks arrived damaged from Home Depot 5 times, constantly rescoping the completion date — and if that wasn’t enough when the day finally came to complete the floors a lost phone got in the way. Throughout the entire process Wojciech was incredibly calm and understanding and he didn’t hesitate to turn the car around to meet me. I think about how easy it could have been to decide he didn’t want to deal with this and leave the remaining 10% of the job unfinished, but he has a great work ethic. The floors were part “marble” tile and part carpet. He removed the carpet, leveled that area with the tile, and then applied the COREtec luxury vinyl planks.

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. MM BadgerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Stand Up Flooring to refinish our hardwood kitchen floor. We are very, very happy with the results. We wanted a company close to our Northbrook home. They carefully listened to our needs. Kept us clearly informed of the process and progress. They gave us great information on the care for the floor. Will definitely call Stand Up Flooring again.
