Get matched with top floor sanding pros in Des Plaines, IL

"We had a floor leveling issue in which a room was part tile over cement and part carpet over hardwood, with the tiled part being higher than the carpeted part. We wanted to remove the tile, level the entire floor, and have hard wood flooring throughout the room. This was a challenge for the other contractors and flooring people who came out to give estimates. However, Mike of Mike’s flooring came out and immediately knew how to implement a plan of action. Mike’s team responded quickly and finished the job in a timely manner. They were pleasant and respectful, took care to limit the dust, and cleaned up after themselves. Mike also gave us great remodeling advice and provided us with great referrals for other trade experts. Most importantly, Mike charged a fair price, and he and his team did a WONDERFUL job. The new hard wood flooring looks GORGEOUS! Mike is a true expert in flooring, and I highly recommend him and his team."

"Ismael and his team did a great job! They removed our carpets, sanded, and stained the hardwood floors that were beneath. Quick turnaround and he was great with communication throughout the process."

"It went great. Marcel and his team were a pleasure. The floors look amazing"

"We contacted Modern Quality Flooring and a couple of other providers that we found on Angie's List. After getting proposals from all 3 providers, we decided to have Modern Quality Flooring refinish our kitchen floors based on the owner, Danny's, professionalism and experience. Work was scheduled and began and ended on time with no negative surprises. On the positive side, Danny's workers diligently sanded the floor with dust free sanders and covered everything in plastic leaving no cleanup for me after completion - either in the kitchen or elsewhere in the house. Plus, our kitchen floor looks GREAT! The whole process from start to finish was surprisingly easy for me, too. Thank you Danny for a job well done!"

"After checking the reviews of several flooring contractors, I decided that Jerry's would provide the best outcome for my flooring remodel project. I was absolutely right. He came out to measure my floors and gave me a quote that was right in the same range as the other quotes I received. However, the others didn't claim to be dust-free. I was also getting my walls and ceilings repainted in the same rooms, and Jerry was able to schedule his crew the very next day after the painters were done in order to keep the project moving along. He came in, took out the old carpet, leveled the floors from all the old staples, and then installed the oak flooring. He and his partner sanded the entire floor, filled in the cracks, and in the end was a smooth and level as it could be. And absolutely no dust! Jerry uses a cyclone-style dust separator on his sanding equipment that captures everything that the machine puts out. Backed with a smaller sander for the edges of the room that uses a HEPA filter, you simply don't generate any dust at all. Because I had hardwood in adjacent rooms, we needed to match the stain to the existing floors. At first we didn't seem to be on the same page, but after trying a mixture of 50% one stain and 50% another, we came up with a perfect match! In fact, people remark how close the two woods appear now that the new floor is installed. (And the old wood is 20 years old!) Jerry completed the work by applying three coats of sealer, and replacing all the heavy furniture that had to be out of the room. Great job!"

"The kitchen floor looks brand new. Andrei replaced cracked or damaged maple boards, sanded the floor so the entire floor was level and sealed it with water-base sealer with a beautiful matted finish. It looks great. The remainder of the home has the original stained oak floors. Through the years many boards cracked & become unstable. He patiently removed the damaged boards, replaced the oak boards, sanded the boards to the same level as the existing flooring. He mixed the stain to match the existing floor stain color and urethane entire floor. The floor is now uniform in color, the patch repairs are not visibly different to the existing flooring when walking into the rooms. I am so pleased of the work performed and Andrei took his time to do it the right way and listened to what we wanted done."

"Eco West Floors did a great job installing my vinyl floor. They were quick and did. high quality work."

"Fantastic, honest communication about options and what results I could expect. Really patient with my questions and did a great job keeping everything clean and being respectful of my home and pets. Very happy with the results of my floor repair/refinish. Would definitely recommend and use in the future."

"I had Adrian, the owner of MCraft, install wood on my second floor and I could not be more impressed with the experience. He was professional from start to finish. He took the time to explain the type of wood being used and walked us through the entire process. He even provided samples of the different stains we wanted to have on our floor, allowing us to choose the perfect color for our space. He was always punctual and when leaving ensured the area was clean. In moving our furniture prior to/ after the job he was always careful. Instead of hurrying through the sanding process he took his time. It was a time consuming process requiring many different levels of sanding and it was clear he was not trying to rush the job. I was so impressed with the results that I hired him again to refinish my first floor. If you are looking for a professional, reliable and skillful contractor do not hesitate to contact Adrian."

"I cannot say enough great things about Chris and the A Step Ahead Flooring team! From start to finish, the communication was outstanding. Chris kept me updated every step of the way and made the entire process seamless. Not only did they finish the project a full day ahead of schedule, but they went above and beyond to deliver exceptional service. The floors look absolutely stunning—better than I could have imagined. It’s clear that Chris and his team take immense pride in their work, and it shows in the incredible results. One detail that really stood out was how thoughtful Chris was when it snowed during the project, he shoveled some of my driveway! This level of care and consideration is rare to find. If you’re looking for a flooring team that delivers top-notch quality, unparalleled professionalism, and a personal touch, look no further than A Step Ahead Flooring. I highly recommend them!"
