Get matched with top floor sanding pros in River Forest, 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."

"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!"

"I needed to have a scuffed and scratched oak dining room floor sanded and sealed. Jose and assistant George arrived at 8:10 a.m. Monday and started sanding 30 minutes later after high powered vacuuming. The sanding took about two hours. After that, three coats of sealer, with about 1/2 an hour of drying time between coats. The floor is beautiful. We could walk on it last night (wearing socks) and can put the furniture back tomorrow. Jose is the best!"

"Incredible job! Jerry and his team turned my entire first floor of old, light colored maple into something out of a magazine! They meticulously worked to strip, sand, level, and fill the entire floor to perfection. Preparation is the entire key to the job. Then, they darkened the wood to our perfect color and put on several coats of top quality sealer. The floors look absolutely amazing! One of the most notable things is that there is literally zero dust. Jerry uses top of the light HEPA filter sanding equipment. It captures literally all of the dust. Even with this equipment, I expected to find some dust, but there was none. Not on the windowsills, none anywhere. Finally, here’s what really matters. Jerry is a perfectionist. His standards for the work are far above most homeowners. He sees the smallest of flaws and makes sure his work is literally perfect. I’m a pretty tough person to please, and I can’t say enough about how good of a job they did. The hardwood floors are seen by everybody that walks into my house, so I wanted the very best, and I got it with Jerry’s!"

"Kals did an amazing job. Alex was very accommodating and considerate with fitting our schedule and budget. He and his team are highly skilled and proficient. My floors were a disaster prior to Kals flooring, now they are beautiful."

"To start, I want to let you know that I haven't worked with a better contractor than Adrian. He is upfront, communicates very well and makes conservative assumptions so there are no surprises. Even after the job was completed, he came back to fix other contractor's mistakes with no charges. Expensive but well worth the cost. We had damage in one bedroom on 2nd floor and front entryway from Ice Dam leakage into house from roof. Damage looked contained but because we have continuous wood floors on both levels, I was told by several contractors that complete floor on both levels would need to be sanded and refinished. Adrian responded very quickly to my call but indicated that if I needed to get the job done quickly, we should pass on his company since they were backlogged. I had read his reviews and they were uniformly great compared to others so I requested he come out and prepare a bid. He was very knowledgeable and explained the issues well and how they would go the job and recommended using a Bona Hardwood Water sealer vs an oil sealant and why. His bid was about 40% more expensive than the two other vendors I had asked for bids from but he did not request any money up front and he guaranteed 100% satisfaction with no caveats on chatter marks, waves, swirl marks, etc. The other 2 vendors said they couldn't guarantee against chatter or swirl marks and wanted 50 - 60% as a deposit and further deposits as work progressed with only 10% withheld for final completion. The time Adrian estimated was about twice the length of time that the other vendors estimated and he explained that with the amount of work and all the labor issues associated with the pandemic he couldn't promise to get it done faster. All the vendors I spoke with said it was a big job and if we could live with it and get the insurance company to pay for it later, we would be better off covering up damaged areas and repairing floors once we move out of house to sell it. Unfortunately insurance would only pay depreciated value of floors if we wanted to wait while they would cover 100% if we did the repairs within the year. The earliest day to get it repaired was about 6 months later or the next would have been 9 months later. We chose to get it done at the start of October. Adrian told us we would need to be out of house for about a month but he moved up timeline after a week to say he would get it done in 3 weeks. After we got our painters to agree to move up their timeline and only 3-4 days after he said he would be complete in 3 weeks, he completed job in a little over 2 weeks. Unfortunately we couldn't move up painters. If there was any quibble it would be with the fact that having a better timeline would have allowed us to be out of our house for less than the 6 weeks it eventually took. However it didn't take any longer which is what our insurance company told us to expect. After job was finished, Adrian told us to be careful for first several weeks using just socks in the house and using masonite to protect floors anytime we were moving things or placing things down. When I mentioned moving company personnel had said their masonite was all scratched up, he went and bought several sheets for me to provide movers. We noticed some issues with smoothness of the floors on the steps after a week and he agreed that it was not up to standards and he came and worked over weekend to fix stairs so we could have painters start on time. About 3 weeks after we moved back in we had HVAC vent cleaners in to clean vents as we had heard that it was typically needed - the HVAC guys said our vents were just normal for 20 years of not cleaning and very little caused by the sanding. However the HVAC guys dropped a vent cover gouging the floor in the main level. We called Adrian thinking it would be a big job to fix, he was able to patch with some wax (for free) and said they could replace board and do another coat of sealant if the HVAC insurance would pay for it otherwise he recommended we live with it since life happens."

"The end job was excellent.  They came every day, stayed all day until the job was finished.  We are very happy with the finished product.  However, they did not return calls promptly and were going to leave the job unfinished.  By unfinished I mean they were going to leave without properly  installing all the shoe  molding.  They were going to leave a putty joint between the floor and baseboard showing.  They also charged us for the additional shoe molding which we believed was included in the original price. I do
recommend them justmake sure you include everything you want  written in the contract."

"Daniel understood we had a very tight timeline to complete the refinishing of our floors and he and his team responded appropriately. They arrived early every morning and scheduled there work so they could return to apply more than one coat of stain a day. The floor, which was installed in 1980 was refinished perfectly. It looks better than new. The team from DAC Flooring was professional, courteous and skillful and we're already looking forward to our next project with them."

"Greg and his team did a wonderful job refinishing the floors in our home which are original from 1928! I was not sure what to expect with the floors being nearly 100 years old, but they look fantastic!"
