What affects the price

The final amount for your new floors depends on a few specific things. First, it comes down to the material you choose, whether that is hardwood, luxury vinyl, or carpet. The size of the area being covered and how much prep work the subfloor needs will also play a role. If your rooms have complex layouts or lots of corners, that often adds labor time. Every home is unique, so we help you get an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

If your existing wood floors have scratches, dull spots, or signs of heavy wear, refinishing is the solution. We sand down the top layer to remove surface damage and apply a fresh coat of stain or sealant to restore the natural beauty of the wood. This process is much more affordable than a full replacement and brings life back to older floors. You should look into this when the wood underneath is still in good shape but the surface has lost its luster.

Frequently asked in Chicago

What is the best flooring for the money in Chicago?

For budget-friendly options in Chicago, consider laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). They offer durability and a wood-like appearance at a lower cost, perfect for Chicago's climate and busy lifestyles. These are great alternatives to traditional hardwood. Call for a free quote to compare.

What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?

The 1-3 rule in flooring typically refers to expansion gaps for wood, suggesting about 1 inch for every 3 feet of width. This is important in Chicago's variable humidity to prevent planks from buckling or lifting. Pros ensure proper installation for longevity. Get a free estimate for advice.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank (LVP) is generally more water-resistant, making it ideal for kitchens and basements in Chicago homes. Laminate can offer a more authentic wood look and is often less expensive. Both are good choices for durability. A free quote can help you decide.
