Prior to installation, all hardwood products need to be acclimated to the new environment for at least four or five days. That's why when you see open boxes and crates in your designated rooms you know it's time to prepare for the installation by putting all furniture and other objects away. Another important aspect to have in mind is what is going to happen with the old floor covering.Remember, if you're going to remove your old floors, do it at least one day prior to arrival of your hardwood to allow time for cleanup and floor preparation. If you think this is too much trouble, then your installers may remove your old flooring for you for an additional fee.

Refinishing
Report
Refinishing a hardwood floor costs roughly the same as purchasing a good quality rug or carpet needed to cover the floor. In fact, if you do it yourself, you might significantly cut down on costs, get rid of the hazards that a hard to clean carpet poses to you, and, most importantly, enjoy the hardwood flooring you have always envied in your friends' or relatives' houses.
Repairs
Report
Hardwood floors repairs are needed when your wood floors look a little dull or have spots where the wood has worn down. Although wood is durable, hardwood floors are subject to wear and tear just like almost every other flooring material. Whether they squeak when you walk over them or they look dull and dated, your hardwood can be brought back to life.
Staining
Report
Staining a hardwood floor properly pays off in having a beautiful finish and enduring protection. Staining and sealing hardwood floors the right way last for years and give you the peace of mind to focus on you life and not worry about your floor. Anyone who's tackled a hardwood floor staining job can tell you it's a mess, starting with the removal of the previous finish.
Stairs Railings
Report
Installing and maintaining hardwood stairs and railings is closer to being an art than a craft. You not only have to be aware of your options and what to keep in mind when planning for your staircase but you also need to know how to avoid planning mistakes that may compromise your desired design. In fact, the design of your stair will affect your railing layout options.
Sanding
Report
Sanding hardwood flooring is a job for the professionals simply because even if you've used a floor sander before, you could do more harm than good to your floors in no time at all. Before you can even begin to think about applying a new finish, you'll need to have your hardwood floor sanded down to the natural wood to remove the old finish and repair any scratches or grooves.

Mike and his company installed hardwood flooring for me and my father. For both jobs, they were excellent. Finished on time, were responsive, and very reasonable in meeting our demands. Extremely high quality of work and we are both very satisfied. Would definitely hire them again. Service: Wood floor installation

Mihai and his crew were incredibly professional, flexible with our moving target install date, and did amazing work. Flawless installation! If you are going to spend good money on flooring, you better invest in quality installation like Unique Flooring to make sure the final product comes out great! Highly recommended! - on time, on budget, no surprises, and the highest quality workmanship I have ever seen. Thank you Mihai!

I had a great experience with Michael and his team. Michael was communicative and knowledgeable about the latest and best sealants on the market. We had some wear on our 20-yr old red oak floors and took the opportunity get rid of the oil poly finish and go for a more natural looking water poly finish. I'm really happy with the results and highly recommend you contact Michael if your floors need a redo.

Michael and co did an outstanding job installing our wide plank flooring in a new construction townhouse. They worked hard and completed the job on time despite a tight timeline. They also capped two flights of pine stairs with oak and the end result looked great (at a major savings relative to what the developer wanted for oak treads). I would highly recommend them for any flooring installation or restoration job.

Mike and his team did a nice job with the floors in our condo. We changed old laminate to hard wood and Mike gave us good tips and suggestions. We are happy with the work and results. Condo was left clean after the job was done and team worked pretty quick. Will use again if need to change or upgrade flooring. Recommend!

Mike and his team did an excellent job. They were punctual, efficient, and took care to ensure the final result looked great. After a few months, we replaced our kitchen appliances. The dimensions were slightly different than our original ones. Mike and his team came out to do some touch ups free of cost. We'd definitely recommend Unique Hardwood Flooring.

I've worked with and hired Unique Hardwood Flooring on numerous projects. The company is always on time and well organized. The owner Mike is a true professional and really cares about the results of his work. Another thing I noticed is that has an experienced team that you can rely on. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for quality installation and refinishing services.

My wife & I have a few investment properties around Chicago. Michael and his crew are our go to hardwood experts. We've used him for a few refinish jobs, and just last week, we did our first install! Can't wait to put more of this wide-plank goodness throughout the rest of our place. #purzawood Michael & crew, are professional, timely and clean-up afterwards. He can handle any job, from a bedroom refinish, to a high-end install. We are always pleased with the final product. Thanks, Jared & Liz
