Refinish Your Old Wood Floors

With Top Industry Professionals in Chicago


Hardwood floors are a classic, timeless style in any home. Not only do they look beautiful, but they are low maintenance, easy to clean, long lasting and durable. When choosing to install flooring, hardwood is typically a solid choice that comes with many benefits.

Trusted Antique Hardwood Floor Restoration
From Footprints Floors

If you're moving into a home with older hardwood floors, you may find some scratches or wear on them that you want to fix. Even though this natural patina can have a beautiful look, it's still important to keep your hardwood looking good and well-maintained. A great way to do so is through floor refinishing.

Antique hardwood floor refinishing near you in Chicago doesn't have to be difficult. Although you can do it yourself, hiring professional restoration experts from Footprints Floors is a great way to ensure your timeless floors are taken care of and restored to their original glory.

Benefits Of Restoring Hardwood Floors


Over time, hardwood floors can tarnish and show their age. Replacing hardwood floors can be expensive, and your antique floors can become worth a lot if you take care of them. In that case, refinishing may be a better alternative to replacing your hardwood altogether.

Cost-Effective

Even if you hire professionals like Footprints Floors, refinishing hardwood floors typically ends up costing quite a bit less than installing new hardwood.

Increased Home Value

Solid wood floors are greatly appealing to potential buyers, and taking care of your floors with antique floor refinishing near you is a great way to preserve and add value to your home.

Increased Safety

Damaged floors aren't just an eyesore, they can also bring some big safety concerns. Splinters in the feet, for example, aren't comfortable and could get infected. Antique floors can also be uneven, which may lead to tripping or falls.

Ward Off Pests

Did you know the craters, small holes and crevices that can appear in hardwood floors are a bug's best friend? Termites, ants and decay can wreak havoc on your floors, but regularly refinishing them can seal off bugs and other issues.

Should I Replace or Refinish
My Hardwood Flooring?

When considering an antique hardwood flooring restoration, you may wonder if it's worth the hassle or just better to replace them with new floors altogether.

The decision is ultimately yours, and you can't really go wrong with either choice. Refinishing your floors, however, doesn't have to be the messy process many make it out to be. It also can be a more budget friendly option for those looking to give their existing flooring a sparking new finish.

What To Consider Before Restoring Hardwood Floors

Hardwood floor restoration can be a great way to elevate the look of your home. However, it shouldn't be attempted or done without adequate research and consideration. If you're thinking about going this route, consider the following factors:

Time


Refinishing your hardwood floors isn't a one-day project. After sanding your floors, you will also need to seal them. This sealer will need to be set for at least 24 hours before it's safe to put furniture back into the room. You might not be able to complete it in a day, but refinishing your floors is a doable weekend project if you plan it right.

Equipment


A professional grade sander will be needed for your refinishing project. It's probably not an item you'll want to buy just for a one-time use. Many hardware stores rent these out, or you can contact professionals like those at Footprints Floors to do all the work and have the equipment you need.

Cost


The cost of refinishing hardwood is dependent on a few factors, including the size of the room and sealer needed. For the average cost of a wood floor to be refinished by professionals, it's always best to get a quote to better understand your project.

What Our Customers Say

Before speaking to Kyle at Footprints I thought it was important for me to speak directly with a subcontractor who would personally be performing the floor installation themselves. In doing so it wasn’t clear that these other contractors really heard or would ultimately act on what I was saying, or whether they really cared, often hearing the common refrain “no problem.” Kyle was very effective at listening to and addressing my concerns throughout the entire process and then successfully passing the information and my concerns on to Rudy and Riamundo who followed through on those details during the installation. Effective communication, listening, understanding and follow through are paramount qualities, abilities and skills to possess and employ in order to translate the many details of the job into a quality, thorough execution of the installation. These qualities are not always easily found. I was out of town for much of the process and had to handle details remotely, by phone and text, making these qualities all the more important to my circumstance. Kyle and Footprints was extremely responsive to my phone calls, texts, concerns and needs and they made themselves available in a very validating, accommodating and prompt manner, directly addressing my concerns with excellent listening, communication and follow through skills that turned my vision into a fabulous result. Kyle will answer all of your questions; respond promptly, clearly, honestly, and concisely. He listens and follows through on the detailed execution. He will allow you to be as involved in the process as much as you care to be or take on matters independently. He stands behind his work and will not disappear. At least that was my positive experience. There exists the art and skill and craftsmanship of a Quality Installation as much as there exists the art and skill and relationship skills of Quality Customer Service. Kyle Battles and Footprints possess both. Many Thumbs Up !!!

We recently had our hardwood floors refinished and Kyle and his team did a WONDERFUL job! They were responsive, professional, clean, fair on pricing, and efficient. After an awful experience with a previous flooring company, Footprints Floors was able to come in and restore our floors. Highly recommend!
Jennifer Oyola 04/5/24 — google
We couldn't be happier with the hardwood flooring refinishing job completed by Footprints Floors Chicago! From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, courtesy, and exceptional skill. Our tired floors were transformed into stunning works of art, exceeding our expectations in every way. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the quality of work was outstanding. Throughout the process, communication with the owner Kyle was seamless; he promptly addressed all our questions and concerns. To top it off, Kyle's team completed the job a day earlier than expected! Highly recommend Footprints Floors Chicago for anyone seeking top-notch hardwood flooring services!

Jason Cummins 03/4/24 — google
Kyle and team did incredible work! Our whole process from quote to dry beautiful floors was about a week, they made my hardwood maple shine again and made the whole process easy and smooth. I will be recommending them to anyone in my network who needs their floors redone going forward. Thanks so much guys!! Photos show the transformation from old to new in the same area of floor :)

Kyle and the team at Footprints Floors were truly wonderful to work with. From the quote to install, service was above and beyond. I had braced for a multi-day project, but to my delight the bulk of the work was completed in a single day. Our basement playroom has now been converted into a gym with a functional rubber floor, and we couldn't be happier with the result!
Hillary Gurber 02/20/24 — google
Excellent company. Beautiful work laying a tile floor in our kitchen in between other remodeling work being done. Very accommodating on scheduling. Efficient and very clean. Estimate = Final price. Highly recommend!
Jean Marie Koon 02/16/24 — google
Kyle and his crew committed to the job on a fairly tight schedule and took care of everything in a first-rate manner. The work is beautiful, and the experience was as low-stress as you could want. They even had a terrific playlist!
Robert Koon 01/30/24 — google
Excellent service from estimate through to project finish. We were communicated with the whole way, we had one or two odd requests that were accommodated with ease, and the end result looks great!

kyle did an awesome job from start to finish. his team did my floors while i was on vacation and out of the house. they moved my furniture and put it back where it was (added cost but worth it). he kept me updated through the whole process and my floors and stairs look amazing!! and the cost was very reasonable. highly recommend.
Tofer Mishler 01/11/24 — google
Footprints Floors Chicago (FFC) did an excellent job refinishing a bedroom, stair treads and landings. FFC also replaced damaged floor boards in our 1920s era house and expertly matched the existing pine floor boards. We were greatly appreciative of how easy it was to work with FFC as they scheduled our job around the scheduling needs of our family. FFC were timely, efficient and did a great job with minimizing the dust from a very messy job. We will call on FFC when we are ready to tackle our next flooring related project effort.

Just worked with Kyle on flooring for our basement. Common sense pricing, very professional, flexible and responsive communicator, and high quality work.
Daniel Orbach 12/8/23 — google
Communicative, responsible and efficient. We had a great experience (we put luxury tile that looks like hardwood installed in our basement) and highly recommend.
Sandra Jaggi 12/4/23 — google
Kyle at Footprints has done work for me twice in two different homes. His work is fast and excellent. He is wonderful at communicating and responding and if I ever need more flooring I can’t imagine hiring anyone else.
Chris Burgess 11/30/23 — google
Excellent work. Tomasz was able to come in and fix all of the tile which was removed after a sump pump installation. I heartily recommend!

Kyle was so easy to work with and we couldn’t be more satisfied with our new kitchen hardwood floor. He and his crew were able to get the demo and installation completed while we were out of town for a long wedding weekend. Kyle was in contact with us every step of the way, texting photos to ensure everything was meeting our expectations. We came home to a gorgeous new finished floor. We would highly recommend Kyle and Footprint Floors!
Carla Weil 11/16/23 — google
Working with Kyle and David and crew was amazing. They were very responsive, communicative, reliable and did a fantastic job! The floors look amazing, I would highly recommend!
El Ge 11/4/23 — google
I had the pleasure of working with Kyle and Tomasz on a complete renovation of the tile in my guest bathroom. Even though I had to wait a few months to get the project started, Kyle was responsive and kept the quote the same. Once the project got started, Tomasz was the utmost professional! He worked day in and day out to get the job done in a week as promised, and I couldn't be happier with the finished product! My bathroom went from the 90s with Ikea fixtures to the beautiful modern traditional bathroom that fit my aesthetic. I can't thank them enough for all their hard work and will definitely recommend them/hopefully work with them in the future!
