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.

Used Footprint Floors to have our backsplash installed. Had a wonderful experience with Kyle and his craftsman Tomacz. They took great care and the final product turned out exactly as we would have hoped. Highly recommend.
Michael Temple 10/8/24 — google
I wanted a flooring company to install Karndean Glue-down LVP in my kitchen so I got quotes from a couple different companies. I decided to go with Footprints Floors for three reasons: the quote was lower than the other company; they got great reviews online; and Kyle, the owner, seemed extremely knowledgeable about glue-down LVP installations. It also helped that he was very responsive whenever I had any questions. In the end, Kyle's team did an amazing job preparing and installing the plywood underlayment, filling in huge gaps in the subfloor, installing the LVP, and making the transition pieces. My expectations are pretty high when it comes to quality of work, and if anything didn't look right, I would have asked for it to be redone. The good news is that the installation was perfect! I plan to use them again for my basement floor (when the time comes).
Lyle Kay 09/27/24 — google
We needed 117-year-old floors refinished and restored and the result is amazing. Pawel is an artist, and was able to get problem areas fixed, repair some areas, and do it all with care, precision and expert craftsmanship. Kyle the owner is easy to work with and helpful with great advice. It’s not cheap to refinish floors, but this was totally worth it!
Tom W 09/27/24 — google
One of the most important things when working with a company that has to do repairs/replacements at your home is their ability to communicate. Kyle was outstanding in this regard with my floor replacement. He kept me informed at every step of the process, answering all my questions promptly and clearly. He understood the process of working with the insurance company and helped to provide everything they requested. He provided samples and quality insight into the flooring options that would be beneficial to a growing family. Tomas, the person who worked on the floor, did an excellent job, demonstrating skill and attention to detail. He was also very respectful of my home. Overall, Footprints Floors exceeded my expectations with their dedication to customer satisfaction and high-quality work.
BOB SAGGET 09/24/24 — google
Kyle and his team were great to work with. Very professional and helpful, told me what material to buy and how much of each, and answered my questions every step of the way. Our new kitchen floor looks great!

Kyle and Footprints Floors did an amazing job restoring our hardwood floors in our Bucktown home after years of wear and tear. Kyle was great to work with as well. He is punctual, personable, provided a quick and fair quote, and his craftsmanship was impeccable - our floors truly looked brand new after he finished them. I highly recommend working with Kyle and Footprints Floors if you are in need of floor refinishing!

Ali Galloway 08/13/24 — google
Kyle & his team assisted us with re purposing our hard wood floors, and installed a beautiful backsplash for us. The work is stellar and would recommend to anyone.
Michael Nolan 08/5/24 — google
I’m so happy with my experience with Footprints Floors. Kyle was very responsive and helped me plan a large hardwood floor and intricate mosaic tile floor refinish in a short window between closing on home and my move-in. The floors were done on time and at a very fair cost. Hugo is very talented and his attention to detail with his work shows. I will reach out again for all of my future floor jobs.
Andrew Knapp 07/30/24 — google
Footprints Flooring is amazing. Kyle responded to our request for a quote immediately and when he visited, he also saved us a significant amount of money by pointing out that we had been over sold by our flooring dealer. When it came to installation, Kenni, who was our installer, provided excellent service. He was reliable and paid a lot of attention to detail. He also was careful in his use of materials so that in the end we had 3 boxes of flooring and extra sound barrier to return to the dealer for refund. As to price, Footprints is great value for money, the bid was reasonable and was exactly as promised. The finished floor looks great and I can only recommend this company as one of the best home improvement companies that it has been my pleasure to work with!
