Premier Hardwood Floor Installation

From Top Industry Professionals in Chicago


Beautiful and long lasting, hardwood floors are a timeless choice for any room in your home. From your entryway to your kitchen, stairs, or bedroom, Footprints Floors will be there to help you every step of the way. Our hardwood flooring installers in Chicago take care of installation and stain selection. Having your floors installed by a hardwood/solid wood craftsman means that your floors will look amazing and leave a lasting impression.

Hardwood flooring installation is always a smart move as it never goes out of style and will increase the overall value of your home. Hardwood flooring is durable, long-lasting, and (if needed in future decades) can be fully restored to its original splendor. Improvements in technology over the years have increased the durability and quality of hardwoods so that they will last for generations to come.

Benefits of Hardwood Floors

Increases Property Value


Flooring is a key design element in every home. Durable, clean, and beautiful, wood is a preferred flooring choice for homeowners. Whether you are a new homeowner looking to update old flooring or preparing your current home for sale, installing hardwood flooring increases your property's value.

Hardwood is one of the most popular flooring materials. According to the National Wood Flooring Association, realtors find homes with hardwood floors sell faster at higher price points. The timeless beauty and durability of hardwood are attractive to buyers, making hardwood a great choice for presale renovations.

Clean


Hardwood floors are one of the most sanitary flooring choices. Carpet, in comparison, traps in dust, dirt, and bacteria, and requires professional cleaning. While tile and laminate don’t have dust-trapping fibers, bacteria can still become trapped in the grout or embossing.

Families with children or pets will benefit from wood floors. Allergy sufferers will also appreciate the cleaner air quality that this material provides.

BeautifulVariety of Patterns


While every material has its draw, hardwood, in particular, is timeless. The intricate grains, rich colors, and unique textures of wood create endless design possibilities. As a versatile material, wood flooring does well with classic, modern, and eclectic home decor. Designers say that hardwood makes rooms appear larger, warmer, and inviting. What more could you ask of a flooring material?

Diagonal

Typically, hardwood flooring is installed parallel to the longest wall. Diagonal installation is an alternative pattern that is a great choice for smaller rooms. The diagonal boards draw the eyes towards the corners and away from the walls, elongating the room.

Picture Frame

A great statement piece, picture frame designs in wood flooring are perfect for elegant dining rooms. Picture frame designs are made with contrasting color wood planks, placed in geometric shape (usually rectangle) around the desired room feature.

Parquet

Parquet patterns are geometric shapes made out of smaller pieces of wood that all fit together smoothly. This historical design was popular in homes built in the early 1900s. This intricate, sophisticated design is making a big comeback!

Random Widths

Wood planks of varying widths and lengths placed randomly add depth and length to a room, making it a great casual option for smaller spaces.

Durable


Compared to other flooring materials, hardwood is durable. Tile can crack, carpet stains, and laminate scratches easily. Hardwood, on the other hand, can withstand pets, children, and more for decades. While scratching can occur, hardwood floor refinishing can restore old floors to brand new.

The biggest benefit of hardwood floor installation is longevity. This is a flooring material that will last a century or more if properly maintained.

Low Maintenance


Though hardwood is durable, it is not impervious to damage. Faded finishes, scratches, and dents are all signs of a well-loved hardwood floor. With proper maintenance, these imperfections rarely show until decades after installation. And, when they do appear, restoration and repair will breathe new life into your floors.

A daily sweep and frequent mopping with a special hardwood cleaner are all that are needed to maintain your hardwood floors.

Hardwood Floor Installation Process


When you hire professionals for hardwood floor installation in Chicago, it is important to understand their entire process. While some companies refuse to do prep work and cleanup, Footprints Floors provides full service. After discussing square footage, pricing estimates, and other details with your flooring professional, our team follows these installation steps.

Acclimation

Before wood planks are installed, they must acclimate to the moisture levels present in your home. Skipping this step causes expansion or shrinkage and other damage to newly installed floors. The acclimation process is simple: store your purchased wood planks inside your home for up to three days.

Tear Out And Subfloor Prep

Our team starts with the tear-out of your old floor, installs new subflooring, and prepares for installation. We practice heightened safety measures, ensuring no dust or harmful substances escape into your home’s atmosphere.

Installation

Our team of expert craftsmen provides special care and performs the installation diligently and efficiently, laying down your hardwood flooring plank by plank. Next, your new floor is buffed, stained, and sealed to your desired finish.

Clean Up

After the installation process is complete, the crew will clean up after themselves, leaving your home just as it was when they got there. You can expect our flooring contractors to treat you and your home with respect. For expert flooring services and quality customer care, you can count on Footprints Floors Chicago.

Beauty in Imperfection


Most hardwood floors receive protective finishes to avoid the effects of wear and tear. However, you may finish your hardwood installation in Chicago and wonder if it's necessary to cover your stunning new natural wood with finishing products. The good news is, it's entirely up to you!

The imperfections in raw wood floors are often what makes them so unique and eye-catching. Wood stains and sealants can smooth out glaring blemishes, but applying a finishing product is not necessary. Unfinished hardwood flooring is highly durable and requires only slightly different maintenance from a finished floor to avoid unnecessary water damage. Without a sealant, your hardwood will experience the beauty of age and daily use. Scratches and dents can be so much more than flaws! Unfinished wood showcases your family's history and brings your space a new sense of character. As the world grows more obsessed with the idea of perfection, unfinished hardwood is a lovely way to embrace and enhance the personality of your space. If you see and value the beauty in imperfection, allow your house to feel more like a home that has been loved and lived in with raw wood flooring.

If you want to add raw hardwood floors to your home and have been searching for hardwood installation in Chicago, look no further! Footprints Floors has the hardwood expertise you need. Our hardwood flooring installers supervise every aspect of installation so you can be confident that your home is in expert hands. By the end of your installation, your raw hardwood floors will be the jewel of your home and will last the test of time. Give us a call today to receive a free estimate on your project!

I worked with Footprints to refinish hardwood floors in my condo. Kyle's team did great work. They moved fast, and the results were exactly what I hoped for. Can't recommend them enough.

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

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!

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.

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!

Unemployed Bartender 11/18/23 — google
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!
darcy fisher 10/31/23 — google
Kyle, the owner, was very helpful throughout the process and was very knowledgeable about anything and everything related to flooring. I’m thrilled with how my floors turned out and I highly recommend Footprints.
