 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Raul was great! His work is excellent and our floors, which he refinished, look amazing. His work is of the highest quality. He is an expert and it shows in his work. He was detail oriented, very clean, punctual and always responded quickly whenever we emailed or texted him.  He always listened to us and took our questions seriously.  Very respectful. And when I say there was almost no dust, I mean it!! He uses special equipment that really does the job.  I 100% recommend Raul!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RZR Hardwood Flooring did a fantastic job refinishing the hardwood floors in my home in Glenview. Raul gave the floors a beautiful natural finish using Bona products, and the results speak for themselves. From start to finish, the process was professional, tidy, and clearly communicated. Raul’s attention to detail really shows in the final result. Midway through the job, I also asked Raul to swap out the vents. Even though it fell outside the original scope, he took the extra time to walk me through the process and get it done right. I’d highly recommend RZR Hardwood Flooring to anyone in Glenview or nearby looking for quality hardwood floor refinishing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After purchasing our home, we originally hired RZR Hardwood Flooring to install new solid hardwood floors only on the first floor. However, after seeing the quality of the installation, craftsmanship, and professionalism throughout the project, we decided to continue with the stairs and the entire second floor as well. Raul helped us choose the right wood and guided us through the color selection process to achieve the exact look we wanted. The final stain color and finish turned out absolutely beautiful and completely transformed our home. The entire hardwood floor installation and refinishing process was clean, organized, and professionally managed from start to finish. We highly recommend RZR Hardwood Flooring for anyone looking for high-quality solid hardwood floor installation, custom stain colors, and exceptional craftsmanship.

Professional Hardwood Refinishing for Chicago Homes

From classic hardwood floors in established Chicago homes to floors ready for a completely new color and finish, RZR provides professional sanding and refinishing services throughout our Chicago service area.

What is hardwood floor refinishing?

Hardwood floor refinishing involves sanding the existing hardwood surface to remove the old finish and prepare the wood for a new color, sealer and protective finish system.

How do I know if my hardwood floors need refinishing?

Floors with significant wear, scratches, worn finish or areas where the appearance has deteriorated may be candidates for refinishing. The condition of the hardwood should be evaluated before determining the appropriate service.

Can you change the color of my hardwood floors?

Yes. Refinishing can provide an opportunity to change the appearance of existing hardwood through professional stain or Bona Chroma color options. The final result depends on factors including wood species, floor condition and the selected finishing system.

Can I keep the natural color of my hardwood?

Yes. A natural refinishing system can highlight the grain and character of the existing hardwood without applying a traditional stain. Sealer selection can also influence the final tone of the floor.

What is Bona Chroma?

Bona Chroma is a professional color option used as part of a hardwood floor finishing system. It provides additional possibilities for creating distinctive wood tones while maintaining visible grain and character.

How long does hardwood floor refinishing take?

Project duration depends on the size and condition of the floor, the selected color and the finishing system being applied. RZR reviews the project before work begins and provides scheduling information based on the specific floor.

When can furniture be placed back on a refinished floor?

Drying and curing requirements depend on the specific finish system used. RZR provides project-specific instructions for foot traffic, furniture placement and normal use after the final finish has been applied.
