01 / PREPARATION

Proper Floor & Subfloor Preparation

Before installation or restoration begins, we evaluate the existing flooring and jobsite conditions. Subfloor flatness, moisture conditions and the condition of the hardwood are considered before selecting the appropriate process.

02 / INSTALLATION

Precise Layout & Installation

Hardwood installation requires more than fastening boards to the floor. Board selection, natural random layout, proper staggering and installation technique all contribute to a hardwood floor that looks intentional and professionally built.

03 / SANDING

Professional Sanding Systems

Our sanding process uses professional Bona equipment, including advanced multidisc sanding technology, to create a smooth and consistent surface while helping reduce visible sanding imperfections.

04 / DUST CONTROL

Professional Dust Containment

Sanding hardwood floors creates significant fine dust. Professional dust-containment equipment helps capture dust at the source, creating a cleaner working environment and reducing the amount of airborne sanding dust inside the home.

05 / FINISHING

Premium Bona Finishing Systems

From natural hardwood tones to custom stains and modern finishes, RZR uses professional Bona sealers, stains and finishes selected according to the desired appearance and performance of the floor.

06 / STANDARDS

Professional Hardwood Flooring Practices

Our installation and refinishing procedures follow recognized hardwood flooring practices, with attention to jobsite conditions, moisture, preparation and methods consistent with professional industry standards.

 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.

Have a hardwood flooring project in Chicago?

Contact RZR Hardwood Flooring to confirm service availability for your neighborhood and discuss your installation, refinishing or hardwood floor repair project.

Should I refinish my hardwood floors or replace them?

It depends on the condition of the existing hardwood. Floors with surface wear, scratches or an outdated color may be good candidates for refinishing. Floors with extensive damage, structural issues or areas where hardwood is missing may require repair or new installation. RZR evaluates the floor before recommending the appropriate solution.

Can damaged hardwood flooring be repaired without replacing the entire floor?

In many cases, yes. Individual damaged boards or sections can often be removed and replaced using professional lace-in or weave-in techniques. The goal is to integrate the replacement hardwood naturally into the existing floor rather than creating an obvious rectangular patch.

What is the difference between refinishing and buff & coat?

Refinishing removes the existing finish through sanding before a new finishing system is applied. Buff and coat is a maintenance process for floors that do not require complete sanding. The existing surface is prepared and a new compatible protective topcoat is applied.

Can I change the color of my hardwood floors when they are refinished?

Yes. Depending on the wood species and condition of the floor, refinishing can provide opportunities to keep a natural appearance or select a different stain or color system. RZR works with professional Bona stains, sealers and finishing systems to create different hardwood floor appearances.

How do you control dust when sanding hardwood floors?

RZR uses professional sanding equipment with dust containment designed to capture sanding dust at the source. This significantly reduces airborne sanding dust and helps maintain a cleaner working environment during the refinishing process.

What type of hardwood flooring can RZR install?

RZR works with hardwood flooring systems including unfinished solid hardwood and compatible prefinished or engineered hardwood products. The installation method depends on the flooring product, board width, subfloor and jobsite conditions.

Why does subfloor preparation matter before hardwood installation?

The subfloor provides the foundation for the finished hardwood floor. Flatness, moisture conditions and overall stability can affect installation quality and long-term performance, which is why these conditions should be evaluated before hardwood flooring is installed.

Do you provide hardwood flooring services throughout Chicago?

RZR Hardwood Flooring serves residential hardwood flooring projects in Chicago and surrounding Chicagoland communities. Project availability depends on the location, scope of work and current scheduling.
