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!

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.

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.

HARDWOOD FLOORING OPTIONS

The Right Installation Method Depends on the Floor

Hardwood flooring installation is not a one-size-fits-all process. The flooring product, subfloor, moisture conditions and manufacturer requirements determine the appropriate installation system.

Nail-Down Hardwood Flooring

Traditional solid hardwood installation is ideal for many wood subfloors. Boards are positioned according to the selected layout and mechanically fastened to the substrate.

  • 2¼" and 3¼" solid hardwood
  • ¾" unfinished hardwood
  • Random layout
  • Professional fastening

Engineered Glue-Down Flooring

Engineered hardwood can be installed using a manufacturer-approved adhesive system when the substrate and flooring specifications allow it.

  • Concrete and approved substrates
  • Glue-down installation
  • Manufacturer specifications followed
  • Substrate preparation is critical

Wide Hardwood Flooring

Wider boards require additional consideration because board width, movement and substrate conditions can affect long-term performance.

  • Glue-assist when required
  • Subfloor evaluation
  • Manufacturer requirements
  • Appropriate fastening strategy

Installation & Finishing

When unfinished hardwood is installed, the project can continue with professional sanding and finishing to create the final color, sheen and appearance.

  • On-site sanding
  • Stain and color options
  • Bona finishing systems
  • Final inspection
TECHNICAL APPROACH

Installation Starts Before the First Board

A successful hardwood floor installation begins with the conditions underneath the flooring. Before installation, the substrate, moisture, flatness and project requirements need to be evaluated.

Proper preparation helps reduce problems later and allows the flooring system to perform as intended.

Typical solid hardwood 2¼" – 3¼"
Common solid thickness ¾"
Primary installation Nail-Down
Engineered option Glue-Down
Layout Random
Standards NWFA Practices
CRAFTSMANSHIP

The Installation Is Part of the Finished Floor

Hardwood flooring is a permanent part of the home. Board alignment, transitions, perimeter details and the relationship between new and existing flooring all contribute to how the finished floor looks.

RZR Hardwood Flooring focuses on those details throughout the installation rather than treating them as corrections at the end.

“Excellence and perfection for your hardwood floor.”
