Why Engineered Hardwood?
- Durability and Stability: Engineered hardwood is designed to resist humidity and temperature changes better than traditional hardwood, making it an excellent choice for a variety of indoor environments.
- Elegance of Hardwood: It offers the timeless elegance of hardwood, with a variety of finishes and styles to match any decor.
- Sustainable Choice: Many engineered wood products are more sustainable than traditional hardwood, aligning with modern eco-friendly standards.
- Less Mess: Engineered wood is usually prefinished and does not need to be sanded and stained. That shortens the process and reduces the total price by the cost of sanding, which you can apply to buy a better quality engineered wood. That is why it is also less messy.

Just had my hardwood floors refinished by Stand Up Flooring in my Mount Prospect home on Edward Street. The result is amazing – the floors look brand new! Quick, clean, and professional work. Big thanks to Stand Up Flooring for a job well done!

I recommend Stand Up Flooring. They did good quality job, Wojtek takes his time to refinish the floor well. He finished on time and without any issues. Overall good experience.
Mariola L.
A few years ago I had my floors redone by Stand Up Flooring in my Papillon Spa in Mount Prospect. The vinyl floor they installed still works perfectly for our needs and is very durable. I greatly appreciate the work that Wojciech did and I will always recommend him as a person to go to for floor restoration and installation.
Rafael D.
Recently hired Stand Up Flooring for a major update in my Hannover Park home, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Wojciech Puzniak and his team installed new floors on two levels, built a fresh set of stairs, and did some excellent sanding with a natural, water-based finish.
The project finished right on schedule, and they kept my house tidy throughout the process.
Greg H.
Wojteks work is superb!
Very Happy with the outcome could not have asked for more!
William D.
Excellent job! We had a little struggle with choosing the right stain color to match our cabinets and Wojtek has recommended us a good one. He even put the water base finish on the stain samples on the small part of our actual floor to help us envision it better. Great work!
Vince L.
Stand Up Flooring just finished a kitchen floor with 3 coats of Lobas. The price was right, dust was kept to a minimum, & most important the floor looks SPECTACULAR.
Sue P.
I am amazed at the change this made in my home! Our hardwood staircase had always been carpeted except for the edges. I was tired of the old look and wanted to have just wood. My husband started searching for a local, independently owned business and found Stand Up Flooring. Wajciech came out the next day and gave us estimates for sanding and refinishing the stairs and upstairs balcony and railing. He gave us the option of all wood finish or wood finish on steps and balcony and railing with white painted risers and spindles. We chose the latter and couldn’t be happier with the finished product. I feel like I have a beautiful new piece of furniture in my entry instead of just a functional way to get upstairs. Wojciech and his painter were perfectionists and tended to every detail. I highly recommend this company.
Hazem T.
I would recommend Stand Up Flooring to anyone that needs hardwood flooring work. His work is professional and timely. He even brought in a painter and a carpenter to take care of some builtin cabinets that had to be removed and repaired. 5 stars!

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
What is engineered hardwood flooring?
Engineered hardwood flooring consists of a real hardwood layer on top of a stable core, offering the look of solid hardwood with added stability against humidity and temperature changes.
How long does engineered hardwood last compared to solid hardwood?
Engineered hardwood can last almost as long as solid hardwood, typically around 20-30 years, and can be refinished up to 2 times depending on the thickness of the top veneer. That also depends on wear and tear, and how much you take care of your floors.
Do I need to move my furniture out, before installing engineered floor?
Yes, all furniture and other items need to be removed from the area before we start the restoration process. It would have to be done earlier before we start refinishing, as we need to plan our time accordingly. If you can't move it yourself for any reason, you'll have to hire someone to do it for you, however, in some cases, we are able to help with a few items, but not gonna move everything for you, unless you want us to delegate that work and find someone to do it. There is always room to talk about solutions.
Can engineered hardwood be installed over concrete?
Yes, engineered hardwood can be installed over concrete, making it a versatile choice for various home settings. Usually, it requires to use of a moisture mitigation system like moisture barrier glue. It will cost slightly more for installation.
How much engineered flooring is needed for a room?
Calculate the total square footage by multiplying the length and width of the room, then add 5-10% for wastage. Divide this total by the square footage per box of vinyl flooring to determine how many boxes to purchase.
Is engineered hardwood suitable for high-moisture areas?
While more stable than solid hardwood, it's still best to avoid installing engineered hardwood in areas with high moisture, like bathrooms, as often it is water resistant not waterproof. Unless you choose LifeProof engineered floor, the producer claims to be waterproof that costs at least $4 per square foot.
Can you install engineered plank over tile?
Yes, the engineered plank can be installed over the tile, provided the tile surface is even and well-adhered to the subfloor. It is recommended to glue down the floor while installing it on the tiles, as the result is very stable.
How much does engineered hardwood flooring installation cost?
Costs vary based on the type of engineered wood, installation method, and project complexity. It's generally more cost-effective than solid hardwood but more expensive than laminate or vinyl as it often needs to be glued down for better durability.
What if my engineered flooring gets damaged?
If engineered flooring gets scratched or damaged, it can be a bit tricky to fix. Sometimes, you can replace individual damaged planks. For engineered wood, repairs might need professional help since it's more complex, especially if the damage is extensive. In Stand Up Flooring, we can remove even a single plank and reinstall a new one on top, by gluing it back, as long as you have spare material or the engineered floor is not discontinued.
How much does it cost to install 1200sqft of engineered floor?
1200 square feet Vinyl Floor Installation study case:
If you need to install 1200sqft of the engineered floor and for example, in half of your home you have old flooring or carpet that you'd like to remove, the labor for floor installation and removing the old floor will cost you around $6000. To that price, you need to add $450 for installing quarter rounds in your home. That price doesn't include the stairs installation.
