What Our Customers Say About Us
Marcin L.
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!
Sylwester P.
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 About Hardwood Floor Installation and Repair
How long does hardwood floor installation typically take?
The time frame for hardwood floor installation depends on the size of the area and the type of hardwood being installed. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to a week. Factors like room preparation, removal of existing flooring, and the complexity of the project can affect the timeline. For example 1200 sqft home will usually take 3-4 days to properly install.
Can hardwood floors be installed over concrete?
Yes, hardwood floors can be installed over concrete, but it requires a moisture barrier glue like Bona Quantum or Mapei, and, often, a plywood sub-floor on top of the concrete needs to be screwed in to be able to install a real wood floor. Engineered hardwood is typically more suitable for concrete subfloors compared to solid hardwood.
What's the difference between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood, while engineered hardwood consists of a top layer of hardwood veneer attached to layers of plywood or other wood. Engineered hardwood is more stable and less susceptible to changes in humidity and temperature.
How do I maintain my hardwood floors?
Regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt and grit, occasional mopping with a damp (not wet) mop and a wood floor cleaner, and avoiding excessive moisture is key. Also, it's important to protect the floor from scratches by using felt pads under furniture and wiping quickly any spills.
Can scratches and dents be repaired on hardwood floors?
Yes, minor scratches and dents can often be repaired. For small scratches, touch-up kits or pens can be used. Sometimes sanding the affected area by hand and applying coats of finish helps, depending on the situation. If there are no deep scratches floors can be refreshed by buffing it and applying coats of finish. Deeper scratches and dents might require sanding and refinishing the affected area.
Are hardwood floors suitable for homes with pets?
Hardwood floors can be suitable for homes with pets, but it's important to choose a harder wood species, more resistant to scratches like oak wood with an acrylic type of finish applied to it. Also, keeping pets' nails trimmed and using mats or rugs in high-traffic areas can help reduce damage. As well as quick removal of any spills.
What is the best hardwood floor for high-moisture areas?
For high-moisture areas, engineered hardwood is often recommended as it handles humidity and temperature fluctuations better than solid hardwood. However, no hardwood floor is completely waterproof, so proper care should still be taken. For high humidity areas, I recommend LVP Flooring that is fully waterproof and nowadays you can choose from a wide range of flooring designs. Some look very realistic like wood.
Can existing hardwood floors be matched during a repair or partial replacement?
Matching existing hardwood can be challenging but is often possible. Factors such as wood species, age, original stain color, and type of used finish play a role. A skilled installation and floor refinishing company like Stand Up Flooring, can usually find a close match and blend it with the existing floor.
How much does hardwood floor installation and repair cost?
The cost varies widely depending on factors like the type of wood, the size of the area, and the complexity of the installation or repair. Generally, installation can range from $6 to $12 per square foot with materials, while repairs depend on the extent of the damage and the specific work required.
