Palatine Hardwood Refinishing and Sanding Services



You might be tired of seeing your hardwood floors looking damaged and dull after years of regular wear and tear. So, you take action by wanting to begin a Schaumburg hardwood floor refinishing project - taking whatever steps necessary for making your hardwoods look brand new again. But if you have limited experience with home improvement projects, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed and as if you do not know what to do first. But there's no need to feel lost! Here is a simple guide for refinishing hardwood floors and giving them that shiny and beautiful look back again. Follow these steps and guidelines, and you'll have a picture perfect hardwood floor before you know it!

First things first, you would need some materials to make this possible. The materials you will need are wide brooms, heavy and light sandpaper, gloves, rollers with long handles, floor wax, brushes, wood stain, rags, floor sanders and edger, shop vacuums and dust masks.

There are three main processes involved in wood floor refinishing. These include sanding the floor, staining the floor, and finally finishing the floor. In the first process, you should remove first all of he furniture, rugs, mats, etc. from the room with floors that you plan to refinish. Then after doing this, you must check the floor and see if there are any nails or other sharp objects protruding from the surface. Remove them right away, for they destroy the sandpaper sheet when you start to sand them.

If you need help with these issues, please give Chicagoland Pro a call today or email us directly!! We're actively accepting Hardwood Refinishing Projects Daily.

End Block Flooring: Palatine Hardwood Installation Services


Here's something in the unique category! Doubtful if many of us have ever seen this kind of Palatine hardwood floor pattern work. Leave it to anyone's imagination, end block flooring can offer a multitude of designs.

Chicagoland Pro can install these types of products for you. Products offered vary in four different thicknesses and glued to any proper subfloor. Following installation, sanding equipment is brought in much like traditional hardwood floors.

The appearance offers a busy look, but think about using them for border work or entry ways. If they're installed with solid 3/4" floors, other preparations will have to be considered to reach the same vertical height.
