Premier Hardwood Floor Installation

From Top Industry Professionals in Chicago


Beautiful and long lasting, hardwood floors are a timeless choice for any room in your home. From your entryway to your kitchen, stairs, or bedroom, Footprints Floors will be there to help you every step of the way. Our hardwood flooring installers in Chicago take care of installation and stain selection. Having your floors installed by a hardwood/solid wood craftsman means that your floors will look amazing and leave a lasting impression.

Hardwood flooring installation is always a smart move as it never goes out of style and will increase the overall value of your home. Hardwood flooring is durable, long-lasting, and (if needed in future decades) can be fully restored to its original splendor. Improvements in technology over the years have increased the durability and quality of hardwoods so that they will last for generations to come.

Benefits of Hardwood Floors

Increases Property Value


Flooring is a key design element in every home. Durable, clean, and beautiful, wood is a preferred flooring choice for homeowners. Whether you are a new homeowner looking to update old flooring or preparing your current home for sale, installing hardwood flooring increases your property's value.

Hardwood is one of the most popular flooring materials. According to the National Wood Flooring Association, realtors find homes with hardwood floors sell faster at higher price points. The timeless beauty and durability of hardwood are attractive to buyers, making hardwood a great choice for presale renovations.

Clean


Hardwood floors are one of the most sanitary flooring choices. Carpet, in comparison, traps in dust, dirt, and bacteria, and requires professional cleaning. While tile and laminate don’t have dust-trapping fibers, bacteria can still become trapped in the grout or embossing.

Families with children or pets will benefit from wood floors. Allergy sufferers will also appreciate the cleaner air quality that this material provides.

BeautifulVariety of Patterns


While every material has its draw, hardwood, in particular, is timeless. The intricate grains, rich colors, and unique textures of wood create endless design possibilities. As a versatile material, wood flooring does well with classic, modern, and eclectic home decor. Designers say that hardwood makes rooms appear larger, warmer, and inviting. What more could you ask of a flooring material?

Diagonal

Typically, hardwood flooring is installed parallel to the longest wall. Diagonal installation is an alternative pattern that is a great choice for smaller rooms. The diagonal boards draw the eyes towards the corners and away from the walls, elongating the room.

Picture Frame

A great statement piece, picture frame designs in wood flooring are perfect for elegant dining rooms. Picture frame designs are made with contrasting color wood planks, placed in geometric shape (usually rectangle) around the desired room feature.

Parquet

Parquet patterns are geometric shapes made out of smaller pieces of wood that all fit together smoothly. This historical design was popular in homes built in the early 1900s. This intricate, sophisticated design is making a big comeback!

Random Widths

Wood planks of varying widths and lengths placed randomly add depth and length to a room, making it a great casual option for smaller spaces.

Durable


Compared to other flooring materials, hardwood is durable. Tile can crack, carpet stains, and laminate scratches easily. Hardwood, on the other hand, can withstand pets, children, and more for decades. While scratching can occur, hardwood floor refinishing can restore old floors to brand new.

The biggest benefit of hardwood floor installation is longevity. This is a flooring material that will last a century or more if properly maintained.

Low Maintenance


Though hardwood is durable, it is not impervious to damage. Faded finishes, scratches, and dents are all signs of a well-loved hardwood floor. With proper maintenance, these imperfections rarely show until decades after installation. And, when they do appear, restoration and repair will breathe new life into your floors.

A daily sweep and frequent mopping with a special hardwood cleaner are all that are needed to maintain your hardwood floors.

Hardwood Floor Installation Process


When you hire professionals for hardwood floor installation in Chicago, it is important to understand their entire process. While some companies refuse to do prep work and cleanup, Footprints Floors provides full service. After discussing square footage, pricing estimates, and other details with your flooring professional, our team follows these installation steps.

Acclimation

Before wood planks are installed, they must acclimate to the moisture levels present in your home. Skipping this step causes expansion or shrinkage and other damage to newly installed floors. The acclimation process is simple: store your purchased wood planks inside your home for up to three days.

Tear Out And Subfloor Prep

Our team starts with the tear-out of your old floor, installs new subflooring, and prepares for installation. We practice heightened safety measures, ensuring no dust or harmful substances escape into your home’s atmosphere.

Installation

Our team of expert craftsmen provides special care and performs the installation diligently and efficiently, laying down your hardwood flooring plank by plank. Next, your new floor is buffed, stained, and sealed to your desired finish.

Clean Up

After the installation process is complete, the crew will clean up after themselves, leaving your home just as it was when they got there. You can expect our flooring contractors to treat you and your home with respect. For expert flooring services and quality customer care, you can count on Footprints Floors Chicago.

Beauty in Imperfection


Most hardwood floors receive protective finishes to avoid the effects of wear and tear. However, you may finish your hardwood installation in Chicago and wonder if it's necessary to cover your stunning new natural wood with finishing products. The good news is, it's entirely up to you!

The imperfections in raw wood floors are often what makes them so unique and eye-catching. Wood stains and sealants can smooth out glaring blemishes, but applying a finishing product is not necessary. Unfinished hardwood flooring is highly durable and requires only slightly different maintenance from a finished floor to avoid unnecessary water damage. Without a sealant, your hardwood will experience the beauty of age and daily use. Scratches and dents can be so much more than flaws! Unfinished wood showcases your family's history and brings your space a new sense of character. As the world grows more obsessed with the idea of perfection, unfinished hardwood is a lovely way to embrace and enhance the personality of your space. If you see and value the beauty in imperfection, allow your house to feel more like a home that has been loved and lived in with raw wood flooring.

If you want to add raw hardwood floors to your home and have been searching for hardwood installation in Chicago, look no further! Footprints Floors has the hardwood expertise you need. Our hardwood flooring installers supervise every aspect of installation so you can be confident that your home is in expert hands. By the end of your installation, your raw hardwood floors will be the jewel of your home and will last the test of time. Give us a call today to receive a free estimate on your project!

Used Footprint Floors to have our backsplash installed. Had a wonderful experience with Kyle and his craftsman Tomacz. They took great care and the final product turned out exactly as we would have hoped. Highly recommend.
Michael Temple 10/8/24 — google
I wanted a flooring company to install Karndean Glue-down LVP in my kitchen so I got quotes from a couple different companies. I decided to go with Footprints Floors for three reasons: the quote was lower than the other company; they got great reviews online; and Kyle, the owner, seemed extremely knowledgeable about glue-down LVP installations. It also helped that he was very responsive whenever I had any questions. In the end, Kyle's team did an amazing job preparing and installing the plywood underlayment, filling in huge gaps in the subfloor, installing the LVP, and making the transition pieces. My expectations are pretty high when it comes to quality of work, and if anything didn't look right, I would have asked for it to be redone. The good news is that the installation was perfect! I plan to use them again for my basement floor (when the time comes).
Lyle Kay 09/27/24 — google
We needed 117-year-old floors refinished and restored and the result is amazing. Pawel is an artist, and was able to get problem areas fixed, repair some areas, and do it all with care, precision and expert craftsmanship. Kyle the owner is easy to work with and helpful with great advice. It’s not cheap to refinish floors, but this was totally worth it!
Tom W 09/27/24 — google
One of the most important things when working with a company that has to do repairs/replacements at your home is their ability to communicate. Kyle was outstanding in this regard with my floor replacement. He kept me informed at every step of the process, answering all my questions promptly and clearly. He understood the process of working with the insurance company and helped to provide everything they requested. He provided samples and quality insight into the flooring options that would be beneficial to a growing family. Tomas, the person who worked on the floor, did an excellent job, demonstrating skill and attention to detail. He was also very respectful of my home. Overall, Footprints Floors exceeded my expectations with their dedication to customer satisfaction and high-quality work.
BOB SAGGET 09/24/24 — google
