We've used Chicago Hardwood Flooring before--to repair a poor job done by another vendor and to install a new hardwood floor. We wouldn't use anyone else! Darek is punctual and respectful of our time and money. His workers are exceedingly professional and their work is impeccable. We've recently purchased a home in Ravenswood Manor. Our object was to remove old carpets and either instlal new hardwood or recupe the old. Darek's "excavation" of linoleum found nearly pristine original hardwood and his workers were able to remove all the asphalt glue and restore them. The floors are gorgeous. The work took about 5 days. It went way over the the estimate BUT we knew it might b/c of the labor involved to remove the linoleum. Darek informed us upfront that he couldn't accurately estimate until we saw how much labor would be involved in the excavation. There were no surprises. We're thrilled with the results.
Description of Work: Two bedrooms: Remove carpet, remove linoleum and associated asphalt-based glue, sand and refinish floors, and replace quarter rounds.First floor--dining and living room --maintenance buff and polyurethane.

THE OVERALL JOB WAS EXCELLENT. THE PACE OF THE WORK WAS EXCELLENT. i MUST SAY THIS WAS THE BEST SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED FROM ANY COMPANY FOR ANY WORK. THEY EVEN DID EXTRA WORK FOR NO CHARGE, LITTLE STUFF BUT NEVER EVEN ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. I WISH EVERY COMPANY WAS THIS RESPECTABLE AND DETAILED. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT MY SERVICE AND THE BEAUTY OF THE WORK. 15 STARS

Marks is very friendly and professional person, you can feel Personal Touch and his care about the work done right.
Description of Work: I would highly recommend Mark's crew. They installed hardwood floor in my entire house. They did excellent job. I was able to choose the custom color of the stain for my floors as well as finish. We are so pleased with the floors. I was even able to get little extra of what we paid for. The price was very fair and great investment in our home.

Great job. The floors in one room were covered with some sort of adhesive used to secure the carpet to the floor. Removed it all and left floors looking great. I have noticed that some of the saw dust and other fillers used to fill the gaps have come loose. That said, I did not pay extra to have the gaps filled. For the price, I received more than I paid for.
Description of Work: Sanded and refinished hardwood floors, approximately 800 sf. The floors were in bad shape, including gaps between floor boards.

Darius quoted this job for us in 5/2007 and was very patient as we wavered about when to do it. When I called him about 6 months later to schedule the job, he requoted the job, sent his master carpenter to be sure that they could do it properly, and then scheduled the job. All this was done in about 2 weeks. The work was skillfully done and the carpenter solved some major problems. They were professional, polite, quiet,and very neat. When they realized that they needed something from home improvement store, they did the round trip very quickly. These guys were all about doing the job right the first time, real perfectionists. Everything looks beautiful and I'm finally able to forget about the first botched job.
Description of Work: We had used another company to lay hardwood in our upstairs hallway. They did a terrible job finishing the carpentry around the balustrade and the bullhose at the top of the stairs. When the original contractor could not complete a satisfactory repair, I called Chicago Hardwood.

It went very well. My only complaint would be that they didn't tell me place tarts around everything so that it wouldn't get dust on everything but it would have been nice if they reminded me. This is the second time I've worked with them and I would work with them again.
Description of Work: They replaced several pieces of oakwood flooring in a part where a wall had been removed and they sanded it to match the rest of the floor. They also placed a vent into the floor which made it a bigger job. They also sanded a flight of stairs.

Dariuz and team were great to work with. Quick with the estimate and during visit determined less work was needed. Work was completed within days of the first phone call. Their knowledge, personalities, and work was great. They cleaned up well. Fun and friendly and trustworthy. They even fixed our back door that sticks just because! They created 3 new areas of floor that was ruined from 100 years of steam radiator weight, valve leaking, and general settling. We are looking to have them refinish all of our floors (1600 sq ft) because of their service for our repair work.
Description of Work: Repaired floor joists, installed new sub floor and new hardwood floor boards for 3 areas of the house. About 30 boards overall and about 10 sq ft. of sub floor. No sanding was requested to match the boards as we are planning to refinish the floors in the future.

Dariusz and his team spent approximately 5 days power-sanding the varnish and re-applying new varnish. They started with the water/burn spots in order to set our expectations early on regarding what type of results we could expect. We couldn't be happier with the way the floors turned out. The team did a fantastic job uncovering the natural beauty of our hardwood flooring. They also left us a special cleaning solvent and mop for future cleaning needs.
Description of Work: Sand and refinish oak hardwood floors in approximately 1500 square feet of living space in our home. The previous varnish had been applied a very long time ago and was applied very thickly. In some cases, there were water spots and/or burn spots. We had no idea what the floor would look like underneath all the varnish.

THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS COMPANY CAME TO MY HOUSE TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE. HE WAS THOROUGH AND MADE A DETAILED SALES PITCH. HE WAS WILLING TO PROVIDE SERVICE ON SHORT NOTICE. HOWEVER, HE WAS QUITE RELUCTANT TO PUT HIS ESTIMATE IN WRITING. WHEN I REQUESTED A WRITTEN ESTIMATE, HE PROVIDED A DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK TO BE DONE, AND THE TERMS OF DOWN PAYMENT BUT NOT THE COST OF THE JOB. WHEN I DECLINED HIS OFFER TO DO THE WORK, HE ASKED FOR THE WRITTEN PROPOSAL BACK. WHEN I REPLIED NO AND THAT I SAW NO REASON FOR THIS, HE WALKED INTO MY HOME AND PAST ME TO OBTAIN IT ON HIS OWN DESPITE MY PROTEST. I NEEDED TO ASK HIM TO LEAVE MY HOUSE. AT THAT POINT HE LEFT. HE DID CALL MOMENTS LATER TO APOLOGIZE. THIS COMPANY HAS RECEIVED MANY POSITIVE COMMENTS ON THIS SITE, THE PRICE QUOTED APPEARED TO BE WITHIN THE RANGE EXPECTED AND THE REPRESENTATIVE APPEARED TO BE WELL CREDENTIALED, BUT HIS BEHAVIOR WAS UNPROFESSIONAL AND INAPPROPRIATE.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH THIS COMPANY. MAREK STANISZEWSKI (THE OWNER)CAME TO MY HOUSE AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE THE DAY AFTER I CALLED HIM. THE WORK WAS DONE LATER THAT WEEK, AND TURNED OUT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. BECAUSE FLOOR SANDING CAN BE A MESSY PROPOSITION I EXPECTED THERE TO BE SOME SAW DUST TO CLEAN UP - BUT THEY LEFT THE ROOMS SPOTLESS.
Description of Work: I HAD THE MAPLE FLOORS OF TWO ROOMS AND A STAIRWELL LANDING SANDED AND CLEAR COATED. THE FLOORING HAD BEEN PAINTED BROWN.
