Bona Traffic HD Finish

Floors + Stairs Specialist

Park Ridge is one of the northwest suburbs with the highest concentration of older, well-built homes — Tudors, colonials, and American four-squares built between the 1920s and 1960s. Most of these homes have original hardwood floors throughout the main living areas, and many have barely been touched since installation.

A Park Ridge home with original hardwood that hasn't been refinished in 20 or 30 years is one of the best candidates for refinishing work — the floors are typically thick, solid, and respond beautifully to a fresh sand and finish. We work in Park Ridge regularly and understand what these homes require.

Serving Park Ridge and surrounding communities including Niles, Des Plaines, Norwood Park, Harwood Heights, and Edison Park. Call or text 773-790-3887 for same-day response.

Why Park Ridge Homeowners Choose FLOORecki

Park Ridge homes from the 1930s through 1960s were built with quality hardwood — Red Oak, White Oak, and sometimes quartersawn oak in the finer homes. These floors have held up well because they were installed thick and solid. A proper refinishing job on a Park Ridge floor is one of the best home improvement investments a homeowner can make — the ROI is immediate and the results last 15–20 years with proper care.

Tudor and colonial homes in Park Ridge. The historic neighborhoods near downtown Park Ridge and along Devon Avenue have some of the most distinctive homes in the northwest suburbs. We've worked in these neighborhoods and understand the character of older construction — thicker boards, original finishes, and stair details that deserve careful attention.

Floors and stairs as one project. Many Park Ridge renovation projects include both floors and stairs — especially in two-story colonials and Tudor revivals where the staircase is a central architectural feature. We handle both together, which means matched stains and finishes throughout and one timeline instead of two separate contractors.

Common Questions — Park Ridge

Our Park Ridge home hasn't had the floors refinished in 25 years. Is it too late?

Not at all — floors that haven't been refinished in a long time are often in better shape than expected. The finish may look worn or dull, but the wood underneath is typically fine. We'll assess the condition during an on-site evaluation and let you know exactly what's possible. Floors that have been neglected for years often produce the most dramatic results after refinishing.

Can you match the stain to our existing floors when adding a room addition?

Yes. Stain matching is standard whenever we're adding square footage or replacing sections adjacent to existing flooring. We test stain on a small area before proceeding and use Bona and DuraSeal stains to blend custom tones when needed. In older Park Ridge homes, we often find that the original stain has darkened over time — we account for that in the matching process.

We have hardwood under carpet in our Park Ridge colonial. What does removal cost?

Carpet removal runs $0.75/sq ft and refinishing starts at $4/sq ft. For a 900 sq ft main floor, that's typically $4,275–$5,175 total — carpet removed and floors fully refinished. Park Ridge colonial floors under carpet are almost always worth refinishing — they respond well and the results are consistently excellent.

How long does a floor and stair project take in a Park Ridge home?

A combined floor refinishing and stair renovation in a Park Ridge colonial or Tudor typically takes 4–6 days. We schedule floors and stairs together when possible to minimize disruption. Bona Traffic HD water-based finish dries overnight — most clients walk on refinished floors within 24 hours of the final coat.
