Why Elmhurst Homeowners Choose FLOORecki

Elmhurst has one of the most active home renovation markets in the western suburbs — driven by a combination of teardown-rebuilds, older homes being updated, and homeowners investing in properties they plan to stay in long-term. Flooring and stairs are typically one of the first major projects in any renovation, and we're well-positioned to handle both efficiently and at a high standard.

Teardown and new construction in Elmhurst. Elmhurst has seen significant teardown activity over the past decade — older homes replaced with larger new construction. These new builds typically need full hardwood installation and complete stair builds. We work with homeowners and builders throughout this process, from pre-move-in installation to post-construction touch-ups.

Older homes near downtown Elmhurst. The neighborhoods closest to downtown Elmhurst and the Metra station have some of the oldest and most character-rich homes in the suburb — colonials, four-squares, and bungalows with original hardwood that refinishes beautifully. These are some of our most satisfying projects in the area.

Common Questions — Elmhurst

Do you work on new construction in Elmhurst?

Yes. New construction is a growing part of the work we do in Elmhurst — particularly teardown-rebuilds where we install full hardwood floors and build complete staircases. We work with both homeowners and general contractors and coordinate timing with the construction schedule.

We're renovating our older Elmhurst home — where do we start with floors?

Start with an on-site evaluation. We assess the existing floors, check whether any areas have hardwood under carpet, review stair condition, and give you a clear picture of what's possible and what it costs. Most Elmhurst renovation projects benefit from doing floors and stairs at the same time — same stain, same finish, one timeline.

Can you match our existing stain when adding a new room?

Yes. Stain matching is standard when we're adding square footage adjacent to existing flooring. We test the stain on a small section before proceeding and blend custom tones when needed. In older Elmhurst homes, we account for the natural darkening of the existing finish over time.

How long does a floor and stair project take in Elmhurst?

A combined refinishing and stair renovation typically takes 3–6 days depending on square footage and stair complexity. We use Bona Traffic HD water-based finish which dries overnight — most clients walk on floors within 24 hours of the final coat. For new construction installs, timing depends on the construction schedule.
