Bona Traffic HD Finish

Floors + Stairs Specialist

Schaumburg is one of the largest suburban communities in the Chicago area — built primarily between the 1970s and 1990s with subdivision homes, townhomes, and a significant amount of newer construction near Woodfield Mall and the I-90 corridor. The flooring profile in Schaumburg homes varies widely depending on when the home was built and what's been done to it since.

Homes built in the 1970s and 80s in Schaumburg often have original hardwood under carpet in living and dining areas — one of the most overlooked and highest-value renovation opportunities in the northwest suburbs. Homes from the 1990s and 2000s typically have builder-grade hardwood in good condition that benefits significantly from professional refinishing.

Why Schaumburg Homeowners Choose FLOORecki

Schaumburg subdivision homes from the 1980s and 90s are at the sweet spot for refinishing — the original floors are thick enough to sand multiple times, the wood quality was solid, and the homes are at the age where a renovation makes financial sense. Refinishing the floors and upgrading the stairs with iron spindles is one of the most popular projects we do in the northwest suburbs.

Carpeted stairs in Schaumburg homes. The vast majority of Schaumburg homes built in the 80s and 90s have carpeted stairs — a builder-grade choice that homeowners are now replacing with hardwood treads and iron spindles. It's one of the most dramatic single upgrades you can make to a subdivision home, and one of our most requested projects in the area.

Townhomes and attached units in Schaumburg. Schaumburg has a large townhome and condo population. We work in attached units regularly and use dustless sanding equipment and Bona Traffic HD water-based finish — both minimize impact on neighbors and common areas. If your HOA has specific requirements, let us know and we'll work within those guidelines.

Common Questions — Schaumburg

Does my Schaumburg home have hardwood under the carpet?

Possibly — it depends on when your home was built. Homes built before 1985 in Schaumburg often have original hardwood under carpet in living and dining areas. Homes built in the late 80s and 90s sometimes have hardwood and sometimes don't. To check, lift a floor vent or pull back a corner of carpet in a closet. We can also verify during a free on-site evaluation.

New oak tread installation starts at $250 per tread. A typical Schaumburg home with 13–15 stairs, iron spindles, and a refinished handrail usually runs $4,500–$7,500 total depending on materials and configuration.
