I cannot recommend FLOORecki highly enough! I only had one week to get my hardwood floors…read morerefinished before moving into my new condo, and after my original plans fell through, FLOORecki stepped in as a last-minute hire. From the very beginning, they were responsive, accommodating, and made the entire process completely stress-free. Chris led the project, and his craftsmanship was outstanding. He and his teammate sanded my original oak hardwood floors, replaced several damaged planks, and applied a custom stain that turned out even better than I imagined. The new boards blend in perfectly, the stain color is beautiful, and the finish is absolutely flawless. Chris took the time to answer my questions, walk me through the process, and make sure I was happy with every decision. What impressed me even more was the turnaround. They completed the entire job, including replacing boards, sanding, staining, finishing, and cleaning everything up, in just two days without sacrificing quality. They left my condo spotless and treated my home with the utmost respect throughout the project. I've attached before-and-after photos so you can see the quality of their work for yourself. The transformation speaks for itself. The floors look brand new, the replacement boards are virtually impossible to distinguish from the originals, and the custom stain completely transformed the look and feel of my home. If you're looking for someone to repair, sand, stain, or refinish hardwood floors, do yourself a favor and hire FLOORecki. Chris and his team exceeded every expectation, and my floors truly look brand new. I couldn't be happier with the result!

I'm a repeat customer, so this is my second review of Modern Quality Flooring…read more Danny met me at our new condo in Oak Park right after our closing, and gave us several great options for our new bedroom floors. He took extra effort to give me 4 different estimates for each of the options. While he was measuring the rooms, he also pointed out an electrical outlet issue that I hadn't seen! His team did a fantastic job throughout! They neatly and efficiently removed all the old nasty carpeting, installed the soundproofing layer, the engineered oak flooring, and all the baseboards and thresholds. They were so patient and considerate while I had 2 electricians working on the same day (not exactly ideal, but couldn't be avoided). The most impressive thing to me was their attention to detail and quality work. Even the baseboards were neatly cut to fit around the old radiator covers perfectly. They also do kitchens and other jobs, and I plan to call Danny again for future work.

Danny and his team at Modern Quality Flooring were beyond outstanding, I truly cannot praise them…read moreand their work enough. My fiancé and I tried to refinish our floors ourselves, but after 2 days we quickly realized we needed a professional. We reached out to 4 different companies. Every other company was condescending and poked fun at us for trying to do it ourselves. Danny came out immediately for a consultation, explained the entire process, and emailed me a quote the next day. From start to finish he was kind, soft spoken, took the time to explain every detail and the reasoning behind their process. We immediately wanted to move forward with Modern Quality Flooring. We confirmed with him on a Monday, his team of 3 started Tuesday and were done by Thursday. I am truly blown away at the efficiency and quality of work, such an incredible value and well worth every penny. They replaced some boards due to urine stains from previous owner and you could not even tell where they replaced the boards. They filled in nail spots and areas where the wood boards wouldn't reach our new, thinner base trim. Danny sanded an area to put down 2 stains to show me how the wood would take the stain. It was so great to see a sample of the stain on my actual floors, so there was no guessing in how the finish would turn out. Danny and his team were so kind, respectful, and patient throughout the entire process. If you are questioning getting your floors refinished, look no further. Don't waste any time, just go with Danny and Modern Quality Flooring. I promise you won't be disappointed!!

Totally disappointing and frustrating experience with Vera Specialty Concrete…read more We hired Tony Vera of Vera Specialty Concrete to put in a poured cement floor for 2 rooms in our basement (about 500 Sq Ft). He promised a smooth, grey-patterned cement floor as shown in the pictures he sent us. Timeline of events: 1. They removed yucky old carpeting and the tacking holding it to the cement substrate. 2. They ground down the floor to even it up. He failed to put up any plastic sheathing and did not cover the HVAC vents and returns as he had promised. Our basement and half of the main floor were covered in dust and debris. Horrible. 3. They added material to cover the cracks in the substrate and it sat for a while. 4. At this point he should have realized that the substrate was rough and uneven and would require more work to cover properly. 5. They troweled on a micro-thin layer of micro cement which didn't cover the floor well and showed all the underlying cracks, holes and lines from the carpet tacking and did not match up to the level of surrounding tile work as he had promised twice. 6. After a week of curing, they sealed the floor with a floor mop type implement and left with little notice. They failed to clean up afterwards. We received demands for payment of the final balance. 7. After weeks of communicating that we were not satisfied with the coverage, thickness or smoothness of the surface, he ghosted us twice and we assumed that he had abandoned the project. 8. Weeks later, he texted that he wanted to do another pass, consisting of micro-abrasion to remove the sealer, additional layers of micro-cement and final re-seal, we agreed and scheduled him to return. They never showed up and he has ghosted us for the 3rd and final time. No further communications of any kind since. Lessons: watch every move, ask lots of detailed questions and ignore the bulls**t he dishes out. Highly not recommended. Do not hire them!!!

We contracted Verafloor to level the concrete sub-floor as part of a full gut rehab. The floor was…read morevery uneven and we wanted it flat so that we could lay wood / tile directly on top of it. Based on this project experience, I could never recommend this company for concrete leveling. They did not deliver a suitable subfloor, and ultimately cost us more than double the budget trying to remedy their mistakes. This review is with regards to concrete leveling, as I did not use them for concrete polishing/staining. The project started off poorly when we tried to get a certificate of insurance from Verafloor for our condo association. Over the course of 2 months, I sent 17 email and text requests, as well as made numerous phone calls trying to get the COI. We would have walked away from the company then, but had already signed a contract and paid a 50% deposit of $6K so we stuck it out. The project quickly spiraled downhill as soon as they started working. No mapping of the sub floor was done, and no targets heights were marked. Pea gravel was spread as filler in the high areas instead of the low areas. Concrete was poured without any strings nor markers. After three days of work, Verafloor scheduled a final walk-through with our GC asked for final payment. The floor was no where near the standard needed as a subfloor. It varied up to 3" in height within an 8' span throughout. The heights of the floor varied throughout and exceeded the maximum target height in areas. The industry standard for a flat subfloor was no more than 1/4" variance in a 10' span. The contract stated we would get a level floor, we would have accepted a flat floor but couldn't accept one with such variances. Our GC and we suggested Verafloor rip up this concrete and start over (in hindsight we should have insisted on that). Instead, we agreed to allow them to grind the floor down and then re-pour the floor. We never imagined the crew would be grinding down the concrete for 2 months. They hauled away 21 bags of concrete dust. When they were ready to pour a level floor again, we requested one room as a test to demonstrate the crew had the technical skill to pour a flat floor. This time they used strings and marked the target height...and poured a flat floor. Unfortunately, they measured incorrectly and placed the target strings 1/2" below target on one side and 1/4" below on the other side of the room. Even though they failed this test, we agreed to allow one more attempt to get a flat floor. This time they didn't use markers or string, and just eyed it. When we evaluated his finished product, the floor was once again not flat to the subfloor standard. We even invested in a $500 laser floor measurement tool to confirm it was not within the standard. At this point, our project was more than 4 months behind due to the floor work that should have only taken 1-2 weeks. We found several independent flooring and concrete professionals to assess the situation, and all agreed the floor was not acceptable. Rather than go to arbitration to recoup our costs and risk further delays, we decided it would be best to call it quits and allow Verafloor to keep the deposit. We then found a different professional who could fix the floor in its current state. I know Verafloor lost a lot of money on the deal, as they poured, ground, and hauled away a lot of concrete. But we lost significantly more. With the cost of the initial deposit, replacement floor contractor, and 4 month delay, we spent more than double of the original $12K budget. Additionally, the work crew was not professional nor respectful of the work site. The other project subs commented on their lack of professionalism, and they even drew graffiti on the drywall and floor.
