Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Park Ridge, IL

If your home has solid hardwood hiding under years of wear, refinishing brings it back to life for a fraction of the cost of replacement. 11 North refinishes hardwood floors across Park Ridge and the north, northwest, western & southwestern Chicago suburbs - sanding, repairing, re-staining and sealing with proven, to-spec methods and dust-containment systems that keep your home clean.

Renew, don’t replace

Refinishing sands away surface scratches, dents, gray-out and old finish, then re-stains and re-seals the bare wood. The result looks like a brand-new floor - often the single highest-impact, best-value upgrade you can make to an established home. As long as there’s enough wear layer left, solid and many engineered floors can be refinished multiple times over their lives.

Change the color of your floors

Refinishing is your chance to modernize. We can take an orange-toned 1990s oak to a rich, current brown, a natural matte Scandinavian look, or a deep espresso - and match new wood to existing floors when we’re tying rooms together. We bring stain samples and test them on your actual floor so you see the real color before we commit.

Dust-contained sanding

Traditional floor sanding coats a home in fine dust. We use dust-containment sanding systems that capture the vast majority of dust at the source, keeping your home dramatically cleaner and the air healthier. We also repair gaps, squeaks and damaged boards before finishing so the renewed floor performs as good as it looks.

Durable, low-VOC finishes

We finish with durable protective coats and can offer low-VOC waterborne options that cure faster and let you return to your rooms sooner. Once cured, your refreshed floor is protected for years of daily life.
