Not all hardwood is the same. The best choice depends on your subfloor, your lifestyle, and the look you want.

Solid Hardwood

Solid hardwood is real wood from top to bottom. It is strong and long-lasting. Many solid hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times.

Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwood has a real wood top layer with a stable core. It often handles moisture changes better than solid wood. This is a great option for many Illinois homes.

Popular Wood Species and Styles

We can help you choose from common options like oak, maple, hickory, and more. You can also choose the finish style you like, such as:

• Matte
• Satin
• Semi-gloss

5) Final walk-through

We check seams, corners, stair edges, and transitions. Then we clean up the work area.

Buying the right carpet is only half the job. Installation is what makes it look great and last longer. Our team follows a clean, careful process.

Here is what proper installation includes:

• Accurate measuring and planning
• Removing old carpet (if needed)
• Preparing the subfloor so it is smooth and solid
• Using quality padding for comfort and support
• Stretching carpet the right way to avoid wrinkles
• Clean seams and tight edges around walls and doorways

A well-installed carpet feels better, looks better, and wears better. If you want a carpet store Barrington locals rely on for both product and install, SCV Floorsmith is ready to help.

If you already have hardwood floors, you may not need a full replacement. Sanding and refinishing can make old floors look new again.

Signs you may need refinishing

• Deep scratches and worn spots
• A dull, faded finish
• Water marks or stains
• Floors that look uneven in color
• Older floors with heavy traffic wear

Our refinishing process

We follow a proven refinishing process:

1. Protect your space (cover vents and nearby areas)
2. Sand the floor to remove old finish and damage
3. Clean dust carefully for a smooth result
4. Apply stain (if you want a new color)
5. Add seal and topcoat for protection

We use professional sanding equipment like a drum sander, edge sander, buffing machine, and high-quality finishes designed to handle real life—kids, guests, and everyday footsteps.

Good laminate installation starts with good prep. We use the right tools and methods so your floor stays flat, strong, and quiet.

1) Measure and Choose the Right Laminate

We measure your space and help you choose laminate based on:

• Room traffic level
• Pets and kids
• Style preference (wood-look, tile-look)
• Budget and durability needs

2) Remove Old Flooring (If Needed)

We can remove old carpet, vinyl, or damaged flooring and prep the area for installation.

3) Subfloor Inspection and Leveling

Laminate needs a flat base. We check the subfloor for:

• Low spots
• High edges
• Squeaks
• Moisture concerns

We fix uneven areas because bumps and dips can cause laminate to separate or feel hollow.

4) Install Underlayment and Moisture Barrier

Most laminate floors need underlayment for comfort and sound control. In some areas, we may use a moisture barrier too.

5) Install Laminate Planks (Click-Lock System)

Many laminate floors use a click-lock system. We install planks with the right spacing so the floor can expand and shrink naturally.

We use pro tools like:

• Tapping block and pull bar (tight seams)
• Spacers (expansion gap)
• Saw / laminate cutter (clean cuts)
• Measuring tools (straight layout)

6) Finish Trim and Transitions

We add:

• Baseboard or quarter round (if needed)
• Doorway transitions
• Stair nosing (for stairs)

Then we clean up and walk the job with you.

We follow a clear, proven process so you get a smooth experience and great results.

1) Measure and Plan

We measure your space, check your layout, and help you choose the right product. This prevents surprises later.

2) Subfloor Inspection and Prep

A strong base is key. We inspect the subfloor and fix issues like:

• Uneven spots
• Loose boards
• Squeaks
• Moisture concerns

We may use leveling methods and moisture checks to protect the hardwood.

3) Underlayment and Moisture Barrier

Depending on your floor type, we install the right underlayment or moisture barrier. This helps reduce noise and protects the wood.

4) Professional Installation

We use professional tools like:

• Floor nailers / staplers
• Adhesives (when required)
• Spacers
• Saws for clean cuts
• Tapping blocks and pull bars for tight seams

We install boards carefully so lines stay straight and seams stay tight.

5) Final Details and Cleanup

We complete trim, transitions, and edge finishing. Then we do a walkthrough with you and leave the site clean.

Every part of the home has different needs. We guide you to the right carpet and the right install plan.

Carpet for Bedrooms

Bedrooms are about comfort. Plush and soft carpets are popular here because they feel warm and cozy.

Carpet for Stairs

Stairs need strong carpet and careful fitting. We recommend durable carpet styles that handle heavy use and stay safer underfoot.

Carpet for Basements

Basements can have moisture changes. We can suggest carpet fibers and padding that work better for lower-level spaces.

If you want help choosing the right carpet for each room, we’ll explain it in simple words.

Do your floors look scratched, dull, or uneven in color? You may not need new floors. Many floors can be restored with refinishing.

What Refinishing Does for Your Hardwood Floors

Hardwood refinishing removes the worn top layer and brings the beauty back. It can help with:

• Scratches and scuffs
• Faded finish
• Stains and water marks (in many cases)
• Uneven shine and color
• Old floors that look “tired”

Our Refinishing Process

We follow a careful, step-by-step process using pro-grade tools:

• Floor sanding with commercial sanders
• Edge sanding along walls and corners
• Dust control to keep your home cleaner
• Stain options if you want a new color
• Sealer + protective finish for durability

We can recommend the right finish for your home, like water-based polyurethane (fast dry, low odor) or oil-based polyurethane (classic look, strong finish).
