From Just $3/sq ft
17+ Years of Local Expertise
Certified Pet- & Family-Safe Finishes
Dust-Controlled Sanding
500+ Floors Completed
Big Bro Hardwood is an owner-operated hardwood flooring company working in Bartlett, Illinois and nearby suburbs. We install, sand, stain, refinish, and repair solid and engineered wood floors, starting around $3 a square foot. In 17+ years we’ve done 500+ floors across the area, from bringing 1950s and 1960s ranch oak back to life, to matching new boards into older Bartlett homes, to laying engineered plank over concrete in newer additions and townhomes near the village center.
The same small crew works your floors from the first measurement to the last coat, no rotating subcontractors. We price everything line by line, keep dust down with vacuum-assisted equipment (it reduces dust and odors but doesn’t erase them completely, so edges and corners can still leave a little fine residue), and finish with Bona and Loba products that are kid- and pet-safe once cured. Call us and we’ll give you a free estimate within 24 hours.

Tailored for Bartlett Homes
Bartlett’s homes range from midcentury ranches with narrow oak strips to newer subdivisions built over full basements. We shape every plan around local humidity swings, dry winter heat, and how each room actually gets used, so the floor fits the house, not a generic template.
GREENGUARD-Certified, Pet-Safe Finishes
We finish floors with low-VOC, water-based products only, the Bona and Loba products line. Bona carries GREENGUARD Gold status and Loba is EMICODE EC1 certified, giving Bartlett families and pets finishes safe once cured, whether your floor is engineered or solid hardwood.
On-Time, No-Stress Projects
Our hardwood flooring contractors run on a tight, honest schedule and treat your home with care from the first day to the last. We keep communication open throughout, so Bartlett clients always know what’s happening and never feel left guessing about progress.
17+ Years of Hands-On Hardwood Experience
Seventeen-plus years of hands-on hardwood work means we catch issues early and pick the right method the first time, whether we’re working on an original oak floor or a modern engineered plank. That practical experience shows in every Bartlett home we touch.
Floors and Stairs Under One Scope
One crew handles your main floors together with your steps, treads, risers and railings, no handoffs between separate contractors. That means matching species and tone across the whole house, with clean transitions that make your Bartlett home feel finished, not patched together.

Bartlett's mix of older village-center houses, midcentury ranches and newer subdivisions all move differently under a hardwood floor, so our hardwood flooring contractor reads each house before deciding how to treat it.
1
Older and Midcentury Homes
Many midcentury ranches and older houses near central Bartlett still hide narrow-strip oak under carpet or vinyl. In most cases that original wood can be restored and recoated instead of torn out. For homes built before 1978 we follow EPA lead-safe (RRP) rules during any work on the old finish.
2
Additions and Partial Rehabs
When a kitchen or family room addition meets an older section of flooring, matching species, grade and board width is what makes the patch disappear. We blend new boards into existing floors so the seam is not something you notice later.
3
Newer Subdivisions and Open Floor Plans
Post-1980 Bartlett subdivisions, including areas like Westridge and Heron’s Landing, often sit over full basements with wood-framed subfloors. Before any work goes down, we check that the subfloor is flat and dry enough to support wide-plank engineered or prefinished hardwood without gaps opening later.
4
Seasonal Humidity and Wood Movement
Bartlett’s dry forced-air winters and humid summers push wood to expand and contract all year. We let new material acclimate on site and recommend keeping rooms near 30-50% humidity, which keeps cupping, gapping and crowning from becoming a problem down the road.
In many Bartlett homes the original wood is worth saving rather than tearing out, but the only way to know for sure is for a professional hardwood flooring contractor to look at your subfloor and the condition of the boards up close.

Yes. Bartlett has townhomes and attached housing alongside detached homes, and we treat those jobs differently. We bring written dust-control documentation for the building, protect shared hallways and elevators, respect quiet hours, and carry a certificate of insurance for the association. We’re fully insured for both condos and houses, so your HOA paperwork isn’t a holdup.
We work across 35 cities and suburbs in the area, and the closest ones to Bartlett on our regular route include St. Charles, Geneva, Wheaton, Barrington, Batavia, and other nearby suburbs. If you’re just outside Bartlett proper, in DuPage, Cook, or Kane county, there’s a good chance we’re already working nearby.
The same small crew, start to finish, no rotating subcontractors sent out by someone else. The owner is on every job from the first measurement to the last coat, which is how we catch subfloor issues or tricky matches before they become a problem. You’re not handed off between strangers partway through your Bartlett project.
Send photos first if you want a rough number right away, but the exact price comes from seeing your floors in person. We give free estimates within 24 hours of a request, and at the visit we check the wood, the subfloor, and how the space is used before writing up an itemized quote. No pressure to commit on the spot.
Most Bartlett projects start about two to four weeks after the estimate and signed agreement, depending on our current schedule. Smaller jobs, like a quick recoat that takes a day or two, can sometimes slot in sooner without the usual wait. We’ll give you a realistic window once we’ve seen the job.
