Custom Stain Samples
Big Bro Hardwood is an owner-operated hardwood flooring company working in Deerfield 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 handled 500+ floors across the area, bringing older oak floors back to life and matching new boards into established Deerfield homes where rooms have been added on over the years. We’ve also laid engineered plank for families who want a floor that handles the area’s humid summers and dry heated winters without trouble.
The same small crew works your Deerfield floors from first measurement to last coat, no rotating subcontractors. We price everything line by line, keep dust down with vacuum-assisted equipment that it keeps dust and odors down but doesn’t eliminate them (edges and corners 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.
Serving Deerfield and Nearby Suburbs
We work on homes throughout Deerfield and more than 30 surrounding towns, using the same small crew on every job rather than a rotating cast of outside subcontractors. That keeps communication and quality consistent from the first visit to the final walkthrough, no matter where your house sits in the area.
Complex Projects Planned, Not Improvised
Tricky access, concrete subfloors, custom color blends, water-damaged sections and tricky room transitions all call for more than guesswork. We work out the order of work, access needs, prep and finish details before anything begins, so your Deerfield project moves forward with fewer surprises along the way.
Floors and Stairs Under One Scope
One crew handles your floors right alongside your steps, treads, risers and railings, so there is no guessing where one trade ends and another begins. That lets us match species, board width, color and sheen across the whole space, giving your Deerfield home a connected, finished look.
Floor Condition and Moisture Come First
Good hardwood work starts with what you can’t see. Before we plan a project, we check subfloor flatness, moisture levels, movement and existing damage so nothing gets overlooked. Catching problems early in the process helps prevent gaps, cupping and loose boards once the new floor is down.
Premium Results From $3/sq ft
A quality floor in Deerfield shouldn’t come with a luxury price tag attached. Our work starts from $3/sq ft, and pricing depends on your space and project details. Try our hardwood floor cost calculator for a quick starting estimate before you book your in-home visit.
Owner-Led From Start to Finish
Dan and the same small crew stay with your project from the first measurement through the last walkthrough. There are no rotating subcontractors and no confusing handoffs between stages, which means clear decisions and fewer details slipping through the cracks on your Deerfield home.

Deerfield's housing stock and climate change what works on the floors; here is how our specialists adapt the work by home type and condition.
1
Older Homes With Original Wood
Many houses in Deerfield still carry their original oak or maple strip floors under carpet or old finish. These can almost always be restored and recoated instead of torn out. In homes built before 1978, we follow EPA lead-safe (RRP) rules for any dust containment work.
2
Additions And Remodeled Rooms
When a Deerfield home has been expanded or reworked over the years, the floors often don’t line up. We match species, grade and board width so new wood ties into old, and the patches blend in rather than standing out as a visible seam.
3
Newer Construction And Subdivisions
Newer Deerfield subdivisions often call for wide-plank engineered or prefinished hardwood. Before any work begins, we check the subfloor for flatness and moisture, because a flat, dry base is what keeps seasonal movement from opening gaps later.
4
Condos And Townhomes
For condos and townhomes on concrete slabs, we use glue-down or floating engineered systems with low-VOC finishes. We work around HOA quiet hours and scheduling needs so the project moves smoothly for everyone in the building.
5
Lake-Effect Humidity Swings
Deerfield winters run dry under forced-air heat, and summers bring heavy lake-effect humidity. We let wood acclimate on site and recommend keeping indoor humidity around 30-50 percent year-round, since that range is what keeps boards from cupping, gapping or crowning.
In many Deerfield 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.

These Deerfield homes show herringbone white oak in Rustic Beige and a deep Rosewood main level with a matching staircase.
The herringbone white oak in this Deerfield home runs through the two-story great room and the entry in Rustic Beige under Loba 2K Duo. Our wood floor company matched the staircase, with iron balusters.
A deep, warm Rosewood tone under Loba 2K Duo carries across the main level of this Deerfield home. Our professional hardwood flooring team matched the staircase, where new black metal balusters took the place of the old carpet runner and wood balusters.

Call us and we’ll set up a visit, usually with a free estimate turnaround within 24 hours of first contact. Photos of your floor can give you a rough first number, but the exact price comes from seeing the boards, subfloor and room layout in person. That visit is where we talk through condition, scope and what your Deerfield home actually needs.
Square footage, the current condition of the wood and the scope of work all factor into price. Our work starts from $3/sq ft, and you get an itemized quote after the free in-home estimate, not a flat number pulled from thin air. For a quick starting figure before booking that visit, try our cost calculator and use it as a rough baseline for your Deerfield home.
The same small crew handles your project from the first measurement to the last coat, with no rotating subcontractors. Dan is on every job himself, which keeps the people working in your Deerfield home consistent and accountable from start to finish, rather than handing your project off between outside crews partway through.
Start dates usually fall 2 to 4 weeks after the estimate and signed agreement, depending on our current schedule. Shorter jobs can sometimes fit in sooner without the usual wait. We’ll give you a realistic window for your Deerfield home once we’ve seen the space and talked through the scope together.
Yes. We serve Deerfield along with more than 30 other towns in the area, including Highland Park, Northbrook, Lake Forest, Buffalo Grove, Winnetka and other nearby suburbs. The same owner-led crew covers all of them, so a house a few towns over gets the same hands-on approach as one right in Deerfield.
Tell us about your floors and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
