Moisture Checks Done
Repairs Before Refinishing
Big Bro Hardwood is an owner-operated hardwood flooring contractor working across Lemont and nearby suburbs like Bolingbrook, Darien and Orland Park. 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 around the area, including bringing old oak strip flooring back to life in Old Town Lemont homes, matching new boards into prewar houses, and laying engineered plank over concrete in newer Lemont subdivisions.
The same small crew handles your Lemont project from the first measurement to the last coat, no rotating subcontractors. We price everything line by line, keep dust and odors to a minimum with vacuum-assisted equipment (it won’t eliminate them entirely, and edges and corners leave a little fine residue), and finish with Bona and Loba products that are kid- and pet-safe once cured. We’ll come measure and give you a free estimate within 24 hours.
Owner-Led From Start to Finish
Dan (Donatas) and the same small crew stay with your Lemont project from the first walkthrough to the last board set in place. There’s no rotating crew and no gap between stages, so your decisions stay consistent and nothing gets lost along the way.

80% of Clients Refer Us
Most of the people who call us heard about Big Bro Hardwood from a neighbor or friend in Lemont. That kind of word-of-mouth trust isn’t something we chase, it’s something we’ve earned job after job across the area.
On-Time, No-Stress Projects
We show up when we say we will and keep your Lemont home respected the whole time. Clear communication and a steady pace mean you always know what’s happening, with no surprises along the way from a crew that treats your house like their own.
GREENGUARD-Certified, Pet-Safe Finishes
We finish floors with low-VOC, water-based Bona and Loba products, GREENGUARD Gold and EMICODE EC1 rated, built for homes with kids and pets. On engineered or solid hardwood, these finishes are safe once fully cured and built to last.
Floor Condition and Moisture Come First
Before any plan takes shape, we check your Lemont subfloor for flatness, moisture and hidden movement. Lemont’s humid summers and dry winters put real stress on wood, and catching problems early means we can address subfloor moisture issues before they turn into gaps or cupping down the road.

Lemont'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
Old Town and Central Lemont Homes
Many older homes near Old Town Lemont still hide original oak or maple strip flooring under carpet or old finish. Most of it can be restored and recoated rather than torn out. In homes built before 1978, we follow EPA lead-safe (RRP) rules during prep.
2
Additions and Partial Rehabs
When a kitchen or family room addition meets an older section of the house, the wood species, grade and board width need to match closely so the new patches blend in. We study the existing boards before touching anything new.
3
Newer Subdivisions and Custom Builds
Lemont has seen steady growth since 1990, and newer subdivisions and custom homes often call for wide-plank engineered or prefinished hardwood. We check subfloor flatness and moisture before any work begins, so the floor stays flat once the seasons change.
4
Basements and Slab Sections
Full basements are common in Lemont’s newer homes, and some additions or ranch-style houses include slab sections. These areas get extra attention for moisture before engineered wood goes down, since concrete can hold dampness long after it feels dry.
5
Seasonal Humidity Swings
Lemont’s winters run dry and forced-air heat pulls moisture out of a room fast, while summers bring heavy humidity back in. We let new wood acclimate on site and aim to keep rooms around 30-50% humidity year round, which helps prevent cupping, gapping and crowning.
In many Lemont 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.

You can send photos for a rough first number, but the real price comes from an on-site visit, which we always prefer. We walk your Lemont home, check the subfloor and existing boards, and answer your questions in person. You’ll have a written estimate within 24 hours of that visit, with no pressure to decide on the spot.
Price depends on square footage, the condition of your existing floors and the scope of the work, whether that’s new boards, color work or bringing old flooring back to life. Our starting point is from $3/sq ft, with an itemized quote after the free in-home visit. For a rough idea before we measure, try our cost calculator.
Yes, Lemont is one of the 35 cities and suburbs we serve regularly. We’re also out in Bolingbrook, Darien, Burr Ridge, Willowbrook, Orland Park and other nearby suburbs most weeks, so we know the mix of older Old Town homes and newer Lemont subdivisions well before we ever walk in your door.
Once you sign off on the estimate, most Lemont projects start in about 2 to 4 weeks, depending on our current schedule. Smaller jobs sometimes fit in sooner without the usual wait. We’ll give you a real start date before any work begins, not a vague window.
The same small crew that gives your estimate is the crew that does the work, with the owner on every job from the first measurement to the last coat. There’s no rotating subcontractor team coming through your Lemont house, just the people who already know your floor’s history and condition.
Tell us about your floors and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
