Dust-Controlled Sanding
Solid and Engineered Floors
Big Bro Hardwood is an owner-operated hardwood flooring company working across Oak Brook 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 around the area, including bringing 1970s oak back to life in Oak Brook’s custom brick colonials, matching new boards into older split-levels, and laying engineered plank over concrete in additions and lower-level living spaces common to this area.
The same small crew works your floors from the first measurement to the last coat, no rotating subcontractors. We price everything line by line and keep dust down with vacuum-assisted equipment. It keeps dust and odors low but doesn’t eliminate them; edges and corners leave a little fine residue. We finish with Bona and Loba products, kid- and pet-safe once cured, and offer a free estimate within 24 hours.

From Oak Brook out to Western Springs, Hinsdale, Willowbrook, Downers Grove, Elmhurst and other nearby suburbs, the same small crew handles your project start to finish. No rotating subcontractors, no handoffs. One accountable team keeps quality and communication consistent across every job.

Oak Brook'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
Mid-Century and 1970s Custom Homes
Most Oak Brook homes date from 1970 to 1989, and many still carry their original narrow-strip or plank oak. That solid wood can almost always be restored and recoated rather than torn out, as long as the boards are not cupped through or rotted from long-term water exposure.
2
Additions and Remodeled Spaces
Custom brick Colonials, split-levels and French Provincial estates in Oak Brook often get kitchen or family room additions over the years. We match species, grade and board width so new patches blend into the old floor, with no visible seam where the two meet.
3
Large Custom and Contemporary Homes
Bigger luxury properties around Oak Brook sometimes have higher-grade maple, walnut or ash alongside oak. These floors need careful subfloor checks before any work, since wood joists with plywood or dimensional-board subfloors behave differently than a slab.
4
Additions and Lower Levels on Slab
Concrete slabs show up under additions, lower-level living space, ranches and some attached housing. We check moisture conditions before any work on these sections, since a slab holds dampness differently than a wood subfloor and can affect how the floor settles.
5
Oak Brook's Humid Continental Climate
Cold, dry winters and humid summers push wood to expand and contract all year. We acclimate the wood on site and recommend keeping rooms at 30-50% humidity to prevent cupping, gapping and crowning as the seasons change.
In many Oak Brook 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.

Oak Brook has a good number of homes built before 1970, and some of the custom brick Colonials and split-levels date back further still. When we work on floors in these older homes, we follow EPA lead-safe (RRP) rules, including proper containment and cleanup. Original solid oak in these homes is often worth bringing back to life rather than tearing out and replacing.
Yes. For condos and townhomes we provide a certificate of insurance, follow building rules and quiet hours, and protect shared hallways and entryways while we work. We’re fully insured, and the same small crew handles the job from start to finish, so there’s one point of contact for your building manager or HOA the whole way through.
We work throughout Oak Brook and the surrounding area, including Western Springs, Hinsdale, Willowbrook, Downers Grove, Elmhurst and other nearby suburbs. Wherever the job is, it’s the same crew and the same approach, matched to whatever that home’s floors and subfloor need.
Price depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing boards, the scope of the work, and building access, since a detached home in Oak Brook prices differently than a condo with elevator logistics. Our work starts from $3/sq ft, and you get an itemized quote after we see the floors in person. Get a rough first number with our cost calculator before the visit.
The owner is on every job, start to finish, with one small crew and no rotating subcontractors. That means the person who measures your floors on day one is the same person overseeing the last coat, which keeps quality and communication consistent across the whole project.
