The same small crew handles 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, though it doesn’t eliminate dust and odors entirely; edges and corners leave a little fine residue. We finish with Bona and Loba products that are kid- and pet-safe once cured, and we’ll come measure for a free estimate within 24 hours.

Why Orland Park, IL Homeowners Choose Big Bro Hardwood as Their Hardwood Flooring Contractor

17+ Years of Hands-On Hardwood Experience

With more than 17 years in hardwood floors, we have seen the mix of ranches, split-levels, and custom builds common around Orland Park. That background helps us catch subfloor issues early and pick the right approach for older solid oak or newer engineered boards.

Premium Results From $3/sq ft

Beautiful hardwood floors shouldn’t cost a fortune. Our work starts from $3/sq ft, giving Orland Park homeowners real value without cut corners. Try our hardwood floor cost calculator to get a quick sense of your project cost.

GREENGUARD-Certified, Pet-Safe Finishes

We finish every floor with low-VOC, water-based products: Bona and Loba products. Bona carries GREENGUARD Gold status and Loba is EMICODE EC1 rated, giving Orland Park families finishes safe for pets once fully cured, on solid or engineered hardwood.

On-Time, No-Stress Projects

Our hardwood flooring contractors plan each job carefully, keep a tight schedule, and treat your home with respect throughout. From the first visit to the last coat, you get clear, steady communication, so your Orland Park project never feels like a mystery.

80% of Clients Refer Us

Most new work finds us through word of mouth. Neighbors across Orland Park tell neighbors, and that trust keeps building. It reflects consistent, dependable craftsmanship rather than a one-time lucky result, and it’s a track record we work hard to protect.

Floors and Stairs Under One Scope

One crew can handle your hardwood floors together with treads, risers, and railings, so species, board width, and tone match throughout the house. That coordination gives Orland Park homes a connected, finished look instead of mismatched work from separate crews.

How Our Hardwood Flooring Contractor Adapts to Orland Park, IL Homes

Orland Park's mix of ranches, split-levels, and newer subdivisions means no two hardwood jobs look the same, so our crew adjusts our approach to the home in front of us.

1

Older Ranches and Split-Levels

Orland Park has pockets of older housing, and the red or white oak underneath can often be restored and recoated instead of torn out, even if carpet has covered it for years. In homes built before 1978 we follow EPA lead-safe (RRP) rules during prep. Full replacement only comes up when boards are cupped through or water damaged.

2

Additions and Remodeled Kitchens

Plenty of Orland Park homes from the 1970s through 1990s have additions, sunken living rooms, or split-level transitions where old wood meets new. We match species, grade, and board width so patches blend into the original floor instead of standing out as a seam.

3

Newer Construction and Subdivisions

Homes built closer to 2009 often call for wide-plank engineered or prefinished hardwood. Before any work begins, we check the plywood or OSB subfloor for flatness and moisture, since skipping that step is what leads to gaps or movement once the seasons change.

4

Condos and Townhomes on Slab

In Orland Park’s townhomes and condos built on a slab, we lay glue-down or floating engineered systems with low-VOC finishes, and we work around HOA scheduling and quiet hours when needed.

5

Humidity and Seasonal Movement

Dry forced-air winters and humid summers both stress wood floors here. We let wood acclimate on site and recommend keeping rooms between 30 and 50 percent humidity to help prevent cupping, gapping, and crowning year round.

In many Orland Park 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.

If you want your floors to look awesome, have it done reliably and have very fair pricing, contact BigBroHardwood. We had our floors redone prior to moving in, the former owners didn't take care of the floors at all and now they look brand new!

We hired Donatas to refinish hardwood floors in our 56-year-old Darien house last week and we are very pleased with the results. We dreaded the project because we had to shuffle furniture into other rooms and because of my preconceived notion that the entire house would be covered in sawdust. Well, I have to say it was nowhere near as bad as anticipated! Donatas sealed off adjacent areas and kept the dust down to a minimum, vacuuming up at the end of each day. We were very impressed with his attention to detail and overall work ethic, going out of his way to fix an unexpected issue resulting in a very long day for him. Ours was a week-long project, followed by a five-day curing period and Donatas made it as painless as possible for us. We feel very comfortable giving Big Bro Hardwood and Donatas in particular a five-star review and highly recommend them!

Dan transformed our 50 year old floors. They now shine as if they are brand new! We love the color of stain and the commercial finish he offered. Knowing we have a large dog this was a perfect choice and feel it is a great value. Again we are so happy with the results. Dan was prompt, professional and accommodating.

We would highly recommend Big Bro Hardwood!

We hired Dan after talking to 2 other companies and couldn’t be happier!!
He did a fantastic job, he showed up on time and his price was very reasonable.
He sanded and stained our 2nd story oak floors from golden oak color to a beautiful Jacobean stain. I really wish I had gotten “before & after” pictures. Our floors look absolutely beautiful and unlike the crew who did our 1st floor, Dan was very careful not to get ANY dark stain splatters on our white trim.
His hard work is impeccable and he’s a great credit to his craft!
I highly recommend him.

Couldn’t be happier with the job Big Bro did. The previous owners of our home installed bright red maple (who knows why), and I’ve wanted to change it forever. Maple is hard to work with, and Dan did a beautiful job. He worked with us on breaking up the project into two parts to inconvenience us the least, and was always on time and cleaned up. The project timeline went exactly as expected (a rarity these days). While refinishing floors is a hassle by default, Dan made it as painless as possible. Check out our before and after of one room for the big difference (still needs paint!)

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work around HOA rules in Orland Park condos and townhomes?

Yes. Many Orland Park condos and townhomes sit on slab and have building rules about scheduling, shared hallways, and quiet hours. We’re fully insured and can provide a certificate of insurance for your HOA, and we plan our work hours and protect common areas so your building stays on good terms with its management while we’re on site.

How soon can your crew start my Orland Park project after the estimate?

Once you’ve signed off after the free visit, we usually get started in 2 to 4 weeks, depending on our current schedule. Shorter jobs can sometimes move up faster. We’ll give you a realistic start date before you commit, so your Orland Park project fits your timeline instead of an open-ended guess.

What happens during a free in-home estimate in Orland Park?

Photos of your floors give us a rough first number, but the exact price comes from seeing your home in person. During the visit we check the subfloor, measure the rooms, and talk through what you want, then we follow up with an itemized quote. We offer free estimates within 24 hours of your call anywhere in Orland Park.

Do you serve areas near Orland Park too?

We do. Big Bro Hardwood works across Orland Park and nearby suburbs including Lemont, Burr Ridge, Darien, Willowbrook, Bolingbrook, and other nearby suburbs. Wherever you’re located in that area, the same crew and the same from $3/sq ft starting pricing apply to your floors.

What drives the cost of a hardwood flooring project in Orland Park?

Price depends on square footage, the condition of your existing floors, the scope of work, and building access, since a single-family home in Orland Park prices differently than a condo with elevator logistics. Our starting point is from $3/sq ft, with an itemized quote after the free in-home visit. Try our cost calculator for a rough first number.
