Solid and Engineered Floors
Big Bro Hardwood is an owner-operated hardwood flooring company working across Western Springs and nearby suburbs like Hinsdale and Oak Brook. 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, bringing 1920s and 1930s oak back to life in Old Town bungalows, matching new boards into prewar homes near Field Park, and laying engineered plank over concrete in newer Timber Trails builds.
The same small crew works your floors from first measurement to last coat, no rotating subcontractors. We price everything line by line and keep dust down with vacuum-assisted equipment that keeps dust and odors low but doesn’t eliminate them entirely (edges and corners can leave a little fine residue). We finish with Bona and Loba products that are kid- and pet-safe once cured, and we’ll give you a free estimate within 24 hours.
Floor Condition and Moisture Come First
Before we touch a board, we check the subfloor for flatness, moisture and movement, especially in older Western Springs homes with basements below. This careful groundwork cuts the risk of gaps, cupping or loose boards showing up months later.

You don’t need a luxury budget for a beautiful floor in Western Springs. Our hardwood flooring company starts work at just $3/sq ft, and you can get a quick idea of cost with our hardwood floor cost calculator before we ever set foot in your home.

Western Springs'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
Prewar and Early 1900s Homes
Many Old Town and older Western Springs homes still hide original oak strip floors under carpet or years of grime. These can almost always be restored and recoated rather than torn out. We follow EPA lead-safe (RRP) rules for pre-1978 homes, and we only talk replacement if boards are cupped through or water-rotted.
2
1920s to 1960s Field Park and Ridge Acres Homes
Houses from this era often sit over full or partial basements with plank or plywood subfloors. Before any work, we check for soft spots, past moisture damage, and uneven framing so the finished floor sits flat and true across the whole room.
3
Additions and Rehabs
When a Western Springs home gets a kitchen bump-out or a rehabbed room, matching the new wood to the old is the hard part. We match species, grade, and board width so patches blend into the original floor instead of standing out as a visible seam.
4
New Custom Homes and Timber Trails Townhomes
Newer builds and Timber Trails townhomes often call for wide-plank engineered hardwood over plywood or concrete. We check subfloor flatness and run moisture tests before any work, since skipping that step is what leads to gaps and squeaks down the road.
5
Seasonal Humidity Swings
Western Springs winters run dry with forced-air heat, and summers turn humid. Wood moves with both. We let new material acclimate on site and recommend keeping rooms between 30-50% humidity to head off cupping, gapping, and crowning before they start.
In many Western Springs 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.

Our team worked in these Western Springs homes with Golden Oak through a beamed great room and a kitchen, and a custom greige with a modern staircase.
The beamed great room and the main level of this Western Springs home have a warm Golden Oak tone under Loba 2K Duo. Our wood floor company carried it into the foyer and around the fireplace.
A warm honey Golden Oak tone under Loba 2K Duo runs through the kitchen and the open living areas of this Western Springs home. Our professional hardwood flooring crew cut out damaged boards and laced in new hardwood, so the patch blends into the floor.

Yes. Many Timber Trails townhomes have engineered wood over plywood or concrete, and we treat condo and townhome projects with the same care as full houses. We protect shared hallways and entries, keep quiet hours in mind, and can provide a certificate of insurance for your building. We’re fully insured for both condos and houses across Western Springs.
Start dates usually run two to four weeks out after the in-home estimate and signed agreement, depending on our current schedule. Shorter jobs sometimes fit in sooner. We’ll give you a real start window once we’ve seen your Western Springs home and scoped the work, rather than guessing over the phone.
We do. Along with Western Springs, we regularly work in Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Willowbrook, Burr Ridge, Darien and other nearby suburbs. It’s the same small crew and the same owner-led approach wherever the job is, so you get consistent work whether you’re near Old Town or in one of the neighboring towns.
Photos of your floors can give a rough first number, but the real quote comes from seeing the floor, subfloor and job conditions in person, which is why we prefer an on-site visit. We walk the rooms, check moisture and flatness, talk through options, and follow up with an itemized quote. Estimates are free and scheduled within 24 hours of your call.
Square footage, the current condition of your floors, the scope of work and building access all factor into price. A detached Western Springs house prices differently than a condo with elevator logistics. Projects start from $3/sq ft, and you can get a rough idea with our cost calculator before the free in-home estimate gives you an exact, itemized number.
