What Makes MSTA Hardwood Flooring Different

When it comes to refinishing or installing new hardwood floors, you have plenty of options across the Chicagoland area — but not all flooring companies deliver the same quality, care, and professionalism.

At MSTA Hardwood Flooring, we’ve built our reputation on craftsmanship, honesty, and attention to detail. Homeowners across the Chicagoland area trust us for our dedication to quality and precision.

We proudly serve customers within a 25-mile radius of Elmhurst, including Barrington, Schaumburg, Lake Zurich, Lake Forest, Highland Park, McHenry, Woodstock, Aurora, Naperville, Bolingbrook, Lemont, Oak Brook, Hinsdale, Chicago, Winnetka, Wilmette, Glencoe, Northbrook, and Evanston – as well as all surrounding areas.

Here are 10 reasons why local homeowners continue to choose MSTA Hardwood Flooring for their refinishing, installation, and staircase projects.

Reason 1

We Guarantee a Dustless Experience

Traditional floor sanding can create a huge mess, leaving dust on every surface for weeks. At MSTA Hardwood Flooring, we’ve invested in advanced dustless sanding systems that capture nearly all airborne particles before they spread. Our equipment uses professional-grade filtration to keep your home clean and healthy throughout the process. You can rest easy knowing that your furniture, air quality, and home are protected — all while achieving a flawless, smooth finish. With us, you’ll never have to deal with the dreaded post-sanding cleanup again.

Reason 2

Flooring Is What We Do — and Only What We Do

Unlike many general contractors who “also do floors,” our entire business revolves around one thing — hardwood flooring. Every single day, our focus is on floor sanding, refinishing, installation, recoating, and repairs. Because this is all we do, we’ve developed unmatched expertise, precision, and efficiency in every step of the process. Whether it’s reviving worn-out floors or installing new ones from scratch, we approach every job with dedication and pride. Our team doesn’t just work on floors — we master them.

Reason 3

You Work Directly With Our Team — Not Subcontractors

We believe that personal accountability builds trust. When you hire MSTA Hardwood Flooring, you work directly with our in-house team — not temporary subcontractors or middlemen. From your first consultation to the final inspection, you’ll have one consistent point of contact who knows every detail of your project. This ensures clear communication, zero misunderstandings, and a seamless customer experience. You’ll always know who’s working in your home — and that every person represents MSTA’s commitment to quality.

Reason 4

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We take pride in offering honest, upfront, and fully itemized pricing. Before any work begins, we provide a detailed estimate that breaks down every cost so there are no surprises. Once you approve the quote, that’s the final price — no hidden fees, no “extra” charges after the fact. If you decide to add additional services or upgrades, we’ll provide a new estimate before continuing. Our goal is to give you complete confidence and peace of mind in every financial aspect of your project.

Reason 5

We Never Cut Corners — Perfection Is Our Standard

Every detail matters. From the first sanding pass to the final coat of finish, we take the time to do things right — not just fast. We believe that a floor should be both beautiful and durable, which means careful prep work, even sanding, and precise application of finishes. If something doesn’t meet our high standards, we fix it before calling the job done. This attention to detail is what turns a good floor into a stunning one, and why so many clients recommend MSTA Hardwood Flooring to family and friends.

Reason 6

Licensed, Insured, and Reliable

Your home is one of your biggest investments, and you deserve to know it’s protected. MSTA Hardwood Flooring is a fully licensed and insured company with comprehensive liability and worker’s compensation coverage. We also take reliability seriously — showing up on time, respecting your home, and completing every project safely and professionally. Our clients trust us not just for the quality of our floors, but for the peace of mind that comes with working with a responsible, dependable business.

Reason 7

Proven Quality — Trusted by Local Homeowners

We’ve built our reputation on trust, and that trust has been earned through years of consistent results. Homeowners throughout McHenry County and the greater Chicagoland area continue to choose MSTA Hardwood Flooring because they’ve seen the difference in our work. Our clients appreciate our honesty, reliability, and the pride we take in every project. Many of our new customers come from word-of-mouth referrals — proof that quality work speaks for itself. We’re proud to serve local communities and honored to be invited into so many homes year after year.

Reason 8

High-Quality Materials and Finishes

Your floors should not only look beautiful on day one — they should stay that way for years to come. That’s why we use only premium finishes and coatings that are proven to withstand everyday wear and tear. We source trusted brands that offer both durability and eco-friendly performance. Whether we’re working with hardwood, laminate, vinyl, or engineered flooring, our materials are carefully selected for strength, longevity, and elegance. The result? Floors that age gracefully and add long-term value to your home.

Reason 9

Professionally Trained Crews

Our team is made up of highly trained craftsmen who share the same passion for precision and quality. Each project is completed by a small, efficient crew — usually two to three professionals — who coordinate every step with skill and attention. This team structure allows us to maintain quality control while ensuring your project is completed on time. Every technician is experienced, respectful, and dedicated to creating a perfect finish that reflects our company’s high standards.

Reason 10

We Love What We Do

At the end of the day, our work is driven by passion. We truly love the process of transforming old, tired floors into something beautiful again. Every project we complete is a reflection of our values — craftsmanship, honesty, and pride in our work. That passion shows in every detail, from the first sanding stroke to the final coat of finish. When you see your restored floors gleaming again, we want you to feel just as proud as we do.

We hired Mike to do a few different projects in my house. He has installed hardwood floors, repaired hardwood floors, stained existing hardwood, and even installed a basketball hoop for my son! Mike’s attention to detail, professionalism, and quality of work are exceptional. He also cleans up every spect of dust before he leaves. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and talented carpenter.

Mike is great to work with! The quality of his work is unmatched. I recently moved and Mike has been so helpful with all of the projects in my house – big and small!

Teri Ford

If you are looking for someone who can do high quality woodworking, Mike at MSTA Hardwood Flooring is the guy! He has excellent customer service skills and he is very detailed oriented. He did an amazing job with our stairs and he is very clean, which in my book is a huge plus, because we did not have to clean after him! I wish we found him sooner, before we refinished our floors on the first floor. He has my highest recommendations.

Monika Steffenson

Mike at MSTA recently completed a couple different projects for us at our business and home. Very professional, throughout the entire process!
He made sure to be clean and tidy during and upon completion for both jobs. I appreciate the attention to detail and quality of the work! I couldn’t be happier with the end results!
