When new flooring, an older room and a staircase need to work together, DS Superior Hardwood Flooring Inc. offers installation, sanding, refinishing and stair work in Chicago and the suburbs. Its published process begins by looking at the existing floor and the space where the work will take place.

Solid and engineered hardwood installation

You can discuss solid or engineered planks, including wide white-oak flooring. The company describes checking the subfloor and moisture, acclimating new boards and planning the layout before installation.

Its service information also covers replacing damaged boards. Stain matching and on-site samples help you compare color choices in the lighting of your own room before selecting the finish.

Sanding and finishing existing floors

DS Superior identifies Festool dust-extraction equipment and LOBA finishing systems among the tools and products it uses. The published refinishing sequence involves removing the old finish, sanding the wood, applying sealer and adding finish coats.

The company provides project-specific guidance on when the floor can be walked on and when furniture can return. That guidance belongs to the chosen finish and actual work, rather than a single drying-time promise for every project.

Stair treads, handrails and balusters

Staircase work includes oak treads and nosing, handrails and black metal balusters. The company also describes sanding and refinishing existing treads so the staircase can be considered alongside the adjoining floors.

Its process concludes with a walkthrough of the finished rooms and steps. The gallery provides examples of floors, staircases and work in progress, while the Chicago-area service information identifies the region served without supplying a showroom street address.
