I could write a whole essay about Octavian and his team but I will just say that they are absolutely fantastic and I could not recommend them enough. Thank you Octavian and team!

Octavian and his team did a great job replacing floors in my condo. Octavian helped me choose the floors and I’m glad I chose one of his recommendations. Love my new floors. Thank you

Octavian did a great job on a full sand & refinish of ~1800 sq ft of oak hardwood floors. Great customer service -- I was a very high maintenance client and Octavian had no problems involving me in the process with daily updates on everything which was being done. At the end of the project, he personally went through and took care of some minor touch-ups which were overlooked. In addition, he had a painter come in and repaint the baseboard, and a couple walls which had markings from the refinishing at no additional charge. Would highly recommend.

Chicago Flooring Innovations did wonderful work on our flooring job in our new home! We had about 2000 sq feet of hardwood that we wanted refinished. They were very professional and were able to fit us into their schedule last minute. They worked hard to complete the job in a very specific time frame so it would be ready for our move-in date. Thanks so much for helping to make our house into a home!

Must use Octavian when contacting the Company. He is Very Professional; Very Knowledgeable; and Offers Very Competitive Pricing. Octavians' efforts ensured that the project was done on schedule and within budget.

Prompt, excellent work and clean up following the completion was good. I am planning on hiring them again for some replacement this summer.

Octavian and his tam did a great job taking my beveled oak floor into the modern era. They worked with very thin veneers to produce an amazing whitewashed look. It really opened up our space and gives the apartment a completely new look. His team showed up on time and consulted with us in advance of any issues that arose. He is a pleasure to work with.

I hired Octavian to refinish the floors in my newly purchased spec home. The floors were so poorly done we didn't have a choice but to spend the money. If you're looking for a cheap , ok job please look elsewhere. Octavian is a master of his craft and truly takes pride in his work. He explained his process thoroughly and the reasons for each step. He also uses superior sanders and finishes. I had done a lot of research and what he said matched with what I had read. He patiently provided me with many stain samples. I could not be happier with my floors. He communicates well and promptly through phone calls and texts. I do not hesitate to recommend him.

Octavian and his team did an outstanding job staining and refinishing our red oak floors. We selected Chicago Flooring Innovations because of Octavian's attention to detail and expertise. He clearly explained the refinishing process, highlighted areas of the floor that might cause problems and explained options to best address those problem areas. He went out of his way to ensure the end result was exactly what we wanted. We could not be happier with the final product and would recommend him to family and friends.

Comment from Chicago Flooring Innovations:

Thank you for your kind review, Patrick. It was a pleasure working for you!

David McBride

Love the new floors. Exactly what I wanted. Installed perfectly. The only complaint, and hence the 4 star rating is that parts of the floorboards in the corners didn't get sanded perfectly and are a bit rough.

Kelly Cornelis

Octavian and his team did an amazing job refinishing our hard wood floors, which another contractor had botched. They perfectly matched the color and finish we were looking for, we friendly, courteous and clean and just a pleasure to work with. They communicated everything perfectly and we couldn't be happier with the floors and how they are holding up with two young kids and a dog. Highly recommend!

Commented: Stain used?Hello Sarah, The floors had been finished with a clear, matte, waterbased floor finish from Loba. The lack of sheen diminishes the redness to a certain extent, because of the lack of reflection.

Commented: WHAT STAIN AND FINISH???Hi Mary, Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it. The floors are Red Oak, finished with Varathaae Kona and Loba Supra Water Based floor finish.
