Hardwood Flooring in Addison
Hardwood floors do more than make a room look finished—they change how your home feels every single day. The sound underfoot, the way light rolls across a satin finish in the afternoon, how rooms flow when transitions are tight…that’s the stuff we obsess over. At Nash Hardwood Flooring Co., hardwood is what we do—installations, replacements, and refinishing—done by a local Addison crew that measures twice, communicates clearly, and cleans up like we were never there.
​
We’ve worked in all kinds of homes across Addison and DuPage County—older split-levels near Green Meadows Park, townhomes by the Itasca border, busy family kitchens off Lake Street, and newer builds closer to Glendale Heights. Subfloors that need tuning, hallways that demand straight, centered runs, rooms that flood with sun—we’ve seen it, planned for it, and delivered results that hold up.​​
Some homeowners come to us with a specific look in mind—wide-plank white oak, soft natural stain, low-sheen finish. Others say, “Make it warm and durable,” and lean on our guidance. Either way works. Our job is to turn your ideas into floors that feel solid and look consistently great for years.
Why People Call Us for Hardwood Flooring
We’ve Seen It All
Floors tell the truth. If a subfloor isn’t flat, seams won’t sit right. If acclimation is rushed, boards move. We plan for Chicagoland’s humidity swings, level and secure the base, and make the little fixes (squeaks, dips, transitions) that add up to a floor you notice—in a good way.
​
Built to Last
We use dependable mills and finish systems, then install with the details that matter: proper moisture testing, expansion planning, tight seams, and clean edges. Choose site-finished for custom stain control or prefinished for faster timelines and tough factory coatings—both are built to go the distance.
Made Just for Your Home
Species, grade, plank width, and sheen change the mood of a room. We bring real samples, show how tones shift in your lighting, and help you pick a look that matches your cabinets, trim, and daily life.

​
Clear, Straightforward Process
You’ll always know what’s happening next. No disappearing acts, no vague timelines. From the first walkthrough to the final cleanup, we keep communication simple and honest.
Our Hardwood
Flooring Process
We Stop By & Talk It Over
We walk the space, take accurate measurements, check moisture, and learn how you live—kids, pets, sunlight, traffic.
​
Pick the Right Style
We lay out options: red/white oak, maple, or engineered; narrow vs. wide plank; site-finished vs. prefinished; satin vs. semi-gloss. We’ll sample stains in your actual lighting so there are no surprises.
​
Prep the Base
Great floors sit on a great foundation. We handle subfloor leveling, squeak fixes, and protection for adjacent rooms. This is where long-term quality is won.
​
Install Day(s)
Boards go in with tight seams and clean lines. If site-finished, we sand, stain, and seal with low-VOC options available. If prefinished, we focus on layout precision and crisp transitions into tile or carpet.
​
Walkthrough & Care Tips
We review every room with you, answer questions, and leave simple maintenance steps (what to clean with, when to move furniture back, humidity targets).

Addison Homes, Chicagoland Weather
If you live here, you know: winters are dry, summers are humid, and floors move if you don’t respect the climate. We build for that—from proper acclimation windows to recommending engineered cores where they make sense, and finishes that stand up to bright, south-facing rooms. Older homes near Centennial Park often benefit from subfloor tuning and sound control; newer open plans need consistent stain and sheen across big sightlines. Either way, we make sure your hardwood looks right and stays that way.
Site-Finished vs. Prefinished (Quick Guide)
-
Site-Finished: Seamless edges, custom stain control, and a classic, “all-of-a-piece” look. Great when you want the exact tone and sheen.
-
Prefinished: Faster installs, clean micro-bevel edges, and extremely durable factory coatings. Ideal when downtime is tight or you want maximum wear resistance.
