Hardwood Flooring in Wood Dale
Hardwood has a way of making a home feel more “finished” the second it goes in. The step feels more solid, rooms connect better, and light hits the grain in a way that vinyl and carpet just can’t copy. At Nash Hardwood Flooring Co., hardwood flooring is the work we’re known for, installs, replacements, and refinishing, handled by a local crew that shows up prepared, communicates clearly, and treats your home like it’s our own.
​
We’ve installed and restored hardwood floors across Wood Dale, from older homes near Addison Rd to townhomes closer to Route 83, and busy main levels around Irving Park Rd. Some homes need subfloor tuning first. Others need a layout that stays perfectly straight through long hallways and open sightlines. Either way, we plan it carefully so your finished floor looks consistent and feels strong underfoot.
Some homeowners already know what they want, wide plank white oak, a natural tone, a low sheen finish. Others just want something that feels warm, durable, and easy to live with. Both are good starting points. We’ll help you choose the right direction and then build it the right way.
Why People Call Us for Hardwood Flooring
We’ve Seen It All
Hardwood doesn’t hide problems, it shows them. If the base isn’t flat, you’ll see it in the seams. If boards aren’t acclimated correctly, you’ll feel movement later. We account for Chicagoland’s humidity shifts, test moisture, secure the subfloor, and fix the little issues (squeaks, dips, awkward thresholds) that make the difference between “looks fine” and “feels right.”​
​
Built to Last
We work with dependable materials and proven finish systems, then install with the details that protect your investment: proper expansion spacing, clean edges, tight joints, and smart transitions into tile or carpet. Want full control over stain and sheen? Site finished is usually the move. Need faster turnaround and a tough factory coating? Prefinished can be a great fit. Either way, we build it to hold up.
Made Just for Your Home
Wood choice changes everything, so does grade, width, and sheen. We bring real samples so you can see undertones in your lighting, next to your cabinets and trim, not under showroom bulbs. The goal is a look that fits your home, not something that felt trendy for five minutes.
​
​
Clear, Straightforward Process
No vague promises and no disappearing acts. You’ll know what happens next, what the timeline looks like, and who’s showing up. Then we clean up properly when we’re done.

Our Hardwood
Flooring Process
We Stop By & Talk It Over
We walk the rooms, measure carefully, check moisture, and ask the practical questions that matter, kids, pets, sunlight, traffic patterns, and how you want the space to feel.
​
Pick the Right Style
We’ll go through options like red or white oak, maple, or engineered hardwood, narrow versus wide plank, site finished versus prefinished, and satin versus semi gloss. If stain is part of the plan, we test samples in your actual space so the color doesn’t surprise you later.
​
Prep the Base
A great hardwood floor starts underneath. We level where needed, tighten squeaks, and protect nearby rooms before installation begins. This is the part that keeps the floor feeling solid long term.
​
Install Day(s)
We set a clean layout, keep lines true, and lock everything in with tight joints and crisp transitions. If it’s site finished, we sand, stain, and seal with low odor options available. If it’s prefinished, we focus on precision and clean finishing details.
​
Walkthrough & Care Tips
We review every space with you, answer questions, and leave simple care guidance: approved cleaners, when furniture can come back, and recommended indoor humidity targets (about 35 to 55 percent) to help wood stay stable.

Wood Dale Homes, Chicagoland Weather
Between dry winters and humid summers, wood will move if you don’t respect the climate. We schedule acclimation correctly, recommend engineered hardwood where it makes sense, and use finish systems that hold up in bright rooms with heavy sun exposure. Homes near Irving Park Rd often need smart transitions and durability for daily traffic. Open layouts closer to Route 83 tend to need consistent tone and sheen across longer sightlines. We plan for those details from the start.
Site-Finished vs. Prefinished (Quick Guide)
Site Finished
A seamless look with custom stain control and a uniform sheen across the whole space. Best when you care about getting the exact tone right.
​
Prefinished
Faster install timelines and extremely durable factory coatings. Great when downtime is tight or you want maximum wear resistance.
