Hardwood Flooring in Chicago’s Western Suburbs
Installation, sanding and refinishing, custom hardwood floors, maintenance and specialty work for homes throughout West Chicago and the western suburbs.
Owner Tom Farquhar has worked in hardwood flooring since 2009 and stays personally involved in the work from planning through the finished result.
Start With What the Floor Actually Needs
New floors, worn floors and custom projects all require a different approach. These are the four services homeowners come to Craftsman for most often.
Hardwood Floor Installation
Solid, engineered, wide plank and site-finished hardwood installed with careful preparation, layout and attention to how the floor connects with the rest of the home.
View InstallationSanding & Refinishing
Remove worn finish, address surface wear, change the color direction when appropriate and build a fresh finished surface around the wood that is already there.
View Sanding & RefinishingCustom Hardwood Floors
Herringbone, chevron, parquet, custom borders, wide plank layouts and other floors where the layout itself becomes part of the room design.
View Custom HardwoodBuff & Coat
Refresh an existing finish and renew protection when the hardwood does not need to be fully sanded back to bare wood.
View Buff & CoatCraftsman also handles stairs, repairs, floor leveling, trim carpentry and other hardwood-related work.
View All ServicesThe Work Should Speak for Itself
Different homes call for different floors. These are real Craftsman projects showing the range of tone, layout and finished character.
One Project From Start to Finish
Stairs are one of the clearest examples of why preparation, layout and finishing all matter. The result has to connect naturally with the rest of the home.
Craftsman handles new stair work and refinishing, including treads, stain and finish direction, railings and transitions into adjoining hardwood.

The Name Is the Standard
Craftsman Hardwood Floors was built around a simple idea: hardwood work should still feel like a trade, not a production line.
Owner Tom Farquhar has worked in hardwood flooring since 2009 and founded Craftsman Hardwood Floors in 2020. Because the company stays hands-on, the person responsible for the finished result remains connected to the project from planning through completion.
The Finished Floor Matters, So Does the Experience
Customers regularly mention the same things: communication, attention to detail, honesty and a finished result they are proud to have in their home.
“Tom and his team did an amazing job sanding and refinishing our hardwood floors. We couldn't be happier with the finished product.”
“Not only is the final product absolutely beautiful, but Tom made the entire process feel easy and stress-free.”
“100% satisfied with my new floors. Tom is a pleasure to work with. He keeps you informed through every step of the process.”
Tell Us About Your Floors
You do not need to know exactly which service you need before reaching out. Start with the floor you have, what you want to change and what you want the finished space to feel like.
Craftsman can review the project from there and help determine whether the right direction is installation, sanding and refinishing, custom hardwood work, maintenance or another hardwood flooring service.
