North Shore ChicagoHardwood, by handEst. 2014
Owner-led hardwood installation, sanding and refinishing, finished by the same hands that quote it. No salespeople, no subcontractors, no red tape.
The Plus Hardwood difference
From the first email to the final coat, you work directly with Patrick Dymora — owner, installer, and finisher. The person who prices your project is the person sanding your floors. That's why our clients write about weekend replies and floors that come out exactly the way they hoped.
New solid and engineered hardwood, laid plank by plank — White Oak, Red Oak, Ash, and exotic species, custom patterns and borders included.
Bringing tired, scratched, or dated floors back to life. Dust-contained sanding, color matching, and a finish chosen for how you actually live.
Water damage, board replacement, seamless patch-ins, and floor correction — fixes that disappear into the original floor.
Selected work
Finish systems
Zero-VOC hardwax oil. Cures fast, almost no odor, and spot-repairs without re-sanding the whole floor. Our go-to for occupied homes and high-rises.
Oil and water-based systems with deep, durable build — proven for high-traffic family homes that need to take a beating and still look right.
Fast-return water-based finish for condos and buildings with strict timelines and low-odor requirements.
Two-component commercial-grade finish for the floors that have to last decades, not seasons.

About Patrick
Patrick Dymora started Plus Hardwood to do one thing the way it should be done: floors, by hand, by the owner. His work has been featured on the cover of Wood Floor Business, and he's an active member of the National Wood Flooring Association — but the credential that matters most is that he's the one who shows up.
"Patrick is efficient and professional. He was very responsive to my emails and worked over the weekend to complete my floors."
