Since 1965, Ralph's Hardwood Floors has been installing, sanding, and finishing hardwood floors throughout Wisconsin. From our humble beginnings to our current staff of 40 experienced team members, our history is as rich as the beautiful floors we install. Today we offer floors for any home or business, including sand-on-site floors, prefinished hardwood, and wood-look luxury vinyl. In 1965, Ralph Lorenz established Ralph's Hardwood Floors. Working out of his garage, Ralph took on projects that many wouldn't.

In 1965, Ralph Lorenz started Ralph's Hardwood Floors with a focus on refinishing floors. Now, after more than a half century of being in business, our goal is still the same - to take your old floors and make them look new. Today we combine innovative stains and finishes with the cutting edge technology of our Atomic Dust Containment trailers to create floors you could not even imagine. Watch your home be transformed as we refinish your existing floors without the dust associated with traditional sanding.
Wood is not the best choice for every lifestyle and environment. Over the past decade, luxury vinyl flooring has become so realistic looking that it can fool even us! Made out of a synthetic durable material, it lasts a lifetime, taking away the worry of durability and stability. At Ralph's we love Wood! But sometimes, the environment you have just isn't the right place for it. Luxury vinyl products allow you to overcome some important challenges you may face when thinking about new floors. The durable synthetic material luxury vinyl is made from creates a lifetime of beauty.

I cannot express how happy I am with the job Ralph’s did refinishing my floors- they are absolutely beautiful! I would also like to thank all of the workers that helped to make the transformation possible in my home, true craftsmen! No doubt that I will be recommending them to everyone.

Eight plus years ago we had Ralph’s strip and stain part of our then existing original flooring they did an amazing job! So, when it came time for installation of new hard woods for an addition put on by previous owners we knew who we were calling! Working with Kyle and the installation and prep team was one of the most pleasant experiences to date in our remodel job! Extremely professional and easy to work with! Love our finished product A+ to the whole experience!

Ralph’s Hardwood Floors is AMAZING! It’s a long story but I won’t get into the details... short version, we were referred to a company that does Sandless refinishing. They promised to coat our floors and NOT change the color as we LOVED the original color. Well, even though the sample provided showed no color change, this other company changed them orange 🙁. We were devastated. Cost to replace was quoted at $30k! A good friend told me to call Ralph’s and they might be able to save our floors. They did! Below are the floors originally, then turned orange by the other company, then saved and better than original color after Ralph’s worked their magic! You get what you pay for and Ralph’s will be the only company to ever touch floors in my homes again! Thank you guys and gals so much for making our dream home beautiful again!

Refinished large areas of hardwood in 1906 home. There were many unusual challenges—places where additions had been made and changes in some walls/floors over the years, thousands of nails, uneven spots. The crews came on time, contained about 90% of the dust, and worked with me to find exactly the right shade of rich darker mahogany to replicate the original—but more beautiful. They worked with multiple staff people and finished in four days as promised. Paul did my estimate and was exceptionally nice and thorough. Honestly, I was prepared to get an estimate twice as costly. So the price was more than reasonable. The results are beyond my expectations. Lovely gift to a great old house!!

We have white oak hardwood floors throughout the lower level of our log home. They were showing some serious wear and tear after 12 years of supporting four kids, a dog, and three cats. Ralph's did a fantastic job making them look like new again. Great expertise and professionalism!!

We purchased a home with yellowed, damaged floors this spring and Ralph's did amazing work in restoring and repairs! Our estimator took the time to explain options so we could make an informed decision. He took one look and was able to name the mill that produced the wood 15 years ago, and obtained matching hardwood from the same mill to repair and expand the hardwood throughout our open concept home. The crews showed up on time, and the work was completed on schedule with little dust. We highly recommend Ralph's!!!
