Your floor is a part of your house that every family member uses every single day, so it should be high quality not only from a functional stand point, but also in appearance.

• Hardwood flooring
• Tile flooring
• Laminate flooring

For appearance, nothing quite compares to a natural hardwood floor. Hardwood has been used to create beautiful floors for centuries, and it will always be in style. Hardwood is available in red oak, white oak, hickory, cherry, walnut and other species of wood.

Aside from the elegant look it adds to a room (or an entire home), there are other more practical considerations that make hardwood a good choice here in Chicago, IL. It is durable (most come with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer), and the maintenance on hardwood is pretty simple (use the proper vacuum, clean up liquid spills quickly, and don’t drag furniture on the floor). In addition, hardwood flooring is extremely hypo-allergenic because pet hair, dust and other things are easily swept from the surface.

Another option is tile flooring. A big advantage of tile is that it is very resistant to stains. For families with small children, this gives tile a big advantage over other floor types (especially carpet). The tile comes from the manufacturer with a glazed coating followed by at least one layer of sealant, so anything that get spilled won’t get through to the tile material itself. Tile is also extremely durable. You and your family could walk on your tile floors for many years and it would show virtually no signs of wear. Should a tile get chipped, repairs are handled easily with a bit of epoxy, paint and sealant.

When purchasing tile, it’s a good idea to get a few extra tiles so that you have them available a few years down the road, should one of your tiles crack or otherwise need to be replaced. With a few spares, you will have an exact match for the replacement. You can’t plan ahead that way with other types of flooring; tile has the unique advantage in that aspect.

We also sell and install laminate flooring. With laminate, you get the advantage of having your floors look like genuine hard wood, but without the cost that comes with wood. Laminate is basically made up of a hard base, such as particle board. On top of that base is a layer that is actually a photograph of hard wood – that’s why it looks just like wood. The photo layer is covered by a transparent layer to protect the photo and the underlying wood from denting and other damage.

Laminate tends to be more durable than genuine hardwood, and it’s a good option for locations where moisture might present a problem for wood (such as a basement). If you are a homeowner and you want to improve the look of a room, or your entire home, laminate flooring is a good way to do that without having to spend a lot of money.
