What affects the price

When you start looking at new floors, the final bill depends on a few specific things. The biggest factor is the type of material you pick—hardwood, tile, or luxury vinyl all have different price points. You also have to think about the size of the area, how much prep work the subfloor needs, and whether you are removing old flooring first. Complex patterns or tight corners can add labor hours, which shifts the total. We can help you break down the numbers, with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Chicago

What is the best flooring for the money in Chicago?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1-3 rule' is a general guideline suggesting that roughly one-third of your flooring budget should be allocated to materials and two-thirds to installation. This ratio can vary based on the complexity of the job and the chosen flooring. The specialists can offer a more precise breakdown for your wood floor refinishing project.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank flooring excels in water resistance, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms in Chicago homes. Laminate offers a realistic wood appearance and is often a more economical choice. The pros can help you determine the best fit for each room based on moisture and traffic levels.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood remain highly popular in Chicago for their durability and aesthetic appeal.
