We are a dedicated team that provide high quality services on any type of wood flooring in Chicago: new installation or completely replacing, finishing, re-finishing, repairing, sanding, waxing and polishing. We work with any type of hardwood flooring materials, solid wood and engineered wood, any Style of wood floors: strip, plank and parquet.

"Several years ago, we needed new oak flooring installed in two large rooms and have the rest of the home's floors sanded and refinished. IC Custom Flooring did all of the work and the results are amazing. The new flooring blends perfectly with the old floor both in fit and color. The workmen were prompt, courteous and extremely skilled. They moved and replaced all of the furniture as needed and left the worksite spotless, and all at a very fair price. Recently, we changed the hearth on our living room fireplace which exposed a large patch of 58 year old flooring. Since the old flooring had never been refinished, it was discolored with age and not level with the surrounding floor. Once again we called IC Custom Flooring. A workman came out, and in just a few hours, he had sanded, leveled and finished the old floor which transformed a problem into an invisible repair. These guys are great. If your home needs floor work, do not hesitate to call IC Custom Hardwood Flooring. Ray E, Willowbrook, IL"

Modern Quality Flooring is Chicago's resource for affordable high quality flooring and installation. Honesty and hard work are our key differentiators from the competition because we understand that this is not only your house – it is your home. We will take all necessary steps to assure quick and quality work while working until YOU are satisfied with our service. We try to give our customers the best prices we can by negotiating with suppliers and purchasing roll specials so we stock better quality materials for a good price. We have a large selection of hardwood floor and stain colors available. No one has to wait for the flooring order to be delivered. Once the customer decides, we can deliver the next day.

"Danny and his entire team were very professional throughout the process. We just bought a house and we decided to replace the carpet upstairs with hardwood before moving in. The previous owners would not let us in until closing, so Danny met us at the house immediately after we closed to give us a final estimate, and his crew came the next day to carry wood upstairs and acclimate it. They exceeded our expectations by finishing the entire project before moving day (we thought we would have to sleep downstairs at first!) and they even fixed our stair railing and replaced the top stair riser before we moved in. Everyone was polite to me and accommodating when I needed to let other pros into our attic. After installation, we were concerned about the color of some of the hickory boards, and I voiced my concerns to Danny. (Hickory is mostly a reddish or blonde color, but a few boards had gray mottling on it--probably a natural variation, but it looked like damage to the untrained eye). Danny was great and offered to have his guys carefully replace 6 boards at no additional cost, just so that we would be happy with the outcome. They did a great job and I can barely tell which boards have been replaced, even if I get down on the floor. Danny also had them restain the stair riser to better match the existing floor, even though I hadn't asked. All in all, we are very pleased and we love the floors."

Our carpet store has served Chicago, Evanston and the surrounding suburbs for more than 40 years. We offer a full mobile service to your home. We focus in new carpet and pad sales and installation, we do not offer carpet repair or restretching service. Because we are the distributor and the installer, we are able to provide high quality flooring at the best prices.

"I am so pleased with the help that we received from American Carpet Distributors! We had a burst pipe in our basement that got our carpet and padding wet. We had to throw out the padding but managed to save the carpet. Larry responded so quickly and was so easy to work with. He stopped by the house the same day I called him and took measurements to replace the carpet padding. A couple days later he sent out a very friendly and hardworking crew to replace the padding and lay our old carpet on top. It looks and feels brand new. I am so pleased that he was so promp to help. I feel like he was so fair in his pricing and that he wasn't pushy to sell me things I didn't need. The other carpet companies I called would only do the job if I bought new carpet (which I didn't need) or had a high minimum job payment. Larry saw that we really needed our basement back to working order and quickly helped us get that back. I am very satisfied and grateful!"

FAQs for laminate wood or stone flooring installation projects in Aurora, IL

Pergo® flooring includes a durable wear layer that helps resist everyday scratches and scuffs. While the coating stands up well to foot traffic, pets, and sliding furniture, no floor is completely scratch-proof. Adding felt pads to furniture legs, sweeping regularly, and keeping pet nails trimmed will further protect the finish and minimize minor marks.

With routine cleaning and prompt spill cleanup, most Pergo® floors last 15 to 25 years. The company backs many of its product lines with a 10-year residential warranty that covers wear, staining, and water damage under regular use. Following the manufacturer’s installation and care guidelines is essential—improper maintenance can shorten the floor’s life span and void the warranty.

If your Pergo ®planks include an attached foam layer, you often only need a separate vapor barrier over the concrete. Products without built-in padding require a compatible underlayment and a moisture barrier, both of which must be installed according to the brand’s instructions. The extra layer cushions the floor, reduces sound, and helps control moisture.

Several Pergo® flooring collections feature a watertight joint design that keeps spills from seeping between the planks. When the flooring is installed correctly and spills are promptly wiped up, these products provide reliable water protection—even at the bevels. Professional installation helps keep seams tight and preserves the warranty for lasting protection.

Thanks to its reinforced wear layer, many Pergo® lines outperform standard laminate or vinyl, resisting light scratches and abrasions. Heavy impacts or dragging sharp objects can still leave marks; therefore, protective pads and routine cleaning are essential. Checking the product’s AC rating will give you a clearer sense of how it will hold up in a busy home.

When installed and maintained correctly, both Pergo® luxury vinyl and laminate planks can last up to 25 years. Thinner sheet-style vinyl may wear out more quickly, especially in areas with high moisture content. Evaluating the thickness of the wear layer and following the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations will help either product reach its full life expectancy.
