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!"

They installed a new oak vent to match the floor, and Chris spent extra time sealing the duct that feeds the vent. I recommend A Step Ahead, and will call them next time we need floors replaced or refinished."

"Home Repair Fraud. Theft by deception. We got a new floor and the installer said his brother was the field estimator and was authorized to remove the "Kitchen Cabinets"? We never wanted cabinets from a flooring company, But they targeted the owner because she is 91 years old and took them. Months later we got them back from the ex-con and hoodlum they sent to rob the owner totally destroyed and had to pay another $1300 to get them back. We feared for our safety because they wanted to know if the house was for sale and what types of cars we were driving. They prey upon the elderly. Do not use this company unless you have a criminal attorney on retainer. Stay away from DeSitter at all costs."

"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."

Carpet installations FAQs
Carpet padding is essential for extending your carpet’s lifespan. It acts as a protective barrier between your carpet and the subfloor, reducing friction and preventing premature wear. It also enhances underfoot comfort by absorbing impact and noise while protecting floorboards from damage. If you’re installing new carpets, investing in a quality pad improves comfort, durability, and performance.
How much carpet padding you need depends on the size of the room you're carpeting. Measure the length and width of the room and multiply those figures to get the square footage. Then, use the square footage to determine how much carpet pad you need to cover the room. It's a good idea to budget for 10% more overage than your calculations in case of mishaps during the installation.
The lifespan of carpet padding depends on the material used and the level of foot traffic it endures. Flat rubber padding can last for up to 20 years, while prime foam often needs to be replaced in less than five years. Worn padding affects your carpet’s comfort and support, so regular inspections help determine when it’s time for an upgrade.
You should replace your carpet padding when it no longer provides adequate support. Signs that it's time for a replacement include loss of springiness, visible lumps or dips, and a crinkly sound underfoot. Replacing the padding promptly preserves both comfort and the appearance of your carpet, helping to extend its lifespan and prevent premature wear.
