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!"

Decks, drywall, general repairs/handyman. Big, small, SHIR can do it all. Veteran and Family owned since 2017. We pride ourselves in customer service! COVID19...No trip or service fees to come out. We are prepared to run emergency handyman services during the COVID19 outbreak. Your local handyman company provides exceptional service, with even better craftsmanship. We have been in this industry for the past 15 years. We take pride in our work, and back it with excellent customer service. Taking care of our customers and protecting their home is our top priority.
"We had a terrible, stressful experience with Sexton Home Improvement and Repairs, Inc. We terminated their employment because they did not follow building code when working on our home. We are relieved that another company working on our home caught the violation. It is upsetting that the financial integrity and safety of our home was jeopardized. They also constructed a very unlevel subfloor that had to be corrected. Rather than acknowledge or apologize for this error, excuses were made saying that the new subfloor ¨matched¨ the outer edges of the existing floor. A properly built floor will be level from one end all the way to the other, not just on the outside edges. This is a basic expectation of good workmanship. We were disappointed that even after showing the Sextons multiple pictures of the unlevel floor, the messy releveling process, and paid receipts, they still denied it was unlevel. Additional problems with this company included contradictory time frames for job completion. This created a lot of confusion for us about the job scope and estimate. Additionally, receipts for the ¨approximated materials allowance¨ were never submitted to us. This was troubling as the job was not completed, and we had to purchase the remaining materials to finish the job. These faulty jobs cost us: extra money, extra time to correct, added mess and inconvenience plus loss of trust in their company. Their lack of communication before termination (over a week) also added to this loss of trust. We have worked with numerous companies in the past, and this is the first negative review we have posted. We believe it is important to share our experience and reasons for not recommending this company."

Replacing carpet with laminate flooring is worthwhile for many homeowners seeking improved durability and simplified maintenance. Laminate resists stains and wears better than carpet while offering a convincing wood-like appearance.
Households with allergy concerns often benefit from laminate's non-porous surface, which doesn't harbor dust mites or allergens like carpet fibers. Additionally, many homebuyers prefer hard surface flooring, potentially making your property more appealing when it's time to sell.
For a standard 12x12 room (144 square feet), laminate flooring installation costs between $432 and $1,872. This range accounts for varying material quality and installation complexity. The lower estimate represents basic laminate with straightforward installation, while the higher figure reflects premium materials or challenging installation conditions. Remember to factor in additional costs for carpet removal if needed.
A professional team can complete carpet removal and laminate installation in a standard-sized room within one to three days. The timeline extends if subfloor preparation is needed or if furniture relocation presents challenges. The complete process involves removing existing carpet, preparing the subfloor, installing underlayment, laying laminate planks, and finishing edges. DIY installations take longer, particularly for those without previous flooring experience.
