Flooring in Arlington Heights

“I have completed several projects in the past two years and have also cooperated with several companies. In comparison, the most recent cooperation with Chano (A Plus Decorating) made me feel the most satisfied! They definitely deserve 5 stars. Their professionalism and service are impeccable. Professional, meticulous and patient work ensures high-quality completion. Other companies only have a one-year labor warranty, while their team provides a two-year labor warranty. What's more, their prices are very reasonable! In my opinion, they are doing things with heart and managing their company brand image with heart. There are very few companies like this! I believe they will become stronger and stronger in the future. Highly recommend A Plus Decorating.“

“Giant Painters is awesome. They came highly recommended from close friends and they did not disappoint. Each kitchen cabinet door and drawer was removed and refurbished off site. Additionally the frames, countertops and floors were covered meticulously prior to sanding and painting.The craftsmanship and professionalism displayed by Giant was outstanding and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product.“

“As a general contractor I've had the pleasure of working with Andrea for the last 2 years. She is a consummate professional and makes sure every project goes smoothly.“

“They came back again!!

Sam and Sal did an awesome job for us! Genuinely nice guys too!

We used them to install oak flooring in our home office then hired them again to install another oak floor in our family room in addition to sanding and refinishing the rest of our oak flooring throughout our home.

They took tremendous care of our home and all of the furniture that they moved for us. Our home was spotless every day they finished work.The attention to detail is so appreciated. Pride in their work showed every single day! ❤

Thank you gentlemen!“

“We had a great experience working with Sławek for our flooring. From the start, he was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We really appreciated how he presented the options. His selection had a great variety of styles and quality choices, which made it easier to find something that truly fit our home.

What stood out the most was his patience. It took us several days to make a final decision, and he never rushed us or made us feel pressured. He gave us the time and space we needed, which we really appreciated.

Now that the flooring is installed, we couldn’t be happier with the quality. It looks amazing and feels like a great investment in our home.

We highly recommend Sławek to anyone looking for flooring. Thank you again!“

“Luke and his team installed my hardwood floors, and did an excellent job. They give me fair estimate and once scheduled they took about four days to complete the project. They were very professional, efficient and did a great job cleaning up after. Great company.“

“I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled we are with the work Tom and his team performed for us. We contacted five or six contractors for a remodel of the kitchen with a changed layout (removal of a dining room) plus reflooring of the entire first floor and changing out the vanity in the powder room, and Tom was the only one who immediately understood our vision, took a collaborative approach to the walkthrough, and pushed back on a thought we had about layout. Others did what we asked for in their estimates, but Tom did what we needed in the estimate.

After selecting Tom to go forward, he took us to work with Lauren at Studio 41 in Schaumburg, and it was very clear they had worked together a bunch and had a common language and vision between them. Her layout of our kitchen was amazing, and the materials she helped select for the cabinets and countertops were absolutely perfect. She even designed a “drop zone” bench and upper cabinet for our entryway, because we’d mentioned we wanted to at least reduce the large closet that penned in our entryway. It’s amazing, and opens up the space so much.

Then he had us work with Denise at The Tile Shop in Lake Zurich, and they both reassured us about the quality and reliability of the products we selected. We ended up with vinyl plank flooring for the whole first floor, a tile for the entryway, and tile for the backsplash in the kitchen. Again, clearly they had worked together and were great about balancing quality and affordability, just like with Lauren.

It was time to start the work. Tom and his team of Martin as construction lead and Andrew and Andrew (not a typo) as craftsmen were great throughout. Because as least one of us was home as they worked, if they had questions or ideas on how to do things different or better, we were right there to figure it out with them or agree with their suggestions. It went amazingly smoothly. That’s not to say it was without those sorts of things that always pop up, but rather that they came up with solutions or consulted us through decisions when needed.

We were so thrilled as they made recommendations and offers to improve the solution, like removing the old toilet paper holder and patching that wall. There had once been a medicine cabinet in that bath, but was last covered up by just a mirror. Instead of hanging the new mirror over the gaping hole as the last remodelers had, they fully patched that hole, as it should have been. This and others were not about an upsell moment, but rather making the solution as right as it should be. Tom was by just about every day, which was so reassuring and very helpful for when bumps in the road came up - nothing slowed down progress.

The time estimate that was given was 6-8 weeks in duration, with variability built in for the Christmas and New Year holidays plus a buffer in case there were any issues. We came in right between the 7- and 8-week mark after that buffer was taken up with accommodation for them to finish up some straggling decisions on another project, as well as start on another small project quicker because of the timing of delivery of some appliances we’d ordered. And of that time, the last 10 days was relatively light with bursts of activity, allowing us to move back into spaces in the kitchen as they were completed, like the upper cabinets and pantry, while waiting on the countertop to arrive (a natural, built-in constraint - cabs have to all be in place before the countertop can be measured). Oh, and Karl was great with the countertop - even with a couple of curves, he nailed it!

Between Tom’s expertise, an excellent team of designers and craftspeople, strong attention to detail, and never, ever feeling like we were being sold or pushed into anything, this experience was absolutely the best this level of work could have been. We cannot recommend Tom strongly enough.“

“Helpful staff. Good selection. A couple of the boxes seemed like the manufacturer threw in all the small pieces. But we made it work.“

“Got our hardwoods refinished through RFS after putting it off for years. The old finish was worn down to bare wood in the high traffic spots and I figured it was time. They handled the whole job including moving our furniture out of the rooms before they started. Took about four days total with the drying time between coats. Floors feel smooth underfoot now and the color is a bit warmer than before which we actually prefer.“

“Mike did a phenomenal job installing our floors. He always answered any questions I had and was extremely friendly. Mike is extremely hardworking and got the job done in only a few days, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Mike is the only one I will call to work on the floors in my house going forward.“

“The crew from Mario Flooring are the real deal. They took oir floors to whole new level with craftsmanship. Professional, easy to communicate with, and they got the job done on time. Our floors look incredible, and we're super happy with whole expierience. Mario flooring is the way to go for“

“Jim the owner did a Spectacular Job installing & finishing my hardwood flooring. Excellent craftsmship.“
