I recently purchased a studio in Downtown Chicago and hired Creative Floors to remove my old flooring (carpet + tile) and install new LVP flooring that I had purchased myself. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Johnny, the owner, was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and flexible with scheduling. During the initial assessment, the team listened carefully to my ideas and concerns and offered thoughtful solutions. They even custom-matched and installed a broken baseboard piece and supplied quarter rounds I didn't have--they went above and beyond what I expected. The project was completed efficiently in two days, and the crew was detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and respectful of my condo's HOA guidelines. They were patient as I worked through approvals and logistics, and they did a great job cleaning up both my unit and common areas. I'm extremely happy with the quality of the workmanship and overall service. Creative Floors delivers excellent results at competitive prices, and I would highly recommend Johnny and his team for any flooring project. read more

My wife and I shopped around before choosing Creative Floors, and we're so glad we did. Johnny, the owner, helped us develop a cost-effective plan that perfectly fit our needs. Throughout the entire process, he was responsive, professional, and always available to answer our questions or address any concerns. We hired Creative Floors to install vinyl flooring on our second floor, along with new baseboards and shoe molding. We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that updating our staircase railing fit within our budget. The result is beautiful new flooring and a stunning stained railing with iron spindles. The transformation has been incredible. It truly feels like we have a new home. The difference is immediately noticeable when you walk through the front door. I would highly recommend Creative Floors to anyone looking for quality workmanship, great service, and excellent value. read more

Creative Floors did an excellent job. I had 3 other quotes and Creative Floors not only the most knowledgeable, but also beat the price of all the other companies. My questions were answered with very specific details. Johnny and his team were great to work with from start to finish. It was a smooth process- Communication, punctuality, and the time and attention to all the little details installing the new flooring. They also did my trim work and it came out beautifully. I'm very happy with their craftsmanship. They even moved my stove, fridge, and took out the 2 toilets and then reinstalled everything when they were finished. The crew cleaned up really nice, they were polite and respectful of our home, and they checked in with us throughout the process to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The quality of the flooring we had put in is excellent and I know it will last for a very long time. I'm pleased that we went with Creative Floors Inc and we'll only go to them from now on if we ever want anything else done in our home in the future. Thank you so much! read more

I would not recommend this company. Poor project management. Hard to communicate with workers.

I'm a detail-oriented (okay, picky) homeowner, so choosing the right flooring company was a big deal for me--especially because I was working with a very tight deadline. Creative Floors not only met my expectations... they completely surpassed them. The entire process was unbelievably easy. Ordering was straightforward, pricing was transparent, and Johnny wasted no time getting my condo measured. Their responsiveness alone sets them apart--every question I had was answered quickly, and the scheduling was handled like clockwork. When installation day came, Jose and the rest of the team were fantastic. Professional, efficient, respectful of my space, and clearly skilled at what they do. They got everything done within my narrow timeline without cutting corners, and the finished floors look phenomenal. If you want beautiful flooring, stress-free service, and a team that genuinely delivers on their promises, look no further. Huge thanks to Johnny, Jose, and the entire Creative Floors crew for making this project so smooth and successful. I couldn't be happier with the results. read more

We are incredibly happy with the work Johnny and his team at Creative Floors did in our new home. Initially, we reached out to Creative Floors to install pre-purchased engineered hardwood on our second floor. From our first communication, Johnny was quick to respond and very informative. He promptly scheduled an appointment for in-home measurement and our estimate which Adam attended. Adam was very kind and informative. During the appointment, I raised interest in potentially replacing our basement carpets with LVP. He explained the quality of flooring that we should be looking for and offered to show us samples he had with him. We were very impressed with the quality and price point of the LVP, so we also received a quote for product + install of our basement. Adam also helped us figure out transition pieces and vent covers for the upstairs project since we could not order an exact match from the floor store we bought the Engineered Hardwood from. Johnny promptly provided us with a quote that was very clear and reasonable. He was able to send a crew to our house on our requested date to begin both projects. The crew arrived every day on time, stayed late, and worked very efficiently. Everyone that came through the house was very kind and respectful. When the project wrapped, I was expecting there to be a mess from all of the boxes and dust. Nope! The crew left our floors cleaner than when they came in!! Now, we have beautiful basement and upstairs flooring thanks to Creative Floors. I have already recommended this company to family members, and I can't wait to use Creative Floors again on future home projects. Thank you to Johnny and Creative Floors for all of your hard work!! read more

Truly gave our stairs a glow up! Johnny was very responsive regarding the initial estimate and quickly addressed any concerns or questions we had throughout the process. I was able to design every aspect of our new staircase including stain and paint color. His team worked all day for pretty much an entire week and cleaned up after themselves everyday. We are very happy with our beautiful new stairs! read more

We had our second floor redone in our home. We wanted to have carpet removed and match hardwood on our first floor. We were on a tight deadline with baby coming next month.

Could not be happier with the floors and leveling. He is very responsive and corrects any concerns you may come across. Thank you Johnny! read more

Johnny and his crew did a great job replacing our old carpet and flooring with brand new luxury vinyl. He was very knowledgeable in the estimate and quote and helped us choose a flooring type that would work well with our two large dogs and be waterproof and scratch resistant. The installation team worked quickly and professionally to replace our entire downstairs in a day. They were polite and friendly and did a great job cleaning up as well. I would definitely recommend Creative Floors. read more

My reason to use this service was bc my floor was installed improperly. It was not pushed together at the seam. So I requested to have those gaps filled, so the gaps weren't so obvious. So the floor was sanded, the gaps were filled with floor putty And the whole floor was stained and finished with a water based sealant. Result: The floor was sanded (unevenly). Gaps became even more obvious with the putty they used (wood putty used does not stay in gaps, not pushed in all of the way). Floor was stained and sealed (finishing scratches easily, comes off or stains instantly) I reached out several times with my concern. Each time I was gaslighted and blamed for the issue. Even though I took care of the floor properly. Recorded and documented all of the issues, And communicated my concerns. And nothing was attempted to be fixed. End result, I had to hire someone else to fix what was disfigured. It saddens and frustrates me, that I had to go through this experience. read more

The carpet on our stairs was starting to tear from our pups running up and down them, so we started looking into getting it replaced with something low pile / high durability. Fortunately, we met Johnny who guided us through the process of what to look for and let us take a bunch of samples from his showroom to bring home. Several other companies were trying to get me to sign a contract on the spot, but Johnny never tried any tacky sales tactics on me or my wife. The estimation process was very efficient, measuring out exactly what they needed. Once we decided on the product, Johnny was in constant communication with us on material order, delivery, and installation (two weeks total end-to-end). This is the only company I'll deal with in the future for flooring needs, highly recommended! Best, Charlie read more

We were very happy with the work we received from Creative Floors. They refinished our existing hardwood floors and put in a wood floor in our family room. They were well staffed, timely, and ready to start when we were ready. We would highly recommend them! read more

The crew did a beautiful job sanding and restaining our hardwood floors throughout our 2400 sq ft ranch home. They moved all the furniture to the garage, removed all the doors and did a beautiful job. The floors look brand new. Then, when ready, they moved all the furniture back. They were so respectful and careful with everything they did. The crew cleaned every day and were always available for questions. The work ethic of Johnny, Adam and the whole crew is what I would like to see with anyone I hire to do a job. You can tell they care. In addition, the price was very competitive and reasonable. Already referred to two friends. read more

Creative Floors - Foyer floor - Flooring Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

We hired Creative Floors, Inc. to install hardwood flooring on our second floor and carpet on the stairs. What started as a normal home improvement project turned into one of the most stressful experiences we've had. During the process, about 10 boxes of flooring went missing from our home. The contract clearly stated that all materials were paid by us and that any leftover flooring would not be refunded, meaning those extras should have stayed with us. When we asked about it, we received several different explanations from the company, which made things even more confusing. After requesting to pause the work and verify materials, communication broke down. The project was left unfinished -- the trim work and stair carpet were never completed, even though most of the contract had already been paid. This was supposed to be a straightforward project, but it became a very disappointing experience. Based on what we went through, I would not recommend this company. read more

We've worked with Johnny and the team at Creative Flooring on two separate homes and have been extremely happy with the results both times. What stood out to us was how friendly and professional everyone was, along with their strong attention to detail. Johnny gave helpful advice on everything from floor direction to stain color, and the crew showed solid craftsmanship throughout the projects. Their pricing was fair, and they were flexible with our timeline. In 2020, they installed white oak flooring in our 1922 four-square home--it looked great and held up amazing. We often commented on how much we loved it. More recently, in 2024/25, they refinished and installed red oak floors in our 1891 farmhouse. We had a tight schedule, and the team started right after closing and even finished ahead of time. Johnny also helped us land on a stain color that closely matched the floors from our previous home. They also installed LVP and carpet, both of which turned out great. read more

Update: Floor is noisy again and carpet buckles in several places. Called several times for corrective service, but the problem was never fixed fully, and ultimately I was told my warranty was up and it must be the carpet. What I said about initially working with Johnny is true, but the issues with the floor and the carpet are also true. read more

We hired Johnny and his crew to do the flooring in our new home earlier this year and were highly disappointed. When we fielded estimates, Johnny was middle of the pack in pricing but he seemed knowledgable and gave advice on what we should have done. However, we started seeing issues once the floors were getting "finished." We came in after the initial staining/sanding and found that the workers set the AC to 59 degrees, empty/partially empty plastic bottles strewn across our kitchen floor, and a decomposing banana peel on our master bathroom vanity. Johnny apologized and said one of his guys was less experienced, etc. We then noticed issues with the actual finish of the floors because of chatter marks and dishout that we were seeing. Johnny then starts telling us he's been doing this for years and never had these problems (even though he just told us his guys messed up), that we should have said we wanted "furniture finished floors" (i.e. flat floors), and that his guys did an amazing job and he cannot see the problems we were pointing out (we ended up getting other companies out that explicitly contradicted what he was saying). When we started fielding other quotes to finish the job he started, I realized that the initial estimate he provided did not have any specific dollar amounts to the itemized work, so funny how when I requested it that it took some additional time and certain issues were weighted more (such as charging out almost $500 to remove a vanity, mirror and toilet from our half bath that we were quoted less than $100 from other contractors). He then went on a spiel about how he was a good Christian and that he would never do something like that and that he has three kids that he needs to feed, and eventually posturing himself for a mechanics lien against our property with veiled threats. As we've lived in the house, we've definitely noticed more issues with imperfections in boards (staple marks), creaky flooring in some parts of the home, etc. Unfortunately, with a new child on the way, we decided to bite the bullet and just get it over with and hire someone else to do the work at a later date. If you decide to go with Johnny, I recommend you get a very detailed estimate (showing pricing on everything), apparently tell him you want "furniture finish" floors if you want flat floors, and don't let Ionut Sas pressure you into accepting less than acceptable work. Edit: Looks like Johnny is upset. read more

We had a great experience with Creative Floors. They are very professional and know what they are doing. We have tow little children and one of them was sick and was kept home in addition to a barker dog however, they did amazing job with a lot of barriers and limits. We had 2.25" hardwood in most part of our first floor except the family room, entrance and office! They changed the floor to match with the rest of the floor and stained them all with a darker color.I recommend them 100%. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It is such a pleasure doing business with a company that takes pride in their work. I got three quotes. Creative Floors was very competitive with their pricing and I liked their solution to our different heights of floors that needed to be resolved so there was no transition between the different rooms. Their reviews online were excellent, so we chose them and we are so happy we did. Adam was here during the week to measure the job, bring samples, and took all my needs into consideration. He was an intent listener and heard what I had to say. He also was distressed to see the job that had previously been done on the trim work didn't include base shoe. He said it was unprofessional to have left it like that. That was done prior to our purchasing the home and one of the things that I did bother me too. I received the quote that night. My husband and I went to the store on Saturday to look at other vinyl wood samples just to ensure we had exactly what we wanted for the living area of our ranch and changed up the carpet choice we had for the basement bedroom. Johnny, the store owner, helped us through to make our final decisions. Because we had an enormous amount of base shoe and also baseboard needed for the basement they delivered all that two weeks prior to install so we could paint it before they put it in. Very much appreciate them accommodating that request. On our day of install, Orlando (crew leader) and his two nephews showed up on time with smiles their faces and went to work. HOLY SMOKES did those men work! They were focused, professional, respectful, accommodating, talented, and quiet. When I say quiet, I mean no yelling, swearing, loud music, arguing, nothing. They worked together cohesively and put their noses to the grindstone for hours on end. They worked 8 am - 5 pm day one. They left my house in a condition to be able to watch TV, get to the refrigerator, bedrooms, and garage. Everything else was under construction, but it was also picked up of their tools and debris. So considerate and accommodating to us! Day 2 they were here before 8 am, but didn't enter my house until 8 am when I told them to start. I had to chuckle to myself. I told them they could come in, but they waited until 8 am and started. Day 2 they worked themselves to the bone from 8 am - 7 pm. So much progress was made and everything was looking beautiful! Again, the house was picked up with their tools tucked away and no debris on the floors for us to trip on. Day 3 they arrived around 8:45 am - 11:45 am to finish all the fine delicate work. They put my house back in order where everything belonged, dusted the bigger pieces of furniture, and then cleaned their work area in the garage and driveway. When I say clean, I mean CLEAN! They vacuumed my garage floor, blew my car off with pressurized air, and then blew the sawdust out of the cracks in my driveway. Every nail, piece of wood, and rag was picked up and hauled away. One would never know they were here except I had new floors! We had two plumbing SNAFU's that happened in the bathroom that were not their fault. This is an older home and when one gets into a project, there are unforeseen things that rear their ugly head when you tear stuff apart. I am grateful they told me about them so that I could get the plumber here to repair. I appreciate their honesty and work ethic so very much! I am happy as a clam and highly recommend them for your flooring needs. Thank you Adam, Johnny, Orlando and crew! You are true professionals and I value everything about how you conduct business! read more

This was my first time hiring a company to refinish or install flooring. In this case a little bit of both. I selected creative floors because of the confidence I got when speaking with the owner, Johnny. Never felt rushed or pressured to do anything and ended up making my selections over a couple of weeks. The crew was in and out for my job in about 1 week with three or so guys working throughout the day. They were also very patient with my stain selection. Overall the final quality is great and exactly what I was looking for. Any minor issues were resolved timely. The only thing that I would recommend you inquire about, as I did not do to my lack of experience with this kind of work, is the cleanup of the dust and the retouching up of baseboards and walls that may be required after such a job. I believe it is typical but I wish I would have inquired more about it to know that after the job was done there would be the need to repaint baseboards and wipe down walls, etc. read more

6 stars out of 5! They not only did a fantastic job, but I could schedule the project on short notice, they provided great advice, and the price was very reasonable. The job was so flawless, that no paint touch-up was needed. With 20+ years of home maintenance experience, I can say that they are my favorite contractor. Our floors went from being an eyesore to being the jewel of our home. We went with an oil-based satin finish, no stain and it looks phenomenal in our traditional home. Just one suggestion to anyone planning to refinish their floors-- research the types of products available and prepare for the process to put your floors out of commission for up to 3 days. read more

Before using these guys, consider that Johnny will feel challenged for any questions you may have and will become aggressive. Want to know how a certain process works or what you're spending your money on? Good luck getting that information without Johnny implying that you're an idiot or being insulting to him. Horrible attitude, horrible customer service. Anyone reporting a good experience with them must not have had to speak with him for even a moment. And his attitude is so clear in his replies to reviewers, nothing is his fault ever. Its like dealing with a teenager. I would avoid this business at all costs unless you want to be spoken to like a child and throw your money away. I can't even speak on the work because we didn't let them get far enough to finish. read more

From start to finish we had the best experience with Creative Floors! I sent out a request for a quote, and that same morning an estimator showed up at our house with samples of flooring. He was very knowledgeable and explained why we should make certain choices to make our flooring look nicer and which product was most durable for our dogs. When we wanted to set up the work, he had a crew here within 2 days. The crew showed up on time and worked diligently for 12 hours to get our job done today instead of the original 2 day estimate. The finished product looks amazing! We are so happy with their work and would highly recommend them to others! read more
