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.

I chose Olson after the positive reviews I read. Jennifer was great and answered all of my…read morequestions. She was patient with me and I did not feel pressured to make a quick decision. I came in on a Sunday and she was able to come out right away to get measurements. I appreciated the entire team contacting me every step of the way. I received a call within a week that my carpet was in and to schedule install. The Friday before my install I received a courtesy call on time window and what to expect. I received a call when the installers were on their way. They were friendly and efficient and left my home clean. I would recommend Jennifer and Olson rug for your flooring needs.

As you can tell from my profile, I don't write many reviews. But I had to stop, collect my thoughts…read moreand write about our experience with Jennifer Pyle at Olson Rug in Downers Grove. In a single word: Phenomenal!! We went in to finally replace carpet that had been in our home since it was built, having now seen it day and night from working at home during the pandemic. We were replacing flooring in the living, dining and family rooms, as well as a 2nd floor hallway and stairs, as well as painting those walls - so not a small investment. And even with lots of online research, I still had tons more questions, not wanting to make any mistake that I'd have to live with for a long time. I was at a stage where I had to see and put my hands on some samples before purchasing. Enter Jennifer..... We went to the showroom; she was friendly, personable, professional, knowledgeable, answered all of our questions (and asked some we hadn't thought of), navigated us around brands and options; and was amazing in turning our vision into reality, including moving forward with actually purchasing patterned (yes, patterned) carpet for those spaces! (Anyone who has been conditioned to always go for safe, neutral single colors in wall to wall carpet, knows the apprehension in doing this...) She came out to get measurements, with samples that helped us choose the best colors for the lighting and coordinate with the incoming paint color. I was extremely impressed when it came time to order - it was clear that she was very experienced in knowing how to efficiently account for pattern matching. When you're paying by the square foot, that matters! Ordering was efficient, delivery was on time; and the installers were Exceptional. We had some big, heavy furniture pieces to move in some of these rooms, even with the small stuff taken out. To this day, I still do not know how some of those pieces got moved....but they got it all moved, carpets laid down and finished all of the spaces, in One Day. They were professional, courteous, efficient, respectful and cleaned everything up when the work was done. As far as the results: I could not be more pleased! Each of the choices was absolutely spot on. Attaching a few photos here; they don't completely do it justice, but a small sample of how patterns transformed those spaces. And as for the carpeting on the stairs..... not only was the install amazing, but the comfort.... it is the first time ever that I find myself actually taking off my shoes and socks to just experience walking on it!! It seems goofy, yes; but in these times when we're spending so much time inside our spaces, the ability to step outside the home office, and onto Instant Zen, was a totally unexpected and welcome surprise. Will Definitely go back when it's time to work on bedrooms!

Anytime I tried to reach the company, "Johnny J" (owner) always answered, friendly as could be. He explained the process from beginning to end, starting with why the wood needs a couple days in the home before installation. I don't know much about installing floors but I really felt like he was doing it right and not rushing to make the sale or get it done. The workers were fast and meticulous when it came to their work and cleanliness. I paid a extra to have them rip out the carpet, something I could have done my own, but nice to have someone else do for you and haul it away. Choosing a color stain was a challenge and I probably annoyed "Johnny" with my indecision, but ultimately with his advice I chose the best color for my home. Dogs and Hardwood Floors... I have TWO large dogs and they are rough on the floors but you would never know it. They've held up beautifully and again, Johnny's experience came into play as he consulted me with what finish to go with that would show the least amount a "dog nail" wear and tear. If you're in the market or having a tough time picking between two installers, I don't think you can go wrong with All American Hardwood Floors. They were not the cheapest bid I received and the were not the most expensive... I shopped around and they were extremely competitive. The owner seems like a very respectable hardworking family man. All American Hardwood Floors will be installing the hardwood on my second floor for sure! Good luck with your next project and choose this company with confidence. www.allamericanhardwoodfloors.net

He came in and gave us a more-than-reasonable price quote and had a plan for everything (even how to puppy- and child-proof the new floors a bit). He and his crew were professional, efficient, courteous, tidy, and delivered an amazing product in a very quick timeline. My husband now wants to redo the entire house with Chris!

This meant a demo of wood, demo of tile, new carpentry, new tile, reinstall of a fixture, additional pipe, and new baseboards. We decided (without any pressure for add-ons) to extend the work to the whole bathroom floor instead of just the localized area. So our results feel like not just a repair, but a remodel. Things that stood out: Communication - We felt the main point of contact, Anthony, was clear and helpful through the whole process. This is true of every crew member we interactacted with as well. Questions were answered patiently, things were explained clearly, we new what to expect next, there were no overpromises. Everyone that came into our home was respectful. Our input was sought at appropriate times, and we were shown progress consistently. Execution - Everyone seemed competent and capable of the tasks at hand. The results look good, feel good, and inspire confidence. If there was a mess made, it was promptly cleaned up. If there was a concern, it was handled appropriately. Initially I was a little skeptical of the proposed timeline but after seeing the work in action it made sense and was accurate. I would advise any others to just be ready to communicate a little, and inspect the results at each stage, since there might be use of different crews for one stage or another. It felt like a smooth project overall, with a little touchup at the end. Also, someone cleaned our bathroom sink. Didn't even ask for that!
