We found Stan's Flooring online at http://www.stansflooringinc.com and we found they have a huge selection of hardwood floors (we got tired of carpeting). We researched their website and we were able to view styles, colors and types of hardwoods, be it oak, cherry, maple, etc.
We called Stan's and received courteous service over the phone and we set up an appointment. Stan (the owner) came by, we gave him a tour of our home and he brought samples with him which was very convenient for us, however, he suggested that we visit his showroom (in Bridgeview) for even a greater selection and larger samples. And so we did.
We chose our top 3 hardwood floors, including design and style for the bedrooms, living/family room and kitchen and hallway. And because we had some significant ideas for the design (we saw what kind of designs he makes under flooring galleries) we wanted to add a particular design for the dining room and foyer and he said it would be no problem, but in order to give us a good estimate, he said he would get back to us in approximately 24 hrs, or 2 days..... which he did.
Needless to say, we researched other flooring companies before we made up our mind and Stan's was neither the most expensive nor the least expensive, and we went with Stan's because he was honest about how long it takes to get the job done, the design and he even brought pictures of his most recently completed projects (we also viewed them on his website, which was very helpful and detailed).
We give Stan's Flooring 5 stars, because of the quality of wood, work, service, honesty, promptness, as well, because he made some suggestions on how to make our dining room and foyer "pop" with some decoration suggestions. His comments were not intrusive and we welcomed his ideas.
Since then, we have recommended Stan to our family and friends. read more
