Modern Quality Flooring is Chicago's resource for affordable high quality flooring and installation. Honesty and hard work are our key differentiators from the competition because we understand that this is not only your house – it is your home. We will take all necessary steps to assure quick and quality work while working until YOU are satisfied with our service. We try to give our customers the best prices we can by negotiating with suppliers and purchasing roll specials so we stock better quality materials for a good price. We have a large selection of hardwood floor and stain colors available. No one has to wait for the flooring order to be delivered. Once the customer decides, we can deliver the next day.

"The team from Modern Quality Flooring excelled at every step of the process of redoing nearly every floor in our new house. We redid our entire first floor of hardwood and our entire basement with new vinyl lux flooring. We discovered some bumps in the road - upon removing some rugs, some very large plywood patches showed up. The basement floor, once the carpet came up proved to be less than level and the stairs needed to be patched up. Everything was done so well that it's hard to imagine it's the same house. The flooring work they did was transformational. Despite the complicated and numerous hardwood patches in several rooms, you can't tell they're not the original floors. The workmanship is flawless. We felt completely comfortable from the initial meeting with them. They were excellent at communicating things before, during and upon completion of the work. If you have floors that need attention, they should be your first (and really) only call. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"We had a floor leveling issue in which a room was part tile over cement and part carpet over hardwood, with the tiled part being higher than the carpeted part. We wanted to remove the tile, level the entire floor, and have hard wood flooring throughout the room. This was a challenge for the other contractors and flooring people who came out to give estimates. However, Mike of Mike’s flooring came out and immediately knew how to implement a plan of action. Mike’s team responded quickly and finished the job in a timely manner. They were pleasant and respectful, took care to limit the dust, and cleaned up after themselves. Mike also gave us great remodeling advice and provided us with great referrals for other trade experts. Most importantly, Mike charged a fair price, and he and his team did a WONDERFUL job. The new hard wood flooring looks GORGEOUS! Mike is a true expert in flooring, and I highly recommend him and his team."

"The carpenters did an exceptional job, completing the installation in a timely manner and with perfect execution. Although I wasn't present during the installation, the carpet looks and feels professionally done. I initially needed a carpet due to noise complaints from my neighbor and was hesitant about adding one. After discussing it with my neighbor, I decided to proceed. The carpet they installed looks and feels amazing! I just wanted a quick solution to reduce noise, so I gave them the measurements and left the rest to them. They exceeded my expectations and truly nailed it! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and enjoyable. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. They transformed my space into a cozy, inviting haven, and I couldn't be happier. I love the carpet 100% and definitely recommend these guys! Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality are truly top-notch."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Flooring installation usually takes about one to three days, so it’s a project you can do over a long weekend if you plan to DIY. Keep in mind that for some types of flooring, like hardwood or laminate, you’ll need to let the floor panels sit out of the packaging to acclimate them to their future home. This step will add at least a day to the project time, but it will help minimize the risk of warping due to changes in temperature and humidity.

Carpet typically lasts 5-15 years, depending on material quality and traffic levels. Regular maintenance, such as professional cleaning, can extend carpet longevity and preserve appearance.

Technically, you can install carpet without padding. While skipping the padding can help you save on the project, it will make the carpet less comfortable and show uneven spots or imperfections in the subfloor. Because carpet padding protects the back of the carpet from wear, a carpet without padding can wear out faster than one with it. Carpet padding also cuts down on noise, so forgoing it can affect the acoustics in the room.

If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you’re not interested in seeking remediation, you could hide a visually unpleasant floor. This will only work if the floor is structurally sound and the only issue you have is the way it looks. The easiest way to do this is to use large area rugs. You can also paint the floor, although that’s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route.

The first step in budgeting for carpet is to determine the amount of carpet you need and the type of carpet you want. You might be tempted to opt for the least expensive option if you have a limited budget, but a low-quality carpet won’t last as long as a high-quality one. When accounting for future carpet repair costs, it makes sense to buy the best-quality carpet you can afford.
