There aren't enough review stars for Chris and A Step Ahead Flooring! We bought our home 11 years…read moreago and have been lamenting the bleaching out of our family room's hard wood floor due to south-facing windows. (There's even the telltale square in the flooring when we move the rug.) We had no idea what to expect or what was the "right way" to fix it. Enter Chris. 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!

A Step Ahead Flooring does fantastic work. I recommend this company. The price is fair and they…read moredon't cut corners. The new normal in the trades is less than acceptable work for double or triple the money; in other words, a one time quick burn and turn. We have all fallen victim to this. The problem there is they are always looking for the next customer instead doing a good job and using their existing customers as marketing tools. I'll be using A Step Ahead Flooring for my next job. Word of mouth and repeat customers is the way to go. It's already in the name; They really are A Step Ahead !!

I believe she is an honorable business woman and probably does great work (they were recommended to me by Tim Samuelson, the retired cultural historian of Chicago), but I no longer had the time to navigate their business practices.

If I could post a picture, I would, my 2000 sq/ft floors turned out gorgeous!…read more It's pleasantly challenging to try and rank what I liked best about the service I received from All American Hardwood Floors, but number 1 would have to be service. 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

It was refreshing to have a major construction project go as planned and on budget. Estes are true professionals and we could not recommend them more! Special thanks to Patrick and Artur for all their help to make everything go smooth!!!

We received quotes from some contractors who just based their estimates off my pictures. Patrick came out to our place in-person to see the deck and take pictures/measurements himself and answer our questions. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and pointed out several structural issues we hadn't noticed. After hiring Estes, Patrick and his team were very easy to work with and stayed in constant communication with us. We were shocked both by how quickly they were able to get us scheduled (only ~2.5 weeks from when we signed the contract) and how quickly they were able to completely demolish our old deck and build the new one. From start to finish, the entire process only took three days. We couldn't be happier with the new deck and would recommend Estes to anyone! Thanks guys!

We spoke with Emma who conferred with Paul of Zudor Flooring, and our options were explained sensibly and practically.

Connecting with them seemed like we were among family, and trust is not easily given in this day and age.

We do not usually encounter a company that strives to truly consider the customer across quality, customer needs, and competitive pricing. Great Job Zudor Flooring!
