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!

After showing them a picture with residual tile grout I was told $1500. A man from Dorion came to measure, and indicated that the job could be completed for much less. Yet when they provided the official estimate, it was back to $1500. I was able to find a company to level the floor and install the vinyl sheet for under $300 plus the cost of the vinyl. Was it because I am a senior citizen? Was it because I am a woman? Whatever the reason, I can only assume they were trying to take advantage of me.

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).

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 !!

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.

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.

When the installer team came out, they did not replace the boards and told me new boards were unnecessary. I was still charged for the board replacements anyway. I disputed this directly with the company on March 19th, the day of the installation, and did not receive a follow-up. I had to reach back out on March 31st to continue addressing the issue. At that point, they asked for photos, despite my earlier explanation that photos would not prove anything because of the nature of the work. Today, they responded by saying the pictures were "not proof" and agreed to issue a refund, but only after I pushed the issue. At that point, it's no longer just about the money. It's about integrity, poor internal communication, and how a legitimate customer concerns are handled by this business.

Highly recommend JP Hardwood Flooring!…read more Johnny came out to my house and gave me an estimate to refinish all of my hardwood floors the same day. He does charge more than a few other quotes I received, but his rates reflect the quality of his work. He is very responsive and laid down all of the stain options I was looking at in 4 different rooms throughout my house so I could really see how the color looked in different lighting conditions. He was also able to seamlessly fill in all of the cracks in our floors making them look brand new and did the entire house in less than a week! Make sure you do your research on whether or not you want Synteko for your finish - we ended up going with a water-based finish since we have a dog and little babies crawling on our floors and didn't want to risk the toxins, but I would definitely trust Johnny with the finish if you're interested in it. Finally, about a month after moving in, one of our stair treads broke off and Johnny was able to come and replace it in a matter of days - he asked for the measurements ahead of time, so when he showed up at 8am, he already had the tread pre-cut and was done with everything within the hour. His work is truly phenomenal and I would recommend him for any hardwood needs you have!
