Flooring Installation Serving Berwyn, IL

What the price of a floor depends on in a Berwyn bungalow

Berwyn’s bungalow blocks went up mostly between 1900 and 1949. The Central Berwyn Bungalow Historic District covers 236 acres, and it joined the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 2015. Most of its contributing buildings are brick Chicago bungalows.

Age tells you when the house was built. It never tells you what is under your floor. Nobody should guess that before looking at it.

Subfloor prep, transitions at doorways, and stairs are three of the named items on that list, which is why all three come up on the visit rather than afterwards. Removal of whatever is down now is a fourth. None of them is a number we will put on your rooms before seeing them.

The work we do near the Depot District and the Lavergne stop

Berwyn’s Depot District is the walkable downtown built around three Metra stops. Those stops are Harlem Avenue, Berwyn, and LaVergne, all on the BNSF Line.

The jobs are ordinary and repeatable. Replacing a worn main-level floor in a bungalow near the LaVergne Metra station. A below-grade room where the old floor failed. Pulling carpet off a stair run and putting a hard surface down. Taking out old sheet vinyl in a kitchen and laying plank. Matching a new floor to an existing one at a doorway threshold. A laminate floor across two or three bedrooms.

We are not a Berwyn storefront. We come to Berwyn, which is the honest version of it. We also handle carpet installation and tile and stone installation when a project needs them.

The corridors into a Berwyn block, and what a map does not show

Cermak Road is Berwyn’s main commercial street. 33rd Street is another named Berwyn street, Ogden Avenue is an east and west business corridor carrying a portion of historic Route 66, and Roosevelt Road runs along the northern edge of the city.

Those corridors are how we come in. What no map shows is your own block, so tell us about it when you call. Where can a truck park and unload? Does the block carry a parking restriction? Is there an alley behind the house?

Say how many rooms you want done and what is on the floors now. Removal sits on the price list, so the second answer belongs in the estimate rather than after it.

Where your house sits, and what we will not put a number on

Tell us your nearest corner when you call, whether that is Proksa Park or MacNeal Hospital.

In a pre-1950 house the new floor meets old trim, and trim is one of the items on that price list. Stairs and transitions are two more of them.

What we will not do is price any of it sight unseen, or tell you what is under a floor that nobody has lifted yet.

How we reach Berwyn, and what happens after you call

Harlem Avenue, which carries Illinois Route 43, is the north and south corridor into town, and Harlem Avenue at Cermak Road is a heavily traveled commercial corner. The Berwyn Public Library sits on Harlem Avenue at 2701 South.

After you call, we come to the house. We measure the rooms, bring the samples with us, and price the job off that same list rather than off a flat square-foot number.
