About Elite Laminate Floors

Laminate Flooring Installation Company in Illinois Near Me

Laminate flooring installation in Illinois often means basements. A large share of homes in the Chicago area and across the state have full basements, and finishing them with laminate is one of the most common jobs we see.

Basement slabs get a moisture reading, a 6-mil vapor barrier and leveling where the floor pitches toward a drain. Upstairs, humid summers and dry, heated winters swing the floor enough that we keep expansion gaps at every wall and set T-moldings on long runs.

Why choose us for laminate flooring installation

Why Illinois Homeowners Pick Us for Laminate Flooring Installation

Illinois basement floors are where our prep pays off. We test the slab, lay taped 6-mil poly and level the slope toward the floor drain so the planks sit flat. We look for water stains and efflorescence and tell you straight if the basement needs water work before any floor. Upstairs, we set T-moldings on long runs so seasonal swings do not buckle the floor.

Flat subfloors first

We check every subfloor with a straightedge and fix humps and dips before laminate goes down in Illinois.

Moisture control

Slabs get a moisture reading and a 6-mil poly vapor barrier with taped seams. That is what keeps HDF edges from swelling.

Written estimates

Tear-out, leveling, underlayment, planks and trim each get their own line, so you can see where the money goes.

Room to move

A 1/4 to 3/8 inch expansion gap at every wall and T-moldings on long runs, so the floor does not peak.

The right board

AC3 for bedrooms and living rooms, AC4 and waterproof lines for kitchens, entries and basements.

Clean finish

Door jambs undercut, trim nailed to the wall and doors trimmed so they swing over the new floor.

Laminate flooring FAQs

Questions about laminate flooring installation

Common questions about laminate flooring installation in Illinois, answered by our crew.

Talk to our crew

Why do you leave a gap at the walls?

Laminate expands and contracts with humidity. We leave a 1/4 to 3/8 inch gap at every wall and fixed object and hide it under base or quarter round. Without it, the floor peaks or buckles.

Is laminate waterproof?

Standard laminate handles spills wiped up quickly. Waterproof laminate has sealed joints and a treated core rated to resist standing water for a set time. For kitchens, baths and basements we usually recommend waterproof lines.

How long does laminate floor installation take?

One or two rooms usually take a day. A whole main floor of 1,000 to 1,500 square feet runs two to four days, including tear-out and trim. Leveling compound can add a drying day.

Can laminate go on stairs?

Yes. Stair treads are glued, not floated, and finished with a matching stair nose. We check for squeaks and fasten loose treads before we start.

When is laminate floor replacement better than repair?

If one or two planks are damaged and you have spares, we repair. If water has swollen boards across a room or the wear layer is gone in traffic lanes, laminate floor replacement is usually the better value.
