Vinyl Flooring Durability
Fast & Affordable Installation
Modern vinyl flooring has evolved over the past few years into a diverse array of styles and finishes that can fit into the style and aesthetic of most homes. It’s also a great affordable and long-lasting choice. With many homeowners choosing to remodel an older home or make improvements to their current estate, vinyl flooring can be an excellent choice to update the design of a room. Footprints Floors has trained staff to make vinyl plank flooring installation in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook a smooth process for homeowners.
Easy to Install and Maintain
Vinyl can be installed over many different types of pre-existing subflooring, making vinyl plank flooring installation a breeze. Plus, it helps you save money on removing and demolishing old floors. Once it is installed, it’s easy to maintain and keep clean. Basic sweeping and mopping will do the job just fine. No wax needed! Most vinyl has a no-wax finish, keeping your floors shiny without polish. Occasionally, like any flooring, your vinyl flooring may benefit from a professional cleaning and polish.

Durability and Affordability
Vinyl comprises multiple layers of compressed synthetic material that are finished to look like wood, tile, or other flooring types. Because it’s artificial, vinyl is 100% water resistant, and its backing layer prevents mold and mildew from accruing underneath your floors. Vinyl is often an excellent flooring solution for bathrooms, kitchens, and any other room in your home that may experience more moisture because it won’t mold or warp due to water damage. It is also less susceptible to fading from the sun, but like any other flooring, it will fade over time if there is a lot of sun exposure.
Additionally, vinyl floors come with a scratch-resistant finish called a wear layer. The wear layer is a transparent finish that varies in thickness depending on need and use. If your floors face little stress and strain from everyday life, you can opt for a thinner wear layer that protects you from basic scratches and stains. However, if you have small children, pets with long fingernails, or you simply tend to drop heavy items more often, consider vinyl with a thicker finish to increase the durability of your floors.
Depending on your chosen style and finish, vinyl flooring typically costs $2-$14 per square foot. Whether you opt for a basic design or decide on something more luxurious, selecting vinyl will be far more cost-effective than natural wood or stone flooring.
Trust Footprints Floors
With Your Vinyl Plank Installation in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook
When installed and maintained correctly, vinyl flooring can last 10-20 years without needing to be replaced. Many companies also offer lengthy warranties on their vinyl products to help you buy with confidence. Footprints Floors does not sell flooring in order to keep installation costs low for our customers, but we are happy to make recommendations so you can select the best vinyl flooring to fit your home and budget. Once you’ve found flooring you love, call us today for a free estimate on your vinyl plank flooring installation!

What Our Customers Say

Chuck and team listened to our vision to update what was a very uneven and thin-- 3" concrete slab floor in our basement. Its a nearly 100yo converted root cellar. He gave us options and contingency plans-- all things were considered! He wasn't quite familiar with the finished look we requested, but he did a lot of research and pulled it off! The install team was great. We love the result.

I cannot say enough about Chuck and staff. We have had a-lot of contractors do work for us over the years and i have to say that footprints have by far exceeded all our expectations. They did an amazing job on our wood floor refinishing and really stand behind their work! Chuck is very professional and courteous unlike most contractors we have dealt with in the past. You can hire them without concern. They truly are worth it!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Chuck and Kyle from Footprint Flooring of the Western suburbs. They were professional, fast, and their work was of high quality. Chuck came by to look at our floors and spent a good amount of time explaining everything in detail that was needed to repair our floors and made sure all of our questions were answered. I was so pleased with the outcome of our flooring. We had our LVP floor repaired and it truly looks amazing. I would highly recommend Footprint Flooring to anyone looking to install or repair their floors. I called around to other flooring companies and I am so glad we chose FootPrints. I got the best vibe from them and now I know why. I can honestly say we are so happy and satisfied with our floors and would use them again.

Chuck and his team were very friendly and thorough. Spent a lot of time answering my questions and explaining things for my peace of mind. The job was done right the first time! Pricing was comparable to other companies in the area, didn’t have to pay more for top-quality work. Thanks, Chuck!

I would highly recommend Footprints if you are looking for flooring work. In our instance we had frozen water pipes that burst and damaged a 4x5 swath of our hardwood flooring. Footprints came out promptly to evaluate the damage and proposed it’s solution. We actually thought we would have to replace a lot more of the floor area than we ended up replacing. Footprints was able to lace the new wood into the existing hardwood and when the work was finished, I could not tell any difference. They matched it perfectly. Footprints was extremely competent, polite and neat. I also found their rate to be very reasonable especially given the high quality of the work. I found the owner of the company dusting in our powder room with a duster after the work was complete! I highly recommend Footprints Flooring.

Footprints floors did an excellent job restoring my hardwood floors. The floors were in exceptionally bad condition prior to their restoration. They restored my hardwood floors to an almost new state. The hardwood floors are now absolutely gorgeous! I cannot recommend them highly enough for all work they did at a fair price. Thank you!

Karen Schmiege 03/16/23 — google -
Chuck was a pleasure to work with. Very reasonably priced and started work right away. Gave recommendations based on our wants and did not try to upsell us on unnecessary work. Will definitely be using them again to refinish our hardwood in the future.
Andy Blechschmidt 02/21/23 — google -
Chuck and his team were great to work with! I always felt like I was in good hands, which doesn't happen often. Chuck discussed different options for flooring and he even steered me away from some options that would not have been cost effective for me. In a day where making a buck by any means necessary is the norm, I found this rare and totally refreshing! I would definitely use Footprints Floors again.

Chuck and his team were phenomenal! We ripped out old carpet and had installed new vinyl plank flooring… The first night, we noticed a HUGE difference in our kids breathing overnight. Our kids had been coughing a lot when they were in their rooms. We weren’t sure if replacing the carpet would make a difference, but the change was immediate. Our whole family is feeling much better since the carpet was replaced with vinyl. Chuck went above & beyond, and we couldn’t be happier. We will definitely hire Footprints again in the future. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Chuck did an amazing job in our house! His team refinished our hardwood. They also changed the kitchen tile to hardwood. He is expert in his work, very responsive, and on time. He cared about our house and even gave us a floor protection to use for other contractors. He went to 6 different stores to find the stain color we were looking for. His team was very nice as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone, who is looking for a floor contractor.

Chuck and his team refinished our hardwood. Chuck is very nice, knowledgeable and cares about the quality of his job. They were on time and delivered the project according to the initial schedule he provided us. The quality of the job was amazing and the communication was great. We did a few other projects in our house with other contractors, and Chuck was by far the best one. Alex (his crew lead) was a great and nice person and provided great suggestions during the project. Chuck went above and beyond to help us pick the right stain colors. I highly recommend him and will definitely work with him if I have any other projects in the future.

I was very satisfied with the job. There was a small issue that I discovered after the job was completed and I reached out to Chuck who was very responsive and brought someone to caulk around my shower window the very next day. I would definitely recommend this company!
Christine Zidek 04/29/22 — google -
Purchased luxury vinyl flooring online from Home Depot. Contracted with Footprints to do the installation. Chuck picked up the materials which was definitely a bonus. The job was pretty routine for a professional - just a small bedroom & the installer was done in just over 3 hours👏 It looks better than I imagined it would. Very happy!
Chris Marco 04/18/22 — google -

Play professional and well priced and friendly. They refinish 750 ft.² of our Wood Floor’s… Love it
Peggy Ventrelli 04/16/22 — google -
Chuck and E did a great job. Very high quality work. I think the price may have been a bit higher than you could get elsewhere, but if you want it done right, this company is the way to go. I've heard enough contractor horror stories to say paying a little more up front can save you a big headache in the long run.

What to expect with installation:
When you have hired Footprints Floors to do your backsplash installation, you can count on a few things.
Professional Skilled Contractors
Affordable Rates
Quality Installation
Preparation and Clean-Up
You buy it and we install it. We at Footprints Floors are a family-founded company. We take great pride in providing high quality work at an affordable rate. This is accomplished by employing skilled contractors capable of impeccable backsplash installation. In addition, our business model of providing the labor and leaving out the showroom maintenance, (we do not sell tiles or backsplash material), allows us to cut costs and share that savings with our clients. You purchase the backsplash materials and we handle the rest. From design to quality installation, we take care of every detail. Should you be interested, we can point you in the direction of suppliers that we know and trust. We install many types of backsplash from any supplier. You may have your pick from any vendor allowing your design possibilities to be limitless.
