We Bring the Store to You!

Carpet installation through Flooring Xpress starts around $2.49 per square foot installed. That price covers the carpet, an 8-pound pad (we throw the pad in free with any carpet order), tack strip, and labor. A typical 12x15 bedroom lands between $450 and $700 depending on the line you choose. We are an authorized Shaw and Mohawk dealer, and prices move up when you go into pet-friendly stain-resistant fibers, premium memory-foam pads, or patterned Berbers. The honest way to lock a real number is the free shop-at-home visit. Solo brings samples to your place so you see them in your actual lighting and writes a flat quote you can hold us to. We also beat any written price on equivalent products, so if you have a competing estimate, send it over.

LVP installations from Flooring Xpress start around $3.49 per square foot installed. That covers the planks, underlayment when the manufacturer requires it, transitions, and labor. The per-foot price moves with plank thickness, wear-layer mil rating, and how premium a look you want. A 200-square-foot kitchen typically lands between $700 and $1,400 fully installed. Subfloor leveling or tile demo is priced separately so you see exactly where every dollar goes. As a Shaw dealer we carry their full LVP catalog. Free delivery on all materials, and Solo will bring samples to the home visit so you can see how the plank reads against your cabinets and wall color before you commit.

Hardwood starts around $5.99 per square foot installed for engineered oak and goes up from there with solid plank, exotic species like Brazilian cherry, and wider plank widths. Refinishing existing hardwood usually runs $3 to $5 per square foot depending on stain choice and how many coats of finish you want. As a Shaw dealer we carry their solid and engineered hardwood lines. The variables are the species, the plank width, the finish, and whether the subfloor needs work. The home visit is the only honest way to give you a real number. We bring stained samples and unfinished blanks so you can see how the wood reads in your light at different times of day.

Tile starts around $7 per square foot installed for floors and a bit more for showers and backsplashes because of waterproofing and the cuts involved. We are an exclusive Daltile dealer in the Chicago area, which means we carry their full porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone catalog at dealer pricing. A typical 60-square-foot bathroom floor lands between $500 and $900 installed. Custom shower tile with niches, accent strips, or curbless drains adds time and skill. Solo brings tile samples and grout chips on the home visit so you can lay them next to your fixtures before you commit. Demo of existing tile is priced separately so the line items are clear.

Simple: you call or fill out the form, Solo books a time that works for you, and he drives the showroom to your front door. He brings carpet samples, LVP planks, hardwood blanks, tile chips, and grout swatches you can hold against your cabinets, wall color, and natural light. Samples that look great in a fluorescent showroom often read totally different in a kitchen at 4pm — the home visit fixes that. Solo measures while he is there, talks through the prep work the room needs, and writes you a flat quote on the spot. No showroom trip. No high-pressure sales. The visit is free whether or not you book the job.

Whatever you want. If you call ahead and tell us you are looking at carpet for a bedroom, Solo curates the sample case to that — different textures, different pile heights, different price points. If you want to see LVP for a basement remodel, he brings waterproof options with thicker wear layers. For tile, he brings Daltile chips in the colorways and sizes you mentioned plus a few he thinks might surprise you. The case fits in his vehicle so he can swap and adjust on the visit. The whole point is to take the showroom out of the equation — you should not have to drive somewhere or imagine how something will look.
