New Construction
New construction flooring can be a crucial step both for the builder and the first owner. Numerous factors make the decision process a collaborative project with specific goals.
Welcome to Surface Elements, Inc., where you can have access to the experienced flooring professionals you need. Vast experience is a great place to start, but we also have excellent resources for virtually any floor covering at great prices, with top notch installation and superior solutions for maintaining your flooring investment. Surface Elements is your Chicagoland expert in quality flooring.
Whether you are building a new home, remodeling an existing bathroom or kitchen, with a combined 50+ years of flooring experience we work directly with you to help select the proper materials, custom design, cost manage, schedule and install your new flooring.
The big stores can’t offer the kind of one on one service our family owned company can, seeing your project through from beginning to the very end. Contact us for a free flooring estimate.
Our showroom is open by appointment only, so you can be sure you will have our complete attention as we start the selection/design process. During selections, we walk you through and educate you on the different material choices to find the right products for you. Once the material has been selected we will start designing the project based on your individual tastes and needs.
After the selections and designs have been made, we will schedule the installation process based on your particular project and needs. Once we are ready to start your project, we meet with the installers on site to go over your project and to handle any possible questions. Please understand some issues may come up we weren’t aware of and will need to be addressed on site (crown in floor, something under an existing product we couldn’t see prior to removing, etc…). This doesn’t happen often, but can happen.
Once your project is complete, we remain available if there are any questions about your new floor and we warranty our installations for 1 year after completion. Manufacturers’ warranty their products too; their limitations and time vary from one to another.
Our installers are all licensed and insured with most of them having worked with us since we opened our doors on 4/1/2000! The installers work on projects ranging from backsplashes to commercial projects the size of schools or hospitals, taking pride in each and every one.
We believe in taking care of our customers; from making the first appointment at your convenience to being accessible for questions whenever you need. Tom and I understand purchasing flooring can be a big expense and you rely on us to give you our guidance, as well as the best product at a fair price.
We do not believe in playing the “buy one room get one free” game (or any other!). The big box stores and large flooring retailers use these types of gimmicks to get you in the door. This usually means you are paying a much higher mark up on the pad, labor for the pad and paying for add-ons normally included in a standard installation price.
New construction flooring can be a crucial step both for the builder and the first owner. Numerous factors make the decision process a collaborative project with specific goals.
Commercial flooring projects need a smart eye for style and budget compliance. Multiple opinions come into play, often with conflicting goals. Surface Elements experience takes the hassle out of the process.
The design process in remodeling has always been a balancing act of functionality, textural contrasts, color strategies and more. Surface Elements is a strong resource for easier decisions.
