Premier Vinyl and Luxury Vinyl Plank Installation

From Top Industry Professionals


Vinyl flooring or LVP (luxury vinyl plank) have become the most popular flooring choice for homes today. This is true for new builds and flooring renovations done in older homes. There is good reason for this popularity. Although traditional flooring, with real hardwood and stone, can be desirable, the cost of this kind of flooring can be unattainable for many. Furthermore, hardwood flooring is vulnerable to scratches and damage. Repairs for these authentic materials are not as simple or again as affordable as their modern counterparts in vinyl.

On the other hand, vinyl flooring is both aesthetically appealing and financially accessible. The versatile selection of patterns and the durability of vinyl make it an option for any home with any aesthetic. This is why we see this kind of flooring in both houses, new and old. Whatever your flooring needs and desires may be, there is a vinyl floor that will satisfy both.

At Footprints Floors we specialize in the installation of vinyl and LVP flooring . If you are currently in search of vinyl floor installation in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook, give Footprints Floors a call and request a free consultation. We only employ qualified, licensed contractors to ensure that our clients receive the highest quality flooring installation.

Why LVP or Vinyl Flooring?

Durable/Water Resistant
Variety of Patterns
Cost Effective

Vinyl or luxury vinyl flooring can be an ideal choice for any home or any room. These flooring types are durable and water resistant making them exceptional choices for bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms and entryways. The maintenance of vinyl is simple and easy. Just another attribute that makes this material a great candidate for flooring in those high traffic areas of your home.

In addition, LVP or vinyl flooring features flawless images, realistic textures and individual planks, sheets or tiles to give the look and feel of the material of your choosing. With an array of patterns and images to choose from, vinyl can achieve the appearance of real hardwood, marble, ceramic, stone, or something entirely unique! Your floors can become the statement piece you desire and at a fraction of the price when you choose vinyl.

Comparing Vinyl and Laminate

Vinyl and linoleum have different advantages in any remodeling project. Consider your specific needs and preferences to make the best choice for your home or business. Here are a few reasons why choosing vinyl floor installation in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook may be better for your project.

One of the main advantages of vinyl flooring is its water resistance. Luxury vinyl plank, or LVP flooring, is made from synthetic materials, which makes it impervious to water and resistant to moisture damage. This makes it an ideal choice for areas prone to spills, such as kitchens and bathrooms, or spaces like the basement that are vulnerable to flooding. In contrast, linoleum is made from natural materials such as linseed oil and cork, which can be susceptible to water damage over time. While linoleum can be sealed to help prevent water damage, it may not be as durable as vinyl in areas with high humidity or moisture.

Another advantage of vinyl flooring is its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Vinyl is made from multiple layers, including a wear layer that helps protect the surface from scratches and dents. This makes it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways and entryways and homes with pets or children. Linoleum is durable but may require regular maintenance to maintain its appearance and prevent wear.

LVP flooring also offers a wider variety of design options than linoleum. Vinyl can mimic the look of hardwood, tile, or stone and come in a wide range of colors and patterns. If you’re looking to breathe fresh air into your space, vinyl flooring offers a diverse range of styles so you can find the perfect design choice for your home or business. On the other hand, linoleum may have more limited design options and may not be as versatile in matching different design styles.

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 a smooth process for homeowners in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook.

What To Expect With Installation:

When you have hired Footprints Floors to do your flooring installation, you can count on a few things.
  • Professional skilled contractors
  • Affordable rates
  • Quality installation
  • Preparation and clean-up

We at Footprints Floors are a family-founded company. We take great pride in providing high quality work at an affordable rate. We accomplish this by employing skilled contractors capable of impeccable flooring installation. In addition, our business model of providing the labor for floor installation and leaving out the showroom maintenance, (we do not sell flooring), allows us to cut costs and share that savings with our clients. Even though we do not sell our own flooring, should you like recommendations for flooring retailers, we can provide you the contact information for those we trust. Furthermore, because of this business model, your flooring selection will not be limited by a finite inventory. You may have your pick from any vendor allowing your design possibilities to be limitless.

When you schedule an appointment with Footprints Floors for flooring installation, we will perform the demolition of your current floor, an assessment of subflooring, lay a new underlayment (if necessary), install the new vinyl flooring and clean up the entire work site. When we leave your home, you will have a beautiful new space to enjoy and admire.

Other Considerations When Choosing Vinyl:

You are now familiar with the many positive attributes of vinyl and LVP, and may be wondering if there are any other aspects that need to be considered before making your selection. We have a few pro-tips for you to keep in mind.

Vinyl Quality Can Vary


While vinyl floors can be an affordable option, you do want to take care when selecting your vinyl product. Not all vinyl or LVP floors are made with the same quality standards. If in doubt feel free to ask our expert opinion on selecting a high quality product.

Vinyl Floors can be Difficult to Remove


Depending on the method of installation for the vinyl floors, removal can be labor intensive. Fortunately, you can call us to assist in any repairs, or floor removal and installation needs. We will take the stress of labor intensive work off your hands and guarantee a quality job.

Caring for LVP Flooring


Vinyl plank floors are durable, and most will last for years if properly installed and maintained. Here are a few tips from the experts at Footprints Floors:

  • Use cleaning products designed for vinyl floors, and avoid harsh chemicals. We recommend LOBA floor care products to maintain the beauty and durability of your floors. These specially formulated products provide gentle yet effective cleaning and maintenance for various types of flooring.
  • Do not use any products such as waxes, polishes, or oil soaps on your floors. These products can cause a dull film to form over time.
  • Use furniture pads under the legs of all chairs, tables, and other furniture to prevent scratches and dents.
  • Clean spills as soon as they happen. For liquids like wine or juice, blot instead of wipe to prevent spreading. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for treating stains, as different flooring types require different cleaning methods.

Will the top image fade?

No, the top image will not fade. The image embossed on the vinyl is sealed with a highly durable, clear coat to ensure the flooring looks beautiful for years.

Vinyl flooring is toxic

Many worry that these floors may be toxic. It is true that older vinyl floors were made with more questionable materials. However, today the industry is required to follow strict guidelines set by the EPA to ensure vinyl products are safe for inside the home.

Vinyl and laminate are the same

These two floor types may appear to be similar. In fact, they are both composed of entirely different materials. These different materials produce different characteristics in the flooring. A vinyl floor will be both more flexible and more water resistant than that of a laminate floor.

What Our Customers Say

Very professional. Nice work and was given directions how to care for the backsplash. Will be using them again to tile our hall bathroom.
Cindy Golger 08/28/25 — google
Chuck answered every question I had thoroughly (and I asked a lot!). Kyle and Carlo did tremendous work. They were professional polite, and a delight when they installed our floor.
Steven Shamrock 07/23/25 — google
I was really happy with Footprints! They installed ceramic tile in two different rooms for me. Turned out to be pretty much perfect. Both look beautiful. Kyle was our installer; his expertise was apparent and his suggestions helpful. The owner Chuck was really professional and responsive, he answered all my questions and scheduling was really easy.
Krista Appelquist 06/26/25 — google
Worked with them for a kitchen backsplash project, and was very happy with all aspects. Chuck was very proactive throughout the project, and his installers were always pleasant and friendly…..very easy to work with. They came 3 separate times, one day to repair the drywall, another to install the tile, and the third day to grout. Each time they finished they did a thorough clean of the kitchen, which was really appreciated. I would definitely use Footprints again.
John Burjek 05/7/25 — google
Excellent service - Chuck went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. Highly recommend!
Zach Frazier 05/6/25 — google
Very helpful in the original design process. We did our project in 2 steps, old floor removal & vinyl floor installation. In was very easy to work together and excellent knowledge of all aspects of our project.
Al Schuler 03/26/25 — google
They did absolutely great job, rushing nothing. This room had carpeting on it for 20 years, the floors were stained and in really in bad condition, I am amazed how well it came out, The tech Alex was amazing as was the owner. I have had my floors redone and wish that I knew about this company, I can see the difference in the company that you choose. Extremely professional. I would use them again and will recommend them to anyone who needs their services. Susan Garza
Veronica Garza 03/14/25 — google
We selected Footprints based on the published reviews. We were not disappointed. Chuck Williams, the businesses owner, was very responsive and very knowledgeable. He made the necessary trips to inspect the project space and advise us on the proper layout of our hardwood floor given the peculiarities of our home's subfloor construction. As an engineer, I found I could trust his judgment and experience. He was also accommodating of our schedule - we did two rooms but couldn't do them at the same time. Unlike other contractors he did not charge a premium for sending his crew out a second time. The proposal and quote were very detailed with everything spelled out, no surprises. The installer did an excellent job and was very professional, cleaned up everything very well. A real plus for us was the inclusion in the quote of pick up and delivery of the flooring from the supplier. They removed all of the existing carpeting, padding, etc, eliminated all the squeaks, and thoroughly dealt with the cat urine/odor that had permeated part of one room. Was it perfect? Almost. We found (only) one spot where a wall was dinged during installation. They do not promise that there will be no such occurrences, but since we were planning to paint the walls after the installation, we did not mention this one small hiccup. We will use Footprints Floors again without hesitation. Chuck was a pleasure to work with.

Excellent work
Anchor 63 01/28/25 — google
Chuck is absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend using him. I purchased an old home to renovate and ran into a lot of contractor issues Chuck was the person who continued to show up every time. He was extremely professional and dedicated to helping me make sure my floors turned out perfect. He put in a lot of person care to ensure everything turned out exceptionally.
Andrea 12/13/24 — google
I would certainly recommend Footprints to everyone. Chuck and his team were the best. Floors were done in a timely manner and the finished product is amazing.
W. R. Norful 12/10/24 — google
Chuck is personable and he did an amazing job on our floors as well as going out of his way to make sure I was happy
sandra coyner 10/23/24 — google
I am happy to share my review on Footprints Floors. This week I had some hardwood repair under my dishwasher that had leaked. A few boards had to be replaced and I met with Chuck to discuss the project. Chuck is very knowledgeable and came by to assess the extent of damage after I moved the old dishwasher. He worked hard to match the hardwood as best he could. The floors are 25 years old but you can see the nice job he did in the attached picture. In addition he touched up a spot that had a cracked hardwood board and you can't even see the repair!! Kyle came out to do the actual job and he was thorough and really cleaned up after he was gone. I plan on having Chuck and his team replace my laundry room floors and 2 upstairs bathroom floors in 2025 with porcelain hardwood tile and expect that the craftsmanship I see on this small project will be shown once again. They really take pride in their work and it shows. I highly recommend this company to all those who want to know that their floors will be done correctly, look great and will last for years to come.
Sharon Peete 09/20/24 — google
Chuck and his team did a superb job with repairs to an old floor with many missing and damaged boards and did a great job with the refininshing where there was a lot of stains. They were responsive, on time, on budget and very conscientious and it was clear they wanted it to look great at a competiitive price. I highly recommend them and would hire them again!
Brad Tocher 09/19/24 — google
Good communication and timeliness - on time for the estimate - called to adjust job arrival time. Did nice job on small entryway tile removal and replacement. May use again for other flooring projects and recommend to others also.
Margaret Fleming 08/26/24 — google
Chuck and his crew where very professional, cleaned up all scraps and left the area very clean.
Jim Weil 08/15/24 — google
Chuck was very thorough with explaining the whole process and his team did a great job of refinishing our wood floor.
Kelly Karns 07/23/24 — google
Chuck knew exactly what to do for my damaged hardwood floors.He was, above all, professional, knowledgeable, and made my options easy to choose with very low costs! I will definitely use Footprints Floor again as well as highly recommend them to all my friends and colleagues..
Rosalyn Haley 06/21/24 — google
We are thrilled with our relationship with Footprints Floors. Both Chuck William the ower, and Kyle, his installer, have exceeded our expectations. We started with a small project to replace our master bath floor due to a toilet leak. The leak was missed by the original installer who did a new shower and floor and returned to address the leak with a new wax ring. Thanks to Chuck and Kyle they discovered a faulty sewer flange which was repaired by Stephen's Plumbing. Both agreed, if missed, we could have been looking at a new floor and posible family room ceiling. Happy with the initial project we gave Footprints new issues to solve: a leaking hall bath shower and defective broken tiles in our family room and kitchen, with no spare tiles. Chuck did the caulking and grouting to seal the hall bath leaks, and cleaned the harvested tile, and Kyle laid the new foyer flooring while harvestimg the extra tiles for the repairs. The results are outstanding. We had initially contacted another vendor for the project who ghosted us (possible the job was to small for their taste). Our win!
John Wray 06/18/24 — google
Professional quality service at a good price! Chuck and team believe in customer service and making sure you get what you paid for. Thanks again team!
