Our family has known of and used De Sitter Flooring since the early 1960s when they were located on Kedzie Avenue in Chicago. We traveled to the La Grange location looking for new hardwood flooring to replace our carpet. We worked with Allan in making our final selections which was a Red Oak wood. They sent a gentleman out to measure the rooms and we then had our quote back in a very short time. They were very competitive with another quote we had received and also offered a couple other promotions which were not included on the other quote. We had no problem with making our choice as to using De Sitter Flooring. Work was completed in a very timely manner and we are extremely happy and our new floors look fantastic. We are truly happy with our decision on using De Sitter Flooring.
Description of Work: De Sitter Flooring installed new hardwood floors in our recently purchased home.

It went very well. The service received in the showroom to select our flooring was exceptional! The staff was very friendly & knowledgable. Excellent customer service. They handled everything from assisting in the selection to the delivery of material, to the scheduling and follow through of the installation. The installers were prompt, friendly, clean and professional.

I needed new carpeting for the bedrooms in my home. My parents had previously purchased from DeSitter and had a good experience, so they referred me to them. The Carol Stream location was closest, so I stopped by on a Saturday Morning. Paul was my salesman and he educated me on the different styles and flooring options. Softness and cleanability were the main features I wanted. I was guided to the newer Smartstrand fiber which was soo soft and I was told could clean up most spills with only water. The carpet was available in different price points and I found one in their inventory which met my budget. It was installed within a week and the installers were polite and even vacuumed after completing the job. I will use them again in the future and would recommend them for service and quality.

First, I'm not the easiest customer. I had no idea what I was looking for when I walked into the DeSitter Tile & Stone Gallery. With so many options of tile and styles, I felt overwhelmed. I met the manager, Adam Sage. He was extremely knowlegeable, and had great design ideas. Adam was able to help me create an amazing bathroom. We used a lager subway tile on the walls with a glass accent and a 12x24 tile in a brick pattern on the floor. Adam was a joy to work with! The installers were on-time, professional and courteous. They cleaned up after each day and blocked off the room with plastic. I felt very comfortable with them in my home. I'm very happy with tile selection and installation from DeSitter.
Description of Work: I had my guest bath re-tiled by DeSitter. My floor and walls look GREAT!

I went to DeSitter in Carol Stream to look for carpet on a Monday . Tim was informative and eager to find a right fit for my needs that I was thrilled to have him come measure the basement the next morning. He brought samples that they have in stock and worked with my wife and found the perfect color. He gave us a fair and detailed quote the same day. The installation happened as planned 2 days later. The installer (Robert) was a real gentleman and hard worker. He even hauled the old carpet away and moved my heavy sofa without any problems. I would (and have) recommend DeSitter to all my friends.

The price was ridiculously high. The woman asked me if I had a finished stair case. I told her I did. She then argued with me and told me most staircases are not finished. I did not appreciate her attitude. They had a very nice variety, but I would never use their services.

Response from DeSitter Flooring
Member, When discussing stair runner projects with homeowners we always try to uncover potential problems. Most of the time when carpet is installed wall to wall on stairs the wood stairs are not finished under the carpet. If they are finished, they usually need some repair or refinishing. Since we never had the opportunity to measure or inspect the stairs in your home; all estimated pricing discussed for the project were just ballparks. Sincerely, Ken Holthaus Client Relations Manager DeSitter Flooring

They have installed carpet in two bedrooms. They came on time, the carpet was installed very well and they cleaned up after they left. They have stored carpet in a warehouse until it is ready to be installed. Setting up the appointment was easy to do and they came when they said they would. I am very happy with their work.
Description of Work: I purchased carpet and they have been kind enough to install it at three different times and keep the carpet in a warehouse until I am ready for it. I have not completed the last installment but the first two were done very well, installers came on time, cleaned up and did quality work.

Their service was excellent. They showed up when they said and didn't charge any extra. They even added on a few services. The person that did the measuring did it perfectly. The person that picked out the product was great also. She had a good eye for what would look good and we are very pleased. We are using this as a game room and she picked a durable material that will hold up. Their price was more reasonable than others we received and they were able to provide the estimate and do the work we needed more quickly.
Description of Work: They installed new flooring downstairs and on the stairs. They also did flooring in our kitchen and installed ceramic tile along the walls.

The prices were fair, but there was a defect in the carpeting. I was not satisfied with the choices they offered for the repair it. It was not the fault of that particular location, but they were the choices provided by headquarters. My niece went there as well for an estimate, but they never got back with her.
