Chicago winters don't go easy on floors. Salt and slush tracking in from the front steps, humidity that climbs every July, older hardwood subfloors in vintage two-flats and bungalows that need real attention before anything goes down – North Side homeowners deal with all of it. Floor Coverings International® was built for exactly this market. Instead of making you fight traffic to a showroom, we bring the Mobile Flooring Showroom® directly to your door.
Browse hundreds of samples from the comfort of your own space. Our Design Associate will be there to answer any questions you may have as well as discuss care and maintenance on different flooring types.

As part of a nationally recognized flooring network, Floor Coverings International® has access to premium product lines, exclusive manufacturer partnerships – including top brands like Shaw – and pricing that independent local shops simply can't match. But none of that changes the fact that we're your neighbors. You get the selection and resources of a national operation with the personal attention of a locally rooted flooring company. It's genuinely the best of both situations, and Chicago homeowners notice the difference.
We're not a call center or a big-box chain routing your job to whoever's available. Floor Coverings International® is locally owned and operated, serving Chicago's North Side communities. We understand the quirks of vintage Chicago construction: narrow gangways, radiant heat systems under tile, aging subfloors in three-flats. That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a training manual, and you get a mixed bag of results if an out-of-towner is looking for information about your specific neighborhood online. Working through our neighborhood, door by door, street by street, and shaking hands all along the way has given us invaluable knowledge into the challenges homeowners face.
When combined with knowledge gained from living in Illinois’ unpredictable weather conditions for decades, we have a keen understanding of what flooring works well in Chicago-area homes.
Shopping for floors in a warehouse or cookie-cutter business is disorienting – samples under fluorescent lighting, no sense of how anything will actually look in your living room. Our Mobile Flooring Showroom® eliminates all of that. We pull up to your Chicago home loaded with an extensive product catalog, and your Design Associate walks you through every option in your real space, under your natural light, next to your existing furniture and finishes. For flooring companies in Chicago, this approach is still rare – and once homeowners experience it, they tell us they'd never go back to the traditional way.
Nobody likes a surprise on the final invoice. With Floor Coverings International®, you get a down-to-the-penny estimate before any work starts– materials, labor, removal, all of it. There are no hidden charges added after installation and no vague line items that inflate the total. For Chicago homeowners navigating flooring installers for the first time, that kind of clarity matters. You'll know exactly what you're spending and can see what you're getting against the aesthetics of your home. Which makes the whole decision a lot less stressful.
Installation day isn't the finish line for us. Floor Coverings International® follows up with post-installation inspections and quality checks to make sure everything looks and performs the way it should. We build long-term relationships with Chicago homeowners – not one-and-done transactions. See what your North Side neighbors are saying in our reviews. Their experiences reflect what we aim for on every job: a process that's smooth from first consultation to final walkthrough, with no loose ends.
Every Chicago home has its own personality – and its own set of demands. A vintage Greystone calls for something different than a new construction condo off the Red Line. The Mobile Flooring Showroom® carries the full range so you're never making compromises you don't have to.
We partner with respected national brands to back up that range with real quality. And we'll help you weigh the tradeoffs honestly – not steer you toward whatever has the highest margin.
Transparent pricing, genuine local expertise, and a showroom that comes to your door – that's what sets Floor Coverings International® apart from the typical flooring companies in Chicago. We'll handle the details so you can focus on the part that actually matters: choosing a floor you'll love for years to come. Call (773) 571-0119 or schedule an in-home consultation to get started.
Working with Brian at FCI was amazing! They met with me right away and were able to install carpet quickly between guests at our Airbnb. I highly recommend FCI and will definitely be using them again soon at our own house.

I am really happy with the installation of our new flooring. They did a great job removing the old carpet and installing the new wood floors, and left the space clean when they were done. Communication was great, and the installer went above and beyond to make the flooring look great. I would absolutely recommend using these guys. I was a little hesitant bc it sounds like some massive chain of flooring at first, but it's owned by a guy in the neighborhood and he's really nice and wants to do jobs well. 10/10 - recommend them!

encounter multiple project estimates. Even if you decide not to engage
our services, we are committed to ensuring the success of your
project. Here are three approaches you can employ to compare

Floor Coverings International® offers a warranty of at least one (1) year on installation and workmanship, with extended warranties available at select locations. For details, please contact your local branch. Additionally, the majority of our flooring products include a factory-direct limited warranty that safeguards against manufacturer defects. These warranties typically extend for up to 10 years, ensuring long-lasting protection and customer satisfaction
Yes! The products showcased in our mobile showroom come with a
factory-direct limited warranty. This warranty provided by the
manufacturer offers coverage for product defects, ensuring that issues
like stains on a stain-resistant carpet are addressed.
It’s
important to note that these warranties generally do not cover regular
wear and tear, and their typical duration is up to ten years.
Many of our Floor Coverings International® locations have local
warehouses or storefronts, but visits are usually by appointment
only.
Most customers browse our products at an on-site
consultation. We bring our entire flooring catalog to each
appointment, so you can visualize how different materials and designs
will look in your unique space.
