Shorewood, Will County

Flooring Installation in Shorewood

Get a Shorewood entry, mudroom or laundry floor that stands up to wet boots and a leaking washer, set in tile on a flat, solid base.

Shorewood flooring for the rooms that get wet

Our crew installs luxury vinyl plank, laminate, engineered hardwood and tile. Tile is our usual pick for baths, entries and laundry rooms, and luxury vinyl handles most kitchens and living areas. Either one needs a surface that meets the manufacturer's flatness spec, so we level, patch or sand the subfloor before anything goes down. Base, shoe molding and transitions come with the job.

We cover Shorewood, coming in on I-55, Route 59, Route 52 and Black Road, with the DuPage River running through town. If your Shorewood laundry room or back entry takes water, snow melt and salt all winter, the floor in that room should be one that can handle it. Tile needs a stiff subfloor and the right backer underneath or the grout cracks, so we check how much the floor flexes before we lay anything out. We pull the washer and dryer, set the tile, then reconnect the water lines, the drain hose and the dryer vent once the grout has cured.

Flooring Installation by ONIT Solutions

What a Shorewood tile or plank floor includes

Washer and dryer moved

We pull the washer and dryer out, cap what needs capping and reconnect water, drain and vent at the end.

Flex check on the subfloor

We check how much the floor gives, since tile cracks on a floor that bounces.

Backer board or membrane

The right underlayment goes down under tile so the floor stays stiff and the grout stays intact.

Entry and mudroom tile

Tile set flat at the door so it meets the threshold without a lip to catch your foot.

Grout and sealing

Grout chosen for the room, with sealing where the product needs it.

Transitions to the next room

A clean transition where tile meets the wood or vinyl in the hall.

How a Shorewood floor job runs

We measure the rooms and check the subfloor on a free visit, then send a written estimate. It lists the tear-out, the backer, the tile or plank and the trim on separate lines. If the old floor comes up and the subfloor is water-damaged from an old washer leak, you see it, get a written price and approve it before we replace it. We give you the days the laundry will be out of service, keep to them, and walk the room with you once everything is reconnected.

  • Subfloor checked for flex before tile
  • Washer and dryer reconnected when we finish
  • Backer chosen for the room
  • Days without laundry named up front
  • Water damage priced before repair
  • Threshold and transitions finished
FAQ

Flooring Installation in Shorewood: questions

How long will my laundry be out of service?
Plan on two to four days for a tiled laundry room, since the tile has to set before grout and the grout has to cure before the washer goes back. We tell you the exact days before we start.
Is tile or vinyl better for a Shorewood mudroom?
Both handle water. Tile wears longer under salt and grit, and luxury vinyl is warmer and softer underfoot. We lay out the tradeoffs for your room at the estimate.
Do I need a permit for a new floor in Shorewood?
New flooring on its own usually does not. If we move a washer drain or other plumbing and the village of Shorewood requires a permit for it, we pull it.
Do you install floors around Shorewood?
Yes, we also do flooring in Joliet, Minooka, Channahon and Crest Hill.
How do I get a quote?
