01 What We Do

Every layer,
slab to finish

Core Floorings Inc is a concrete flooring contractor, not a carpet or tile shop. We handle the work under and on top of the slab for commercial and industrial buildings in Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, so the finished floor performs the way it was specified.

All Services
  1. FLAT, LEVEL PLANE

    Self-leveling underlayment

    Self-leveling underlayment and toppings that take out high and low spots so your slab meets flatness specs before the finished floor goes down.

    • Corrects high and low spots in existing slabs
    • Self-leveling underlayments and toppings
    • Preps floors for tile, LVT, carpet or coatings

02 Our Promise

Floors that perform.
Jobs that run right.

A commercial floor is part of how a building works. When it fails, the whole operation feels it. Here is what every Core Floorings customer can count on.

  1. 01

    Prep before product

    Every Core Floorings job starts with surface prep and slab moisture testing. Coatings, toppings and polished finishes are only as good as the concrete underneath, so we never skip the part you can't see.

  2. 02

    Clear, itemized bids

    Our bids spell out the scope, the flooring system and the price line by line, so owners and general contractors can compare apples to apples and avoid change-order surprises.

  3. 03

    Work planned around you

    Commercial floors go in while businesses keep running. We plan phasing and cure times with you up front and give you a schedule you can hand to your team.

  4. 04

    A direct line to the owner

    You talk to the people doing the work. The Core Floorings owner stays involved from the first walkthrough to the final walk, and calls get returned.

How a project runs

Four steps from first call to a floor you can put to work.

  1. 1

    Walkthrough

    We visit the site, test the slab and confirm the floor's job.

  2. 2

    Itemized bid

    Scope, system and price in writing, line by line.

  3. 3

    Prep + install

    Grinding, repairs, mitigation, then the specified system.

  4. 4

    Final walk

    We walk the floor with you and hand off care instructions.
