Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood is a natural upgrade for the living rooms and bedrooms of a 1950s or 1960s Deerfield house once the old carpet comes out.

Settled in 1835, Built Out After the War
Horace Lamb and Jacob Cadwell settled here in 1835, and the spot went by Cadwell's Corner and then Leclair before residents voted 17 to 13 for the name Deerfield. The Caspar Ott log house, from 1837, is the oldest surviving building in Lake County.
Most of the village's homes came much later, as the population climbed from 3,288 in 1950 to 18,876 by 1970. From our base in Glenview, we work in homes and offices across the village.
Fifties and Sixties Houses, Plus a Wave of Newer Ones
In the latest Census estimates, 47 percent of Deerfield's homes date from 1940 to 1969 and only about 3 percent are older. Another third went up in 1990 or later, which gives the village a real mix of original postwar houses and newer ones.
In the older houses, check under the carpet before you plan around hardwood, since plywood subfloors made carpet the easy choice after the war. In any basement, finished or not, vinyl plank is a safer bet than solid wood.
- About three in four homes are detached houses
- About half of homes have four or more bedrooms
- About 14 percent built in 2010 or later
Flooring Services in Deerfield
Hardwood, vinyl plank and laminate, installed by the same family-owned crew.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
For vinyl flooring installation, basements, kitchens and laundry rooms are the usual spots, since vinyl plank shrugs off the moisture and spills that damage wood.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate gives busy family rooms a wood look with a surface that resists scratches from pets and kids, usually for less than hardwood.

Do you install floors in Deerfield offices?
Yes. We handle commercial flooring installation along with homes, including office spaces. Offices see rolling chairs and steady foot traffic, so vinyl plank is a common pick there.
