Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood floor installation can make a compact brick ranch feel bigger and brighter. If yours already has oak in some rooms, we'll help you choose boards for the kitchen or an addition that sit well beside it.
Built on 1920s Street Grids
Quality Flooring Skokie, IL
Skokie's big building years were the 1950s and 1960s, when houses went up on streets first laid out in the 1920s. Those brick houses, flats and condos each call for a different kind of floor.

From Niles Center to the World's Largest Village
Skokie was called Niles Center until 1940. A 1920s land rush followed the rapid transit line to the new Dempster Street station, but the Great Depression stopped it and left thousands of lots empty.
Building came back strong after World War II, and in 1962 the village board proclaimed Skokie the World's Largest Village. We install floors in homes and businesses across the village, from single rooms to whole houses.
Brick Ranches, Split-Levels and Two-Flats
Postwar planning in Skokie favored single-family homes with 40 to 55 foot frontages, and listings saved in the village's history archive show brick ranches and split-levels from the 1950s. Census figures compiled by the region's planning agency show nearly two-thirds of homes were built between 1940 and 1969.
The village has plenty of flats and condos too. About 13 percent of homes are in two- to four-unit buildings and nearly 19 percent are in buildings with 20 or more units, which is where durable, water-resistant vinyl plank earns its keep.
- Typical home built in 1959
- About one in four homes is rented
- 5.6 rooms in the median home
Flooring Services in Skokie
Hardwood, vinyl plank and laminate, installed by the same family-owned crew.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
Vinyl plank is a smart choice for Skokie basements, kitchens and rental units in two-flats, because it handles spills and heavy use with little upkeep.
Laminate Flooring
If you want the look of wood without the cost of hardwood, laminate is a strong fit for bedrooms and family rooms in a ranch or split-level, and it handles pets and kids well.

Skokie has strong retail and manufacturing bases, and we install commercial flooring for offices, shops and other business spaces across the village.

Skokie Flooring Questions
Still have a question? Call (847) 361-0099.
What's the best floor for a 1950s brick ranch in Skokie?
It depends on the room. Hardwood suits living areas and bedrooms, while vinyl plank is the safer choice for kitchens and basements, since solid hardwood isn't meant for below-grade spaces.
Can you install flooring in a two-flat or condo unit?
Yes. A unit in a two-flat or condo is a home like any other, and vinyl plank or laminate usually makes the most sense where tenants or neighbors below are involved.
How much experience does your team have?
Our installers bring more than 100 years of combined experience, and Quality Installs has completed more than 10,000 projects since Bob Leibrandt founded it in 2004.
