Flooring in Arlington Heights | Rainey's Decorating Center
Flooring
Rainey's Decorating Center is a window treatment and flooring store serving Arlington Heights and the surrounding suburbs, offering hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, and carpet. Our showroom lets you compare samples in person, ask questions, and see how a color looks in real light. We handle measuring, ordering, and installation, so one call covers the whole project.
What You Will Find at Our Flooring Store
Choosing a floor becomes easier when you can touch the material and walk on it. Photographs flatten grain and color, and a plank that looks warm on a screen can appear gray in your living room. Bring paint chips, a piece of trim, or photos of your rooms when you visit, and we will pull samples that complement what you already own.
Every project starts with a conversation about how the room is used. Pets, kids, sunlight, moisture, and daily foot traffic all point to different materials, and we would rather ask those questions up front than watch you replace a floor early.
Mohawk Flooring Across Every Category
Mohawk flooring spans the full range of categories, making it a practical choice for a whole-house project. You can use hardwood in the living room, laminate in the hallway, and vinyl in the basement while staying within a single product family, with a consistent color direction and clear warranty terms.
Anderson Tuftex® Flooring for Hardwood and Carpeting
Anderson Tuftex® flooring brings decades of craftsmanship to engineered hardwood and carpet. Anderson Tuftex® engineered hardwood is available in hickory, oak, maple, and walnut, with hand-scraped, wire-brushed, and sculpted surface textures.
Two finish options are available, Luster-Lock® Ultra and Aluminum Oxide, and we can walk you through how each one wears in a busy household. Anderson Tuftex® carpet lines share the same attention to color and texture, making it easier to coordinate a hardwood main floor with carpeted bedrooms.
Comparing Hardwood Flooring, Laminate Flooring, and Vinyl Flooring
Each material earns its place in a different part of the house. Here is how homeowners in our area typically sort through the options:
- Hardwood flooring can be refinished throughout its lifespan, making it a long-term choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.
- Engineered hardwood handles seasonal humidity swings better than solid plank, so it holds up in rooms where moisture levels fluctuate throughout the year.
- Laminate flooring gives you a wood look with a wear-resistant layer, and it takes daily abuse from chairs, dogs, and boots without complaint.
- Vinyl flooring, particularly luxury vinyl plank, is waterproof and installs over most existing subfloors, making it ideal for kitchens, baths, and basements.
Tell us your budget and walk us through your rooms, and we will give you a straight answer on which of these fit and which you can skip.
Carpet and Carpeting Options for Quiet, Comfortable Rooms
Carpet earns its keep in Chicago-area homes. It absorbs sound, keeps bedrooms warmer in January, and provides a soft place for kids to sit. We stock carpet in cut pile, loop, and patterned constructions across a wide range of price points.
Color matching matters here. Since we also offer custom drapery and other window treatments, we can place a carpet sample next to your drapery fabric and your wall color during the same visit to see how all three read together.
Working with a Local Flooring Installer
A quality plank installed poorly will gap, squeak, and cup within a year. Our crews check the subfloor condition, allow for expansion space, and set transitions cleanly at doorways. Careful prep work like this keeps a floor flat and quiet for years after the sale.
As your flooring installer, we manage the project from measurement through cleanup. You receive a written estimate that separates materials from labor, a firm installation date once the product arrives, and a phone number you can actually call. Furniture moving, old flooring removal, and haul-away can be included; ask about them when we come out to measure.
What to Expect From Your Project
Most jobs follow the same path. We measure your space, confirm the subfloor is sound, and prepare an estimate. You pick your material at the showroom; we place the order and schedule installation once everything arrives and any required acclimation time has passed.
Pricing depends on the material, square footage, and prep work, so we quote every job individually. Financing is also available for larger projects. Estimates are free, and you can take the numbers home and think about them.
