Daniel and his team were beyond amazing to work with! We purchased a condo in Lincoln Park and he met us for a walk through before we closed. He walked us in detail through the entire project and was extremely knowledgeable. He even took the time to sit down with us and go over the contract line by line which is more than I can say for any other contractor we worked with.
I wish we could have hired them for every single project in our home! ADC Floors installed new hardwood flooring in 3 bedrooms and sanded and re-stained the living room the match. Everyone who comes over can't believe the floors were not laid down at the same time. It is seamless! The crew was always on time, professional and so easy to work with. We would highly recommend them (and we have) and would without a doubt use ADC Floors again.

Daniel, ADC's owner, was introduced to me by my builder as a "floor scientist, " I didn't think much of it until I worked with him more on my new construction project. I would now describe it as the perfect characterization. He approaches his work with an incredibly high level of thoughtfulness and curiosity. I am a rental landlord in the Northside of Chicago and have well over a decade of interactions with different people in trades and rarely have the pleasure of encountering someone who doesn't just take pride in their work and seeks to improve their craft.
Whatever new material and technologies are coming out or are on the horizon, expect Daniel to not only know about them but have already experimented with them in the field. On a walkthrough of one of my units, his innate curiosity permeated through when he asked me about my own experience with a specific flooring material I put directly on another that he observed.
The area had nothing to do with the job he was viewing. His inquiry was truly to understand better the viability of the application in the field for the end-user regarding sound transmission. It may seem quite ordinary at face value, but in well over a decade, I have never had someone who worked in the construction/renovation world ask me such a curiosity-driven question.
I would describe ADC's pricing as very competitive, and based on Daniel's vast knowledge of different materials, he could probably help you value engineer a solution that will meet your needs where others would not have the knowledge, capacity, or interest in doing so. When I first started in real estate, I typically made price point the sole basis for which contractor I used, always assuming that if all the bids I was getting were from tradespeople who have done their trade for 30+yrs and I provide the material, the quality would probably be the same.
I am now paying the consequences for those actions, particularly in flooring, not so much in shoddy work but more in missed opportunities to do something different. In short, when Daniel speaks about flooring, you walk away feeling like the person supervising your project probably understands the flooring material they are installing better than the engineers themselves who designed it.
Beyond this, too often, my experience with contractors when approached about a construction project is the starting point is always a very negative tone. Typically they start by pointing out all the negatives and challenges and how hard it will be, likely to justify a high price. Daniel instead immediately looked at every turn where there was a potential problem and stated what the solution could be.

Daniel and his team did wood flooring to the apartment that I bought. The living room area already had wood flooring in it, but I wanted to get rid of carpets in the bedrooms and have wood flooring on them as well. They were very efficient and did a very clean job. They also matched the colors perfectly. It has been 4 years; the floors are still very sturdy and I get compliments on them from guests. I am extremely satisfied with their work.

The team at ADC was communicative and easy to schedule with. They did a great job on our condo floors. We asked to go with a natural color, no stain, and it looks even better than I had imagined. I do wish I had done an in-person estimate, though, because there were a couple spots that I would have rather discussed with the manager-level guys rather than the guys who ultimately did the work. Because of that communication gap, they had to come back to touch up a spot.

We have used ADC floors to refinish existing floors as well installing new wood floors where carpeting used to be. We have been extremely happy each time we worked with ADC floors. Our initial consultations were very informative, and we learned a lot! The project managers and installers have been timely, helpful, and great to work with. We also absolutely love the finished product. Our floors are beautiful!

Daniel, Johnny, and the entire crew at ADC were great to work with. We picked out and purchased engineered hardwood floors ourselves from a retailer, and ADC did an awesome job installing them, as well as all new baseboards. They provided a very detailed breakdown of all costs and were finished much faster than the estimated timeline. There was a minor issue after the job was "finished" with the way that the new baseboards met the old ones in a room that we weren't getting refloored, but they fixed it quickly after we let them know, and the end result looks great.

ADC flooring is great! Had ADC install new white oak flooring in our new home. The job turned out beautifully. Working with Daniel and Johnny has been nothing more than a pleasure. Extremely informative and patient to your needs. Work was done very professionally and job was left very clean. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone. They always kept us informed on what was happening and were always accessible when we had any questions.
They have lots of flooring options and will help you decide what's best for your situation and budget. I've worked with flooring guys in the past and never dealt with the professionalism that ADC has displayed. If your looking for new flooring or are refinishing old flooring, I would definitely reach out to these guys before committing to anyone else. You won't be disappointed.

We had our initial hardwood floors installed by ADC years ago and partially refinished a few weeks ago. The quality of their work then and now is outstanding. Working with Danny and his family was a pleasure - excellent communication, punctuality and fair prices for meticulous work. Highly recommended!

ADC Floors has been my floor refinishing company since I started my company. Even though he has done countless floor jobs for me as a contractor, I've also used him on a personal level. Daniel and all of his crews are reliable in every possible way. Great communication, fair pricing, flexible to work with, and always professional. All of my clients have been nothing but pleased with their work, which is incredibly important to me as a contractor.
His work reflects on my company and he has never let me down. I can't imagine working with anybody else for my flooring needs. I would, and very often do, refer ADC floors to anybody.

The team at ADC Floors was extremely professional and easy to work with throughout my first major flooring project for our manufacturing facility office space. Daniel did not pressure us to purchase more expensive flooring and was present throughout the entire process. Wouldn't think twice about working with the ADC team again.

Daniel and his team are AMAZING! Daniel is such a good spirit and his work is impeccable. I needed to have my floors re-done after a flood, and ADC made it easy. I went to Tokyo for a week, and the floors were installed by the time I got back. It was like magic! Also, Daniel is fair and trustworthy, and I'd definitely do business with ADC again!

ADC replaced the flooring in two of our condo units (the first 8 years ago and the other in July). They're easily the most organized, high-quality and fairly-priced flooring installers hired by anyone in our circle of friends and work colleagues. The details. High Quality Installation: On both occasions, the work was flawless. Upon inspection both building managers and their engineers complemented the work and offered to place ADC on their approved vendor list.
Efficient and Proactive: Automated project mgmt system, so you'll get text reminders/updates, online invoicing, etc. and they always arrive when promised. ADC also thinks through any problems AHEAD of time and offers solutions to save you time, money and headaches. This includes their own installation, as well as how it might impact the entire renovation process (transitions to tile, kitchen cabinet installation, etc.) Great Flooring Selections (Showroom): When I mentioned that I was struggling to find an affordable flooring option which could withstand the sun and temperature changes of a high-rise condo, they shared a great option from their own showroom (Tekka line of products). Johnny even found several boards (of extra product from their warehouse) and placed them on the floor so I could see the variation before purchasing (vs. a standard 24" x 24" sample).
Cooperation / Teamwork: On both occasions they had to work with tough high-rise building rules, demo material that wasn't removed and a surprise visit from the tile installer. They managed it all beautifully (and without complaint!) Pricing / Transparency: We received their estimate WITHIN 2 HOURS of the appointment and it included over 20 line items, so we knew exactly what was included and how much each item would cost (e.g. moving furniture, flooring materials, etc.).
It made the installation seamless and headache-free, bc everything was already in writing. We also appreciated no hidden or last minute fees (and pricing comparable to others). Cleanliness: They protected all of our belongings from dust, cleaned up the jobsite every day and left the unit in great condition. Not a scratch anywhere.

ADC refinished our floors when we moved in to our condo 5 years ago - we had no issues at that time. After normal wear and tear, we needed six boards repaired this summer. Daniel came out and looked at the job and got back to us in a few days with a quote. After thinking it over, accepting the quote and making a 50% deposit, it took several days for ADC to get back to me to schedule a date.
Less than 24 hours before that scheduled date, I received a call asking to push the time back 90 minutes. On the day scheduled for work the crew was over 30 minutes late with no phone call. When I spoke with Daniel on the phone, he was somewhat apologetic, but also stated that they are a service industry and indicated that at least they are better than Comcast. Daniel debated with me for 10 minutes about why I should be grateful that his team were there at all and that I should not be upset that they changed the appointment time and then showed up late with no phone call. Jose and his crew did not seem familiar with what the job was when they showed up.
The work was done fairly well. I would have appreciated if they were more careful applying the stain to the new boards - too much stain ended up on the surrounding boards. Because of the described issues, I will use a different flooring company in the future. UPDATE: Daniel apparently sent an email asking to schedule on the same day the bid was accepted this was send to a different email, and I never saw it.
When I called the main office, it took them several days to call me back to confirm the scheduling. Daniel provided screen shots from his phone in an email to prove that I was wrong. The email included the phrases "Integrity?", "How can you post a review and lie?", "Do you understand that can be defamation?" I would ask that Daniel please refrain from contacting me or my family.

We had ADC Floors refinish the hardwood flooring running throughout our new condo. They patched, sanded, varnished and sealed the entire unit in under a week and the results were beautiful. We had two other contractors tell us our floors weren't worth saving due to damaged/broken areas and less than stellar repair work done in the past, but Daniel and his team worked miracles on them and left us with what feels like new floors for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
The entire team from start to finish were very responsive and respectful of our property, and we really appreciated the daily updates on their progress. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the ADC Floors crew to anyone looking to save your original hardwood floors. They will do a great job.

Daniel and his team did a wonderful job installing hardwood flooring (replaced wall to wall carpeting) in my loft condo. He is thorough, committed to the use of high quality materials, detailed oriented, and a problem solver. He listens to the client and also offers informed advice. The project was completed in slightly less than the time frame quoted in a very efficient manner.
A few minor issues afterward were promptly attended to and resolved. He was recommended by a friend whose hardwood floors are also gorgeous. I am so happy with the installation and do not hesitate to recommend ADC Floors.

Disgusting. Don't ever ever use this company. They completed a 'power wash' on my floors which I agreed to. When it was done the technicians told me that it 'looked so bad' and it was 'dangerous'. The edges of the boards had raised creating a knife edge which could cut your feet. Also, the result was flaky and uneven - it looked so much worse than my original floors but they had limited English and told me that they needed to call the boss.
I left it 2 days and then received a bill to which I wrote a full and informative note back explaining what had happened. They are now threatening a lien against my home if they don't get their bill paid! Unbelievable. They never came to check on the floors, they never wanted to rectify, they just wanted money. This is the evidence of their threats. Please don't use them. EVER.

Don't use this company. They left our floors damaged and dangerous then threatened legal action without asking to check the work, the result or working out a solution. I've also read the complete text message chain (see previous review) and can confirm that he was threatening in his language after we asked for the sales person to stop texting. Our attorneys will resolve so that this doesn't happen to other Yelp-ers.

I recently had a wood floor installation project with ADC Floors and they did a fantastic job. It took me a while to find the right wood to match my current floor. Daniel had to come twice for estimations. But he was always patient and helpful. The estimation was accurate and was exactly what it cost in the end. Danny and the team was very professional, who did not only finish the job, but also mastered it.
They were puncuate, and spent only two days to replace the carpet with wood floors in my condo. The details were very nicely managed. Each piece is laid down nicely, the edges are clean. My favourate detail is where the new planks meets the old ones. They eliminated the trim between two rooms so the floor surface becomes continous. It turns out very nice and smooth and is exactly what I wanted.
Also they put a metal trim instead of a wood trim between the bedroom and the bathroom, which is also very thoughtful. The room was left very clean after the job. The whole process was completely hassle free. I would like to work with them again.

I would give more than 5 stars if I could! This was my first time buying hardwood flooring ever, so I had a lot to learn! I shopped around at 3 other floor places and did NOT receive nearly the same service I did as I did at ADC Floors. I stumbled upon their store front in my new neighborhood and I am so happy I stopped in! I am a first time home owner and was the process of installing hardwood throughout my entire home. Let's just say, I had a ton of questions.
The owner Daniel is extremely professional, very prompt and accommodating. I had so many questions with this being my first rodeo and he couldn't of been more thorough and helpful. I can also say the same for his installers and staff. The installers arrived on time every day and cleaned up very well after every day of work. I felt comfortable leaving the installers at my house while I went to work.
They were very kind, respectful and helpful as well. The project was completed in the amount of time I was quoted and the final bill was exactly what I was quoted early on. They installed solid acacia pre-finished hardwood and I am in love the results. I highly recommend ADC Flooring!

Daniel and his team arrived to do the flooring job at my condo in September, and the results passed with flying colors. There were no hidden charges after the initial estimate invoice, and the job was done within the estimated time. But that's not the best part about this company. I contacted Daniel about this project almost a year ago. At the time, I was negotiating with my insurance company for the cost of the repairs(due to a water leak upstairs).
As I negotiated with them for almost a year, Daniel was patient and helped/advised me through the process so that I could get what was due to me. This is going above and beyond his job description, and it showed that he very much cares about his clients being treated fairly. They are my goto flooring company from now on! Shawn

We had ADC floors replace our carpet with new hardwood floors. the difference was staggering! They took only 1.5 days to complete the project which was less than the estimated time they originally said. They are quick, efficient, understanding for their price, and just overall amazing! My husband and I couldn't be happier. Thank you!

This company is so professional. I have worked with contractors in the past, this flooring company is exceptional. ADC installed my flooring throughout my whole downstairs, 2 bdrm, family room, bathroom, we did LVT planks, it turned out gorgeous. They were on time, neat, skilled and efficient. The workers kept me informed as the job progressed. I would highly recommend them for any type of flooring needs, you can trust that they will do the job you want and expect. Do not look further, Thank you Daniel and your team, I appreciate your excellent hard work.

Back in September, ADC refinished my floors in my condo in River North. There were a couple glitches in terms of getting the job scheduled & started, but once those were resolved, the work was fast & professional. End result was excellent. I would highly recommend ADC & plan to hire them again for my other property up north.

Daniel and his team were great to work with. My fiance and I had been looking to replace the carpet in our master bedroom with hardwood floors that match the rest of the condo (great room/kitchen/foyer). It took us a really long time to find the manufacturer (Kahrs) of the existing floor in our condo (on our own) and they had SO many samples that we were having a hard time pinning down the right one.
But when I sent Daniel a picture of it, he made a model/recommendation that matched exactly. He also stated that they were a preferred installer by Kahrs as well. Daniel did arrive a little late to our free consult (but there was some sort of accident on Lake Shore Drive that night - corroborated by another friend of mine who was stuck in said mess) so it wasn't so much of a big deal.
I had to leave but he met with my fiance and gave a verbal estimate and in the morning time we had something in writing. Also, we had received an estimate from another installer earlier in the week, and ADC Floors came in much lower. We were able to quickly schedule the installation and was initially quoted 2 days worth of work (it only ended up being 1 full day and like 30 minutes to come back the next day to install a small piece of trim).
We also opted to move the furniture ourselves to save some money. On the day of installation, the installer showed up on time. As mentioned they were able to put down the floor in one day and we were happy with the result. It matches our existing floor completely and you really couldn't tell it wasn't "original" installation with a naked eye.
The crew kept everything as clean as possible (we were told they wrapped the cabinets and the clothes in the closet as well). I thought I'd never be -this- excited about floors but we are just so happy with the ease and how everything turned out. Thanks again Daniel, Johnny and Denisa!
