Printers Row lofts
Narrow, deep former printing houses with tall windows at each end. Running the plank the long way makes those rooms read as generously as they were built.
Flooring in the South Loop
The South Loop stretches from Congress down toward the Museum Campus and Prairie District, mixing printing-house lofts, mid-rise condos, and townhomes with real yards. We sell and install hardwood, carpet, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, and tile across all of it.

The buildings here
Homes in South Loop
Prairie District row houses
Historic low-rise stock on wood framing, which allows traditional solid nail-down hardwood and full sand-and-finish work.
Museum Campus high-rises
Lake-facing towers on concrete decks with association sound rules and reserved freight elevators.
Family townhomes
Three-level plans with stairs that take the most wear in the house. Stair treads and runners deserve their own conversation.

What We Install Here
Marble-look porcelain
Our Printers Row Marble-Look collection was drawn from these entry halls — veined, cool, and effectively maintenance-free.
Solid and engineered oak
Solid where the framing allows it, engineered where the slab calls for it. We recommend by structure, not by stock.
Walnut and deeper tones
Warmth for the taller, darker rooms of a historic loft.
Stair runners and carpet
Fitted on landings and treads to quiet the busiest surface in a townhouse.
Installed by our own crew
Working in South Loop
- 01
Museum Campus event traffic
Game days and festivals close streets down here. We schedule deliveries around the calendar so crews are not stuck south of Roosevelt.
- 02
Historic building care
Original stairs, trim, and vestibule tile are protected before material moves through them.
- 03
Street and alley loading
Where there's no dock, we arrange legal loading rather than blocking a residential lane.
- 04
Occupied-home phasing
For families staying in place, we work room by room so the house stays livable.
South Loop questions
Good to Know
- Can a Printers Row loft take solid hardwood?
- It depends on the deck. Many of these conversions sit on concrete or heavy timber, which points to engineered wood. We check the structure at the in-home measure and tell you plainly.
- What's best for a townhouse with kids and a dog?
- A hard-wearing engineered oak or rigid-core LVP on the main level, with carpet on the stairs and bedrooms. It's the combination most South Loop families settle on.
- Do you refinish existing historic floors?
- We can assess them. Sometimes an original floor has enough thickness left to sand and refinish, which is often the better outcome than replacement.
