Fulton Market loft conversions
Cold-storage and packing buildings turned into homes, with heavy timber, exposed brick, and floors that are rarely flat. Deck preparation is most of the work here.
Flooring in the West Loop
The West Loop runs from Randolph Street's restaurant row through Fulton Market's converted meatpacking buildings and out into new residential blocks. Brick, timber, and steel here — and floors that have to live up to them. We sell and install all of ours in house.

Homes in West Loop
New West Loop construction
Modern buildings with concrete decks, tall windows, and an appetite for wide plank and large-format tile.
Randolph Street residences
Living above the restaurants means noise from below and hard-wearing entries. A dense underlayment and a durable entry material both pay off.
Row houses and townhomes
The pockets of low-rise stock west of Halsted allow solid nail-down hardwood over wood subfloors — the traditional install.

What We Install Here
Large-format porcelain
Our West Loop Porcelain collection came straight out of these kitchens — warm gray, big format, tight joints.
Character-grade hardwood
Hickory and rustic oak with knots and color movement, which suits brick and timber far better than a uniform floor.
Wide-plank engineered oak
Stable over concrete, wide enough to match loft proportions.
Rigid-core LVP
For lower levels and hardworking mudrooms where water is a matter of when, not if.

Working in West Loop
- 01
Restaurant-row delivery timing
Randolph and Fulton congest around service hours. We deliver early so trucks are not fighting the dinner rush.
- 02
Loft deck flattening
We survey the deck and correct slope properly rather than floating a floor over a problem.
- 03
Permit and dumpster coordination
Where a renovation needs curb space or debris removal, we arrange it rather than leaving it to you.
- 04
Dust containment
Open loft plans get sealed containment before any cutting or sanding begins.
West Loop questions
Good to Know
- My Fulton Market loft floor slopes. Can it be fixed?
- Almost always. We measure the deck across the whole unit, then flatten it with the method that suits the structure before the finish floor is installed.
- What tile works best in a West Loop kitchen?
- Large-format porcelain. It gives you fewer grout joints, a flat calm surface, and it handles a heavily used loft kitchen without staining.
- Can I get solid hardwood in the West Loop?
- In a townhouse or row house with a wood subfloor, yes. In a concrete-deck loft or new tower, engineered wood is the correct and more stable choice.
