Our entire experience with Universal Carpeting has exceeded our expectations. John's input was helpful during the carpet color and quality selection process. Dawn had expedited the delivery and installation schedule to meet with our available timeline. The day our new carpet was delivered the installers Sergio and Efron arrived on time and explained to us what to expect during the installation. The installers worked very efficiently and took great care cleaning up after the install was complete. Our carpet looks wonderful and we would highly recommend Universal to anyone in need of new carpeting. Larry S.

Universal Carpet finished our third and largest project so far. They installed COREtec vinyl plank over concrete, which turned out to be a challenge to get the surface flat enough, since part of it was glued down wood, but it worked. The carpet guys came and finished the transitions and they turned out better than expected. The floor looks great, the installers were great, and we are glad we did it.

Local Elgin company was critical when selecting a vendor. Service was great. Cary was able to get our carpets installed earlier than originally scheduled. Would highly recommend Universal Carpets to anyone.

I had some LVF put into my kitchen last week. As this was a long process on my part, I was so happy with the results! The installers were great. If a problem came up, they solved it. The floor looks great and will have new carpeting installed in another room in the Spring. Larry and Dawn are great to deal with and were always there for me with suggestions, and samples to take home. It took me awhile, but I got the floor I dreamed of!

From the moment I walked into your store. I was impressed by the amount of samples available. I explained my situation to Larry, explaining I needed this carpeting quickly. Larry was courteous, professional and really helpful. Based on my selections he sent away for samples. He came out to my home later that day and I returned to the store a few days later. Based on my needs and carpet selections, Larry suggested an in house carpeting which I fell in love with. My carpet was installed the following week and it’s beautiful. The price was very fair. This company and their staff including Dawn are outstanding. I highly urge anyone looking for flooring to consider Universal. I know if I need carpeting in the near future, they will be my first choice. Forget Big Box stores. I believe in supporting my local businesses!

I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how happy we are with your service. The guys that installed our carpet were great to work with. They took the time to scrape the floor and to tighten up squeaky spots on our stairs. We are very happy. Thank you Rudy and Carol

The sales reps were professional, knowledgeable, helpful and efficient. They provided excellent service! We ordered the carpet at the beginning of December and it was installed before Christmas, which was astounding. The installers did a fantastic job; they placed my furniture back in place, cleaned the area,and were friendly and efficient. Great work! The carpet we ordered was what we were looking for and I am happy with the results.

Cary Saar, owner, and his staff were professional and very experienced with the decision making process to update our condo flooring. He did an in home estimate and brought samples that were relative to our needs which helped "narrow the search." The installers went above my expectations. Their skill level was superb. They kept the work areas organized and clean. They installed shoe molding which does look better than quarter round. They used leveling compound to make sure the floor would be ready for new luxury vinyl plank. They carefully removed and then replace all of the closet doors. They remedied some transition areas and even swept and vacuumed when the job was completed! The job began and ended as scheduled and there were no surprises. Thank you for helping us complete a beautiful project. My tenant was able to move in the next day!

5/5 Stars We absolutely love our maple hardwood flooring. Most of the work was done three years ago, and still looks like new (even with 2 dogs) so we just had Universal back again to do another room with the same hardwood. This additional flooring was a smaller project, so we were able to get on the schedule for labor within a few days of the material delivery. Hands down one of the best improvements to our home at a very fair price. They also installed seriously stain-resistant carpet in the master bedroom and walk-in closet. Great to work with Cary, Dawn, and the pro installation team.

LOVED our experience. From the minute we walked in all our questions were answered. We explained what we were looking for in terms of carpet and pad. We were directed to the carpets that fit our need. Once we narrowed down the selection we were ordered larger samples to put in the various rooms to make our final selection. The installation was professional and quick- a whole house in 2 days. Would give 6 stars if I could!

I love my new carpeting. It’s better than I expected from the sample. It is so plush and feels so great to walk on it. It was an excellent value. I did checkout a variety of local carpeting companies. I picked Universal because of the reviews, the quality of the carpet and the value. Larry is the associate that worked with us. He was professional and knowledgeable. He explained all of my options so that I could make an informed decision. I appreciate his time and thoughtful consideration. I would highly recommend Universal Carpeting.

We asked family and friends for referrals and because our hunt for carpeting for our newly finished basement. We had no idea on what we were looking for. Out of the places we went, we were most comfortable with the knowledge and honesty of Universal. They were a couple bucks more, however, when I showed the competitive bid, they matched it immediately. The install went well. The installers were overly professional and clean. They put down tarps on my hardwood floors as not to damage them while walking to and from the doorway. They worked hard all day getting it done (barely even took a break). Overall, we are very satisfied, and we will be using Universal again soon when we redo our second story carpeting.

Cary was great. He took his time to explain the different flooring options and was patient with us as we made our decisions. His price was competitive with some of the larger flooring retailers. His personal attention, the quality of his flooring products, and price made the decision easy to give Universal Carpet our flooring business. His installation crew did a great job installing our flooring and everything looks great.

I was looking to purchase a very high quality carpet that would last for many years. They have a great selection of carpet, and were very helpful with gathering statistics on a few brands so that I could easily compare and make a choice. I had an emergency that required a last minute change of the installation date. They were so helpful and went out of their way to accommodate our need to reschedule for a different time on the same date. The installers were professional and friendly, and most importantly, did a very good job. The carpet looks great, and the seams are not noticeable at all. Cary was great and responded quickly to questions through emails and phone calls. I would not hesitate to recommend Universal to family and friends, and will no doubt buy here again.

I had already gotten 2 estimates but my daughter said "try Universal, they are going to do mine". So I called - made an appointment and Larry came to measure and give me an estimate. Larry suggested I visit the showroom to look at carpet samples - which I did. The estimate was definitely affordable for me. I picked out carpet and floor tile colors. What was so wonderful was I had no pressure - because I had painting, cabinet rearrangements, lighting fixtures, new stove and exhaust fan to be installed. Larry said to contact him two weeks before I was ready for installation and they would set a date. My daughters and I did what we could to make the furniture lighter - easier for moving. Josh and Jake were my installers - fantastic people. Moved everything - making sure I wasn't blocked in from my TV and bathroom. They went about their jobs - hardly knew they were here. Questions were asked by me and answered fully. I was just overwhelmed when the job was done - all the furniture moved back into place - floor vacuumed - a kitchen/dining area to be proud of. I have recommended Universal to many people.

I am thrilled with my experience with Universal Carpet Inc. I did want to support our local business. Larry came to my house for the estimate I knew it was the right choice. All the details talked about were met and done as were discussed. Jake and Jacob did a perfect installation of carpet and the added entrance flooring. I am recommending Universal to have the job done right.

The overall experience with Universal was excellent. When we first visited the store we had shopped the big box stores and a couple of carpets stores in Crystal Lake,Algonquin, and Cary. We knew what we wanted and had a price quote per sq.ft/yard. Universal was friendly and helpful and priced less than or equivalent to other quotes. So we proceeded to the home measurement stage. Everything went well and on installation day the installers showed. They were outstanding. Friendly, informative, clean, neat, and most of all explained in detail every question we asked. They cleaned up and left. What a great feeling - everything went well and we had nothing to complain about. Nice to know there are still good service companies out there, meeting the needs of consumers like us.

I did my homework and chose Universal because of their great reviews... I wasn't disappointed..they did a top notch job of helping me choose the hardwood wood flooring, their installers were the best I have ever had... when they left, I had beautiful floors and so clean, you wouldn't know they had been there..they were also the best price of my three estimates... you can't find a better company to go with and I am hard to please.. fabulous job Cary... and thank you Dawn. You made it sooooo easy

I had Universal Carpet for new flooring in my kitchen and bath and new carpeting in my living/dining area and bedrooms. I also had my tub converted to a walk-in shower. Cary helped me pick out the products and gave me a great price quote. Chris, Robert, Jake, and Josh provided excellent work/installation. Everything looks beautiful! I love it!
