We offer durable, stylish flooring that withstands high customer foot traffic and complements your brand image. From boutiques to restaurants, we offer slip-resistant surfaces that are easy to clean, helping your retail space look inviting and professional even under heavy use.

Icon
Medical & Healthcare Facilities

We provide hygienic flooring solutions for clinics, hospitals, and veterinary offices. We install medical-grade vinyl and other seamless floors that meet healthcare standards for sanitation and safety, ensuring a clean, germ-resistant surface that withstands frequent cleaning and wheelchair traffic.

Icon
Offices & Corporate Buildings

We offer professional flooring for offices, banks, and corporate lobbies. Popular options include carpet tiles for noise reduction, a polished look, and luxury vinyl planks for a modern aesthetic. Our team can also refinish existing hardwood in executive spaces for an upscale touch. These materials create a comfortable work environment while handling rolling chairs and constant use.

Icon
General Contractors & New Construction

We frequently partner on new commercial builds and renovations with general contractors. Our crew adheres to construction schedules and coordinates with other trades to install flooring efficiently. From office complexes to retail build-outs, we ensure the flooring phase is completed to spec and on time, helping projects stay on track.

Educational Institutions

Schools, universities, and daycare centers benefit from our durable, low-maintenance floors. We install floor tiles, vinyl, or carpet in classrooms and hallways that can endure heavy student traffic and daily wear. The result is a safe, easy-to-clean surface that lasts through semesters of use.

(We are proud to help local businesses beautify their spaces for long-term success, regardless of industry.)

Flooring Options

Commercial Flooring Options

Artisan Floor Works offers various commercial-grade flooring options to suit your business’s needs. All our materials are selected for their durability, performance, and style, designed to handle heavy traffic and long-term use without compromising on appearance:

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) & Vinyl Tile

Luxury vinyl flooring is a top choice for many McHenry and Libertyville businesses. LVP and commercial vinyl tiles are waterproof, scratch-resistant, and easy to maintain, while offering the high-end look of wood or stone. These floors are ideal for retail shops, restaurants, and office common areas – they can handle spills and heavy foot traffic without warping or staining. Our team also installs sheet vinyl and vinyl composition tile (VCT) for healthcare and industrial applications, providing seamless surfaces that stand up to constant use.

Carpet Tile & Commercial Carpet

Carpet tile combines carpet's comfort and noise reduction with modular convenience. Commercial carpet tiles are engineered for high traffic and stain resistance, making them perfect for offices, schools, and churches. One major benefit of carpet tile is that if damage occurs, it can be replaced piece by piece as needed, minimizing downtime and the cost of repairs. We offer a vast selection of durable loop-pile carpets and tiles that hide dirt and resist crushing, so your space maintains a professional, welcoming look.

Commercial Hardwood & Refinishing

For specific spaces like upscale restaurants, boutiques, or historic office buildings, hardwood flooring provides a classic, high-end appearance. We can install commercial-grade hardwood or engineered wood floors, or refinish existing hardwood floors to restore their beauty. Our dust-controlled sanding and refinishing process is ideal for older McHenry and Crystal Lake buildings that require an update without losing character. We apply tough commercial finishes for improved scratch resistance and longevity. (Hardwood adds warmth and prestige, though it may be best suited to lower-traffic areas or executive rooms due to maintenance needs.)

Laminate & Tile Flooring

We also offer commercial laminate floors for businesses that need them. Modern laminates can mimic hardwood or stone at a lower cost and are dimensionally stable even in changing humidity – a practical choice for certain offices or retail environments. Meanwhile, ceramic or porcelain tiles are standard in bathrooms, commercial kitchens, and entryways because they are highly durable and easy to clean. We ensure proper tile installation with the right subfloor prep and grouts so it can handle heavy use without cracking.

Rubber Flooring

Artisan Floor Works’ rubber flooring delivers exceptional durability and refined style for commercial and residential projects. Made from eco-friendly, high-performance rubber, it provides excellent slip resistance, impact absorption, and sound dampening—ideal for gyms, healthcare facilities, offices, and retail. The cushioned surface reduces fatigue and endures heavy traffic, moisture, and resists stains and chemicals. Low-maintenance and easy to install, this sustainable flooring promotes healthy indoor air quality. Its seamless look and customizable modular tiles ensure a precise fit and sleek

Scheduling & Preparation

Once you approve the quote, we’ll work with you to schedule the installation at a convenient time. We can even perform installations during off-hours or weekends to minimize disruption to your business operations (we know shutting down can be costly). Before installation day, our crew handles all necessary prep work: moving furniture/equipment as needed, removing old flooring, and preparing the subfloor (including moisture testing and leveling). Proper surface prep is critical for a long-lasting floor, so we ensure your subfloor is clean, smooth, and ready for new material.

Our experienced, owner-led installation team arrives on time and works efficiently.

Finishing Touches

After the main flooring is laid, we take care of all the finishing details that complete the job. This includes installing new baseboards or trim, transition strips between flooring types or room transitions, and proper thresholds at doorways. We make sure all transitions are smooth and ADA-compliant for accessibility (no sudden height gaps) and that the flooring is securely in place with a slip-resistant surface where required. Once finished, our crew thoroughly cleans the area, removing any dust or debris, leaving you with a spotless new floor ready to use.

Post-Installation & Aftercare

Finally, we walk through the completed project with you to ensure everything is done to your satisfaction. We’ll provide you with maintenance tips and floor care guidelines to help you maximize the life of your new floors.

Example Projects

Example Projects

We’ve completed numerous commercial flooring projects across McHenry and nearby counties. Here are a few examples of our work (photos coming soon):

Retail Store Renovation – Crystal Lake, IL

A boutique in Crystal Lake needed an updated look with durable floors. We installed 2,000 sq. ft. of luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the sales floor and fitting areas. The wood-look LVP we used gives a high-end appearance while standing up to heavy shopper traffic and spills. Our team coordinated an overnight installation schedule to avoid interrupting the store’s business hours. The project was completed in 2 nights, and the boutique reopened with a fresh, modern look and a floor that will last for years under daily use. The store owners loved the result – the new flooring brightened the space and aligned perfectly with their brand image.

Medical Clinic Floor Replacement – Cary, IL

We partnered with a small healthcare clinic in Cary to replace their aging flooring. The clinic’s exam rooms and hallways had old sheet vinyl worn and hard to sanitize. Our solution was to install commercial sheet vinyl with heat-welded seams for a seamless, hygienic surface. We scheduled the project over a weekend, tearing out the old floors on Friday evening and completing the new vinyl installation by Sunday. By Monday morning, the clinic had a clean, durable, and water-resistant floor that met healthcare sanitation standards. The new flooring features an attractive, calming design, and because it covers the wall edges, there are no gaps or grout lines – a massive plus for infection control. The medical staff appreciated that we finished on time without disrupting their weekday patient schedule.

New Office Build-Out – Libertyville, IL

Artisan Floor Works was subcontracted by a general contractor to handle the flooring for a newly constructed two-story office building in Libertyville. This project showcased our ability to manage large-scale commercial installs on a tight timeline. We installed carpet tile in over 20 private offices and conference rooms, luxury vinyl plank in open work areas and corridors, and ceramic tile in the lobby and restrooms, totaling about 10,000 sq. ft. of flooring. Our team worked closely with the GC and other trades, staggering our installation phases to fit the construction schedule. Despite a few weather delays early in construction, we completed the flooring before the grand opening date, allowing other final touches to proceed on schedule. The result is a cohesive, professional environment – the carpet tiles add comfort and noise reduction in workspaces. In contrast, the LVP and tiles provide durability and easy maintenance in high-traffic zones. The building owner was impressed with our efficiency and the high-quality finish of every floor surface.
