The Pet Owner's Dilemma, Solved

Beautiful Floors That Actually Survive Pets

When you share your home with dogs or cats, your flooring takes a beating. Standard materials warp from water bowl spills, scratch under playful claws, and trap odors. That's why pet-friendly flooring requires specialized materials and expert installation.

At Carpet Services Incorporated (CSI), we understand the unique demands of pet owners across Cook, DuPage, Kane, and Will counties. We specialize in installing advanced luxury vinyl flooring with rigid waterproof cores, specialized carpet flooring with solution-dyed, stain-blocking fibers, and impervious ceramic tile flooring that guarantees zero moisture penetration.

Our installation and repair teams don't just lay the material; we properly prep and seal the subfloor to lock out past pet accidents and odors, ensuring your new investment stays fresh and flawless for years to come.

The CSI Advantage

Why Chicagoland Pet Parents Trust Carpet Services Incorporated

When Carmine and Victor Molfese founded Carpet Services Incorporated in 1979, they built it on a single principle: deliver the quality of work you'd want in your own home. Today, that means understanding that a flooring installation isn't complete until it can withstand the joyful chaos of a household with pets.

We are not a franchise or a broker. Every CSI crew member is a full-time, trained employee. This ensures consistent, high-quality subfloor preparation and installation — the two most critical factors in preventing pet-related flooring failures like buckling, odor retention, and seam separation.

Visit our Addison showroom to bring your pet (we love meeting them!) and feel the durability of our recommended materials firsthand.

What Pet Owners Say About Our Work

Real results from real homes with dogs, cats, and the occasional exotic pet.

★★★★★

"We have two large, energetic dogs and were terrified of ruining new floors. CSI recommended a rigid-core luxury vinyl plank, and it has been absolutely flawless. Zero scratches after eight months, and cleanup from muddy paws is a literal one-second wipe. The installation crew was incredibly respectful of our home and pets."

Naperville, IL Whole-House LVP Installation
★★★★★

"I was convinced I couldn't have carpet with three cats. The CSI team showed me a solution-dyed pet carpet line, and I am amazed. A recent accident wiped right up with no staining or lingering smell. The installers were fast, professional, and the seams are completely invisible. Highly recommend."

Elmhurst, IL Bedroom Carpet Installation
★★★★★

"We needed durable flooring for our mudroom and kitchen where our golden retriever spends most of his time. CSI installed beautiful porcelain tile with a textured, slip-resistant finish. The subfloor prep was meticulous, and the grout lines are perfectly straight. Outstanding craftsmanship."

Wheaton, IL Kitchen & Mudroom Tile
★★★★★

"As a property manager for pet-friendly rentals, I need flooring that survives everything. CSI has handled multiple unit turnovers for us. Their waterproof vinyl installations are holding up incredibly well to tenant pets, and their turnaround time is consistently faster than competitors."

Schaumburg, IL Multifamily Turnover Flooring
★★★★★

"The team at CSI went above and beyond. We had an old carpet with years of pet odors. They didn't just rip it out; they treated the subfloor with a specialized sealant before laying the new luxury vinyl. The house smells fresh, and the new floor looks spectacular. Worth every penny."

Downers Grove, IL Floor Replacement & Subfloor Sealing
★★★★★

"Professional, punctual, and pet-friendly! The installers brought their own boot covers and were so gentle with our nervous rescue dog. The waterproof laminate they installed in our basement looks exactly like real wood but gives us total peace of mind regarding spills. Excellent service."

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and ceramic or porcelain tile are the most durable options for dogs with long claws. Both feature highly scratch-resistant wear layers that prevent gouging, and they are completely waterproof, protecting your subfloor from accidental spills.
Yes. If you prefer the comfort of carpet, CSI recommends solution-dyed nylon or specialized pet-resistant carpet lines. These feature advanced stain-blocking technology and tighter weaves that resist claw snagging and make accident cleanup significantly easier.
Not necessarily. While premium waterproof cores and advanced scratch-guard coatings carry a slight premium, the long-term savings on replacement and repair make pet-friendly flooring a highly cost-effective investment. CSI offers transparent, direct-to-consumer pricing to keep your project within budget.
Proper subfloor preparation is critical. Our crews thoroughly clean, level, and seal the subfloor. For areas with a history of pet accidents, we apply specialized moisture mitigation and odor-sealing primers before installing the new flooring to ensure a fresh, lasting foundation.
CSI serves the entire Chicagoland region, including Addison, Chicago, Naperville, Schaumburg, Elmhurst, Lombard, Oak Brook, Downers Grove, Wheaton, Hinsdale, and surrounding communities in Cook, DuPage, Kane, and Will counties.
