A Rich History: 50 Years of Excellence
Scharm Floor Covering’s journey began 50 years ago, with a simple mission: to provide exceptional flooring products and services to the residents of Des Plaines. Over the years, we have grown and evolved, but our core values of quality, integrity, and community focus have remained unchanged.
Our Beginnings and Growth
Founded in 1974, Scharm Floor Covering started as a small, family-owned business. Through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to customer satisfaction, we expanded our offerings and built a reputation for excellence. Today, we offer a wide range of flooring solutions, including hardwood, laminate, vinyl, carpet, and tile, catering to both residential and commercial clients.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we reflect on the milestones that have defined our journey. From our early days of building a loyal customer base to becoming a trusted name in the flooring industry, each achievement has been a testament to our unwavering dedication. Our success is not just measured by the number of floors we have installed, but by the relationships we have built and the positive impact we have made in our community.

Throughout our history, quality has been at the forefront of everything we do. We carefully select our products from reputable manufacturers and ensure that our installation services meet the highest standards. This commitment to quality has earned us the trust and loyalty of countless customers, many of whom have been with us for decades.

At Scharm Floor Covering, we believe that being a successful business means more than just providing excellent products and services; it means giving back to the community that has supported us for 50 years. Our involvement in local organizations and initiatives reflects our commitment to making Des Plaines a better place for everyone.
Supporting Local Organizations
We are proud to support various local organizations that contribute to the well-being of our community. Over the years, we have partnered with schools, charities, and non-profits to provide resources, sponsorships, and volunteer efforts. Our contributions to the Self-Help Closet & Pantry of Des Plaines, for example, help ensure that families in need have access to nutritious food. We also support local schools by donating materials for renovation projects and sponsoring events that benefit students and educators.

In addition to our community involvement, we are committed to environmental sustainability. We participate in recycling programs and offer eco-friendly flooring options to our customers.
