Home Carpet One

Home Carpet One is owned by a second generation husband and wife team, Joel and Debbie Schreier, who live and breathe their flooring business. You will find one or both of us at the showroom every day. We spend much of our time sourcing product from the leading manufacturers and making sure our valued staff is well-trained on those products. Our overarching goal is to make luxury affordable by leveraging our buying power to benefit our customers. Family owned and operated since 1970, we understand the importance of building successful client relationships by providing memorable service and overall product value. Debbie’s Mom and Dad, Lynn and Leon Engel, founded Home Carpet One in 1970 at the corner of Barry, Greenview and Lincoln. They weren’t, however, the first family members in the carpet business in Chicago. Leon’s father (Debbie’s grandfather), William Engel, opened his first store in what is now the Old Town neighborhood in 1946. William helped Leon purchase the building that now houses the first of three contiguous buildings that comprise Home Carpet One. We value our clients' time and they value our professional help in selecting the best flooring materials for their homes. With this in mind, we present our customers with a 10,000 square ft. showroom with an endless selection of quality flooring choices.
