About The Bahr Company
We’ve built our reputation one floor at a time.
Architects, designers, builders, developers and retail specialists trust The Bahr Company for the finest flooring solutions—from subfloor prep to finished flooring. Our understanding of design, performance, cost and environmental objectives helps us recommend the most appropriate products for commercial and residential projects.
From wholesaler to retail and back.
We began in the 1940’s as a wholesale lumber company servicing some of the largest machine manufacturers in the Midwest: Caterpillar, John Deere, J. I. Case, Barber Greene and many more. Our flooring sales arm was added in 1980 when the need for specialty hardwood flooring increased with the growing construction industry. Today, The Bahr Company is conveniently located in Romeoville with an expansive warehouse, showroom, and an extensive inventory of flooring and related installation materials.
Unparalleled hardwood flooring expertise.
Customers choose us because of our extensive expertise. We have operated our own dry kilns for decades and truly understand how wood and moisture relate and react together. Each of our team members are industry veterans that have been extensively trained. Our staff includes architectural/design specialists and flooring professionals who insure selected products meet or exceed customer expectations.
Service with a smile.
Our customer service staff are considered superstars by our clients. Not only are then extensively trained on our products, they love their jobs—and it shows. Making customers happy is something we all take pride in at The Bahr Company.
