The Future of Professional Floor Installation
in Chicago & Northeast Illinois
With A Proud History of Quality

INSTALL™ is an acronym for the
International Standards and Training Alliance.

This is the new brand name for the floorcovering arm of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and its training program. For many years, INSTALL™ has been providing the highest quality, most comprehensive training available for installers of floorcovering materials in residential and commercial markets of Chicago & Northeast Illinois.

INSTALL™ Chicago flooring mechanics are trained in an exhaustive four-year program that leaves no relevant issue unaddressed. The first year consists of pre-apprenticeship training where students work as helpers in order to get a feel for the trade. The remaining three years of the program consist of eleven weeks of school instruction (one week per quarter) and on-the-job training. Graduates of this training have consistently been called upon to provide dependable, qualified labor to install the products of manufacturers of carpet, linoleum, vinyl and other resilients, as well as hardwood and laminate.

Solving today’s real problems
with a proactive stance

INSTALL™ Chicago has become increasingly active in response to several pressing concerns in our industry:

 Near crisis-level demand for qualified flooring installers, properly trained in tool use and material installation, to fill the needs of new construction.

 The rising rate of installation failures, resulting in unprecedented levels of consumer callbacks. This has led to a significant drag on the bottom line for manufacturers and contractors alike, who lose money every time they must return to satisfy unhappy customers.
