    Basement Flooring in New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania

    Installing flooring in your basement is a great way to expand your living space. High-quality carpet, vinyl, or laminate can transform a damp, dusty cellar into a spare bedroom, home theater, or comfortable hideaway. Choosing the right flooring, however, can be a challenge.

    SMART Carpet and Flooring is here to make the process easy. We supply a broad range of carpet and flooring options to customers throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. With mobile showrooms full of samples from top brand names, we can help customers select a beautiful and durable basement flooring product to fit their homes. We also provide professional flooring installation services to ensure a high-quality finish that you can enjoy for years to come.

    Exploring Basement Flooring Options

    The primary concern when finishing a basement is moisture. Because basements are below grade, they can be vulnerable to seepage and flooding. You want flooring that can get wet without taking damage. Though hardwood may be beautiful, boards can warp and rot when exposed to water. Instead, SMART Carpet and Flooring recommends the following options:

    Carpet

    Carpet is an excellent flooring choice for basements that remain relatively dry. The softness of carpet adds warmth underfoot, helping to counteract the chill of a basement during the winter months. The right carpet can transform your basement from cold concrete to a cozy and comfortable living space. It also improves sound absorption, reducing echoes and keeping your basement quiet.

    Outdoor Carpet

    If you like the warmth of carpet but worry about moisture, outdoor carpet is a more durable alternative. Outdoor carpet is designed to withstand the elements. Most product lines are water-resistant or waterproof for resilience in wet conditions. They are also easy to maintain. Simply vacuum up dirt or spray it off with a hose, then allow the carpet to air dry.

    Vinyl

    Vinyl flooring imitates the hardwood look without the hassle and moisture concerns of real wood. This flooring type is waterproof and easy to maintain. It also comes in a wide variety of textures, styles, and finishes, helping you achieve the look you want. SMART Carpet and Flooring offers hybrid vinyl flooring, luxury vinyl plank and tile, and sheet vinyl to meet a range of applications.

    Laminate

    If your basement features high-traffic zones, consider boosting durability with laminate. This flooring material is scratch- and stain-resistant, allowing it to retain its appearance through heavy use. It’s also incredibly easy to clean. With a broad range of styles available, including hardwood and tile look-alikes, laminate is a strong option for basement laundry rooms, game rooms, and more.

    At SMART Carpet and Flooring, we believe working with top manufacturers makes a difference in the quality of our products. We carry a vast selection of flooring made by well-known brands in the industry, including Shaw, Armstrong, Mohawk, COREtec, and Mannington. This enables us to deliver more attractive and durable products, ensuring the satisfaction of our customers. Our sales professionals offer pressure-free advice while customers compare brands and select the best product for their home.

    Very satisfied with the carpet and installation we had installed in our home in Sussex County, NJ. Louie came right out to go over pricing and our different options and got it scheduled right away. Very pleasant to work with. The install crew were very courteous, friendly, clean and did a great job. They also took very good care of the furniture in each room they had to take apart and move. Very satisfied and would recommend them to others.

    (Morris County) We are return customers and were looking to update our Family room. Louie was fantastic in helping pick us out the right carpet for our room. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to go over the different styles and qualities, as well as proper care for our new carpet. He even came by the day of installation to make sure everything was to our liking. The installers did a great job and we are very pleased with their work. I highly recommend Louie and the Smart Carpet team!

    Great experience with Smart carpet in Middlesex County. Louie came to the house with tons of samples and was helpful and very patient despite my indecisiveness. What I finally decided on arrived as expected in 4 weeks and I am so happy with my choices. The installation went well and Louie even came back during the process to make sure all was going well! Great experience with this company!!

    I love my new carpet! This is my third time working with Nicole and the Smart Carpet and Flooring team and they have gone above and beyond every time. Nicole helped me pick the color - she really had an awesome eye for what would match the existing flooring for seamless coordinating transitions.

    Had a small issue with one of the planks and Smart Carpet handled perfectly. Replaced not only the affected planks, but all of the planks leading up to it, so that the connections wouldn’t cause future issues due to disconnecting and reconnecting, without me even asking. They came on time, communicated clearly and were professional. We’ve used them for all of our floors and recommend them highly.

    We wanted to get rid of the carpeting in our house, so we called Smart Carpet.

The installation crew (Garcia) was professional and did an absolutely fantastic job. Thank you ☺️

    Smart Carpet was great from the moment Michelle walked in for a consultation. As they say people buy from people. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten someone to do the job cheaper. But at the end of day, what mattered was the consultative process, the ability to listen to what the customer wants and help them in the decision that really stood apart. Michelle spent a good 2 hours with us identifying our needs, consulting with her expert installers on the phone making sure we're making the right choices for the landscape. Of course the Costco partnership was a significant factor but it's the personal attention that really made it easier for us to go with Smart Carpet. My wife & I are easily confused when loads of options are presented and we made that clear upfront. Michelle really took all of that into consideration and made it really easy for us. The installers worked their charm over 2 days and the end result was fantastic. Thank you!

    Smart Carpet did an excellent job installing Revwood laminate flooring. They installed roughly 700 sq ft of flooring in approximately 1/2 day. When they left, everything was cleaned up and the flooring looked great.

    Smart Carpet was contracted to install floor tile in one of our classrooms. The price was right, the estimator and installers were on time, professional, and courteous. I have used them in the past at our school and I also used them in my home. Fully satisfied each time.

    Great company to deal with.. They didn’t sell me anything I didn’t need and met my budget. Louie was a great salesman and had great communication skills. Installers showed up on time and did a great job installing pads and carpets, they did leave me a bit of a mess outside the rooms with carpet peace but all and all good job. Will definitely use them again.

    Our consultant (Louie) was very thorough. He took the time to explain all our options until we found one for our exact budget and preference. My mother was the client, and she doesn't speak English well. Louis patiently explained all the details as I translated the information. Which made his patience in the matter that much more appreciative!The 10 year anniversary of the church will be just in time.I would definitely recommend Smart Carpet as a top choice for all carpeting needs!

    Nicole and her team of installers are fabulous! From the beginning, Nicole spent a lot of time with me and explaining the process of my choice to the actual installment of my carpet. We put the carpet sample next to my paint swatch and found the perfect complement. Nicole is a very hands on rep and calls to make sure all is good with the product, on her day off. I plan on calling this company and Nicole for my next project. Thank you Nicole and Smart Carpet for a job well done.

    My experience using SMART carpet & flooring was great! It all started with my salesman Jay. He was so friendly and knowledgeable, making it easy to find what I wanted for both of the rooms I had carpeted. The quality of the carpeting is terrific, and was not that costly. The installation was done very neatly and made the whole job painless. I love how my new rooms look !

    The entire experience was awesome starting with my salesperson, Bill Hicks, helping me choose the flooring that best met my needs & thoroughly explained every detail. The installers were excellent. In fact when putting my door back which I had problems with prior to the installation, they fixed it. If I could give Smart Carpet 10 stars, I would.
