    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.

    Top Products and Brands

    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.

    I am so pleased I used SMART Carpet to install new carpeting in my home. I worked with Nicole Bonner, who was the absolute best and so knowledgeable and responsive to my questions. The installers were fabulous - very professional, and did a flawless job installing the carpeting. They also cleaned up after themselves and did a fairly big job in a single day. I strongly recommend them!

    Louie was our Smart Carpet sales representative for our home in Somerset County. Louie was extremely helpful in helping us decide on the best option for our carpet needs. He was extremely knowledgeable on all of the products that were offered and explained everything in great detail and made great recommendations. Louie went the extra mile in contacting the warehouses to ensure that the selection that we made was available and could be installed in a timely manner. The installation team that arrived a few days later to install the carpet was meticulous with their work and the carpet came out perfect. Louie followed up with us every step of the way including after the carpet installation to make sure that we had no issues even days after the installation. We will be contacting Louie in the near future for our additional carpet needs and we highly recommend using Smart Carpet for your carpet needs.

    Hired Smart Carpet to install new carpeting in the common areas of one of the buildings in our condo association. Couldn’t be happier with the results. These folks wet incredibly easy to work with. Within a week or so after accepting the proposal, the installers were there. Incredibly hard workers. I was concerned about damage to the somewhat newly painted walls and baseboards, but this was not an issue. I would like to mention too that the salesman, Adam, was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company! One last thing, the proposal could not be beat by another carpet company.

    Worked with SmartCarpet as they are the authorized dealers who work with Costco. My estimate was done by John who was great. He reviewed all the options and was professional and through. I did have some issues during my installation but was contacted by SmartCarpet once I gave the feedback. We discussed some areas of improvement and Jude reviewed the process and offered solutions along w/ a direct number for further communication.

    Five years ago Smart Carpet put down an engineered floor throughout my new condo, five rooms. It became apparent that the flooring was not holding up well. Smart carpet addressed the issue by replacing parts of the floor. But addition issues kept cropping up. I spoke with John N, my sales rep, who came and examined the floor. He came up with a plan to replace the flooring in my entire condo after five years of use!! He replaced it with a totally new flooring that eliminated all the pitfalls that were associated with the previous product. It has now been six months since my new floor was put down. There are absolutely no issues. The installation is fabulous. I waited this long to write the review so I could see if issues developed. There are none. I couldn’t be happier. The only cost to me was the difference in the cost of the original flooring to the new flooring, minor indeed. The bottom line is that Smart Carpet stands behind their products and their installers. They value their customers!!
