    Flooring is an investment that does not come around often. At its regular rate of installation, flooring can last around 20 years or more. That’s probably only once or twice you will ever install it in your house. But that’s why it’s as important as your roof to invest properly into great flooring. After all, you will be spending thousands of days looking at and walking over it. 

    Enter Luxury Vinyl Flooring

    That’s where luxury vinyl flooring comes in. Vinyl as a material has a lot of durability and water-resistant qualities. Luxury vinyl flooring takes those innate qualities of the material and propels them forward.

    That’s because luxury vinyl flooring comes in two different forms that maintain the strong strength of vinyl. You could get planks or square, tile pieces. Both kinds have a top layer that’s transparent and is built to fight against wear and tear. It protects the underlying vinyl from the usual: scratches, scuffs, dents, spills, and more. In fact, spills sit at the top layer and won’t infiltrate down due to this wear layer, which makes luxury vinyl flooring easy to clean.

    As mentioned, vinyl is a material with water-resistant properties, that’s why you’ll notice it on decks and porches in places nearby oceans, bays, rivers, and other water bodies. Luxury vinyl flooring will therefore resist water, and be able to be submerged without irreparable damage like other natural flooring options. Vinyl flooring is also resistant to curling, rippling, and peeling. Which means that you will need fewer replacements and repairs.

    Recommended Products: 

    Some Luxury Vinyl Plank Products we would recommend are: Shaw’s Floorte Collection and Coretec as they are affordable and provide the leading, popular colors in this region. In addition, we recommend Mohawk’s Founder’s Trace Collection as it comes with higher grade of protection alongside its painted bevels to give it a much more realistic visual that will be sure to impress SMART Customers at first glance!

    Additional Benefits

    People in the past may have chosen to skip out on vinyl flooring because it didn’t look as realistic as wood does. That’s where luxury vinyl flooring has changed to match wood, stone, and tile patterns with more accuracy. Vinyl can now be embossed and micro beveled to provide visual depth and textured looks. As you have noticed, too, luxury vinyl flooring is low-maintenance. Simply sweep and mop regularly and you won’t have any major issues, even if disaster strikes. And if it does, luxury vinyl flooring is easy to repair and install, making it much less expensive than other options. So if you’re interested in bringing the benefits of luxury vinyl flooring into your home, please call us at 1-800-526-7847!

    Smart Carpet and Flooring did an exceptional job on my carpet job. Louie, the sales rep spent multiple hours with me and even came twice to ensure I was well educated on all my carpet options, and never pressured me. Louie is extremely knowledgeable and patient. Louie came during the job and after the job to ensure it was completed with excellence. The carpet installers were also exceptional. My stairs are quite complex, but the installation team spent time to complete the stairs and the whole job as expected. I am extremely glad I decided to use Smart Carpet and Flooring for my house.

    Working with Jim and his manager Adam Forbes was a great experience. There was an installation error on one corner and a highly visible seam….they came and replaced the entire carpet! They really stand behind their work. Very pleased.

    Every step of the process to install, our carpet was smooth. I went online to put in information for a free estimate and someone called me within five minutes and gave me an appointment the following morning. Our estimator, Ruth, arrived early and was a pleasure. She has much experience, quickly calculated our square footage, and explained the different types of carpets. We struck a deal within 15 minutes. Our carpet was installed two weeks later by Sam, who called the night prior. He was friendly, arrived on time and had the job completed promptly. Smart Carpet is a very professional operation and I would certainly use them again.

    Calling Smart Carpet is the best decision I made. Drew, our salesman, was very knowledgeable about his products and very helpful assisting us in making a decision. Price was very reasonable. Scheduling installation was easy. The installers worked very hard, and we were glad that we did not have to remove the railing in the upstairs hallway. The carpet looks amazing. I'm very pleased and won't hesitate to call them for any upcoming flooring needs.

    We met with a couple companies and Louie stood out. Super professional and knowledgeable. Had so many more options of carpets than any other. They came in and installed everything perfectly. Highly recommend using Smart Carpet Flooring. Only issue we had was a lot of paperwork. In a digital world that part needs to be easier.

    We had a great experience with SmartCarpet. They replaced wall-to-wall carpets in the living room/dining room/hall with Vinyl flooring and put a new carpet in the family room. The house is completely transformed! All the installers were top-notch and made sure the work was done to our satisfaction. Communication was fast and thorough. Highly recommend!

    We just has carpet installed in two bedrooms and are very happy with results. The whole process was simple and convenient. Our salesman, Otto helped us find a great carpet at a competitive price. Scheduling was fast and our installer did a great job moving furniture, installing and cleaning up. If you need carpet, Smart Carpet is a much better value than the big home improvement stores.

    Very happy with the job SmartCarpet did in my home!
    Brenner D.
    Our experience with SmartCarpet was amazing. We needed our flooring installed in a timely manner due to our move in date and Otto delivered. He worked with us on style and price to get us exactly where we wanted to be. The install teams showed up on time and did an amazing job! We will definitely recommend them going forward!
    Michael P.
    We replaced carpet with hardwood flooring in 3 rooms in our house. Ryan was very knowledgeable about all the different options and worked with us to make sure we found what we were looking for. He also helped us decide on a color that went well with the other hardwood flooring in the house. Victor and his team did a great job on the install. They were very efficient and finished all 3 rooms in 1 day, including moving around furniture and ripping up the old carpet/hauling it away. Ryan even stopped by during the day to check-in. When we had a few questions after the install, Victor came back within a few days to address. He had great advice on hardwood maintenance too. Overall, we’re very happy with how the job turned out. We’d definitely recommend Smart Carpet and Flooring!
