    One of the questions our customers ask is whether waterproof floors are worth it. If you have ever had any type of small flood in your house that led to ruined floors, you already know the answer. Sure, waterproof flooring is more expensive when you buy it, but that is due to the benefits of having it installed. Plus, the additional expense is far less expensive than having to replace flooring if you get water on your floors.

    There are several benefits to waterproof flooring. Of course, they are waterproof. That makes them a great choice for wet rooms. Wet rooms are rooms where the floors are likely to get water on them. Basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms are all wet rooms. However, depending on your home other rooms may be wet rooms as well. Do you have an outdoor pool? If so, then the path from the pool to the nearest restroom is going to collect water. Waterproof flooring is important for those areas, as well.

    Waterproof flooring is also a versatile option. You can get products that look like other flooring standards, such as natural wood and stones. Waterproof laminate is generally more expensive than other synthetic materials. However, in many instances, the waterproof options may be more affordable than the natural options. So, choosing them allows you to get a classic, upscale appearance without overspending.

    Even if you do spend more than you would on other synthetics, the long-term savings make it worth it. Because they are more durable than other synthetics, waterproof flooring is a good long-term choice. You can expect it to look great for decades, providing a warm, natural look.

    The newest waterproof option is waterproof laminate flooring. They add durability of the traditional laminates as well as the waterproof properties of vinyl planks.

    At SMART Carpet and Flooring, we have a wide variety of flooring options. We offer waterproof flooring to match any type of décor.

    We used their services (Somerset County) and couldn’t be more pleased. Louie, our prinary contact, was great. He coordinated the whole process and today we got the carpet installed, which was done on time and met our expectations.Overall, we were very happy with the entire process (service, pricing) and would recommend their services to anyone looking for carpeting services.

    Jim was an excellent salesman. He explained the different carpets and padding. The installers were efficient and got the carpets down in no time. Jim came the day of installation to check and make sure I was happy.

    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!!

    We just had 5 rooms, a hallway and stairs carpeted in our Bergen County home.Our experience with Smart Carpet was wonderful. The sales rep, Louie was professional, prompt and extremely efficient. He took a great deal of time to show us our options and explain the difference between each of them. The installers arrived on time on the scheduled day and worked non stop throughout the day. This included tearing up the old carpet and moving all the furniture which we had emptied previously. We are very pleased with the final product. They are an excellent and professional company to do business with. Thank you Smart Carpet and Flooring.

    We recently had beautiful floors installed and could not be happier with the outcome. With 3 dogs and 4 cats, we needed something durable, but also beautiful. Our sales rep, Louie, walked us through the entire process and helped us make an amazing choice. Our new floors gave the entire first floor a face lift. So easy to clean! We were also thrilled that they service the Sussex County area! if I could give 10 stars I would. The financing also made this incredibly affordable for us.

    Today, Smart Carpet installed the third carpet in my house. I cannot say enough about this organization. Nicole, the salesperson, was very patient and professional and knew her product well. This is the second time I have had the pleasure of dealing with Nichole. Joe Orlando sold me my first carpet and he was also a professional, pleasant individual. Sam, the installer of the third carpet, was very kind and helpful and made the entire experience stress free. I have recommended Smart Carpet to many friends and I will continue to do so because they are highly reputable. I would highly recommend Smart Carpet and their staff without reservation.

    Bill Hicks was very patient with me and showed me all my choices. He explained how measurements worked with the way the carpets are made. I did not know the carpet was Shaw until it arrived. It was installed perfectly and efficiently. Jesus was great! I am so happy that I spent the money. It made such a difference in my home. So warm and beautiful.

    I live in Bergen County & had my loft done by Smart Carpet. They offer a free estimate. The salesman, Louie, was top notch and spent over an hour with me going through selections at different prices. He followed up each step of the way. The installers were in and out and did a flawless job. Highly recommend and reasonably price.
