    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.

    We worked with Louie who helped up pick the perfect carpet for our stairs. Even though it was small job, he took time to go over options and show us different carpets in the convenience of our home. His enthusiasm and attention was exceptional! The installation with Max was so quick and efficient. He arrived on time and was very polite and professional. I Highly recommend them and hope to work with them again in the future.! We are located in Bergen County

    I highly recommend Smart Carpet and Flooring for your flooring needs. I got an engineered hard wood flooring done. They came multiple times and were extremely understanding and thorough. Agent Otto and Sales Manager Adam were excellent and very understanding and cooperative. I had a great experience with them. Otto stopped by 2 days and saw the installation process and made sure everything that is needed is there and I am happy with the installation process. Installer Ali and team were great too. You cannot go wrong with Smart Carpet and Flooring.

    I am so pleased with Costco and Smart Carpet with my new wall to wall carpeting. Ryan, salesman was so helpful and professional. The installers were efficient and knew what they were doing. For a small fee they moved all my large furniture and were especially careful with it. I recommend them highly and would not hesitate to use them again.

    I was debating if I should replace my carpet because I didn’t think it was that bad. I called a few places and Smart Carpet gave me the best price for top carpet and padding. The installers came in and they were very professional and moved my king size bed and heavy furniture and put everything back exactly where it was. I was so impressed with not only how beautiful it looked and the color was exactly what I wanted but when I stepped on the new carpet I realized that yes I did need to change my old carpet because I could feel the difference. The padding and comfort is amazing! Everyday I step out of my bed I say Best Decision Ever! You can see the before and after on the stairs and the picture doesn’t do it justice!

    Our first experience with Smart Carpet was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our Sales Rep, Adam Forbes, was amazing at describing everything we would need or want to know. The installation was efficient, and perfectly executed. The installers were careful with our furniture, our floors, and our time. I couldn’t be happier with the final product, and I was so happy I decided to do three more rooms in my house. Thanks Smart Carpet!! This was an experience I won’t forget!!

    Great experience overall, starting with the contract signing with Ryan Ogorzalek. The company then easily accommodated our multiple rescheduling. The installation crew did a great job. No scratches on our freshly painted wall and only a couple of minor ones on the baseboard. I appreciates the general manager Adam stopping by midday to check how everything was going. Will use Smart Carpet again!

    Our experience with Louie and Sam was excellent! Smart Carpet replaced the carpet on 2 vintage staircases in our 1830s house, which was challenging. Louie was meticulous with the measurements, and very patient with helping us make the best choice. Sam was very efficient and careful with the installation, and kept us posted every step of the way. Both were very professional and responsive. Would recommend Smart Carpet without hesitation!Jean L., Somerset County, NJ
