    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!

    I am so happy with my new floor. The guys that came and installed them were awesome. They moved all my furniture and put it all back. They were in and out in no time.
    My sales guy Andrew was awesome, he explained everything to me in detail and there were no surprises. Honestly this is the first time in a long time that I had work done in my house with no problems. I would recommend this company to anyone that wants to redo their floors. I am just so happy
    Brian C.
    This was a superior company. The person that came out and estimated the work did a fantastic job. The workers that came out and put down the rug did an unbelievably good job. The Costco company negotiated the best possible deal pricewise with this company on top of all that they gave me a $900 shop card with Costco. Unbelievable.

    Have used them many times. Ryan was our salesman and was great. Smooth installation and very happy with final product.
    Charna G.
    A very positive experience. The gentleman in the showroom was very patient and informative. I picked out a couple of rugs I liked and he arranged for the mobile showroom to come to my home. Ryan, with the mobile showroom, showed me the samples in my home, which was invaluable. He measured, answered questions and helped me make some decisions. He was a pleasure to work with. Delivery followed a couple of weeks later. I’m very happy with my choice. It was a painless and reasonably priced experience.

    Bill Hicks was absolutely outstanding! He helped me navigate my carpeting needs with professionalism, patience, and efficiency. The installer, Sam, was also equally excellent.

    I’ve used Smart Carpet several times over the years - this time around we got Louie for our sales rep and he was great! Very personable, patient and helpful. We made several changes during our renovation and Louie gave us fantastic support - even came back to the house more than once to make sure we were satisfied with our selections. The installation teams were phenomenal. FAST, CLEAN and courteous (they wore slip on shoes so they could remove them and keep the new carpets pristine!)
    Paulyn H.
    This is my fifth time working with Smart Carpet. Rima listened to what I needed and provided me with multiple options based on my descriptions. She helped me narrow it down to my final choice. The whole sales experience was no pressure and she went out of her way to answer any questions I had. Installation was exactly as expected. Sammy was a professional craftsman, and took great care to install the padding and then the carpet in the correct direction (it's a herringbone pattern) and ensure I was satisfied with the results. Everyone was great from start to finish. And j wouldn't hesitate to work with them again if needed.
    Barry K.
    Had a carpet installed in a basement bedroom and staircase. Louie from sales gave us the quote and was really good to work with as far as picking the best padding and carpet for our space. The price was fair and the installation went very well. We liked the communication with Louie and the company. Would use them again in the future. Communication was the key.

    My experience with Smart Carpet couldn’t have been better! Andrew gave us a great consultation and estimate. He was honest, helpful and informative. I needed installation in an extremely short amount of time for my daughter’s room, and he made it happen! Sam came to install my carpet. He was friendly, quick and efficient. The carpet looks beautiful and we are very pleased with the quality. Looking forward to future projects with Smart Carpet.

    Dagney K.
    We had Louis come out today to measure our house for carpet. He was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional and gave us some great advice. Smart carpet is a big company, but Louis gave us small company attention with great attention to detail. He also creatively came up with a plan that suited our needs perfectly. Thanks again Louis! 🙂
    Ryan G.
    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.

    Michael F.
    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.

    Kim R.
    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.

    My experience with SMART Carpet and Flooring was terrific from start to finish. Bob was so helpful during the selection process in assuring that I found the perfect texture and color of carpet for my home. The timeline for install was ahead of schedule and the installers did a flawless job. Couldn't be happier!
    Thomas M.
    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.
    Ronkymore A
    My family had a great experience with Smart carpet and flooring. Right from getting the quotes from Matt( the sales man) until installation. Matt was very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. We'll definitely be back for our next installation. I promise, you'll not be disappointed. Thank you!!!
    Emily P.
    We worked with Bob for our new carpet and he made the process so easy. From the initial meeting and measurement until the installation. He even checked in to make sure the job went well. We are very happy with our final product!
