Although most carpets have some form of stain resistance, it is best to obtain and follow the proper care instructions for whichever carpet our professional consults help you select.

If the product selected is in stock, the installation process will be taken care of within 2 days of your purchase. If you live in Bradenton, our carpet installation experts should have your carpet ready on the same day of your purchase. Special orders tend to take 5 to 10 days to arrive from the mill.

Our carpet store, just outside of Bradenton, has carpets of multiple sizes, including those ranging from 13 feet to 15 feet, although some of these require a special order.

A variety of different factors influence a carpet’s performance, ranging from style, color, fiber, pad, traffic, and construction. Let one of our carpet and flooring installation authorities know about your household environment. They will guide you to the carpet that is perfect for your home.

Nylon and polyester are two popular choices for carpet material. Both have their pluses and minuses, not to mention the dozens of sub-genres, such as Tactese nylon and Smart strand polyester. Please consult our professional commercial carpet experts to learn more about which fiber fits best for the area in your home.

While our carpets are in excellent shape, invisible seams cannot be guaranteed. Our staff will help you select which carpets and fibers hide seams best.

Our organization is committed to keeping the environment safe and sound. We are one of the few flooring companies in the Tampa Bay area that participates in a carpet-recycling program.If you would like to know more about our program, just ask!

Generally, yes, this is a problem. Florida’s high humidity levels make the installation process a difficult and dangerous one. We recommend that if you have a concrete slab, it is best to purchase hardwood flooring that is factory engineered.

Specifically designed to address downsides to hardwood flooring, particularly in concrete constructed homes, engineered hardwood floors have multiple layers of hardwood glued together with the grain going in opposite directions.

Because of their design, engineered hardwood floors give the plank superior dimensional stability and are far more resistant to expansion and contraction when the humidity in the environment changes.

This allows the floor to be glued down directly to a dry, flat concrete slab. The top layer of the plank is the actual species of wood that you desire, pre-finished and stained at the factory. With a factory-finished floor you avoid the mess and fumes of sand and finish installation. Plus, the finish that comes from the factory is far superior to any finish applied on the jobsite.If you would like to know more about engineered hardwood, please contact our flooring installation experts at our flooring showroom, just outside of Bradenton, FL.

It depends on the floor purchased. Some engineered floors have the identical wear layer of a 3/4-inch solid floor. They can be sanded and even re-stained multiple times. In general, the thicker the wear layer, the more expensive the floor will cost.

Hardwood floors are always at risk of suffering from scratches, but our finishing is of the highest quality. If you need flooring that is as durable as possible, just ask one of our consultants and we will address your needs as best as possible.

Hardwood floor owners should acquire a wood-floor care kit that includes a dry microfiber mop head and a residue-free cleaner. Avoid using a wet mop at all costs! Water is the biggest threat to a hardwood floor, so try to avoid it if possible.

Laminate floors are versatile and durable that possess the appearance of hardwood flooring. They are made up of several layers of materials bonded together under high pressure. The top layers consist of a high-resolution image of hardwood flooring topped by an extremely hard clear coating. They come in planks that designed to “click” together and are “floated” over a moisture-barrier pad. For more information about laminate floors, call or e-mail one of our tile flooring experts in at our floor covering showroom, just north of Bradenton.

Laminate flooring is specifically designed for customers interested in installing the product themselves. Laminate floors do not require adhesives and click together cleanly, making it one of the easiest and most practical floors to install.

Not only can laminate floors look exactly like hardwood flooring, but also laminate floors are extremely durable and family friendly. They are also about a third cheaper than hardwood flooring, and as mentioned previously, are extremely easy to install.

As long as the surface is smooth, flat, and dry, then there should not be a problem. Vinyl, tile, and wood are all acceptable surfaces, although we wouldn’t put laminate over your carpet!
