They worked efficiently and paid attention to every detail, leaving no mess behind. Thanks to their outstanding work, my home looks completely transformed—almost like a brand-new house! If you’re looking for top-notch flooring, exceptional service, and a team that truly cares, I highly recommend Floor Coverings International.

"My husband and I finally came around to updating our flooring and found Carpeteria Carpet One through a friend that had previously used them (and was beyond happy). We could not say better things about our experience with this location and the service. Gary helped us through the entire process and not only made us feel at ease, but gave us unbeatable pricing. The staff was knowledgable and truly listened to what we were looking for regards to types of carpet and of course accommodating our budget. The entire process from the service, to the installation, and the final product was beyond seamless and refreshing. Thank you Carpeteria Carpet One!

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Laminate flooring takes about 24 to 48  hours to settle. Before this, planks are not completely acclimated to your home, and walking on them could cause shifting and permanent damage to the flooring. You should allow floorboards to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours before installing so that they can adjust to your home’s humidity and temperature levels, but they will continue to acclimate and settle after installation. For this reason, avoid placing any furniture in the room for 72 hours after installation.

Your floors will continue to settle for a few months after installation, becoming less bouncy as they rest.

Luxury vinyl flooring is the best for pet owners, as it holds up well against scratches and accidents. Non-slip stone or porcelain tile are great options as well. Each of these also provide a less slippery surface for pups that like to run around.

As for the flooring options to avoid, these are hardwood, laminate, and carpeting. Claws can scratch hardwood and tear up carpeting. On top of that, removing dog urine from hardwood floors can be difficult; likewise with carpeting. Laminate holds up much better, but it’s super slippery (especially for dogs).

For rooms with an even number of feet (10 x 12, for example), you can technically just multiply them together to get the number of square feet in the room (10 feet x 12 feet = 120 sq. ft.). For irregularly shaped rooms or areas that aren’t even square feet, converting to inches will be your best bet for an accurate measurement.

The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.

Carpets in earthy, neutral shades should go with everything. Specifically, colors like beige, cream, and gray pair well with other neutrals and more vibrant colors. If you’re concerned about your carpet clashing with your walls or furniture, stay away from loud colors and complicated patterns, which could distract from the rest of your decor.
