"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Charles and the team at Floor Coverings International! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. Cheryl, their designer, made the entire process seamless—her expertise and keen eye for design helped me choose the perfect carpeting and vinyl plank flooring for my home. The installation team was not only incredibly skilled but also punctual, courteous, and super helpful throughout the entire process. 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. Thank you, Charles and team, for making this such a fantastic experience!"

"Gary and his son did a fantastic job on my 25 year old cream colored carpet. It looks just beautiful now. They came back a second time because, even though it looked perfect when they finished the first time, some "browning" spots emerged when it dried. These they took care of during the second trip. They also removed a stain that was on it. Previously I had used two other carpet cleaners which had completely failed to get it clean. McCoy Carpet Cleaner's has saved me from the huge expense of replacing this very old carpet!"

"The salesman Luke was very professional. The contractors that were used to install the flooring tried to short cut the installation process towards the end but was caught. If I use Empire Carpet in the future I will be specific in telling the salesman what my expectations are of the installation contractors."

"It was wonderful to have a pro take our carpets to his work area and bring them back looking beautiful and clean. He even helped us move our dining room table and chairs, put the rug down, and put the furniture back!! He's fun to chat with too!"

"Sent out Silk Rug with urine damage, got back in beautiful condition. Great service and excellent communications. A rather expensive Turkish silk rug (at least for me!), I was worried to just ship it off to an unknown company but Fred was great! Thanks Soleimani Antique Rugs as Mystical Art!"

Carpet Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Costs depend on carpet quality, labor, underlayment, and furniture moving requirements.

Several types of flooring can be installed over existing tile, provided the current tiles are in good condition. Options include vinyl, vinyl plank, laminate, engineered wood, hardwood, carpet, and cork. Among these, various types of vinyl and engineered wood are the most common choices due to their versatility. Alternatively, you can install new tiles on top of your current ones if you like tile floors but want to update the look. Before proceeding with any new flooring, it's crucial to ensure your existing tiles are not damaged; otherwise, they will need to be removed first.

The complexity of installation depends on the type of flooring you choose and the level of expertise required to install it. While some materials, like vinyl or laminate, offer relatively straightforward installation processes suitable for DIY enthusiasts, others, such as natural stone or hardwood, often require professional assistance from a flooring company to ensure proper fitting and longevity.

If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.
