"Mr Carpet was delightful to work with from beginning to end.  Mary, the office manager, scheduled our at home appointment around our schedules.  Michael came out to see us and described the different types of carpet.  We knew we wanted something in the brown family and Michael gave us tips... don't go too light as it will blend in the floor etc.  We thought about getting two staircases done (the second one leads to the basement).  Michael said let's do the most important one and I can always come back out when you are ready to do the second one.  We liked Michael's style; the time at our home was not rushed and very personable.  We decided to save a $100 and remove the old stair carpet ourselves (new home owners).  We removed the carpet the night before installation and we found the previous home owner had only done the varnish/wood stain to where the carpet was, not the complete staircase.  We knew this would be an issue the next day for installation, but it was  too late to call and reschedule.  Chaelo, the carpet installer, took a look and agreed we would need to to restain the stairs as the difference between the new carpet and old carpet would show. We wanted the carpet installed before Thanksgiving.  Chaelo called Mary and they squeezed us in the Wednesday before Thanksgiving without any issues.  Chaelo is like an artist the carpet is absolutely perfect ~ you can tell he takes pride in his work.  We would absolutely use Mr Carpet again; their customer service is excellent!

"Chris and his team did amazing work! Our floors are beautiful and they did a wonderful job with every detail. They went out of their way to match thresholds to the new floor color and they even fixed a closet door that had been broken for some time. Above and beyond a great job and I would recommend them to everyone!"

We have used Exposition Carpet for several carpet installations over many years in our finished basement, and have consistently found the best pricing, ease of schedule and quality installation thru them. I especially like that it's a family business and you are dealing directly with owners and not with a salesman that doesn't even know who his/her boss is. The installers have worked their for years and that says a lot.

After going through a back porch remodel enclosing to a mudroom, we wanted a pet friendly, water resistant and durable floor so we went with vinyl plank. The store had many options, and time frame to get material was within a week. We checked out a 'sale' prior at a trendy well known Lincoln Avenue store, only to be met with double the cost and attitude. So we ended up back at Exposition and it was a done deal within 2 weeks.

I thought I had reviewed them on AL, but realized I hadn't when the list asked if members had any feedback.

We wouldn't hesitate to use them for any flooring needs.

"Mitchell came in and inspected my floor. He told me exactly what job they where going to on my floor. He explained everything thoroughly to me. He was also very helpful in helping me pick a color. He was very professional and very personable. I felt comfortable going ahead with the project."

"Adrian was excellent to work with, and the work he and his team did was absolutely top notch. He really took the time to help me through a difficult home remodel that had some serious flooring issues. I've gotten so many compliments on the new floor and am extremely happy at the results. I would definitely use M Craft again."

"The job was completed just as described by Don, the salesman.  On a Thursday the two-man crew arrived at the time stated, and went right to work, making suggestions for an improved finished product as they went along.  On this first day, they ground the top layer of the cement floor (minimal dust), filled any cracks and pits, smoothed out the epoxy, and distributed the vinyl chips.  On Friday, a second crew arrived in the early afternoon to clean up any loose material, correct any flaws, and spread the clear-coat sealant.  After another 24 hours I could walk on the floor -- it is beautiful!  I could not smell any odors in the house, they used their own generator for power on the first day, and there was no debris left behind.  Diana in the office made the administrative part of the transaction pleasant.  Overall, it was  a great experience working with this local company!

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

On average, installing carpet costs between $3 and $11 per square foot, depending on factors like the carpet material, style, and labor rates in your area. Sometimes, installers will include carpet removal in these costs, so if you don’t have any carpet to remove, you can save time and spend less money on labor.

Using too much soap or floor cleaner can leave your laminate floors looking dirty or cloudy after mopping. Only use a teaspoon of soap or cleaning solution in a gallon of water. Additionally, always be sure to sweep or vacuum laminate floors before mopping to ensure you pick up dried grit, hair, and dust that can be harder to catch with a wet mop.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.

As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.

Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don’t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a local garage flooring pro with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.

Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because the steam can lift stubborn dirt from floors without using chemicals, and it also kills bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops have drawbacks: they are more expensive, require an electrical outlet, and are not suitable for all flooring types, such as laminate or hardwood, which can be damaged by the steam.

Regular mopping can also sanitize floors effectively when done with the right cleaning products and techniques, though it may require more effort. The main advantage of a traditional mop is its versatility, as it can be used on any type of flooring. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your floor type, budget, and cleaning preferences.
