"Kals did an amazing job. Alex was very accommodating and considerate with fitting our schedule and budget. He and his team are highly skilled and proficient. My floors were a disaster prior to Kals flooring, now they are beautiful."

"Marcel and team did a fantastic job with the flooring. Right since the beginning from getting the quote, to committing on the dates to the installation, everything was done very professionally. They are a very experienced contractor, and it shows in the quality of work. We were also in a time crunch with our flooring job, and Marcel went above and beyond to get things done on time! He also has an amazing network of other contractors who can take care of all the other needs around the flooring job. We are very happy with our new floors and highly recommend Marcel and team for any flooring work anyone needs."

"Kyle and his team were amazing. I had 3 sets of stairs and an entire floor to be redone and the work was second to none, and communication / updates along the way were great. I can't comment enough on how great the floors look, and how much they match the other floors already in my house."

"Let me start by saying this was a very difficult thing for us to do because our wood floors are gorgeous. Our floors are (were) so nice that Mike, who arrived promptly, spent probably the first half an hour to an hour talking us OUT of carpeting. During this time he gave multiple suggestions for foregoing carpeting our unit some of which were extremely creative such as "buy the guy a nice tv and be done with it" or the idea of not doing wall-to-wall and instead going to within about one foot from the wall giving us both the carpeting we "needed" and allowing us to still enjoy the look of the wood throughout our unit. After talking it through we decided on wall-to-wall throughout, save the kitchen, because our intention was to deaden the sound emanating from our unit to the downstairs neighbors unit, which got us branded by Mike as the "best neighbors ever" which is probably the exact opposite of what the downstairs neighbors think. After trying multiple styles of carpeting (even blind testing) we decided on a particular one that the family loved including our dog. Mike loves dogs, I mean REALLY loves dogs I think were it not so late the day he came he might have stayed longer, just to play with our dog! After Mikes play session with our dog he gave us our quote, sure we almost passed out, but he said we could make this work and he was correct; he worked with us and we were able to accept his quote a couple days later. Installation day arrives and two guys show and they do the same thing everyone else does, "Are you sure you want to carpet these floors?!?" At this point we were actually excited for carpet day to arrive so, "yes, yes I am". We had 1200 sq ft carpeted and the job was done in a superb fashion (it took a full work day to complete); the same quality level is true for the crew that came to shave our doors. We love the job that was done by Mr Carpet!"

"We had laminate and carpet installed in our home and it was completed very quickly. The payment options were great. We had changed our minds about flooring and carpet colors more than once and Joe from the company stopped by on several occasions to help us decide. They always answered our calls and or called us back within a day. The price was fair and I would recommend Carpets in the Park to anyone,"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

You might be wondering, “Is laminate flooring toxic?” The product does contain formaldehyde, which is found in the resins used to bind the wood fibers together. But the chance of overexposure and adverse reactions, such as allergy- or asthma-like symptoms, is low unless you are exposed to formaldehyde in other places, i.e., if you work with formaldehyde regularly outside the home. Keep in mind, too, that many household products have the potential to pose a health hazard, such as cleaning products.

You can mop bamboo floors, but exercise caution to protect the material from excess moisture, which can seep into the bamboo, causing it to warp and well. Moisten a microfiber mop and wring it out until it’s just damp, or use a pH-neutral cleaner, as this will prevent damage to the bamboo fibers. Avoid harsh chemicals, like traditional floor cleaners. After cleaning, wipe the floor dry.

Carpet tiles come with a preexisting adhesive backing, which means installing them is as simple as peeling off the paper and sticking them down where they need to go. In other words, no. You won’t need to purchase any separate glue to get your carpet squares situated. It’s already built into the carpet tile itself.

When you install laminate flooring, you have to install spacers (also called expansion gaps) along the edges. This space along the edges gives the flooring the room it needs to naturally expand and contract. When you don't have an expansion gap, you can end up with damaged or warped planks. This can lead to uneven flooring, which is unsightly and can cause a trip hazard.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.
