Description of Work: They put in new pads, new carpet (pet-stain resistant, high-level quality) all through the house, they put in an incline to merge the front room into the hallway and put a beautiful wooden piece onto the barrier between the dining room into the tiled kitchen. Beautiful work, wonderful carpet, and a great job.

Description of Work: Carpet and Vacuum Expo removed the existing hardwood floor and carpeting from the foyer, living and dining rooms. The installed new hardwood floors in the kitchen, DR, LR, foyer, powder room and stairs. They also installed carpeting on the new stairs. This company was fantastic to work with. From the management to the individual workers, each person was professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and skilled at their job. There were no unexpected delays and the price was fair. The hardwood installers worked consistently until the job was completed and I was completely satisfied. The result was a work of art! I will never use another company for flooring. The experience was hassle free and the result was outstanding.

Just great.
Description of Work: First class, professional service and fair pricing. Dealt with Steve at the Potomac store in re-carpetting an attic/bedroom area (two rooms)> The person doing the estimate was helpful and professional. The price was decidedly better than one quoted by a competitor, and the installation went off like clockwork. Beats the heck out of the Big Box stores, because you feel like you're in control of the process every step of the way.

Owner provided very good advice, comparisons among different brands and different models within Miele, and about accessories. Very fair and honest, offered options that could reduce price if that was more of an issue than some less important features.

They were very good. I don't remember what they charged. Because we found them on Angie's List, we didn't bother to get additional quotes. We are very satisfied with their service, and will most definitely use them again.

1 We were given an estimate and discussed financing 2 Picked out what we wanted based on cost and usage 3 Date set for install 4 Team came to house did install 5 Small issues resolved Overall Excellent
Description of Work: Mike was very helpful and honest! His team showed up on time and did the job exactly as expected. We had the entire house done with Hard Wood (including steps) and a runner (carpeting) to protect us as we walk down steps. If you hardwood your steps you must be careful because of slipping and Mike suggested we cover the center of each step with a runner for safety! We called for a few issues after the install and was given prompt attention. (most were minor issues anyway!)

To tell one the truth, I really liked all of it. They gave us a fair price. They did a quality job in a timely manner. From dealing with the front office to the estimator that came out, they were all really good people to deal with. They explained everything really well. I couldn't be more pleased with the product because they did an excellent job. They did a great job on the carpet as well.
Description of Work: I used the services of Carpet & Vacuum Expo in July. They replaced our existing flooring in our foyer, kitchen and in our laundry room and put new flooring throughout that area. They also did carpet in my family room.

Steve gave wonderful service. He gave full attention, listened well with endless patience and was committed to finding the best quality carpet for our budget. In addition, he had numerous samples sent to our home. the selections were great with full range of styles and construction types. The installers were also great, very courteous, neat, and willing to do little extras like cutting us straight remnants and binded the carpet at the doorways.
Description of Work: Sold carpeting for our hall, stairs and family room. Ordered samples and had them delivered to our home. Installed carpeting for the above areas. Instead of installing metal strips at the doorways, they binded the carpet.

Overall, it couldn't have gone any better! We were pleased from start to finish!
Description of Work: We had carpet removed and hardwood floors installed in three rooms: living room, dining room and family room. Mike, the owner, was always friendly, helpful and honest. I must have gone to his store a half dozen times to look and look some more. He was always patient and warm. When his crew came to install the floors they were the nicest, friendliest, most professional group of men! They knew what they were doing and did it extremely well. We are so happy and plan to use the company again for the upstairs bedrooms.

I had already done some preliminary research when I went into Carpet and Expo. The salesman (I believe he was either the owner or manager) was knowledgeable and helpful. He described the various options, including quality differences, and strengths and weakness of the different choices. I gave him rough dimensions and he gave me an estimate for the total square footage that turned out to be very close to the final measurements. He sent out very knowledgeable personnel to do the actual measurements prior to consummating the final order. They were very professional. The installation went without a hitch. The material came in on time and the installation crew was in and out within a few hours. They did a very workman like job and cleaned up after themselves and vacuumed the new carpet to get up any loose threads. The whole thing was a very pleasant experience.
Description of Work: Recarpeted 3 upstairs bedrooms, including the closets. Carpeting and Vacuum Expo removed the old carpeting and padding, and replaced it with new. This involved moving furniture and putting it back.

Mike at C & V was great. They have a tremendous amount of samples which you can take home. Mike seemed to be truly interested in keeping the cost down. He was even trying to steer me to a cheaper product in his view was a "better value." But in the end, we ended up installing Mirage Brazilian Cherry and we couldn't be happier. Installation took 2.5 days (which was exactly what they said). The crew worked hard, very professional. By nature, this is a messy job, but the crew did what they could to minimize the dust (and used plastic everywhere). We had just painted all the rooms prior to installation, and I did have to touch up some lower areas, but the amount was less than expected. With a job this size (1100 sq. ft.) there are bound to be a few problems. Ours was no different. I brought a couple of issues to Mike's attention and he made sure that they were addressed. A couple of boards had splintered along the wall. They were repaired at my convenience and it looks great. My one complaint is the crew damaged some bookshelves. C&V offers to move your furniture around (for a fee) while they install the floor. I decided to pay the fee for one of our rooms. The crew was a bit careless and gouged/scratched our cherry bookshelves (freestanding, not built-ins). I brought it to Mike's attention and he said C&V would pay for the repair. So I couldn't ask for anything more. This was the one blemish on an otherwise great installation. I would definitely recommend C&V for hardwood installation. And ask for Mike. He will take good care of you.
Description of Work: Removed old hardwood in the kitchen, library and foyer. Removed carpet in living and dining room. Installed Mirage Brazilian Cherry (3 1/4" plank) in kitchen, library, foyer, living room, dinning room (1100 sq. ft.).

The installer arrived on time with a few assistants. They got to work immediately and seemed to all work together well. They were very efficient, and did an excellent job on my carpet installation. They were careful with my furniture, although I had removed all breakables and various small items. A couple scratches did occur--but nothing major. The padding and carpeting was installed well and looks beautiful. Steve called that day to make sure all was going well. He also called the following day to confirm my satisfaction.
Description of Work: I had our master bedroom carpeted with Fabrica carpet, Fabrica is a very high-end carpet, so I was very concerned that it would be installed correctly. The installer did a wonderful job--with all seams invisible. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome. Carpet and Vacuum Expo is a very consumer friendly store. I had previously purchased a vacuum cleaner from them and always receive very good advice. On another occasion they repaired an old vacuum cleaner. When I decided to purchase new carpeting for our bedroom, I went to the store and Steve helped me select a very high quality carpeting. He is one of the store owners and is a great person to deal with--very friendly, honest, and competent. I priced out the carpeting at several stores, and he was able to give me the best price. He made sure I was happy after the installation. Also, I had some carpeting installed on my stairs at a later time. I was also very happy with this installation. I would definitely use this company again. Although they do not have an extensive selection of carpeting on their floor, they have a good variety and they can order many carpets that are not on display. The very personal service you receive makes it very special store.

Great! This was the second time we used them. They are very nice to work with not high pressure, Steve in the Potomac store works with you and helps find a solution for your specific needs. He offered great suggestions, they came and measured and installed in a timely manner. Will definitely go back for the rest of our carpeting needs! I have recommended them to friends in the past and will continue to recommend them.

Everything went very well. They were helpful in assisting me in picking out an appropriate carpet for the bedrooms and provided excellent advice on comparative carpets. They came out to measure when they said they would. When it was time to install the carpet, they came at the time they had indicated, went straight to work, worked extremely neatly and finished in a timely manner. Job was professional and clean. The installers were outstanding. I intend to use them again when I re-do the carpeting in other rooms in the house.

It was a very positive buying experience. I plan to use them again.
Description of Work: Our old Miele vacuum needed repair. We had been told by another store what it would cost to repair and they suggested that it was not worth repairing it. I shopped around to find a new vacuum. This store offered to look at the old one to see what it would cost to repair the old one in case that was feasible after all. Their estimate was close to the other repair store. When I decided to buy a new one, they showed me several different models of varying price. They did not try to sell me a more expensive one with more bells and whistles, but rather recommended a more basic model. They were very helpful in providing instruction on a follow up visit, trading in unused vacuum bags from old model, and providing a reference for finding additional info.

I confirmed a date and approximate time with Mike at Carpet & Vacuum Depot who was extremely helpful and worked around my schedule. The crew of three men arrived within the 2 hour window Mike gave me and began to work immediately. They did have a couple questions for me and did exactly as I wanted. When the job was completed after 2 hours they vacuumed the area and took all of their trash, etc... with them. The only thing my husband did not like was the metal strip moulding which separated tile in the foyer He said it was not straight and I told Mike it may be an issue. He will send someone back out to fix the metal strip soon. The carpet was a little pricey, but the workmanship was good and communication was great.
Description of Work: We had carpeting in a rec room approximately 16 x 26 which we wanted removed and new carpeting put in it's place. We moved most of the furniture out of the space only leaving the heavy items behind. The 3 men went right to work when they arrived and took about 2 hours to complete the job. They cleaned up everything and even vacuumed the carpet!

Very professional all the way. Mike was very helpful and knowledgeable about all flooring. Communication was very good after signing the contract. The wood was placed in the house several days before the job. The installation team showed up on time at 8:30am and finished around 2pm. The installation went smoothly and looks great. Great attention was done to install the shoe molding, including a curved molding around the carpeted step. Couldn't be happier.
