J P Flooring Design Center
About us
We are an Ohio-owned and operated Cincinnati flooring store. When we opened over 30 years ago, we started as a small carpet installer and have grown to one of the region’s largest flooring companies – offering carpet, vinyl, hardwood, ceramic tile and custom area rugs. JP Flooring now has a 20,000 SF show room but retained many of its original employees. Our success is built one client at a time, offering quality products, expert installation and competitive prices. JP Flooring Design Center is your destination for selection, service, and style.

Installers visited our home three times over the course of two months, as the delivery and installation of materials had to be coordinated with other aspects of our remodel. The scheduling team did a fine job getting appointments on the calendar and communicating with me. A problem arose when the hardwood flooring was being installed around the bar area and the installers informed me that they didn't have enough material, and that the carpet would encroach upon the space required for bar seating. Unfortunately, the representative who had come to measure our basement had not provided any guidance regarding the bar area, so I had estimated where the wood should end and the carpet should start. (I subsequently talked to the salesperson about this, and she had told me that the space required around a bar is a standard measurement, and the gentleman who did the measuring should have advised me accordingly.) I told the installers that I wasn't about to pay for them to come out again and install more hardwood (this portion of the project was already costing over $2000). The lead installer assured me that if it could be left as-is, then completed when they returned to install the laminate flooring (in a separate area of the basement), then it shouldn't cost anything because they would be there already. I touched base with my salesperson to confirm the plan.
As the rest of our new flooring was installed and the remodel progressed, I received credit card receipts and invoices at random intervals in the mail from JP Flooring. I understand that they charge a deposit when materials are ordered, then process the remaining balance once a job is complete. However, I now have ten separate and different invoices from JP Flooring, and seven separate charges on my credit card. Their convolluted invoicing and processing methods have made the flooring the most confusing part of our remodel project (and it was a rather complicated project). I was charged more than the original invoice for the hardwood, because another box of hardwood flooring had to be ordered to complete the job...But that was not evident on the paperwork I received after my credit card had already been charged $214 more than the amount I had authorized. So, I never did get the contractor's discount and I was charged more than I had agreed to pay, without my knowledge or consent. I contacted the billing office at JP Flooring to address this issue and I was referred to my salesperson. She said she would look into it and call me back...
Carpet in bedrooms, stairs, hallways etc is great. Lived up to my expectations. Furniture replaced with great care.
One week after carpet was installed in family room and home office noticed snags in berber from our dog. Our home is only two people and a 17 pound dog. Carpet that was replaced was a 19 year old berber that survived 3 various dogs, 3 active children and ourselves, never had a problem with it. I contacted Ro about this problem as carpet is a new Shaw carpet, and asked is there a problem on Shaws end with this carpet. She forwarded my email to service. After a week of no response, I contacted Ro again, she contacted service again! A few days later service called, Inquired about my vacuum beater bar being the problem, I said no it is my dog. Who gets groomed every month, including having nails trimmed and filed as she is a therapy dog and I make sure her nails are not sharp when she visits patients in the hospital on a weekly basis. Service man came out, repaired carpet and advise I put dog toys in garage. At this point, my husband who overheard conversation, explained dog was here before carpet, we never had problem with any carpet before with our dogs, and that we are not happy customers. Serviceman said he sees no problem with carpet, took sample with him and said he would let JP flooring know we are not happy customers. A week later no response. I am worried with holidays approaching and my children returning home with their dogs, this carpet will not withstand three dogs running around on the carpet. It is a new carpet that can not withstand dogs walking on it, so is there a remedy? I do not know, if I knew it could withstand dogs, iI would be happy with the carpet, it looks great, just not functional.
11/26/2011 Despite what the serviceman said, Shaw has decided to replace the carpet. JP Flooring contacted me. I asked to wait till after Christmas holidays as I have many house guests coming, etc.. Ro, the kind soul that she is, is sending more carpet samples to me so I can pick out a durable carpet for my family room.
Install was done in about 2 days (using 2 people). Be prepared to move everything (ugh!) to make a clear area for installation.
It's been over a year now and we are very, very pleased with the carpet. Even the cat can't stain this stuff. :)

"First of all, "Thank you" for your nice comments. They are much appreciated. It sounds like you have some major issues with floor squeaks. Unfortunately, the carpet installer is not the person to fix floor squeaks. The installer can nail down loose underlayment. However, this is a minor source of most floor squeaks especially major ones. I definitely agree with your comment regarding more sales. JP Flooring will be doing more promotions and sales. As of this response (1/16/12) We are offering one room of StainMaster Carpet for $379 and a Kitchen backsplash for $699. In addition, we will be offering our spring and fall promos for Shaw and Karastan carpets. We expect 2012 to be a very exciting year for us at JP Flooring. Please check out our web site jpflooring.com to see what is happening. Again, thank you for your comments and we sincerely appreciate your business. Rick Iannitti, VP of Quality Control & Financial Services."
