"I had an outstanding experience working with Macadam Floor and Design and I can’t say enough good things about my flooring representative, Katie. From start to finish, the process was smooth, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable — which is not something you can say about most home projects! Katie stood out immediately for her professionalism and warm, approachable style. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, walked me through options without overwhelming me, and provided thoughtful recommendations that truly elevated the look of my home. Her product knowledge is incredible, and she made sure I felt confident in every decision. The installation team was equally impressive — punctual, skilled, and respectful of my space.

We are a full service flooring, furniture and window coverings store. Family owned and operated for 55 years. We sell a variety of flooring options including hardwood, carpet, marmoleum, cork, and laminate, and luxury vinyl tile. We also sell and install blinds and shutters. Our custom rug workroom can put the finishing edge on your leftover carpet pieces, or design a custom rug. Our professional and courteous installers are all employees of our store so we are able to warrant the product and the installation. We pride ourselves in providing quality products and service at a competitive price. Let us assist you with selecting the right product for your lifestyle that will look nice in in your home or office.

"We dealt with Koeber's in the past when replacing bathroom flooring and were very pleased. Based on our experience, we turned to them to replace our existing 1,000 square feet of laminate and tile downstairs flooring. The business is relatively small family owned and dealing with them feels that way - everyone was very helpful in helping us decide which type of flooring best met our needs. We did not price shop - based on reviews and our previous experience, we chose what we felt was the best option for our work. On the negative side, the installation queue was 8 weeks out - not a problem for us but might be an issue if you had to have it done tomorrow. The installation took 4 days and they were able to float the flooring material over our existing floor with no transition required - even though we used a different pattern in our kitchen area. The installers (John/Kevin) were extremely polite, moved all of our furniture, worked around our PC so it did not need to be disconnected, and were extremely tidy. We are quite pleased with the flooring and our dealings with Koeber's. Shopping around might get you a better price but our chief criterion was quality and dependability - and we were not disappointed."

"Jennifer, Kristina and the entire team are amazing - a first class act. It's really true - once you start with one area you just want to keep going. I've worked with Team Nifelle on two different projects - one being a complete remodel of a second home and then redoing and freshening up areas in a home we built 18 years ago. Her office staff and designers on her team are top notch. I can say that I look forward to each time a meeting is scheduled - lots of creative energy flows. And results are fantastic. Jennifer and Kristina have patiently worked with me through lots of questions and many doubts - and it has all turned out beautifully. You can trust Jennifer and her team for the very best of it all."

Please CALL for appointments and estimates! Professional Carpet/Flooring installation coupled with honest TRUE SAVINGS of wholesale materials for over 25 years. Residential/Remodel/New Construction/Small Commercial/repairs Labor guarantee 4 years! unmatched in industry. We follow CRI guidelines to the fullest. Your investment is taken seriously. Thousands of references, and repeat customers Pride in workmanship, Certified with CRI, and Orcon since 1999. 25 Plus years of installations, and counting. We want to earn your business, from start to finish. No project too big, or too small. The smallest of details matter. There IS a difference!

"The Pro: Carpet was removed, pad and new carpet installed for our entire upstairs in less than two days. The Negative: There are multiple seams in our hallway that were not there when the previous carpet was installed and two stand out, and when reaching out to the owner, he immediately told us why it had to be that way and that there is nothing wrong with what had been done. Two of his installers were the ones laying the carpet and he only came by for the bid. He said that he had us order less carpet to save on waste this way. We have a LOT of extra carpet which would have been able to be utilized on the entire hall so this did not seem accurate. He told us the he would come out and look but if he did and didn't find an issue that he would charge a trip fee, and he then told us why we would be wrong and be charged. Later that day we also found a hole in the stairway with some torn sheet rock. When texting him about this his response was "it wasn't us". Who else was there at that level working on carpet I ask? Yes, he cashed the check and hasn't responded when we told him that it was them. Unless you just want a quick installation with seams in places you wouldn't expect, and no positive follow up, we would not recommend working with Pannell Floors. Updated: The owner, Dave, has responded multiple times and that we have chosen not to engage any further. We understand that the hole may be an issue from the past, but not the tear in the sheetrock. We have reached out and had an independent inspection completed, and will be having our hallway carpet reinstalled with less seams in the near future. We recommend that whenever you work with a contractor, that you ask about where seams are going to be placed, and if they will show, as the fact that every time I walk down my hallway and see 3 seems in less than 20 feet, I question the logic and need for this. We would NEVER want to sabotage a contractor's business. As stated before, if you want a quick installation, go with Pannell. Much of the work is quality as well. The seams and customer relations at the completion are the reason for this review, not the quality. A few of his comments: "why your so dead set against me I can only guess, but it's apparent you had this in mind prior to our install as we were nothing but courteous, on time, and professional" "Please get inspection so you can stop trying to ruin our livelihood and reverse your false review.""

"They did a beautiful job. Rescheduled a few days before they began, but they finished the job on the new schedule. I do not know if the price they offered is competitive, since I did not seek other bids. I purchased the Marmoleum separately."

"Purchase of materials was fine. Carpet installation was fine. The hardwood floor installation was, and still is, a disappointment. The installation is shot through with gaps. Some of which were filled with an oil base putty whose color is not really close to that of the floor planks. The major issue though was that the installers failed to quiet squeaks in the subfloor of the whole upper hallway. Nor did they mention it prior to installing new flooring over it. The whole upstairs had to be ripped out and reinstalled. The Floor Store did pay for the rework but the fact that such thoughlessness was demostrated was astounding. The reinstall was performed by their "cleaner" but the nosing and several other spots have the same gaps with the same putty. I would not recommend The Floor Store. We cant be the only ones that have experienced."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Smaller carpet installations may take less than a day, while full-home installations can take several days. However, your carpet installation timeline will ultimately depend on a few factors, including the number of rooms you’re renovating, the project’s total square footage, and the carpet type. Installation will take longer if your carpet company needs to repair your subfloor or remove old tile flooring.

Carpeting has a few benefits on stairs in addition to being a cost-effective floor covering. It absorbs sound, dampening footsteps. It also provides additional traction, which is especially important if you install linoleum floors, epoxy flooring, or any other floor covering that can become slippery if you’re wearing socks. Therefore, carpets can help prevent slips. 

While it’s possible to install carpet yourself, it’s best to hire a local carpet installer to ensure it’s done correctly and safely. Before installing carpet yourself, check whether the manufacturer’s warranty will remain intact. Many manufacturer’s warranties won’t cover the cost of materials under the warranty if it wasn’t installed by a pro. In addition, you should only install carpet yourself if you’re familiar with the tools required and if the installation is straightforward, not involving things such as floor vents or stairs. 

Installing carpet over carpet may negatively impact the resale value of your home. While it offers a quick fix, potential buyers may view it as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment in quality flooring. Properly installed and maintained flooring adds value to a home, so removing the existing carpet and installing new flooring may be a better option to attract prospective buyers and maximize resale value.

Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.
