(07)In practice

Three ways we work.

Interior of the Olney showroom with carpet samples

(01)Showrooms

Walk into Olney or Potomac.

Samples come home with you. Nobody follows you around. Bring a paint chip, a room measurement, or just a question about what you are looking at.

Refinished oak hardwood looking into a dining room

(02)Refinishing

Breathe new life into existing floors.

You don’t always need new floors. Sand, stain, refinish, on the wood you already own. The single highest-return prep work before listing a home.

How refinishing works

Rolls of carpet stacked in the Gaithersburg warehouse

(03)Products to Go

Contractors and designers: wholesale pricing, fast.

The Gaithersburg warehouse stocks enough carpet, LVP, and laminate to fill a job that starts Monday. Set up an account by phone, or stop in.

How Products to Go works

Hardwood stairs

Before and after: a hardwood stair install.

Old stairs torn out. New oak in. Finished in place. Drag the slider.

Before refinishing, Hardwood stair install — Drag the slider or use arrow keys for precision.

Floors were cracking bad. We spoke with JP, and sure glad we did. He gave an honest opinion and helped us pick out the right kind of flooring. Crew came in and was very efficient. The whole bottom level of the house was replaced in two days.

Reliable, trustworthy, helpful. Just words but Carpet and Vacuum Expo really bring them to life. Without even meeting in person, I could not be happier that we chose them to update our floors to beautiful composite wood flooring.

I had luxury vinyl planking installed in my entire home and so glad I did. Mike was so helpful when I was trying to choose a color and brand. The men who did the installation really knew what they were doing and cleaned up before they left.

I took up the carpeting which ran throughout my condo and had luxury vinyl installed last year, and then this year, I had the kitchen floor done too. Mike is such a joy to work with, thank you so much for all your help Mike.

I cannot say enough good things about Carpet and Vacuum Expo. Steve is professional and courteous. We got a great price on white oak engineered floors and they kindly fit us into their schedule. Best part is the customer service. Thank you, Steve.

Bought carpet for our home theater room. They took the time to chat with us to find our needs and narrowed our search out of a huge selection. The install arrived on time, finished early, left the place clean, and the carpet looks great.
