Carpet, LVP, hardwood, refinishing, laminate, and custom area rugs and stair runners for Gaithersburg: the 1990s neo-traditional single-family homes of Kentlands and Lakelands, the 1960s and 1970s townhouses and condos of Montgomery Village, and the lakefront rentals around Washingtonian and the RIO. Our Olney showroom on Village Center Drive is the anchor; the install happens at your home.
“Refinished oak in a Kentlands single-family, waterproof plank over a Montgomery Village concrete slab. Different homes, one Olney showroom.”
Gaithersburg housing is mixed. The 1990s and 2000s neo-traditional single-family homes and rowhouses of Kentlands and Lakelands sit near the 1960s and 1970s planned community of Montgomery Village, with its single-family homes, townhouses, and condos, plus the lakefront townhomes and rentals around Washingtonian and the RIO. Roughly a third of the city rents, which shapes what we install. Townhomes, condos, and rentals over concrete and upper-floor subfloors favor durable waterproof LVP and carpet, and the high turnover drives value-tier laminate, carpet, and stair runners.
The Kentlands and Lakelands single-family homes are where hardwood and refinishing make the most sense. A sand and stain takes the wear off existing oak for a fraction of replacement. Laminate fits the dry upstairs rooms, and custom area rugs and stair runners are cut and bound in-house in about a week, a common ask in Montgomery Village townhomes with their straight and turning staircases.
The Olney showroom at 18167 Village Center Drive anchors the work and is the closer drive for Gaithersburg, Montgomery Village, Germantown, and Rockville. It carries every line we install, and every sample is available to take home. Install crews work out of both showrooms and the Gaithersburg warehouse on Atlas Drive, so your job is assigned by the crew that fits the schedule. We come to your home in Gaithersburg, near Kentlands Market Square or Olde Towne, to measure, check the subfloor, and finish the floor.
Every floor we install, framed for Gaithersburg homes. Carpet and LVP lead the list here, with hardwood, laminate, refinishing, and custom rugs right behind.
One of the floors Gaithersburg homeowners ask us for most, from Kentlands single-family bedrooms to Montgomery Village townhome stairs and basements. Plush, berber, patterned, and commercial. Softest for bedrooms, quieter for basements and stairs, and a value-tier option for the city's many rentals. Most in-stock carpet installs within a week.
In Montgomery Village and Washingtonian, where townhomes, condos, and rentals sit over concrete and upper-floor subfloors, LVP is the durable default. Rigid-core LVP installs over the slab and shrugs off water, which makes it the call for Gaithersburg kitchens, basements, mudrooms, and rentals. Wide-plank, matte, looks like real wood.
Oak, walnut, hickory, maple, birch, and American cherry. Solid for main floors, engineered for below grade. The longer-term choice for the Kentlands and Lakelands single-family homes that want a forever floor.
A harder top surface than most LVP and a footfeel close to real wood, and a value-tier pick for the city's high-turnover rentals. Right for the dry upstairs, hallways, and bedrooms; we steer you to LVP or tile where water lands.
The Kentlands and Lakelands single-family homes have plenty of hardwood worth saving. A sand and stain takes the wear off, changes the color if you want it to, and costs a fraction of replacement. Often the best return on any pre-listing floor work near Kentlands Market Square or Olde Towne.
Bind a remnant into a rug, or fit a runner to a straight or turning staircase in a Montgomery Village or Lakelands townhome. Custom edges, wool, synthetic, or blended fiber, cut and bound in-house in about a week.

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.

We knew working with Steve and his staff would be a positive experience, from carpet selection to reasonable pricing to superb measuring and installing. Simply the best in Montgomery County.

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.

Carpet and Vacuum stand behind their product and install 100%. The owner Mike Zanville went to great lengths to make sure that we were happy with the new carpet in our master bedroom. Excellent customer service.

We had luxury vinyl installed on one floor of our house and are very pleased with the results. Mike and his team were professional and easy to work with. I recommend them for their high-quality installation, responsiveness, and professionalism.

Steve bent over backwards to install LVP flooring as quickly as possible. Bruce, who came to measure, was very helpful. The installation team did a great job. The floors, stairs, and trim look fantastic.

I used Carpet and Vacuum Expo to install LVP and LVT in a condo I bought for my mother. Working with these guys was a pleasure from start to finish. My mother is so happy with the flooring and has received many compliments on it.

Yes. Gaithersburg is one of the towns our Olney showroom serves first, from Kentlands and Lakelands to Montgomery Village, Washingtonian, Quince Orchard, and Olde Towne, along with Germantown and Rockville. The Olney showroom on Village Center Drive holds the samples; the installation happens at your home.
Our Olney showroom at 18167 Village Center Drive, in Olney. It is the closer drive for customers in Kentlands, Montgomery Village, Quince Orchard, and the rest of Gaithersburg, as well as Germantown and Rockville. It is our flagship showroom and carries every line we install, with every sample available to take home. Call it at (301) 924-7331.
A lot of Gaithersburg housing is townhomes, condos, and rentals, especially in Montgomery Village and the Washingtonian area, where floors sit over concrete and upper-floor subfloors. Rigid-core LVP installs over the slab, shrugs off everyday water, and holds up to kids and pets, which suits those kitchens, mudrooms, and main floors. It is also a durable, value-conscious call for the city's large share of rentals.
Yes. We come to your home in Gaithersburg, whether that is a Kentlands single-family or a Montgomery Village townhome, to measure the space, check the subfloor, and bring samples in the light of your own rooms. Checking the subfloor matters here, since concrete slabs and upper-floor subfloors point to different products. After we see the space and understand the full scope, we can give you an accurate timeline and estimate.
It depends on the home and the room. In the Kentlands and Lakelands single-family homes, hardwood and refinishing make the most sense. In Montgomery Village and Washingtonian townhomes, condos, and rentals over concrete, waterproof LVP and carpet are the durable picks. Carpet is one of the most-requested floors here for bedrooms, basements, and stairs, and value-tier laminate, carpet, and stair runners fit the city's high-turnover rentals. For kitchens and basements where water is a concern, we recommend waterproof LVP rather than laminate.
It varies by job, depending on the square footage, the material, and whether existing flooring has to come out first. A single Montgomery Village townhome staircase runner is quick; a whole Kentlands single-family in hardwood takes longer. Most in-stock carpet installs within a week. After the in-home measure, we give you an accurate timeline for your specific project.
Yes. Gaithersburg ranges from the 1990s neo-traditional builds of Kentlands and Lakelands to the 1960s and 1970s planned community of Montgomery Village, and we install across both. Install crews work out of both showrooms and the Gaithersburg warehouse on Atlas Drive, so your job is assigned by the crew that fits the schedule rather than by which showroom you visited. We come to your home to measure, check the subfloor, and finish the floor.
