Can you delay the furniture delivery for a couple of days? I know you want everything perfect, now. But Michael 61's insight is helpful, you may want all the floors done, & no furniture would make it much easier. The cost of spending a few nights in a local hotel may be worth it in the long run. You would be able to be onsite, first to make your decisions, get the flooring your really want, then to let the guys do the work & then finally to accept delivery of your new furniture. Best of luck in your new home.

Don't use The Floor Shoppe. Terrible customer service. Suggest you try Roberto's Flooring. Good to work with, reasonable prices, good outcomes.

Roberto's did my place. Very happy with it.

LVP is not one bit cold!

New Houses the Developer will do for thousands of dollars. After closing a flooring business will do for much cheaper. I have used LA Flooring on St Rd 301 in Wildwood twice. Great family business. Very nice and reasonable pricing.

QUOTE=yokodavis;2368205]Hi All,
I am a newcome, scheduled to close on my new house 09/24/24.

I would like to replace the carpet that the builder installed in the two bedrooms with the same vinyl plank the buider installed for the rest of house before my new furniture scheduled to be delivered on 09/25/24.



Has any one done this before ? Can someone recommend a flooring guy ?

We have done it twice. We used Roberto’s in Magnolia Plaza. They did a great job!

[LoisR]

Great Lakes in Wildwood. Wonderful to deal with.

[Joecool]

Roberto's flooring is great but that is not much of a window. Maybe put bedroom furniture in garage then set up after

I had BEST FLOORING located on 466 just east of Morse road replace my whole house. Super nice to work with, no pressure and they will show you the difference between it all. Water proof verse water resistant. Hot and cold types, and the different backings and their purpose. They were recommended by a business that had their store floor installed by them. Their preferred installer was a man and wife team. They were OCD about there work. I was super impressed with their craftmanship. I Give Best Flooring 6 stars on the 5 scale.

We replaced our bedroom carpet with well matched flooring by Floor Masters, I believe. We ordered an area rug for under the bed, 9x12 for us. The company did the floor, positioned the area rug, and repositioned furniture. Love it.

We have pets who sleep under the bed. Guard pets.

We have area rugs in the living room. If we could rip the carpeting off the bedroom floors, replace the particle boards with wood, then cover it with vinyl planking, we'd add area rugs for accent and "warmth."

Hoping to afford that within the next two years - that horrible BEIGE bedroom carpet that came with the house is dingy, stained, and can't be cleaned (because of the particle board beneath it - if it gets wet it'll expand and dissolve and we'd end up with sinkholes in our floors).

[AmYisraelChai]

I had the bedroom carpet removed from my bedrooms two weeks ago and installed LVP. My only regret is not bringing home the plank I selected to see how it would look in the house. Now I have to paint the walls to complement the color of the flooring.

Carpet is a textile. There is no such thing as ‘clean’ carpet. Entire ecosystems thrive within the fibers. Vacuum cleaners are unwieldy and can’t reach inaccessible areas. Even though most of the dust, dirt, debris (and critters!) is sucked up, you’re still left with residual grime. There’s a reason people do not have white carpets.

Carpet also cheapens the aesthetic of a house. Any other flooring will elevate your space, increase your home value, and be far easier to keep clean (really clean).

You'd be lucky to have someone available for that short window.

I was waiting for this response! LOL 😂 Never going to happen. Most flooring companies are 3-4 weeks out in their scheduling. The OP won’t even get measured before the furniture arrives.
