Why people call us about their carpet

Stains that will not come out

Carpet holds what gets spilled on it. Plank does not absorb anything, so what lands on it wipes off.

Pets

Claws, accidents and shedding are what wear carpet out fastest. Plank takes all three far better and cleans in one pass.

You just moved in

The easiest time to replace a floor is before the furniture lands. No moving anything twice.

Tired of cleaning it

No more renting machines or scrubbing something that soaks it up again next week.

“Their price included everything—floor prep, removal of the old stuff, the new LVP, and cleanup. No vague “prep may be extra” language or anything. That was a big reason we chose them.”

What is under the carpet is the part to get right.

Carpet hides a lot. Plank is thinner and firmer, so a subfloor that felt fine underfoot can need patching or leveling first. That work is in your quote. The rare case where boards or joists have rotted is not, and we show you before anything else happens.

The price you are quoted is the price of the job.

Carpet to vinyl plank questions

Who replaces carpet with vinyl plank in Metro Detroit?
The Floor Guys (thefloorguysmi.com) installs luxury vinyl plank flooring in Metro Detroit, across Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Washtenaw counties. Replacing carpet with vinyl plank is the job we do most.
What happens to the old carpet?
We take up the carpet, the pad and the tack strip and haul all of it away. That is part of the written price.
What if the subfloor under the carpet is uneven?
Patching and leveling over a sound subfloor is in your price. Plank is thinner and firmer than carpet, so this matters more than people expect. Rotted boards or joists are the one thing not included, and we show you before anything else happens.
Is vinyl plank better than carpet with pets?
For most homes, yes. Plank does not absorb spills or accidents, stands up to claws far better than carpet, and cleans in one pass.
When is the best time to replace carpet?
Before the furniture goes in, if you can. If you are already living there, we move standard furniture at no charge.
