I went in looking to to buy hardwood flooring for my kitchen and dining room thinking it would be easy to maintain. Boy, I'm so glad I went to Carpets Plus. After explaining that I had two big dogs and two young children, they helped me realize hardwood flooring would have been a mistake. Instead I purchased a vinyl floor that looks just like ceramic tile. My friends just love how it looks and even think it's tile at first glance. It cleans up so nicely. The installer, who was super nice btw, was even able to fix the height differnce between the kitchen and dining room so you can't even tell. I can't say enough about how much I love my floor. It has such warm tones and I can paint my walls any color to match. I have the look of ceramic tile without it feeling cold or worrying about cracking a tile if one of the kids drop something. All the sales staff I talked to were very helpful and accomodating. They really seemed to care about what I needed and asked all the right questions.
