Jimmy and Lorenzo were top notch to deal with. Listened to my goal and my concerns, didnt push for high dollar materials (but had plenty to offer) On time, every time, did exactly what was asked and more. The house looked beautiful when they got done and it had some pretty weird quirks to work around. I will be using them exclusively from now on!

We just had new flooring installed in our house, and everything about our experience was amazing. Ramie helped us pick out the perfect flooring, and Craig did an outstanding job with installing it. It’s perfect and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Ramie and Carpet Advantage for any of your flooring needs.

Wonderful company to work with. Knowledgable staff and very good installers. 3 week process from picking out carpet to having it installed. Don’t hesitate to use them. Much better than the big box stores and larger companies in town.

I usually wait to review a company after using there services unless it was a horrible experience. By far dealing with carpet advantage was the easiest and best flooring experience I've ever had. They worked within my budget and didn't try and upsell me. They also worked around my busy schedule. Jimmy and Ramey were outstanding to work with! I am looking forward to working with them again on my next flooring project.If you read nothing else of my review, don't waste your time at the big box stores and go see the guys at carpet advantage. They have the same as big box stores and better prices , plus flooring you cannot get in big box stores. Go see them you will not be disappointed.

I’m a flipper and have used carpet advantage on several occasions. I’m very appreciative of their ability to accommodate my construction schedule. I’m equally impressed with the quality of work and the speed in which they complete a project from order to install.I look forward to working with them again soon.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. These are some of the finest people you could do business with. Patient, kind, personable, informative are Jimmy & Ramie on the sales floor. And then there's Victor's installation crew that are beyond excellent in their work of installing our floors. Polite, neat, and a pleasure to be around. Even the singing was great! The cost was very reasonable....best price for the shopping around CU that I did! Thank You Carpet Advantage!!

We work with Carpet Advantage and they are consistently one of the best companies for flooring, period. Jimmy and Ramie are always on point with keeping a project moving and if an error is made, they're excellent at correcting it. I'd highly recommend them.My primary interaction with the company is by way of the property management firm that I work for and we definitely appreciate their attention to detail and professionalism.

Two of the big box stores which promised "free" installation overstated the square footage of carpet by 15% or more. Since I built my house, I know exactly how many feet of carpet it requires. Carpet Advantage was the ONLY store I visted that did not embellish the numbers. The price was fair and competitive and the service was pretty good considering how difficult it is to get contractors freed up in this day and age. That would be my only complaint, everyone seems to be overextended today.

I am so pleased with my kitchen/flex room flooring. I chose the flooring and had it ordered at the end of July 2021, but because of a post-pandemic glut of people wanting new flooring, I had to wait till October for installation. Once the flooring arrived and installation was scheduled, the installers did a fantastic job, including repairing a rotten area of flooring in the utility room and installing 18x24 inflexible tiles around various water and gas pipes with minimal seams. The Coretec Stone cork-backed tiles I chose were pricier than others I considered, but well worth the extra cost in terms of looks, durability and comfort underfoot.

Great experience with Ramie's team - from the sale to the installation. Wonderful locally owned business - the sales team members are very knowledgeable of the products - carpet, tile, etc. They are equally cost conscious and make astute recommendations on how to get the best value for your dollar! The installation team was professional, did an exceptional job, in an efficient manner. I could not see any seams in the carpeting, the baseboards were left in immaculate shape, despite tearing up 17 year old carpet. Honestly, don't know how they moved all that heavy furniture around in such a short period of time! I would highly recommend this company!

Brandon and his team at Carpet Advantage did an expert job putting in my LVP and carpet. The LVP had an issue reacting to heat from a window and they replaced everything that needed fixed at no charge. Friendly and respectful of my property and great at what they do. Best prices I found in town for labor too. I will be using Carpet Advantage for my next remodel and recommend them to anyone.

Carpet Advantage did the laminate floor in our kitchen around four years ago. We were very pleased with the work they did so when it cam time to replace some of the other flooring in our house, we went to them first. After we chose colors, and received a quote, we were told the laminate color had been discontinued. We were assured several times that someone would drop samples off to our house so that we could choose a different color. I am only giving them two stars because Jimmy was good to work with initially. Once the owner became involved, we never heard from them again despite several phone calls.

Shopped around all the flooring places in the CU area and made our way over to Carpet Advantage. Ramie was very knowledgeable and helpful. Got us quotes and samples quickly. Pricing was considerably better than quotes we received at 3 other stores in town.Replaced flooring in about 75% of our home. Installers were professional and polite over a multi day job. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of flooring or the way it was installed. Ramie was great to work with before, during, and after, and I'd definitely recommend them to my friends or family.

The team at Carpet Advantage was excellent to work with. They were very patient with the process I had in choosing the correct selection for my home. The installation was an easy experience. They were responsive and accommodated my requests often which was great. I have already told my peers of my good experience and will only choose their location for my future flooring needs.

We removed the carpeting from our home last year and replaced it with laminate. Ray and Ramie are very professional and friendly and we're extremely happy with our choice. We have already taken the opportunity to recommend Carpet Advantage to a lot of our friends and business associates. We highly recommend Ray and Ramie of Carpet Advantage. Take it from me, another business owner in Champaign-Urbana.

I agree that Ray is friendly, but I was sold inferior carpet that didn't even last 7 months and neither Ray nor the manufacturers will stand behind the carpet. I wouldn't recommend buying Dream Weavers' carpet or any other carpet from Carpet Advantage.

Honest and excellent service
I had another company measure and give me an estimate for carpet for my house. When I started asking questions about my estimate like what is my square footage they got offensive but showed me the numbers anyway. I went to Carpet Advantage and ended with a better grade of carpet and pad plus it was cheaper due to their measurements (which Ray measured and emailed a detailed estimate) by being over 100 square feet less. I will always refer friends and family to Carpet Adavantage from now on.

Great pricing and customer service!!!
"I wanted to carpet 2 areas on a budget. I spoke with Ray and he was very helpful in guiding me to carpet that workd fir me and got both areas done on budget. I had looked at other places and he beat their pricing, including the fee for instalation. The delivery guys were very pleasant and the carpet looks great!!! They were later than I expected and it took longer than I thought it would. But they cleaned up after themselves and worked with me to keep the noise down while my 2 year old napped. I will deffinitly be using them again in future."

Nice job!
"I'm someone who has never gone through the carpet buying process before and Ray was very helpful in explaining all the different types of carpeting and giving me pricing figures up front. I took several samples home and came back at least one other time to drop off samples and pick up others. Ray was always good in answering my questions. In the end, I selected a carpet and the guys who did the installation did a nice job. I'm very pleased with the look, feel, and compliments I have gotten on the new carpeting. I would not hesitate to go through Carpet Advantage again. Overall, it was a good experience for me."

Great products and service
"Early last year we purchased carpeting; Ray was very helpful and patient while we went through a long decision-making process about what carpet to choose. There is a very large selection of styles, types and colors. Installation went well, and we are quite happy with the quality of the carpet. Late last year, we decided to tile a bathroom. Again, we are very pleased with the product and service. There were a couple of delays with installation due to the surprises that working on an old house can bring, and Ray went to great lengths to ensure that the job was completed before Christmas, as planned. We highly recommend this business and will definitely work with them again."
