The long experience and impressive network make Macadam Floor and Design a much-respected flooring company in Portland. Consequently, the company’s qualities make it a must-add to our list.

From its many features, what we love about Macadam is its wide selection of carpets. The products come in various styles, from smooth Saxony to luxurious frieze, that can speak to virtually any taste.

Moreover, its glamorous showroom is a must-visit so you can see the beauty of the selection for yourself.

The company has a team of designers who can help you decide what carpet option best fits your home, style, and budget. Assistance on this matter is ideal and a lifesaver if you’re new to shopping for floor finishes.

Know that Macadam is well-known in the city, though. That means it’s usually busy and frequently booked, which can result in some customers having to wait a while for responses from the service desk.

Moreover, serving many customers means the company might hire subcontractors for installations. Such situations may not sit well with homeowners who are big with ensuring that liability is well accounted for.

But we understand that one can’t just give up the company for its stellar carpet options.

If you’re thinking the same way, we recommend being more assertive by following up on your requests more frequently. Ensure that you’re also on top of the situation by being always present once installation begins at your home or business.

With close to 100 years of operation, Paulson’s Floor Coverings is easily one of the most senior players on our list. That said, this is the ideal company if you’re looking for a legitimate local business that has stood the test of time.

It’s a given that Paulson’s has a large selection of carpets thanks to their longevity. What makes them stand out is that they can buy directly from the world’s biggest carpet and flooring manufacturers.

We love this capability, as the company directly buying the products means fewer expenses in between. This way, Paulson’s can sell the materials to its client at much more competitive prices.

We are also on board the company’s online design tools, which aim to provide some guidance to clients looking to buy a new carpet or replace their old ones. The tools include a style quiz, a gallery of floors, and a point-and-click feature.

If you’re concerned about the price, you can also ask for a free estimate by filling out their online form.

We see Paulson’s as a reliable company, but we would love them more if they can improve their slightly outdated website interface.

We also find the sample carpet finishes available online too few for clients to discern whether to hire the company from aesthetics alone.

Thankfully, you can take advantage of the company’s five showrooms scattered around Oregon. Of course, you’ll need to set an appointment before visiting them to ensure that you’ll be welcomed in.

Simple Floors live up to its name with its easy-to-understand website and upfront carpet options available online. We love the straightforward option, as it makes it more convenient for prospective clients to see what the company has to offer.

And although the company’s flagship products are wood flooring, they also have a broad range of lovely carpet styles. From solid color and textured to commercial carpets, you can count on Simple Floors’ long list of options.

We love that you can acquire a free quote with only a few clicks, as it makes shopping around more hassle-free.

We also like that, based on reviews, the company offers one of the lowest prices in town and doesn’t neglect their clients in aftersales.

Let’s face it. Many installation companies often fail at the latter, so it’s a breath of fresh air to find a service provider that does its best to be different.

However, know that Simple Floors can be so busy, as they serve all of Oregon and Washington. If you visit their showroom when the demand is high, pack a lot of patience, as you might end up waiting for a showroom expert to become available.

If you love the allure of well-kept showrooms, we recommend giving Portland Flooring and Carpet a try.

The company houses an extensive array of carpet samples in its 5,000-square-foot showroom together with other flooring materials. This is exciting even if you’re not buying, as you’ll be able to feast your eyes on various textures and shades.

You can also gain knowledge by talking to the showroom experts, who are loved by customers for their helpfulness and expertise.

Furthermore, we like that the showroom is close to downtown, as it means travel will not be a problem if you live near or in the main city.

We love that the company accounts for clients who can’t come in person, too. A simple estimate application form is all they need to get recommendations.

Moreover, the company’s website has a list of carpet samples available for viewing, making shopping around more convenient for remote clients.

As is the case with many large flooring companies, Portland Flooring and Carpet is susceptible to delayed responses and installation errors. In-house estimates can also mean that the technician dispatched to your place for measurement will run late.

Thankfully, such incidents are rare. That said, always remember to expect for the worse and act accordingly by following up assertively and keeping track of the work done and prices billed to you.

We love extra services that yield outstanding results, and The Floor Store offers exactly that. The company has a competent design team that can recommend not only the best carpets but also window treatments for your space.

We find it convenient that the company is offering both services, as both elements are crucial for a well-put and cohesive interior.

While the carpet provides a warm atmosphere, the window treatment functions as light control and completes the look of the room.

The Floor Store has over 1,000 carpet style-and-color combinations available, making it almost impossible that you won’t find something that matches your taste. More so if you love the carpet manufacturer Shaw, which is their main supplier.

Meanwhile, Graber supplies the company’s window materials, which is good news since the said manufacturer is well-known for its top-notch products.

You can also rest assured that the company has enough experience under its belt, being in the business for over 20 years. Hopefully, The Floor Store’s staying power may help pacify qualms about the design and installation skills of its team.

However, we don’t like that the company doesn’t include any trace of pricing on its published online information. We also didn’t find an online request form exclusive for estimates, which can be inconvenient.

That said, a contact form is embedded on their website, so you can still send your queries. Moreover, you can always call or visit their showroom to know more about the company’s products and services.
