    Just had my rug installed. Rafael sold me the rug and was super knowledgeable and took his time explaining everything to us. The installers were just as good. They took their time, cleaned up, and did a SUPER job. I will definitely be returning when I purchase another carpet.

    I had a very unpleasant experience at this store. A guy older gentleman assisted me, and his attitude was extremely rude and unwelcoming. I went there specifically looking to purchase a particular type of flooring, but instead of receiving professional and helpful service, I was treated with disrespect and a complete lack of willingness to help. A company that claims to have been in the market for 40 years, I believe that there is little time left to close the doors by acting in this way. I don't recommend this place to anyone, if you want to be well served, don't come here!!!!

    This place is incredible. They saved me 3K on an 800 sq ft install. They exceeded my expectations. their installers were amazing, always on time and left my place cleaner than they found it. Excellent place to do business with

    This is the 2nd review I have left for this company. They previously carpeted 2 rooms and a hallway. They did a great job and I am happy to report they did a great job laying the floor down in an extra room.

    I have used The Carpet Store 4 times now, to replace carpeting in 4 different homes where I have lived at here in the Tampa Bay area. Several of those times Clara was my salesperson. She is amazing; she listened to my flooring needs and wants and she patiently guided me through the process start to finish. The installer that she recommended, Andres, was prompt, friendly and competent; I ended up having him replace my older existing tile with a newer and more modern tile - that I also purchased through Clara. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I recommend the Carpet Store for your flooring needs, without reservation. I know you’ll be as happy with your end result as I have been each time.

Company Background

About The Carpet Store

The Carpet Store has sold floors around Tampa Bay since 1988, according to its website, which describes a family of flooring with the service of an independent retailer and the prices of a larger chain. The Tampa store is on West Hillsborough Avenue, and the company also runs stores in St. Petersburg and New Port Richey. The catalog covers carpet, carpet tile, hardwood, laminate, tile, luxury vinyl, waterproof flooring, vinyl and glass tile. The services page lists installation, free in-home measurements, laminate installations and tile installations, and the site has a financing page and a program for contractors.

The company holds 4.7 stars from 300 Google reviews, read on November 1, 2026, the largest review count among the independent shops here and the lowest rating on this list, so skim the recent comments to see how current jobs are going. The site does not print a contractor licence number, an owner name or labour warranty terms for the Tampa store.

The Carpet Store suits homeowners in Town 'n' Country, Westchase and northwest Tampa who want a long-running retailer with a physical store, measuring at home and several floor types in one place. It suits less well anyone who wants a boutique feel or a single named project manager. Before booking, ask for the measurements in writing, ask whether installers are employees or subcontractors, and verify the contractor licence on the Florida DBPR lookup at myfloridalicense.com.
