Services
In 1949 we began with a handful of employees cleaning carpet and rugs for local customers. Soon after, we started selling carpets and renting mats. Our location at 1855 Columbia Avenue in Lancaster PA is home to our three divisions - Cleaning, Floor Coverings and Entrance Mats. We are dealers of both Abbey Carpet and Karastan Carpets.
Carpet continues to be one of the most popular flooring choices for many consumers for a number of reasons. Carpet adds beauty and style to any room. Today, there are thousands of colors to consider. It can be a neutral foundation or a focal point with bold colors and dramatic patterns and textures.
It is a great decorating tool, providing a relaxed backdrop or making a bold statement with bright colors and unique designs. Improves air quality by trapping dust and allergens, removing them from circulating in the air. Understanding carpet construction is important for choosing the right carpet.
Now that you've selected your new flooring, we will schedule a professional installation. To make this installation as smooth as possible, we have prepared a pre-installation checklist. Here you'll find general guidelines that should be followed prior to the installation of your new flooring. Make arrangements prior to the arrival of the installation crew for removal of old flooring.

We used Certified to fix an area rug with buckling and restretch a basement carpet. They did a phenomenal job and prices were very fair. I wish I could provide the names of the workers. They were very professional and knew what they were doing. Highly recommend.

We contacted CC because of water damage and they were extremely professional in telling us all options to repair or replace. Our decision was to replace and they just installed new carpet and we are more than satisfied with price and installation. Thanks you for your great service.

From the first visit with our sales representative to just now paying our bill over the phone, the whole experience was excellent. We re-carpeted our entire home after 32 years, and Certified could not have been better to work with knowing that this was going to be a pretty big disruption to us personally. Carpet is beautiful, the Installation was excellent and we are thrilled! We have very happy feet! Reconfirmed our decision to only buy local and support those who support our community!

My recent rug cleaning experience (Nov. 22, 2019) with Certified Carpet was awesome. From the initial booking, to the service call to the actual cleaning of the rug areas, I was impressed with the entire experience! My cleaning representative (James) was outstanding--courteous, friendly, helpful, professional. He went above and beyond. My carpets looked great!

I actually called around to price area rug cleaning prior to making the appointment w/Certified Carpet. Their pricing was by far the most competitive, and offered pick-up and delivery, which is definitely an advantage. My area rug is several years old and just simply needed refreshed, no stains present. So while the rug wasn't in bad shape, I was so pleasantly surprised by how NEW it looked upon delivery from cleaning and scotchguarding.

And while the carpet looked great, it is not the only reason for providing this review. Two gentlemen by the names of Andy and Glenn provided the service. Kudos to Certified for employing kind, knowledgeable and capable team members. They arrived when they promised, were respectful of my home, and responded kindly to my picky placement of the rug. :o I would absolutely recommend Certified Carpet for their impeccable service, both inside and outside their facility. And tell Andy that I still won't allow my husband to walk on the rug.

I run a local nonprofit community center. We were in need of new flooring that was sturdy and would hold up to heavy traffic. Will Adams from Certified Carpet came in and provided a great product at an affordable price. The installer worked so quickly that I was able to get the room painted in the same week. Love, love, love our new floors and so have the our community members, especially our Yoga Classes. Thank you Certified Carpet, job well done! Willonda McCloud

Certified Carpet did an excellent job installing new hardwood floors in our house. I really enjoyed working with Will to get everything measured, ordered, and scheduled. I appreciate the fast and personal service from this local company. This was our second job wit Certified, and we will come to them again. I highly recommend Certified Carpet.

We engaged several carpet places and after reviewing prices and carpet styles, we picked Certified Carpet for our project. We had wall-to-wall carpet installed in our living rooms, stairs and landings. A five star rating given because from start to finish everyone at Certified Carpet worked with us in an extremely friendly and personal manner. We probably drove Stefany nuts as we had a difficult time coming to a decision on type and color but you'd never know it.

She was top notch and worked with us. The scheduler worked with us as well and we got the dates we wanted. When the day arrived, our installers were on time and made it look easy. Chuck and Nick did our house and they were respectful of our house and property, cleaned up after themselves and did a bag up job installing the carpet pad and carpet. The carpet looks great and with an inspectors eye, we could not find any faults.

Two things stand out. 1. During the install process we changed our mind on some trim and styling and it was a non-issue to Chuck and Nick and better yet, our price was reduced to reflect the changes! 2. After the install we had some remnants we wanted bounded and Stefany came to our house and picked up the carpet for the binding. That is above and beyond customer service! I would not have any reservations recommending Certified Carpet to family or friends for their carpet needs.

I have a 8x10 rainbow wool area rug that I LOVE, unfortunately my cat loved it as well so much so he peed on it. I tried for months to get the carpet clean- using all the suggested remedies to clean it, to no avail I started calling local carpet cleaning shops only to find out how expensive this cat pee was going to be (more than I paid for the carpet initially) I started looking outside my area (Northern VA) and found Certified Carpet of Lancaster PA, I called and spoke with Adam- He was super nice and knowledgeable- he sold me on the idea of driving my carpet 2.5 hours from home to be cleaned (the price did help:) I dropped the rug off with Dan, he was GREAT, explaining the process and even giving me a "tour" of where they cleaned rugs and the entire process--SO NICE!

The front desk women are super fantastic as well, unfortunately I do not remember their names but I highly recommend this company, not just because of the outstanding customer service but the quality of work. My beloved carpet is back in my house and NO cat pee smell, not even a hint. I LOVE CC of Lancaster! Sincerely, Kelly Cole NOVA
