The Power of Carpet One
When Barbara and I purchased the Columbus Carpet Mill Store in 2008, we didn’t know a lot about Carpet One. What we did know was that the Store had grown well beyond its carpet mill outlet store roots which dated back to its beginning in 1964. After a few months of debate, we decided to change the name of the store to Flooring & More Carpet One.
We did this for several reasons:
- the Store offers much more than carpet including wood, tile, vinyl, laminate, rugs…not to mention our Steamatic cleaning and restoration division (www.SteamaticOfColumbus.com)
- the old name carried the connotation of a mill outlet store…while we still have great bargains in our 18,000 square foot warehouse, everything we carry is a first quality, running line item
- we began to understand the power and value of being part of Carpet One
So our new logo became this:
So why are we so proud to be a part of Carpet One? A little learning and experience with Carpet One quickly provided the answer. In one way or another, Barbara and I have had the privilege to have been a part of several fine organizations, and we can easily say that Carpet One stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of the businesses with which we have been associated. The attitude is simple: outstanding service with the best products and prices for every Carpet One customer. In fact, something that we discussed recently at a Carpet One trade show is what we call our Carpet One brand box:
- Over 100 million floors sold…Carpet One has installed over 100 million new floors of all types in homes and rooms of all styles
- #1 buyer in the world…as a member of the world’s largest floor covering buying group, we buy the best brands for less to sell for less
- Over 1,000 locations…Carpet One’s locally owned and family operated stores have provided generations of personalized service and community support
- Over 20,000 years combined experience…beyond expert training, we have the experience required to ensure that your floors are installed perfectly
- 100% satisfaction guaranteed…if you don’t love the Carpet One floor you choose, we’ll replace it for free. That’s our unique Beautiful Guarantee.
As Barbara and I have learned, Carpet One truly is “nationally known, but locally owned.” Come see us and put the power of Carpet One in your home. Beautiful. Made Affordable.

Doing It Yourself?
We pride ourselves on offering our customers solutions for their flooring needs. And certainly we have the largest selection of flooring materials in the Chattahoochee Valley. Not only can we help you make a selection best suited for you and your lifestyle, but we can install your new floor for a one stop shopping experience. Of course some of our customers are much more handy than yours truly and prefer to simply “do it yourself!” We want you to have it your way…turnkey installed by our experienced craftsmen, your own installer or do it yourself and we’ll provide the materials.
In fact, flooring installation can be fun for the whole family. I just reviewed a wonderful home project and had to share it with our readers. Thanks to the Crawfords for not only being a customer, but for sharing their installation experience with us. By the way, the floors look great guys…super job. And special thanks to Emily for the production!
If you watch the attached video, you’ll see the Crawfords hard at work AND having fun (ask Dad last!). Thanks again guys for sharing!

Learning is a Constant at CFM and Steamatic
Learning is (or should be) a life long experience. We try to practice what we preach. At Flooring & More, we have regular PK’s (product knowledge meetings). The subjects can cover products, installation techniques, promotions, applications, trends, and a whole lot more. We are committed to providing expert advice and guidance through our store where there are literally 1,000′s of products. Some products are better suited for certain applications than others. For instance, you may have seen an earlier post on our dogs (family members and the live with us inside as well as out). We are also looking and replacing existing carpet with wood flooring. The choice quickly moved to a handscrapped, distressed wood look to better “tolerate and disguise” the inevitable knicks and scratches that will occur over time.

Not all of our training is at the store or even local. We travel to get the best information and to attend regular trade shows and seminars. Below is a picture of Glen (www.SteamaticOfColumbus.com division). He is playing co-pilot on our way to Ft. Worth, Tx for training and to bring back some new equipment.

Flooring & More Hires New Spokes Dog!
As you can imagine, every retailer struggles with how to get its message out to the public in such a way that the information they want to convey is separated from the rest of the clutter with which we are bombarded. As we pondered that question, we decided that we needed someone that knew floors from the ground up, literally. Then it hit us, who spends more time on a floor than our faithful best friend, the dog.
So the search began…where to find a dog with charisma, knowledge, and dashing good looks (after all, this was to be our spokes dog so we set the bar high)? After countless interviews and a lot photos, we have made our selection. We are happy to introduce you to Cooper!
Cooper
We work with a limited advertising budget, so we knew negotiations on the talent fee would be a challenge, but a few choice treats and chew toys got the deal done! We also knew that Cooper had the flooring experience we were looking for. You will see what we mean in the next photo where you can see Cooper clearly checking out the comfort level of some new carpet before he gives it his “Good PAWS Seal of Approval”. I am happy to report that this carpet did, indeed, pass muster!

Cooper, Welcome Aboard! We look forward to working with you!
