Message from the Owner

I’m Tim, the proud new owner of Carpet Smart. Taking the reins of a business with over two decades of history is no small honor. Carpet Smart has always stood for quality, trust, and craftsmanship, and my goal is to build on that foundation.

I come from a background where commitments matter and attention to detail is a necessity. I believe quality products, preparation, good communication and delivering on time is critical to a successful project. At Carpet Smart every team member shares these values.

Great flooring isn’t just about material, it is about engagement. It’s about how it transforms a space and how it makes people feel at home. Thanks for being part of our journey. I look forward to meeting you in the showroom, on the job site, or wherever your next project takes you.

Warm regards,
Owner, Tim Potter
