A-1 Carpet and Tile

Agreed, agreed, agreed.
I went from thinking that buying new tile would be a fun project (thanks, Pinterest), to quickly realizing that it’s a total pain in the arse that involves calling multiple suppliers, navigating contractor prices vs. public prices, visiting appointment-​only showrooms, and just generally jumping through hoop after hoop… until I called A-​1. Michele answered the phone and within 3 minutes had a better price on a better product than my contractor and all his designers were able to find.
It’s a 3-​person operation, so the personal attention is high. And because they buy direct, they leave out the middleman and pass on the savings to their clients. I saved about 35% from my next lowest quote.
It was generally just an easy, organized, upfront experience. I only wish I also used their installers! There’s always next time…

Curt and the team at A1 saved me! I had a house I needed to get on the market, and they were able to find carpet and vinyl for me, quickly available, and at a super price. The installation team were great, very meticulous, and happy to go the extra mile. I’d definitely recommend A1 Carpet and Tile!!!

The best! We had recently moved to Portland and purchased a townhouse in horrible condition that needed new carpet & flooring (among many other things). A-​1 is in NW and is small shop focused on customer care. I personally like to shop in smaller stores, not giant warehouses where too many choices can bog you down. Michelle was very helpful in narrowing even further and creating a cohesive look while understanding our needs.
Fast forward to installation time– their installer, Mark was very professional & knowledgeable. We had a lot of snafus with the contractor (who was not licensed and bonded – lesson learned) and Curt at A-​1 was there to help with recommendations. Now we are well on our way to completion and being able to enjoy our new home.
Very professional and very organized company-​we will definitely be back to A-​1!
