Tile Flooring Picked for New Construction and Suffolk Remodels
Tile flooring is still the first floor a Commack remodel reaches for in a kitchen, a half-bath, or a backroom. All Carpet Inc. stocks tile flooring in two lines off Jericho Turnpike: vinyl tile for residential rooms and vinyl composition tile for commercial build-outs. Both come in wood-look, stone-look, and solid colors, with same-day delivery and next-day installation performed by our in-house crew.
Call the shop at (631) 493-9496 to pull samples before you drive over.
For a waterproof alternative with a realistic stone or wood look, see our luxury vinyl tile and plank. We also carry commercial sheet vinyl from Mannington, Congoleum, Armstrong, and Tarkett.
What a Tile Flooring Project Covers in Our Shop
- Vinyl tile flooring in wood-look, stone-look, and solid colors
- Vinyl composition tile (VCT) for commercial and backroom spaces
- Subfloor patch, embossing leveler, and crack isolation
- Dry layout before any adhesive touches the floor
- Scribed cuts around toilet flanges, cabinet toe kicks, and door jambs
- Full-spread adhesive sized to the slab temperature that day
- Haul away of the old sheet, VCT, or carpet
- Same-day pickup and next-day install when the tile is on the shelf
Every tile flooring installation starts with the subfloor. We check for soft spots, loose plywood, and old adhesive before any boxes come off the truck. From there, color, size, and pattern get picked in the showroom with full sample boards you can carry back to the room.
Where Vinyl Tile and VCT Earn Their Keep in Commack
Kitchens, laundry rooms, and half-baths
The classic residential use. Vinyl tile flooring in a 12 by 12 or a 16 by 16 lays fast, scribes cleanly against the toe kick, and skips the grout cleaning that porcelain demands every spring. A dropped glass does not chip the tile and a sump hiccup does not stain it.
Basements, playrooms, and workshops over slab
Vinyl composition tile sits flat on cured concrete and takes a workshop chair, a tool chest on wheels, and a kid on a scooter without complaint. Pull-up is clean when the room's purpose changes. For a finished basement that needs the look of hardwood, the plank side of our showroom is usually the better answer.
Offices, retail, and commercial back-of-house
VCT is still the honest answer in a commercial room. It is cheap, it is durable, it waxes up, and it looks sharp under fluorescent light. We lay it in diagonals, in two-tone grids, or in strict grids depending on how the architect drew the room.
How We Lay Tile Over the Trickiest Subfloors
- Calls and messages answered within one hour
- Free in-home measure and written quote the same day
- In-house install crew, no subcontracted labor on your floor
- Ralph, the owner, on every job before baseboards go back on
The crew starts with a dry layout, snaps the center lines, and sets a few tiles loose so the border cuts fall where they should. Adhesive is spread in sections sized to the open time the slab temperature gives us. Scribes finish last at the toilet flange, the door jamb, and the toe kick. We are fully insured on every residential and commercial job, which matters more on a basement slab than most people think.
From Shop Sample to Finished Floor
Here is how a standard tile job runs with us, from the first measure to the day the baseboards go back on.
- 01
Pick samples and book the measure
Walk the showroom to pick vinyl tile or VCT, or book a free in-home measure. Samples go home with you so the room's own light decides the color against the cabinets and the trim.
- 02
Old floor pull and subfloor prep
Crew pulls old sheet, carpet, or tile, hauls it away, and preps the subfloor with patch and embossing leveler so install day starts on a flat, dry, quiet deck.
- 03
Lay, scribe, and roll
Dry layout first, adhesive next, tile set to the center lines, border cuts scribed last. Finished floor rolled with a 100 lb roller, baseboards back on, room swept twice.
Ten minutes off Jericho Turnpike
If you have been searching for a tile flooring store near me from a kitchen off 25A or Jericho Turnpike, the trip is usually ten minutes. Sample boards come off the shelf by color and format, so the search for a tile flooring store near me ends on a layout you can see spread across our shop floor.
Round out the project with
- Carpet in the bedrooms cut from the same showroom floor and tucked at the tile threshold.
- Hardwood in the living room matched at the kitchen edge with a mitered transition.
- A bound runner for the hallway that quiets the walk between the tile and the stairs.

Tile Questions From Suffolk County Homeowners
What kinds of tile flooring do you install in Commack?
We stock vinyl tile flooring and vinyl composition tile (VCT) at 6183 Jericho Turnpike. Both come in wood-look, stone-look, and solid colors. The vinyl options give you the clean square look of ceramic or porcelain without the grout line to re-caulk every spring. For a true waterproof plank or stone-look floor, our LVP and LVT lineup is the next room over on the showroom floor.
How long does a tile flooring installation take in a typical Commack kitchen?
A 180 to 220 sq. ft. kitchen is a one-day tile flooring installation once the old floor is up and the subfloor is prepped. A back-of-house commercial room with VCT and heavy traffic prep can push to two days. The subfloor and the layout, not the tile itself, almost always drive the clock.
A friend told me to look at porcelain tile flooring. What are my options with you?
Homeowners come in asking about porcelain tile flooring and ceramic tile installation all the time. We point them to the vinyl tile wall of our showroom first. The high-definition stone and marble prints read as porcelain from four feet away, lay faster, cost less, and skip grout cleaning for the life of the floor. If porcelain or ceramic is still the right call for your room, we are honest about that too and can walk you through the trade-offs.
Can you install vinyl tile flooring over my old sheet vinyl or linoleum?
Sometimes. If the old floor is flat, bonded, and the embossing is not telegraphing through, an embossing leveler lets the new vinyl tile sit flat. Soft spots, cracked grout under the sheet, or a loose seam mean a pull-up first. The free in-home measure is where we take a look and give you the honest answer before any boxes are opened.
Where is your Commack showroom and how fast can you get out to measure?
The showroom sits at 6183 Jericho Turnpike in Commack, open Monday through Saturday 10 to 6. Free in-home measures are usually booked inside two business days across Smithtown, Dix Hills, Northport, St. James, Fort Salonga, Melville, and Kings Park.
