Commercial Project Management


Keep Your Flooring Project On Track


Cherry Carpet is your knowledgeable, experienced, local, hands-on partner, with you every step of the way. We see the big picture – the whole process – and we handle all the details for you.

From objective advice on product selection to overseeing the procurement and installation of your floor covering, our professional field supervisors are here to help. A vital part of a project’s successful completion is proper project management to assure proper logistics are considered. We take great pride in our attention to detail, which results in a pleasant experience and quality workmanship for our clients. Our work includes the following:

  • Pre-walk jobs to understand existing conditions
  • Accurate estimation
  • Order processing
  • Warehousing and delivery
  • Installation
  • Job site supervision
  • Verification that all material is installed according to manufacturer's specifications

Your flooring experience with us typically begins with one of our commercial sales team members. From there, your sales team member becomes your single point of contact while coordinating all aspects of your flooring project with our project coordinators and production team to ensure your project is handled properly without you having to worry about the details.

We know when your products are shipping, when they are received, when they are ready for installation, and that the workmanship of your products is first quality. We consider this to be a unique attribute of our company in contrast to many of our peers in the flooring industry. We consider the handling of your project after the point of sale to be as important as the initial selection process.

Our production team members develop relationships with the project superintendents and are fully invested in ownership of every project. Successful completion with accuracy, promptness, and quality is our focus.

Lift Systems


Replacing Carpet In A Large Space Can Be Daunting – With Cherry Carpet, It Doesn’t Have To Be


Moving furniture & office equipment is time consuming & typically ends up resulting in a virtual office shutdown.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Cherry Carpet has the lift systems required to make your facility flooring renovation fast & efficient while keeping your employee downtime to a minimum.

Our furniture lift technology is the efficient & economical alternative to dismantling & moving office furniture during installation. Our trained technicians simply lift the furniture off the floor with a hand-controlled jacking system without disconnecting existing electronics or breaking down furniture systems.

We can then easily remove & reclaim the existing floor covering & install your new flooring, all of which can be done while your business is closed. This minimizes interruption & saving you up to 40% of the cost of a conventional commercial flooring installation.

New floors will incrementally replace the old to create a refurbished work area or office with no down time in between. Additionally, we work with a local furniture company that supplies boxes & assists with logistics.

Moisture Mitigation


North American commercial property owners spend an estimated $2.4 billion dollars on remediation of structures and floor coverings as a result of moisture-related flooring failures yearly. An additional $2.2 billion dollars is spent on topical moisture treatments, of varying effectiveness, in an effort to address moisture issues prior to the first flooring ever being installed. Moisture vapor emission (MVE) has become more of an issue with fast track construction schedules, changes in adhesives, and sea-level rise over the past decade. Excessive MVE can be caused by lack of cure time under controlled conditions, curing compound, and improper water to cement ratios creating an excessive “water of convenience” used during the placement of a new slab. It can be caused in existing or renovated concrete as well due to lack of vapor retarders, improper or damaged vapor retarders, high ground water, irrigation, poor drainage and high water to cement ratio pours creating interconnected pores.

There are mechanically bonded and roll out sheet options to remediate MVE as well as finishes that are not sensitive to moisture vapor emissions (some resinous systems, ceramic tile and polished concrete.) At Cherry Carpet & Flooring, we have spent many years on education to know how to test, inspect, and ultimately know the best course to remedy these issues.
