Carpet Installation in Gloucester Point, VA

Gloucester Point is a census-designated place in Gloucester County and the county's largest community. English explorers including Christopher Newport, John Smith and Robert Tyndall came here in 1608, when it was called Tyndall's Point. Colonists built fortifications on the point in 1667, and the site was rebuilt and used again in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. After Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, the British and Hessian forces at Gloucester surrendered about an hour later. Tyndall's Point Park marks the fort site today.

The 2020 census counted 10,587 residents. The CDP covers 16.4 square miles, and 7.0 of those are water, including the tidal York River, Sarah Creek and part of Timberneck Creek. The College of William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science is based here, with Gloucester Point Beach Park beside its campus. Just up U.S. Route 17, Hayes is one of the county's two main commercial centers, and the Guinea area nearby has long been the center of the county's seafood industry.

Route 17 crosses the York on the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge, which opened in 1952 and was rebuilt and widened in 1995. At 3,750 feet it is the largest double-swing-span bridge in the country, and tolls on it ended in August 2025.

With that much tidal water around, humidity is a fact of life, and homes on low ground near the river and creeks need a floor that won't be ruined by moisture. Luxury vinyl plank with a waterproof core is our first recommendation for kitchens, baths, entries and ground-floor living areas. Porcelain tile is a strong choice for baths and mudrooms. Carpet still belongs in bedrooms and upstairs rooms, over a dense pad, and we include an upgrade to an 8-lb pad at no extra charge. Before any floor goes down, we check the subfloor and moisture, especially over crawlspaces, because a waterproof plank can't stop water coming up from below.

Gloucester Point is the farthest point in our service area: across Hampton Roads to the Peninsula, then north on Route 17 through Yorktown and over the York River. We come to you for the in-home estimate and bring samples.
