Carpet Installation in Yorktown, VA

Yorktown isn't a city or an incorporated town. It's an unincorporated community and the county seat of York County, founded in 1691 as a port on the York River for shipping tobacco. In October 1781, General Cornwallis surrendered here to George Washington and the French, and the battlefield is now part of Colonial National Historical Park. The Yorktown Victory Monument went up in 1884, and Riverwalk Landing opened along the waterfront in 2005.

The county is much bigger than the village. York County was formed in 1634 as Charles River Shire, one of the eight original shires of Virginia, and the 2020 census counted 70,045 residents. Grafton is its largest community, with Tabb, Seaford, Dare and Lackey among the others. From the 1980s on, the county changed from rural land to a bedroom community for Hampton and Newport News, and its southern part was essentially fully developed by the early 2000s. So a large share of homes around Yorktown date from the 1980s onward.

That's the age when original floors give out. Builder carpet has matted down in the hallways, sheet vinyl in kitchens and baths has started to lift or yellow, and a lot of homeowners are ready to run one continuous floor through the main living areas. Luxury vinyl plank is our first recommendation for that: it holds up to humid York River summers, won't swell when a dishwasher or toilet leaks, and handles kids and pets. Carpet over a dense pad still makes sense for bedrooms and bonus rooms, and we include an upgrade to an 8-lb pad at no extra charge.

The military is a steady part of the community too. Naval Weapons Station Yorktown dates to World War I, Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown is here as well. If you are getting a house ready to sell, rent or move into on a PCS timeline, give us your dates at the first call and we'll plan around them.

We should be honest about distance. Yorktown is at the far end of the Peninsula from our showroom at 2811 Lafayette Blvd in Norfolk, by way of I-64 and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. That's why we come to you: samples, measuring and pricing all happen at the in-home estimate. You get one upfront price covering furniture moving, tear-out, installation and disposal, and no bait-and-switch on installation day.
