You’ll walk into your kitchen tomorrow morning without tiptoeing around that coffee maker or worrying about the dog’s water bowl. Your floors will handle whatever Long Island throws at them – beach sand tracked in from summer visits, winter slush from boots, or that inevitable basement moisture that comes with waterfront living.
No more panicking when someone forgets to wipe their feet. No more expensive refinishing every few years because water found its way underneath. These floors are built for Poquott homes where real families live, entertain, and actually use their spaces without constant worry.
The best part? You’ll save money long-term because there’s no refinishing, no special cleaners, and no costly repairs when moisture inevitably shows up.
We’re Hamptons Carpet One – the flooring company Poquott homeowners call when they want it done right the first time. Since 1988, we’ve helped thousands of Suffolk County families transform their homes with floors that look stunning and actually last.
We understand what waterfront living does to floors. We’ve seen every type of moisture challenge Long Island can dish out – from basement humidity to coastal salt air. When you call us in two years with a question, we’ll still be here with the same family ownership and commitment to getting it right.
Our showrooms in Southampton and Center Moriches give you one of the biggest waterproof flooring selections on the east end, so you’re not stuck with whatever’s in stock at the big box store.
First, we come to your Poquott home with our iPad measuring system – no guesswork, no “oops, we need more material” surprises. You get an accurate estimate the same day, often within hours. We’ll leave samples so you can see how your waterproof flooring looks in different lighting throughout the day.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days depending on your space size. Our licensed, insured crews show up when promised, work efficiently, and clean up completely before they leave. You’ll be walking on your new floors faster than you expected.
There’s minimal dust, no curing time needed, and you can walk on your waterproof floors immediately after installation is complete. The installation process is much cleaner and faster than traditional hardwood or tile.

We carry luxury vinyl plank (LVP), luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and waterproof engineered options that work specifically well in Poquott’s coastal climate. Each option is 100% waterproof – not just water-resistant. For Poquott homes, we often recommend LVP for main living areas because it gives you that authentic hardwood look families love.
LVT works great in kitchens and bathrooms where you want the tile appearance but with warmer, more comfortable footing. Our waterproof options include click-lock installation for easy replacement if needed, plus glue-down options for areas that see heavy traffic.
Living near the water means dealing with humidity, salt air, and occasional flooding concerns. Our waterproof flooring solutions are specifically chosen for their ability to handle these Long Island challenges while maintaining the sophisticated appearance that matches Poquott’s premium home values.
True waterproof flooring can handle complete water submersion without damage, while water-resistant materials will eventually fail when exposed to standing water. This matters in Poquott because of coastal humidity, potential flooding, and the reality that water always finds a way in Long Island homes.
Our waterproof luxury vinyl planks and tiles have sealed cores and surfaces that won’t absorb moisture, warp, or develop mold even if your basement floods or a pipe bursts. Water-resistant laminate might handle spills for a while, but it will eventually swell and buckle when moisture gets into the seams. For waterfront properties and Long Island’s unpredictable weather, true waterproof protection is essential for long-term peace of mind.
Most waterproof flooring installations in Poquott homes take 1-2 days, depending on the square footage and complexity of your space. Simple rectangular rooms go faster than areas with lots of angles or built-ins. We schedule your installation based on your timeline needs.
For a typical living room and dining room, expect one full day. Whole-house projects usually take two days, sometimes three if we’re also handling stairs or custom work. We protect your furniture and belongings throughout the process, so you can stay in your home comfortably. Our crews are efficient and experienced with Long Island homes, understanding the unique challenges of working in established neighborhoods like Poquott.
Absolutely. Our waterproof flooring options are specifically chosen for their ability to handle Long Island’s coastal climate challenges. The sealed construction prevents moisture absorption, which means humidity, salt air, and temperature fluctuations won’t cause warping, cupping, or mold growth.
Unlike traditional hardwood that expands and contracts with humidity changes, waterproof luxury vinyl maintains dimensional stability year-round. This is crucial in Poquott where homes deal with seasonal humidity swings, ocean moisture, and the reality of living near water. You won’t see gaps opening up in winter or buckling in summer like you might with other flooring materials. The waterproof barrier also prevents subfloor damage if moisture does accumulate underneath.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is 100% synthetic and completely waterproof throughout its entire construction. Waterproof engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer top layer over a waterproof core, giving you authentic wood grain with moisture protection. Both work well in Poquott homes, but serve different needs.
LVP offers the most moisture protection and is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where water exposure is likely. It’s also more budget-friendly and available in countless wood-look styles. Waterproof engineered hardwood costs more but gives you the authentic feel and appearance of real wood with waterproof performance. The choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and how much authentic wood character matters to you versus maximum water protection.
In many cases, yes, but it depends on the condition and type of your existing flooring. We can often install waterproof luxury vinyl directly over existing vinyl, tile, or properly prepared hardwood floors, which saves time and money on removal costs. However, the subfloor must be level, clean, and structurally sound.
For older Poquott homes, we thoroughly assess your existing floors during the consultation to identify any issues like loose boards, moisture damage, or uneven surfaces that need addressing first. Sometimes we’ll need to add underlayment or make minor repairs to ensure your new waterproof flooring performs properly for years. Our experience with Long Island’s older homes means we know what to look for and how to handle common issues without surprises.
Waterproof flooring requires minimal maintenance, which is perfect for busy Poquott families. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes sand and debris that could scratch the surface over time. For cleaning, just use a damp mop with mild detergent – no special cleaners or treatments needed.
The coastal environment means you’ll deal with salt air and sand tracked in from the beach, but waterproof flooring handles this easily. Unlike hardwood that needs refinishing or carpet that traps salt and moisture, you can simply mop up spills and salt residue without worry. No waxing, no refinishing, no expensive maintenance contracts. The waterproof surface won’t absorb salt or develop water stains, so your floors will look great year after year with minimal effort.
