RiverTown, FL
New carpet installation by Gator Carpet & Tile includes full subfloor prep, moisture testing, seam placement planning, tack strip installation, pad selection, and professional stretch-in installation. We carry hundreds of carpet styles across multiple performance levels to match every budget and use case — from bedroom softness to rental-property durability. Sitting directly on the St. Johns River means RiverTown has some of the highest ambient humidity readings in St. Johns County. River-facing homes experience regular fog and morning dew that works into every gap and transition. We use commercial-grade moisture barriers and fully waterproof LVP for all ground-floor installations in RiverTown.
We measure your space, move furniture if needed, remove existing flooring, prep the subfloor (level, clean, dry), install new tack strips and pad, then stretch and trim the carpet for a tight, professional finish with no visible seams in traffic areas.
RiverTown is all new construction, with homes being delivered from 2018 to the present. Dream Finders, Mattamy, and Lennar are among the active builders. Open floor plans with large sliding doors to lanai spaces are common — this indoor-outdoor connection means flooring transitions need to be carefully planned and executed with appropriate thresholds and transitions.

The community is growing rapidly and word of mouth is strong — Gator Carpet & Tile has built a network of referrals throughout the RiverTown Facebook groups and HOA forums.
Carpet Installation in RiverTown
Most residential carpet installations are completed in a single day. Large homes or multi-room projects may take two days. Commercial carpet tile installations are often completed overnight to minimize business disruption.
In Florida's humid climate, we recommend nylon or polyester carpets with moisture-resistant, antimicrobial backing and a quality foam pad with a moisture barrier. Avoid natural fiber carpets like wool in high-humidity Florida environments.
Yes, but only after moisture testing. Florida slabs can transmit significant moisture that will destroy carpet and pad if not properly addressed. We test before every concrete slab installation and recommend appropriate moisture barrier padding.
