Carpet Advantage was opened in May 1992 by Ray Lantz who has over 40 years experience in flooring retail. The name was chosen to reflect the fact that the first showroom was in our van, thus adVANtage. Over the years, as we have grown, the name has come to symbolize the many advantages that our customers receive when the come to our store. Family-owned and locally-based, Carpet Advantage strives to offer great service, great selection and great values.
Started in 1992 with only 1 employee and 1 subcontractor installer, Carpet Advantage has grown to 4 employees and 15+ subcontractor crews. We moved to our state of the art facility at 213 S. Industrial Circle, Urbana in March of 2007.
Ramie Lantz joined Carpet Advantage in Jan 2004 and has over 9+ years of flooring experience.
Ray or Ramie will make house calls to measure before any flooring is ordered. Each works closely with the installation crews to make sure that everything is done right to ensure the very best service.
