New beginning for Carrousel Carpets

When the North Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce held its monthly Business after Hours networking event at Carrousel Carpets last week, it was more than just an opportunity to exchange business cards.
It was to celebrate the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the business that is now under the ownership of longtime employee Michael “Mickey” Zambuto.
Zambuto promised that while the ownership has changed, the same quality service and merchandise has not.
“People can expect the highest quality installations around. We do all types of flooring and specialize in manufactured homes because of our location near the senior communities,” Zambuto said.
There are 10 senior communities within a few miles of their location, Zambuto said.
Carrousel Carpets opened in 1997. Zambuto came to Florida from New Jersey in 2007 and began working at Carrousel as an installer. In November, Zambuto took over ownership as the previous owners wanted to enjoy retirement.
Shortly after taking over, Zambuto joined the Chamber, which thought it would be a good idea to get the company’s name out and announce the ownership change.
“I wanted to join a group of people who were doing the same thing I was doing and that is to provide quality service to people in North Fort Myers,” Zambuto said.
Besides carpeting, Carrousel does laminate flooring and vinyl flooring. It also provides full service on everything they do.
“People just have to open the door and we take care of everything from moving furniture to getting rid of the trash,” Zambuto said.
Everything Carrousel sells is made in the U.S.A. They sell major brands such as Shaw, Mohawk and Mannington, as well as wood laminates, no-wax vinyl and carpet remnants. They do some tile, but manufactured homes can’t usually stand up to the added weight.
“We also do repairs. Manufactured homes sometimes have leaks and we fix flooring and subflooring. When we say we do it all, we mean it,” Zambuto said.
Installation is guaranteed, with no charge for in-home estimates. Among their specials is a $499 installed laminate flooring. They service commercial and residential customers.
And when they do an installation, Zambuto is still the one who does the work.
Carrousel Carpets is at 1903 N. Tamiami Trail and is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
