Over 50 Years of Excellence in Flooring

From a single carpet store to San Diego's premier flooring destination

Carpeteria

Carpeteria Carpet One, formerly Carpeteria, began providing floor coverings to the San Diego community in 1974.

What started as a father and son endeavor, developed into a multi-location, multi-generational family business with an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

Over the years, what has set us apart has been our people and our drive to provide the most professional flooring experience in the industry. From material selection to installation, we strive to delight every customer with the kind of seamless experience that you can only get from a local family business.
