Flooring for St Kilda East homes
St Kilda East stretches from Alma Park across to Hotham Street, between St Kilda, Balaclava and Caulfield North, about 12 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. Grand Victorian and Edwardian houses, many divided into flats, sit beside interwar apartment blocks and newer townhouses.
With so many homes changing hands or tenants, fresh floors are often part of getting a property ready.
Getting a property ready to sell or lease
New carpet is one of the quickest ways to make a home look fresh in photos and at inspections. If you’re preparing a property:
- Keep colours neutral. Light greys, beiges and soft oatmeal tones suit most furniture and most buyers.
- Choose hard-wearing for tenants. Solution-dyed nylon resists stains and fading, and hybrid or 5mm vinyl plank is easy to clean between leases.
- Do the whole property at once. One measure and one written quote, emailed within 24 hours, makes it easier to plan around open homes or a lease start date.
We can take up the old carpet (about $8/m²) and move furniture ($8/m²). Get a rough figure first with our instant price guide.

Quoted by people who install
In many flooring stores, the person who measures your home never lays a floor, and the installer turns up with a work order that doesn’t tell the whole story. CarpetAce was set up to close that gap. Tony Chalhoub has been a carpet installer for more than 20 years and founded the business in 2010. Today we’re a family-owned team with more than 40 years in flooring, rated 5.0 from more than 300 Google reviews.
Questions about flooring in St Kilda East
What does solution-dyed mean?
The colour is added to the nylon before it’s spun into fibre, so it runs right through each strand instead of sitting on the surface. That’s why it resists fading and most stains.
Do you handle the whole job, including the old carpet?
Yes. We take up and dispose of the old carpet, move furniture if needed, and lay the new floor. Each item is listed in your written quote.
Can I choose a different carpet for each room?
Yes. Many owners use a tougher carpet in the living areas and a softer one in the bedrooms, and we measure and quote them together.
