Carpet and flooring in Menzies Creek
Menzies Creek is a rural township in the Dandenong Ranges about 5 km east of Belgrave, named after James Menzies, an early digger, after gold was found here in 1858. It’s about 32 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. It was the second station from Belgrave on the narrow-gauge line now run by Puffing Billy, with a railway museum near the station, and because large landholders didn’t subdivide, it never filled with weekenders.
When a new floor is a different height from the old one, the doors need to be checked too.
Doors and new floor heights
- Why it matters: a new floor can sit higher than the old one, especially when thick carpet and underlay replace thin vinyl, or a hybrid goes over existing boards.
- We check every door at the measure, including robes and the laundry, and note any that may catch.
- Door trimming is quoted at the measure and included in your written quote, so there are no surprises on the day.
- Sliding and bi-fold doors have tracks to work around, so we plan the floor edge and trims to suit them.
Our installation and care guide covers the day itself.

How a job runs
It starts with a phone call or an enquiry. We arrange a time for the free measure, Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm, and bring the mobile showroom so you can compare samples in your own light. Your written quote is emailed within 24 hours of the measure. When you’re ready, our installation team lays the floor, and we can take up the old one and move the furniture first.
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 Menzies Creek
How much higher will the new floor be?
It depends on what’s coming up and what’s going down. Hybrid is 7–9.7mm thick, and carpet with 10mm underlay adds a little more; we work it out at the measure.
Will you rehang the doors?
We pick up any doors that need trimming at the measure and include it in the quote.
Do you travel to the hills?
Yes. Menzies Creek is within our service area, and the mobile showroom brings the samples to you.
