TESTIMONIALS

What our Clients say about Us

Carmen's One-Step is a great product. We have been using it for 8 months already and haven't had any issues with it. In fact, it is much easier on the hand than the other adhesives. It’s very smooth to apply over concrete. Will buy it again.

E & G Flooring

I have used Carmen's One Step Adhesive for one restaurant installation project –wood over ceramic tile. The customer wanted an easy fix without a lot of dust and dirt, and we found a solution -Carmen's One Step Adhesive. Instead of taking a week, we did it one day! We cut the labor and the downtime for the restaurant. The customer is very happy with the end results. I highly recommend this product.

Gerry from Shaw Design Center

I used Carmen's One Step Adhesive for 13,000 sq. Ft of floor over concreteproject. We had an amazing experience using the product. This adhesive has a good coverage, and it is easy to apply. I will definitely use this adhesive again in my future flooring projects.
