Awesome job! They were super communicative in the estimate and scheduling process. The install crew were all really nice guys who did an amazing job. Our floors look beautiful. We have a stone fireplace and the installers went way above and beyond making the floor sit right against it instead of just grouting the gap. We seriously could not be happier.

Work was completed timely in 3 days. Tile appears to be a different brand than quoted.

The carpeting looks great and the carpet layers were true professionals. They went out of their way to help with moving furniture and cleaning up. We are very happy with the carpeting. The tile was set to our satisfaction and looks good. We removed the baseboards ourselves. However, the casings to a doorway had to be shortened to allow for the tile to fit under the casing. About 1/4 to 3/8 inch more than was needed was sawn off the casing and required some extensive repair. We were unhappy with that part of the job.

Very badly. Larry came to our home and showed us sample of wall-to-wall carpet. We decided we wanted a patterned carpet so bought a sample and brought it to the store. Larry looked at the back and said it could be cut to the size of our small room and tacked down wall-to-wall by the installer he uses named Patrick. We were thrilled. He quoted us an installation price of $150 plus $21 for a pad. We called him two days later and said the newly completed room would be ready to carpet on Friday. He said it would take 2-3 work days. There were two issues: 1. No one called or gave us an install date. From Patrick it was always, "I'll call tomorrow and let you know my schedule." I called the office and talked with Larry's son Dan who said he didn't know if Patrick was still ill and didn't have his schedule. Patrick said Dan is the one who creates his schedule! The install finally happened just over a week later but we had to be available every day until then in case that was the install day. 2. The more serious issue was that when Patrick and Alex arrived, Patrick said they could not tack strip the area rug! He said they could only loose lay it, which means basically putting down double-sided tape around the room, cutting a mat 3 inches smaller than the room and then laying the rug down on the sticky tape. This is absolutely not what we had agreed upon! So now there is a 3" depression around the circumference of the room where the rug has no mat and there are also raggedy edges along the walls where the rug was cut. I tried to get Patrick to explain why he couldn't turn over the edges of the rug and tack it down but he never gave me an answer. Rather he said, "Don't you trust me?" Well...no, not really. I would suggest you hire a different company, one that is responsive to customers and doesn't promise something it can't deliver. UPDATE: 2/22/2017 I spoke with Larry today. He started by saying now he will never recommend anyone to anyone and blamed the installer. I tried to tell him that it was he who said that our area rug could be cut and tack stripped. He started yelling and said what do you want? Do you want me to send you a check for $1,000. Then he said, I'm giving you the phone number of my attorney. I said I am not talking about litigation, he hung up on me. Do not use this company!

We were delighted! Larry, the owner, spoke with us several times as we looked for just the right tile and gave good advice. He was unfailingly gracious. We had several conversations, as the right color was hard to find. The final selection was just what we needed and we felt that the price for the flooring and installation was fair. The installer, Carlos, was highly skilled, punctual, considerate and a genuine craftsman. We highly recommend this local business.

This was by far one of the best experiences from start to finish. Larry is truly the best! Honest and respectful of budget. I will never go to another carpet place, nor will I ever recommend any place other than The Carpet Store and More!

The installation went well. The tile, carpet, baseboards look really good. We primarily worked with Larry Horchwert and found him to be fair and honest. All of the subcontractors were very competent and have worked with the Carpet Store for years. We liked that they could do the baseboard replacement as well as carpet and tile replacement. They were flexible in that they were willing to work with any tile we chose whether it was offered by the Carpet Store or another company. When we first went to the store, we were planning to have tile from another company installed but ended up finding tile that was perfect from the Carpet Store. We felt their products were good, their service was excellent, and their pricing was very fair. When they went to install the tile, they found they unexpectedly had to remove old vinyl which cost them an extra day. There was no extra charge. They also didn't charge to move furniture. We would not hesitate to recommend them or hire them again.

The carpeting job went well. It is what happened next that was such great service. The carpeting proved to be defective. The folks at the store gave us some things to do to ensure there was a problem and upon confirming there was, they arranged to replace the whole house with no problems whatsoever. They were friendly, helpful and courteous. We recommend them highly.

I required new flooring in a home that was the estate of my parents in order for me to sell the home. The price was fair, the service excellent and the final impression was favorable. The carpet supplied was of good quality and with padding the price was reasonable. The installation was flawless. Great job!!!!

Our experience with The Carpet Store was outstanding.  

We were given excellent advice in picking the appropriate commercial grade carpet and pad for our needs and within our budget.  The measuring went smooth and professional.  The day before the installation, the lead installer stopped by to check out the space.  The day of the install, Jorge and his crew arrived on time.  They carefully removed the old carpet, pad, tack strips and baseboards, keeping the dust to a minimum (very important since we are a clothing store).  They also removed wood laminate from our dressing rooms.  The concrete floor was thoroughly scraped and vacuumed before they began installing the new carpet and pad.  Once the new carpet was installed, it was vacuumed again.  Due to the fact that our store was fully stocked at the time of the install, we had placed all of our racks and merchandise on one side of the store while they carpeted on the other side.  Once the first side of the store was completed, all of those racks and merchandise needed to be moved to the other side.  The crew even pitched in and helped us move racks!  I am so very impressed by the professionalism of all the staff we interacted with.  The installers worked together like a well oiled machine.  Our store was left as clean as it was when they arrived and there were no marks left on our freshly painted walls.  Obviously, we would highly recommend.

Our entire experience with Larry at the Carpet Store was great! They let us take home samples for as long as we needed to make the decision. When we changed our minds, they made it easy to amend our order. We felt good knowing that we were supporting a local business as well as having a lifetime guarantee on the workmanship. We have been very happy with our carpet.

It was great! We went to the store and made an appointment for them to come out and measure. They were really good about staying within our budget. They were very good. They cleaned up their messes and I was able to keep the extra carpet that was left.
