Great experience, beginning to end.
Went into the store on Friday, April 24 and picked out a carpet sample we liked (which they let us take home to confirm the color we preferred). All pricing was per sq.ft. and included the carpet, pad and installation, so that allowed us to calculate a ballpark figure and we knew what to expect when they came out to measure and give the official price, which happened the following Tuesday.
They warrantied the installation for as long as we're the homeowners and the pricing was middle of the pack compared to quotes we had received from Home Depot ($1500) and Harrys Carpet One ($2800), so we were happy to move forward based on the reviews on Angies List and from others.
We were able to have them out to install TWO days after their visit and the installers they used (a team of two from Kingston) were very friendly and did a great job with the installation and ensuing clean up. We were surprised that there was no selection of the padding since that was a part of the sales pitch from the other two quotes, but the end result looks fantastic and is extremely comfortable so we are ecstatic with the end result and the whole experience.
Week before the installation, I had called Dave to check if we were still good on the dates, due to the fact that we had many nasty snow storms mid Jan through Feb. Dave said we were good for the scheduled install.
On the day of the install, Mike, the installer showed up on schedule and on time. He was a fourth generation carpet installer. Mike was very accommodating of my request to install the stair runner per my liking instead of their standard way of doing things. The underlayment padding used appeared to be of good quality and the installation was also great. The end result was a stunning stairway and a very happy customer.
Well done team General flooring. I will definitely use and strongly recommend General Flooring of Weymouth for future flooring project.
Very well: on time and well done.
There were two surprises, neither very important. First, the original subfloor was too well glued in place and couldn't be removed. The new subfloor overlay raised the finished floor to the extent that adjoining doors needed their bottoms raised (by others). Also, the old house has no kitchen baseboard, so the new flooring needed caulking where it met walls and cabinets (also by others).
We walked in and were greeted by a very friendly staff. We explained that we wanted whole house carpet as we were expecting a new baby and needed to get rid of the nasty carpet we had. We told them our budget and began looking around. One difference right off the bat was that the prices they showed per square foot was all inclusive. It included delivery, pad, removal and all labor. This was refreshing. When we had gone to others it was a square foot price plus all the extras.
We took home a sample board and the next day someone came out to measure. It was very quick and we made our decision. Another great thing is that they use 15' carpets so I would have no seams in any room. We went with 2 colors and we were set for install. They took 1/2 up front with the remained due upon completion.
The day of the install they were on time and very friendly and professional. They moved all the furniture quickly and without hitting any walls. Install went flawlessly. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
tearing up the previous flooring and installing new underlayment for the new vinyl. The installer arrived, checked the floor and told me that the previous flooring was installed directly on the subfloor and that he would lay the new floor on top of that. I later discovered that he was in error and that,in fact, the previous floor had been installed on top of the house's original flooring and had been laid on a plywood underlayment. Because of the installers error and because less work was required by not tearing up the old flooring, the company offered to reduce the cost of the work by a thousand dollars. I thought this was a fair offer and accepted it. The installer did an exceptional job laying the vinyl flooring and we are completely satisfied with the work and the integrity of General Flooring. I would not hesitate doing business again with this very reputable company.
