About us

. Lester Carpet was started back in 1954 by Larry Lester. Larry is now retired and his son, Neal, is running the business. Neal's two sons, Jason and Ryan are currently working at the store along with family friend David. With Neal's wife Esther handling the accounting for the store, it is truly the definition of a family business. For over 50 years, our family has been helping to beautify and warm the homes of our neighbors, as well as provide a fast resource for the television and film industry. With one of the largest stocks of carpet in Los Angeles, we have been able to provide fast, affordable service for residential and commercial jobs. Our stock consists of rolls that are discontinued products, specials, off goods, and seconds. We get them at discounted prices, and we are able to pass the discounts on to you. Can't find anything that works from our stock? No problem. We have a large showroom with a wide range of carpet styles at affordable pricing. Aside from carpet, we also work with hardwood, laminate, linoleum, VCT, and many other types of flooring. Come check out our inventory for deals, or the showroom (located on the 2nd floor of our building) for special order products. We work very hard to keep special order prices not just "competitive", but low. We keep our overhead as low as possible, and rely on our reputation for repeat business and referrals. This benefits our customers in two ways: -First, we have a very low advertising budget. We don't have to pass the cost of advertising into our prices. -Second, we have to make sure that every customer that we work with is going to call on us in the future, and trust us enough to refer us to their friends and family. We understand that a referral is earned. We value every referral, and we hope that we earn yours.

Description of Work: my 85 yr old mother with mobility issues needed the tiled floor in her 750 sq.ft. apt covered with wall to wall carpet for safety reasons. we had several companies, both national and local, come out to advise us and it wasn't until ryan from lester carpets came out that we knew we had hit the jackpot. calm, knowledgeable and helpful without being in the least pushy or aggressive, he gave us what he felt were the safest options within our budget and which would minimize the stress and upset that my mother would have to go through. |unlike other companies, he did not insist that we tear out the existing saltillo floor tiles at great expense, mess, and bother, instead he suggested we lay a heavy duty underlay with a close weave carpet that went wall to wall without being fixed down with glue or nails. we went with that option as it was the least upset for my mother while still giving her as good protection as possible. one month later we haven't seen an inch of movement in the carpet and it looks beautiful. ryan was very helpful and answered all our questions patiently and throughly. i also liked that because they were local and had a warehouse nearby, we could have gone to the warehouse to see the in-stock carpet we chose rolled out across the floor, to get a proper idea of what it would look like installed. |they were very reasonably priced and very flexible on installation timing - we were working around our builder's schedule, so once the order for the carpet was completed, lester carpets only needed 24 hr notice to come out. the installers were quick, professional, and cleaned up meticulously afterwards. i can't praise this company enough.

I have been using Lester Carpets for years and they are always good. They have a really wide selection and they have really good prices. They will come come out and if you call them like within a day they are out measuring.
Description of Work: We have a triplex and Lester Carpets always come out and put in carpets.

They were totally professional. It was a small room at a recording studio, and it was kind of a particular carpet. So, the pricing was not super reasonable because it is a hard-to-find carpet, and that they were actually able to track down and find it for us. They did it in a day, and the labor charges were totally reasonable. I would go to them again. I had bad experiences with other carpet companies, and they were on-point.
Description of Work: We had a water issue. We had a pipe break, and I had a room re-carpeted with hard-to-find carpet by Lester Carpets.

I found Lester carpet on Yelp before I had my AL subscription. They had 21 reviews at 4.5 stars, so they were one of 3 places I got quotes from. From the moment I walked into their store, they were extremely helpful and worked hard to stay within (and actually quite below) my budget. When the install day(s) (since I used them twice over a one year period) came, their workers did the job quickly and there have been no problems since.
Description of Work: We've actually used them twice. The first time was to re-carpet two bedrooms in our condo. The second time I used them, I hired them in my role as HOA president for my condo building. They replaced the carpet for 3 lobby areas, the elevator and 3 flights of stairs.

Tough job, but they did it soooo well. I thought that the stairs would be a hassle, but I went out for a few hours and they'd done most of the hard prep work in no time. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family that need new carpet. Always use local and family businesses.
Description of Work: They provided us with an amazing carpet and fitted the whole house, from top to bottom - 150 sq/yds worth. Bought the Yoga colored 'Inspired Influence' carpet. Love, love love it!! I didn't think about going anywhere else after they had just the carpet we wanted and they did it at the best rate for us. We have 4 floors and lots of stairs, but they all came out awesome! I was so relieved to get a great company to put us at ease and get the job done so well. It took them around 2 days to finish, but the carpets look amazing. Very professional and genuine company.

Excellent work. This was the second time using Lester Carpet. In November 2011, they installed both carpet and linoleum flooring in an apartment unit for me. Both apartments look fantastic. Lester Carpet was responsive when I initiallly contacted them. They came out to measure the apartments. I went to their store and selected the carpet and linoleum and a few days later everything was installed.

Small family owned business. Nice people. They can get you anything but specialize in remnants. The special orders take time but the remnants are ready to go, next day. The selection of remnants was reasonably large and we found a nice burbur which went well with our decor. Installed on time, next day for $15 sq yard total. Great deal. Nice, friendly, fast and cheap. Highly recommend.

IT WAS A VERY PERSONABLE COMPANY. THE GUY NAMED DENNIS SAT WITH US, SHOWED US DIFFERENT KINDS OF WOOD, MADE A COUPLE OF RECOMMMENDATIONS, ONE OF WHICH WE CHOSE, WHICH WAS WONDERFUL. HE HAD A COUPLE OF RUSSIAN GUYS THAT BUILT THE STAIRS BY HAND. WE FELT THAT WE GOT CUSTOM WORK AND SERVICE THAT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE. I HAVE RECOMMENDED THEM TO OTHERS.
