Came here after experiencing many issues with the big Home Improvement stores. The level of professionalism, knowledge and helpfulness at Sid's was a breath of fresh air! Jorge was our contact and made everything so easy and convenient for us. The flooring products themselves are a wonderful quality for the price we paid and the installers were great---quick, clean and professional. Everyone showed up when they said they would. Couldn't ask for a better experience!

The carpet had to be special ordered and arrived on schedule. The installers arrived on time and finished the job quickly. I chose to dispose of the old carpet myself so they offered to cut it so that I could dispose of it more easily. A great job overall, I'm very pleased.

Service was actually provided by Sid's Carpet Barn on Miramar Road. Jim Grabowski was the contact person. He was prompt in his estimate and accurate on his pricing. He also had no problem in applying an Angie's list coupon for Sid's. The carpet installers called before arriving and were on time. A very good experience.
Description of Work: Assisted in store with choice of carpeting; gave estimate; and then installed the carpeting.

The salesman was super helpful. I knew what I wanted and he wasted no time in pointing me to the samples that met my requirements. He helped us to find the best combination of quality and price. Even though it was a small job they treated us no differently than anyone else. We needed a somewhat quick turnaround on install and they took care of it no problem. We went in on a Saturday and the carpet was installed the next day and done.

First off, the installer was late and his work partner didn't show up. The installer said the amount of carpet the estimate called for was wrong but he happened to have extra carpet on his truck. He said he could do it, but there would be so many cuts that it would look terrible and I would not be happy. He said to do it correct would be an extra $800.00. (By the way, this was told to me via my husband as I was at work) As the original cost was about $2,300...thought adding the $800.00 was crazy, especially since we had already pulled out the old carpet, cleaned up the floor and prepared it for installation! The sales person over the phone said my measurements were wrong....but I'm not completely sure that was correct as the installer never gave us a number for his measurement to compare it with. I cancelled the order and had Home Depot do the job with similar carpet and pad for $2,100!!!! That was LESS than the original estimate that was given me. From now on I'm going to Home Depot.
Description of Work: My husband and I measured our rental property and gave the diagram to the salesperson. I told him it was for a rental and didn't have a lot of money to pay for it. He based the cost on our measurement and told us the price was really good and lots of people use this for their rentals.

For the most part everything went very well. They were very friendly, helpful, and prompt with their service. My only issue is that we are slowly finding areas in the house where we will p**** our feed because part of the strip of nails is sticking through. Its only happened a few times and its annoying but not a huge issue. Overall I would say we were happy with everything.

Sids was my fourth stop in search of new flooring. Peter, salesperson was polite and very professional. He showed me a flooring new to me and gave me brochures to read. No pressure, just good info. I did my homework and decided to have this new tile installed. Peter sent Ernie, an estimator to my home. He too was very polite and professional. Installation was scheduled and performed at my covenience. Ernie and his crew were outstanding. The installation was done perfectly and fully met all my expectation. Highly recommend Sids for product, installation and price.

We went to Sid's at the beginning of April and chose our flooring and carpet to be installed. We let them know we needed it installed as soon as possible and by the end of the month at the very latest. We needed to be moved into the house a few days before May 1st because we needed the place we were moving out of ready for the new tenants by the 1st. After a week of not hearing anything from them I called to find out what was going on. I was told the flooring was in but we were waiting on the carpet and they said it was better to install the carpet first. We again mentioned our time limit and they assured us it wouldn't be a problem. They said they would check on the carpet and get back to us. They didn't. There were a couple times I called and left messages throughout the experience and didn't get calls back. We were eventually told they were waiting for the carpet from the factory. Finally around the third week of April we told them to start installing the hardwood floors despite still waiting on the carpet since we needed to get things rolling. They started installing the floors in the last week. The installers were nice and professional but showed up around 10am at the earliest. One day was more around noon and we were told they were instructed to measure another place first before coming to work on our floors. The carpets finally showed up on May 1st to be installed. We were already moved in but had everything, including our bed, in the living and dining room which was inconvenient and put us behind on working on our old place since we couldn't get our things out and into our new place in time. I love my floors and the carpet but I would not use or recommend Sid's carpet barn in the future. Oh, and when we complained about it we were told we would get a (very minimal) discount but I've yet to see any discount on what I owe and the floors are almost paid off.
Description of Work: We had hardwood flooring installed in the LR, DR, kitchen, & laundry room, and carpet installed in the bedrooms.

From our initial contact until the job was completed Sid's kept us in the loop. All the people from the salesman to the installers were very professional. They were very knowledgeable and answered our questions fully. Work was done in a timely manner, efficiently with a pleasant attitude. Another important trait was the neatness of the installers, which can be a challenge since we live in a condo complex
Description of Work: We decided to remove the carpeting in our bedrooms and put in laminate flooring to match the rest of our condo. We discovered that the company that engineered the original flooring was no longer in business. Peter was very helpful in ordering many samples for us to take home and try and match our original laminate. He also gave us excellent advice on the type of materials we could use for the sound barrier that was required by our HOA. The flooring was laid in two bedrooms and four closets. We were very pleased with the finished job.

They lost the carpet sale
Description of Work: Read all reviews and felt fairly confident in going to Sid's for our flooring needs. Spoke with Conrad over the phone regarding vinyl and carpet for a project we had and he seemed very knowledgeable and fair. We went in to look and met with Conrad and chose some samples and went to sit down to price. It was simple because everything we had chosen was "in stock", if we needed more not a problem. I was a tad nervous that my contractors sq. footage might be off so, and he was installing that himself so it was important to me that we didn't have to order more. I called Conrad when our contractor was ready to install the vinyl and gave him a day's notice and again he told me it was in stock no problem, when I came in it would be ready for me. Saturday rolled around and we went to pick it up, and everyone had that deer in the headlight look about them. One of the other salesmen that was trying to help me asked "did he say it was here at this store?" I was a little annoyed because I'm supposed to be the customer, I order, I pay and you get it for me! After 10-15 minutes the entire staff is looking for this stuff which turns out is not there or anywhere else in the city, but they have some in LA! A half an hour in my contractor calls to find out when I would be delivering because he and another guy were standing by ready to do the intall and then later put in the vanities. Having gone through all the samples in my price range and only finding one I was okay with (yet not really liking) I asked the store to make it right for me or I would have to pull the order and go elsewhere. The made it work by finding another darker vinyl which was twice as much as the one I chose for the same price. My worst fears were realized when at the end of the day my contractor phoned me and said he was short 5 feet less than ughgreater than I had to drive back to the store and get more, and guess what? I had to pay full price! I felt that it was Conrads mistake to begin with they should have sold the other 5 feet at the original price I paid. And Conrad? No appolgy no nuttin but "how'd that flooing work out Bottom line is if they didn't have what I wanted I would gone elsewhere, and he didn't want that to happen. I've been in customer service for years, I would have gone to the powers that be and asked that we cut them a break because of my screw up. But he didn't, he barely acknowled me. I was so angry that I delivered the flooring, came home and got on the computer and found another place. I told them what had happened and that I didnt want to spend much on the carpeting because it was to be sold. He said they had plenty of choices and tho he was leaving someone would show me where they were, and also pointed out there is a certain grade that must be met to comply with some lenders, and section 8's ? And tho Conrad told me they werea few cents cheaper than most places, they weren't. I never told this guy what I payed at Sid's, but his carpet bid was $1300.00 where Sid's was $2100.00, and a better grade. There was a woman at Sid's that tried her best to help me, I believe her name is Gisselle (not sure of the spelling) she was a bright spot in the entire situation. Had it not been for her they would have been rated worse. Also I have a problem when everyone in the buiding is speaking spanish infront of you! That is incredibly rude and unprofessional.

A totally satisfactory experience from order taking to delivery and install.
Description of Work: At the last minute before moving we decided to replace the worn carpeting in what was to be the workshop and including stairs. We figured it would be a super challenge to move the heavy work bench, desk and cabinets to replace at a later date. Sid's gave us a reasonable estimate for installation and confirmed the carpeting was in stock. The installers arrived when they said they would. The stairs were done well. When we very shortly learned that the transition from stair to carpet would lead to a rapid fraying of the carpet, we called about the problem. At no charge they came out and installed a transition strip. We are very pleased with the result and their very quick turnaround.

Carpet and tile install are a very invasive process if you're staying the home during the whole process. It's a dirty and noisy process. Everything has to be moved- as though you are moving out of the house. All the workers were friendly and professional and worked very hard. The tile took three days and the carpet took 1 (very long) day.
Description of Work: Sid's provided carpet install and coordination of tile install. Due to uneven/cracked areas in our old tile Sid's recommended one of their sub contractors (Wirtz Quality Installations, Inc.) come out and assess the problem and bid the job. They assured me they had a fix for the problem and did great work in laying the new tile. I was very grateful that Rik Goodman at Sid's suggested them. Sid's was probably not the cheapest but they were competitive and I really liked their selection. They also were willing to order tile from other tile wholesalers if I didn't find what I wanted in their store. Very flexible and accommodating and willing to answer all my questions. They were prompt in coming out for measuring and bidding. We had approximately 1900 feet combined of tile and carpet. They also loaned out floor samples to take home. They were also flexible in working around our scheduling the house to be painted prior to carpet install. I would recommend them and use them again.

Carpet measurer/estimator knew the 2nd floor was uneven (due to crappy work by K2 Contracting) and said it wouldn't be a problem for the installers to level prior to installation. Installers came and refused to install carpet due to significantly sloped floor. They knew we would not be happy with the outcome and explained it was too uneven to for them to fix. Carpet estimater claimed he had no idea it was sloped but it was so obvious that the installers saw it right away and I specifically remember explaining to him before he even pulled out his tape measure. $500 additional costs later (to pull up sub floor, shim, then float leveling agent) carpet was installed. Seams are crappy and not in the place the estimator said they would be. Instead they go right down the middle of the room but given the sub par workmanship available in San Diego, they get 'average' for installation.
Description of Work: Level 2nd level floor and install padding and carpet approx 500 sq ft + stairs and purchased wood for downstairs. Did not use them for wood floor installation but did use them for carpet install.
