Description of Work: We needed a wall to wall rug installed for our spare bedroom for a family member in a wheelchair who is staying with us and we chose a commercial grade indoor rug, which we needed installed on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. Three men showed up to cut and install the rug and they were 10 minutes early which is unheard of. They worked as a team and everything went quickly and very smoothly and the installation job was a quality job. We have received many comments on the rug and would not hesitate to recommend Mel Elfman's Rug Store in Waltham who may be in the market for quality product and quality installation.

Great!
Description of Work: Peter Richard made a meaningful effort to understand our needs, our desires, and how we use our space in order to make flooring recommendations that were best suited to our business. The team was courteous, efficient and incredibly respectful of our timeline, putting in long hours in order for the project to be completed with minimal disruption to our business. This was appreciated so much by me and our entire team. We are over a month past the installation and our entire team and clientele are absolutely loving the new flooring! It has completely changed the feel and energy of our space!

Description of Work: The service provider installed defective carpeting in December of last year and agreed to replace it. I have been waiting for them to reinstall a quality replacement but as their installer pointed out, a second defective carpet was delivered instead. After numerous unreturned phone calls, emails, requests for appointments and credit card disputes I am still awaiting a resolution to the problem. It's been almost a year and counting...

Response from Mal Elfman's Of Waltham Inc
Hi [Member Name Removed] I am appalled at how you have handled this situation. At the beginning, you chose not to come to the showroom to select carpet & select from a cellphone texted picture. Clearly, we should not have allowed you to select this way. You claimed the carpet the installers brought was not the color you expected. At that time, we offered to give you a full refund of your deposit or have you come to the showroom to select another option in person. You asked to have that carpet installed, which we agreed to, then later demanded a replacement claiming it was defective. We agreed to order you new carpet & install this because you were not happy with the carpet you chose to have us install on the original date. Yes, the factory shipped us defective carpet that time which is out of our control. At no time did we ask you to accept that defective carpet as the replacement. The factory shipped us a replacement which there was nothing wrong with, but you claim is defective again. You have disputed the charge with American Express claiming many different fabricated reasons for a refund. American Express has returned all your charges & you currently have a quality carpet installed in your home at no charge to you. It is unfortunate that you are not happy with the color, but we tried at every juncture to make this right by you despite your unreasonable & inconsistent decisions. I hope you can come to terms with your free carpet & not let this annoy you any longer. Please do not contact us for any future flooring needs you may have.

Description of Work: Laid carpet on stairs, and installed new rug in bedroom. We spent an hour in the store browsing rugs, and no one pressured us, which I appreciated. When we asked for help, Peter Richard spent another hour with us, and he proved to be pleasant, knowledgeable and totally straightforward. He guided us to the store's large inventory of remainders where we found what we needed at much lower cost. Installation the following week was quick and painless.

I first shopped another Waltham flooring company and received high prices, poorly calculated measurements with improper scrap allowances and mediocre advice. At Elfman's, I received excellent guidance in selecting the most durable vinyl flooring for my locations (fully adhered vs loose laid) as well as the best carpet (nylon vs acrylic) for my money. Fred Richard came to my house to measure. He was on time, courteous and professional. He measured and calculated how best to install each material with minimal waste. The installers arrived on time, too. The wrong carpet was delivered first, but a visit to the store straightened out everything easily and quickly. The preparation and installation in the second kitchen was especially well done. This is the 3rd project that Mal Elfman's has done for me and each time my experience is better.
Description of Work: Elfman's performed the floor prep and installation of a fully adhered, cushioned vinyl for two large kitchens and a hallway. They also installed wall-to-wall carpeting in a bedroom and two closets.

I worked with Fred Richard who was wonderful and came over the same day to measure the staircase. The carpet was ordered and installed within two weeks. The men who did the installation were great and did exactly what I asked for. The price was high, but it's likely that it's because of the quality of carpet and pattern that I chose. I would definitely use this company again.

Had a favorable meeting with Fred who walked us through some of the finer points of carpet. At our first meeting at the store, he was helpful in answering questions, providing estimated costs and, giving us a clear idea of schedule. The costs were a touch lower than other area stores and we appreciated the personalized service. They were accommodating in scheduling the installation. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: Installed 60 yards of carpet and padding in basement family room, stair, walk-in closet.

This started out a little rocky, but ended up well when all was said and done. We visited the store and spoke with a very helpful salesperson, but when we called back to speak to him to schedule measurements, he didn't return our messages. The following week, we spoke to another salesperson who agreed to come to our house about an hour later to do the measurements (after hours), but he forgot about us and no-showed. When we called back later that night, we found out that he'd forgotten, but a third salesman (Alan) agreed to come out, and he showed up shortly thereafter. From that point onward, it was an excellent experience. What sets Mal Elfman's apart, we think, is the very large selection of high-quality remnants, which saved us a great deal of money. We purchased the carpet on a Saturday, and they installed it the following Friday. Neat and tidy workers, who finished the job in about 3 hours.
Description of Work: Installed approximately 360 square feet of wall-to-wall carpeting.

I had old peel-and-stick tiles. Some subfloor was missing in panty where built-in cabinet had been removed. Hallway had old indoor-outdoor carpeting stapled to subfloor which was buckled and uneven. Danny advised me of the best way to install flooring - glued vs floated. Leveled out uneven areas where loose tiles were removed. Danny even took time to raise threshholds where possible and tucked flooring under them to give better finished effect. Expertly trimmed and installed around steam radiators without having to move them. Overall job was done with high level of expertise and relatively quickly. They came on time and left everything clean and neat.
Description of Work: Installed sheet flooring in kitchen, pantry, and hallway. Repaired subfloor as needed and leveled. Installed additional plywood subfloor in two areas. Removed loose tiles. Caulked around all edges to seal.
