I highly recommend A Plus. Their attention to detail and responsiveness to questions and follow-up is outstanding. Eric is the owner of the company, and he clearly sets the tone. He is committed to making sure the customer gets quality service. Keenan patiently and competently works with you to set up the design and materials. Franklin coordinates the installation. All 3 gentlemen are courteous, responsive and professional - everything you could ask for in a home improvement company.

They did an excellent job, we are extremely happy with everything. The product and the workmanship were excellent. They did what they said they would do and more. They brought samples over to the house so we could see how it looked. They went beyond expectations . I would definitely recommend them and use them again for other work in my home.

It is clear that the owner of this company (Mr. Eric Rome) is the heart and soul of A Plus carpet and flooring. Immediately after being made aware of my review, he personally contacted me and asked to come out and see what had happened. At that meeting, he addressed all of my concerns, specifically articulating the steps the company has made (and are making) to insure the details in my first review are not ever repeated. His attentiveness, passion, and desire to put the customer first renewed my faith in the company and gave me a substantial reason to update this review. I unequivocally believe that positive steps have been made in their QC process, and the company is a better one for it. I especially liked the desire to improve, and I have no doubt that every other customer will benefit from this event. Of particular note, I want to call out the professionalism of the workers who installed the carpet, as they did an exceptional job (and were the epitome of efficiency and professionalism). During the initial install, my wife and I wanted one level of carpet in the master bedroom, with another level of carpet in the other bedrooms. We were told that the carpet in the master bedroom was the better of the two carpets, even though it was obvious that the feel of the carpet was not as soft as the smaller bedrooms (the pad was the same). Additionally, it was quite obvious that the carpet was two different colors in the master bedroom when a seam was put together. That started a saga of how to have the carpet replaced. In addition to an inordinate amount of time to have the carpet inspected and then authorized for replacement (the two tone in the MBR) we were also told that the carpet in the master was still the better of the two carpets (hard to believe when you walked on both in comparison). However, when the carpet installers FINALLY came back to fix the companies mistake (almost two months later), I was told that the carpet that I had originally been emphatically told was the more expensive carpet was in fact a cheaper brand. This was after I had to take a second day off to insure the carpet could be replaced, so you could imagine how violated that felt. The sad part about this, is even after this fairly long debacle, I was not offered any compensation. To say the least, the QC for this company is a failure, and the customer support is pathetic. I will not ever use this company again, and I would urge any potential customers to be extremely wary of any dealings with this company.

The entire process from picking out carpet that was in my price point to getting it scheduled and installed went very well. We were very happy with the install with the exception of one very visible seam in the middle of the hallway. I called about this initially and spoke with Scott and was told that seams were part of getting a carpet installed but I just felt this one was way more visible than the others. I called back a couple weeks later and spoke with Scott again as I couldn't let it go. I sent a picture and email of the seam and someone called me back the next day to have someone come out and fix it. They came out today and fixed this seam. It looks great! Thank you so much!

We visited their showroom on Red Branch Road and were impressed with the courtesy and professionalism provided by a member of their staff named Keenan. We then set a date for Keenan to come to our house and do the measurements. Keenan arrived promptly on the established date and time, quickly took our measurements and within a couple of days we had our estimate. Once we paid our deposit, the carpeting was ordered and as soon as it arrived, the install date was set for the very next day. The installer was very professional and did an outstanding job. We would definitely use A Plus for our next flooring job.

The original work was amazing; however in the last year the vents they installed started falling apart. Each individual slat is glued so over time the heat makes the glue brittle and many of the vents are easily damaged if someone walks across a vent. Even a vent that is under a chair and is rarely touched cracked when the floors were being vacuumed. Considering they are drop in floor vents, we had vents breaking. I called A Plus and asked for replacement vents but they didn't have any in stock. I found a company online that made custom vents and had the vents delivered unfinished. Eric Rome the owner of A Plus cut and stained the vents to match the original flooring. They look great!
Description of Work: A plus installed all the hard wood flooring on the main floor of my home when we moved to MD 5 years ago. In addition, they put in hard wood steps and all the carpet on the second floor.

Steve, the manager, was very professional, friendly and helpful throughout the process, as was our saleman. Steve even gave me his cell phone number so I could reach him easily if necessary. There was no pressure to select them for the job, and they were easy to work with. They even gave us a discount for paying by check instead of credit card. The two men who came for the installation worked very hard for 2 straight days in late August. I don't know where their stamina came from to work 12-15 hour days! They had forgotten about the spray barrier, so I called our salesman, who suggested they use KILZ instead. They painted the original wood floors with KILZ, and we haven't detected any odor in the summer, when the heat would bring it out. They made a couple small mistakes with the quarter-round molding, and Steve sent them back out to fix these. During the winter, bubbles appeared on the floors upstairs. They ranged from a few inches in diameter to 8" in oblong length. I also discovered a tear behind the front leg of the couch. The flooring has a 10 year warranty. It's a bit soft so the weight of furniture makes indentations in the floor, as with carpet. That and the relative ease with which the vinyl tears are disappointing. Nonetheless, Steve ordered more of the vinyl and sent the same team out to replace about 5 sq feet in order to eliminate the tear under the couch and several smaller tears a few feet away, from dryer delivery. Oddly, the bubbles disappeared in the summer. We thought the glue job must have been lacking, but it appears the floors respond to dry vs humid weather, as we use very little A/C upstairs.End result?-I love the wood and stone look floors, and friends are impressed. The other pattern of little squiggles on beige looked good on the sample patch, but awful on the floors upstairs. I'm out of luck; it would be too expensive to remove the vinyl and the glue. I'm happy with this company because they have integrity; they take responsibility for anything that goes wrong and they fix it. Over 19 years in my own home, this was my first time being able to trust a home repair company outright.
Description of Work: Removed carpeting (some areas very stinky from pet pee we couldn't eliminate). Replaced with subfloor and vinyl glue-on flooring in long hallway, 2 bedrooms, living room and den (in Hampden Baltimore row-house). We agreed that an antibacterial barrier spray would be applied once the carpet was removed, so no residue of pee odor would remain.

If you are looking for a great price this is the place. Quality and service depends on the flooring team you get. The office staff was very responsive on the first job hired a year prior. The second round about a year later there was no quality check at the end and no one came out from the staff to inspect before the job began. As a customer this is frustrating because not knowing what to look for leaves you with improperly installed flooring a year later that are now evident. We are now dealing with some areas of poor installation areas in the kitchen that are outside the 1 year fix time period. Slow responses and a general break down in communication regarding scheduling etc. Also the crew ran out of flooring material, they were not very clean, and I found their take out food was found in various parts of the house as well as outside both installation years. I'm not saying we wouldn't rehire the company again but for the total amount we spent on the flooring through out the house ( about 25k) I had high expectations regarding communication and timeliness on completion of the job. They did a pretty good job overall but the first year was much better than the 2nd year- again partially because of the crew and 2nd because of the lack of supervision esp. on final inspection .

A plus did a great job. We had just had the house painted from top to bottom and they were very careful not to scuff the walls or molding. I was pleased with the installation and the way they returned the house to the condition it was when they started (put closet doors back on properly, etc.). We also had A Plus clean the carpets we did not replace. The cleaning was done on time and made the remaining carpets look nice.

My husband and I are preparing our condo for sale - we needed to replace the carpet in the bedrooms. I met with Keenan to get an estimate; he was punctual, pleasant and very helpful. The process of scheduling the install was also painless and quick. The installers were also very punctual and paid attention to detail. Our bedrooms look gorgeous. I know we are going to want to replace the carpet when we move into our new house (we are picky people) and I plan on using them. I highly recommend this company.

I was extremely impressed with the work the men did. They worked very hard and paid close attention to their work, transforming the floors to a beautiful finish. The floors were sanded and then a coating of polyurethane was put on the floors. The men came back the following day and completed the job by putting on an additional coat of polyurethane. I was impressed with how hard the men worked and how much they accomplished in such a short time. They knew what they were doing and did not waste time. Fabricio was in charge of the project and made sure I understood what the men would be doing. He and his men did an excellent job and I am so glad I had the work done by then. The carpet was installed by two men about a week later. Under the guidance of Jose, the men did an excellent job. They were incredibly professional and did their work accurately and quickly. I felt very lucky to have them do the work.
Description of Work: Salesman Ken Bonawitz came out to our home and gave us several options on what we could do. We wanted to replace the worn hall carpet. After listening to Ken, we decided to also have the living room and dining room wood floors sanded. A date was set for the men to come out and sand the floors. About a week late, the hallway carpet was installed.

I was preparing to sell my townhouse and Ken came to give me an estimate on the work to be done. The hardwood floor in the living room and dining area needed a cleanup and Ken recommended screening the floor which was a less costly alternative to a complete sanding. The carpet in the rest of the house needed both stretching and deep cleaning. The floors in the kitchen and master bathroom needed to be replaced. A Plus did a great job on everything!

Very well. The time from order to installation was very quick. (less than 2 weeks). I had ordered some new furniture, then decided to replace the carpet. They were able to complete the job before the furniture delivery. The estimated that the installation would be completed in one day, but it took two. That was still reasonable by my estimation.

I won't give them one star as they never did an install. But, as for the sales people, the two star rating is well deserved. Based on our research on Angie's List etc, we called the company and the salesman who answered reluctantly told us that he "might as well do it himself and come out to look at the job". Far from positive or, for that matter, interested. Okay, maybe he was having a bad day. The appointment time rolls around and another salesman arrives who clearly has no idea that we were expecting to see specific types of samples, which, of course, he did not have. After his walkthrough he tells us it will be several weeks before install can be scheduled, and invites us to come to the showroom to look at samples. Okay, nice enough guy but more time investment. Pricing for the entire job was discussed, seemed reasonable, so we forged on. In the showroom we picked our product and the job total was again quoted with a promise of a written quote in email to follow. We were stunned when the written quote came in at almost double the cost for the job. No warning, explanation, no apology, just that. Subsequent emails provided explanation and brought the price down to about 30% over the first quote by changing the way carpet would be laid. They were trying, at least. You did get the sense they were frustrated that the customer just didn't understand enough about carpet - we were trying to learn but, really, it's not that complicated as we are DIY people. Perhaps a high and low quote would help the customer better understand the company's process... Finally another company rep advised that they would look at getting the price lower. When we recontacted him to see if there had been any progress, no joy. Conclusions? This was a small job and we got the sense that they weren't excited to get our business. Okay. Best to just say that up front. They won't be getting our larger jobs or our referrals either. Surprised when they asked us to rate them - but here it is!

Response from A Plus Carpet & Flooring
A Plus Carpet holds its self to a high standard. Price is one way and very important in keeping those standards. Knowledge of materials and pride in installation are the other ways. Some people would rather have price be the focus over quality of even very affordable "new"carpets. I remember these folks very well. The price in their mind comes from a friend of theirs who use to work in flooring and provided multiple remnants to them very cheap some years ago. When asked to fill the same locations in their home with "new"remnants that will not work due to seams, textures, and patterns, we provided a quote with new carpet which we stand behind. There is no question we were higher in our quotes once the job was seen, measured, and laid out properly. We were run in circles trying to locate remnants from every manufacturer of ours to meet their expectations. Unable to do so, I called and emailed them to inform them I was still trying. No response. Unrealistic expectations will frequently turn into poor reviews when price is the only priority. We do quality work. We are not a hack shop.

See above. Very unresponsive on the sales side, hate to see what there response will be if something goes wrong.
Description of Work: We visited their show room, and filled out paper work to have a quote done. Ken called and we set an appointment for Friday at 4.pm Friday at 4pm we received a call that he is running late. Great, would have been nice to know before, but whatever, we had time set aside for the estimate. When he left, he told us, "it's Friday, so I won't have a quote to you till Tuesday. Tuesday comes, I called and left a message, no quote. Friday I call again, no answer, no quote. The following Monday, I got a call, and the quote came over. I reviewed the quote that afternoon and called back and left a message with some questions. Three days later I called back to find out what was going on, and all I got was attitude. Thanks but no thanks.

Response from A Plus Carpet & Flooring
This person is 100% wrong. We were running a few minutes to the appointment (about 10 minutes) and we did give a courtesy call to let him know. This person had no problem with us running a few minutes behind. We spent a good amount of time measuring and giving this man a great education on carpet products. Please keep in mind a large estimate with many details can take time to create. The weekend came and passed. First thing on Monday morning the estimate was created and sent to [Member name removed]. We called [Member name removed] and left him a message on Monday the 24, 2014 that his estimate was sent.. At this point all was fine. On Wednesday the 26th [Member name removed] called and wanted specific information on the products. We tried to help him and told him it will take a few hours to get him the requested info. [Member name removed] then became angry that we could not answer his questions about specific details on several products right away. He then accused us of taking 2 weeks to get him the estimate. This makes no sense because we only saw him a few days ago. We keep records on our computers of when emails are sent and received. [Member name removed] is 100% wrong in his statements. We give [Member name removed] a F rating for not telling the truth

Franklin came out an gave us an estimate. He was pleasant, personable, and knowledgeable about his products. He came back a second time once we selected A Plus to do the work to assist us with choosing colors and styles. On the day of installation, the installers were punctual and professional. They pleasantly moved all our furniture (at no extra cost) and completed the work in a timely fashion. The carpets look beautiful and we have had no problems.
Description of Work: Replaced carpeting in living room, master bedroom, 2 sets of approximately 15 steps each, 2 small hallways.

Scheduled appointment for an estimate for work on our hardwood floors. Due to car problems, our sales person had to reschedule our initial appointment and we were happy to accommodate. When he arrived to provide the estimate a week later, however, he seemed very disinterested in our job. We were told we needed to have the floors re-screened and refinished and he said he would get back to us with an estimate. I told my husband when he left that he seemed like he didn't even want the job and apparently I was correct as we've never heard from him or his company again. Perhaps the job wasn't big enough to be worth it to his company? We'll never know. But I would have appreciated some sort of follow up letting us know that. Would not recommend.
Description of Work: Came out and looked at our floors to provide an estimate for refinishing.

Response from A Plus Carpet & Flooring
We treat everyone with respect and do it with a smile on our face whether its a carpet cleaning, a stretching, small wood repair, or entire flooring replacement. It is unfortunate this person felt his job was too small for us. We feel blessed to have the opportunity to consider any job, big or small, because we are smart enough to know even the small jobs need to be taken care of. We are a no pressure carpet and flooring company. We do not take a pressure sales approach to get people to buy from us. With our prices and reputation, we don't have to. If there is ever a problem with a staff member, like seeming uninterested with a customers job, we deal with it accordingly, as long as we are informed there is an issue. We welcome criticism so we can improve. We responded immediately with several calls and messages with no response. When we visit someone we leave business cards and information packets filled with contact information. If there is a complaint about an employee we hope to learn of that information at that time. There is an entire office staff here from 7:30 a.m.- 5:00pm everyday. We prefer to resolve any issue directly with customers. Provided the information given in a timely manner.

Roger came to the house and showed me exactly what I was looking for. I did not want to look at 100 samples. Got me the best carpet for having a small dog and a good pad. We schedu When A Plus went scheduled the installation for the following Friday. The men we on time and efficient. Unfortunately, when they pulled the carpet and padding up the sub-wood flooring was covered in mold and urine stains. I had to get it replaced. They got a second crew out to the house at 7:30 am the next morning. Old ply-wood gone and new replaced. My new carpet is great. They use their own staff, no sub-contractors. I will definitely be calling them again. A very sincerely genuine local company. Thanks!
Description of Work: Replaced the sub-wood flooring on our second floor hallway and new padding and carpet. Cleaned the living room rug too.
