They met their stated delivery times, were candid about what they could and could not do, handled the rug carefully and returned it to use in good condition and much refreshed. Very nice gentleman.
Description of Work: Cleaned a hand-woven rug after flood damage.

The quality of both carpets is excellent and they have a good selection of carpets to choose from. Were good at problem solving. Used an excellent padding and the installation couldn't have been better. They look and feel great. We had a very helpful person provide some guidance when we were choosing the carpet and the whole experience was excellent.
Description of Work: We had a carpet stair runner put in 2 brownstones that we own. One was wool and other was high-quality acrylic.

, so
Description of Work: To be fair, the installation of the carpeting went smoothly (3 large rooms and 2 flights of stairs) However last year our housekeeper noticed that the carpeting in ALL rooms was "rolling and waving" . I assumed it was from the change in humidity. Now a year later the "waves" are worse - higher and over a dozen running diagonally across the carpet. The waves are between one and two inches high. The carpets have NEVER been washed, so this damage is not from water. Plus, each room had a carpet from a different manufacturer so it could not be a "defective" lot. While I don't expect carpet to last forever, the carpet itself is clean and in perfect condition, other than it does not lay flat upon the padding. Obviously the carpet was installed improperly and not stretched adequately. I am NOT going back to "Better Carpet Warehouse" to complain and argue with the Manager. There may be new management today, however I found the Manager abrupt and rude when choosing our carpet colors and patters. Instead, I am using a company for "Carpet Resizing" given an "A" rating in "Angies List". While this company has an "A' raring here, there are other reviews from other reviewers that are not kind. Also, the company has two different address (with the same phone number) when you look them up.

Description of Work: The carpet was professionally cleaned. The frayed edges were cut and rebound. There was one area that was torn badly and they were able to repair it. I was very satisfied with the job and would not hesitate to recommend them. Marie S. Brooklyn, NY.

They were helpful, and responsive. The work and delivery were on time. We found a flaw in one and they promptly replaced. These people are wonderful, honest and very customer focused.

On Nov. 12th, they picked up an oriental rug to be fixed. It was in very bad shape. It came yesterday and I can't believe the job they did! It looks like a brand new rug. They helped me move some furniture to put it down.

Description of Work: We had removed carpet from a flight of stairs in order to widen it. I just needed the carpet replaced with new backing and tack strips. The first company I called was not interested in working with old carpet. Better Carpet Warehouse sent a representative to the house to make sure the carpet could withstand the reinstallation and then I got the estimate. It was very reasonable. The workmen were professional and pleasant.

I visited the store twice, and they were always helpful and had a large selection. I have unusual color walls and wasn't sure of the best color, so they let me take a whole sample book home which helped tremendously. It took about two weeks from the time I ordered until the time it was installed. The installers were prompt and did good work. Before this, I hadn't bought a carpet in a couple of decades, so I have nothing to compare this to, but I was and am very happy with the results.

Great experience-- I walked into their store on Atlantic avenue, no appointment. Wayne, the proprietor, was on-site and assisted me personally. They had a preposterous variety of products to choose from, from fancy wool varieties to blends to synthetics. I told Wayne what I wanted and what I was looking to spend; he showed me a product that was a perfect match for my needs. He dispatched a senior employee to measure my bedrooms; Wayne quoted me his price over the phone, and I agreed; he gave me his first available appointment, his guys showed up on time, and they did a flawless job. Didn't even take long.

Very good service overall! They were less than half the price of other major players in NYC ($10 per cut and $2 per linear foot to bind), and pick up and delivery was reasonable ($50). Their pick-up and delivery windows were only 1 hour long, and they showed up when I expected them to. The day after pickup they called me with the exact cost, saying that they would not proceed until they heard from me. The rugs were delivered quickly -- only one week after they picked it up. I gave a diagram to show how to cut the carpet, since the Bedroom was an odd shape. They cut this EXACTLY how I asked, and sold me a felt rug pad that was cut to the perfect size. The leftover part of the carpet I had made into a runner and a small rug.Even though I did not ask for a rug pad for these pieces, they included appropriately sized padding (not felt, but what I think of as non-skid shelf liner).
Description of Work: Cut large wool carpet (12' x 13') into three smaller rugs (one L-shaped to fit bedroom, a 2' x 13' runner and a 4' x 5' remnant), bound all rugs and provided appropriately sized rug pads for each. Picked up and delivered.
