Had carpet installed in our family room, which is about 22x10 feet. The installers ran the seam across the room instead of along the side like the estimator said they would, though it's not very noticeable. The carpet was cut unevenly along the side and too short in places so it barely reaches the molding, with a few gaps showing. The carpet had glue on the underside and when I pulled up the edge of the carpet it stuck to the floor and broke the edge of the seam that runs across the room. Very disappointed with what should have been a very simple and straight forward installation, especially at the prices carpet installers charge.

I recently used Clawes Carpet at this location because of their superior ratings. I recarpeted the stairs in my home and had them make a custom sized area rug for my living room. All store employees were very helpful with suggestions and allowing me to take samples home. Their estimates on delivery times were accurate and they had excellent communication with me throughout the ordering and installation process. The installers arrived promptly and were very respectful of my property. The New York style stair installation was very nicely done. The installers moved heavy furniture and replaced it once the carpet and pad had been laid. Their attention to detail was impressive. I also really appreciated that they cleaned up every trace of dust and loose carpet fiber. I will use Clawes at this location when we recarpet upstairs bedrooms in the near future.
