I've used Carpet Tyme in my past four homes for the last 25 years . 7 months ago I had called Alex. He came out and quoted me on flooring for three bedrooms. He was quick to get a deposit and in all reality pretty quick to install. I wasn't home during the install as I was working and I made payment via Zelle . After I got home I sent many pictures to Alex of poor craftsmanship . The flooring was not installed correctly. He promised he would come back. I've tried time and time again from calls to text messages. He's now gone to the point of not even responding. Needless to say I will never use this company again. He lost a long time client and someone that is a small business owner in town that is referred his company for 25 years read more

Alex started out wonderful, but since installation of our floor, he completely disappeared and left us with a floor that looks similar to an ocean. It started dimpling and rippling within months of installation. He sent out the installer to repair the floor with 2 boxes of flooring. Upon arrival, the installer confirmed that the entire floor needed to be replaced. Alex said he would file a claim with the flooring company and replace the floor. Since that conversation he has ghosted me. He will not return a phone call or text message. I have pleaded with him for help, but he ignores all calls and texts. We spent $20,000 on this floor and cannot get the courtesy of a phone call. Worse yet, when I arrived at the store to see if I could speak to Alex in person, I discovered the store is now by appointment only, scheduled by phone. Alex will not schedule an appointment with me. This has been a nightmare! read more

Alex and his crew were great, and he personally supervised them the whole install time. Professional, on time, clean, and helpful with the color selection, Alex went above and beyond and I am very pleased with the result! Thank you, Alex! read more

I just needed a small remnant to help with an issue I had in my downstairs bathroom and Frank just got me a piece at no charge. We took the time to talk carpeting vs. hardwood and our needs down the road for us, which I felt got a bonus on helping make a decision for what we are going to need and price. This store has been around for as long as I can remember (1970's for me) and I can see why. Do yourself a favor and just go in and talk to them and compare. Eric Opp read more

Alex Garcia is a terrific owner. We've used him for over 10 years now. He talks in an honest, straightforward way. He provided us multiple options and pricing based on our immediate and long term needs. read more

Alex and his team at Carpet Tyme could not have been more professional and accommodating. Alex help me chose the perfect carpet (which I did not even think I wanted). He was right, the result is a beautiful, high quality, at a great price carpet. Highly recommend. read more

I originally had some beautiful carpet installed about three years ago on the second floor of my house in Agoura Hills. Alex and his crew were great to work with and they did a wonderful job. We received many compliments on the carpet. Flash forward three years and we now are selling our house after 35 years. Since the install three years ago the carpet has held up well other than a couple wrinkles in the hall and one of the bedrooms, nothing major but noticeable. I called Alex to hire him to "tighten" it up. Not only did Alex remember me and our house, but he also said he would send a couple guys out to take care of it. A man of his word, we had the carpet tightened up today and it looks as good as the first day it was installed! And Alex didn't charge us a cent! In this day and age it is really nice to do business with a man who knows the value of good customer relations and also takes pride in the quality of his business! I would highly recommend Carpet Tyme to anyone looking for flooring in their home. Thank you and your crew again very much Alex! read more

Alex at Carpet Tyme was so kind and helpful. We had them cut and bind some rugs for us and they did a perfect job! I cannot recommend them enough read more

Alex was so great to work with @ Carpet Tyme! I got the exact carpet I saw elsewhere for a MUCH better price. He was always so easy to communicate with, got the carpet ordered quickly and installed soon after. The installers were fabulous! Very careful of everything in the house, moved furniture and were so friendly and respectful! We have used Carpet Tyme many times over the years for different projects and couldn't be happier again! read more

I requested a bid for re-flooring a small condo and Alex at Abbey Carpet (Carpet-Tyme) would not provide his room measurements, total unit area calculations or break down his material and installation costs on a per square foot basis... His bid was akin to a restaurant having filet mignon on its menu, quoting a price of $22.99 and refusing to tell you how big the steak is... I makes a huge difference if the filet is 4 ounces versus 12! Alas, since I have no basis for understanding their pricing, I will never know if they do quality work. read more

Alex Garcia did me a solid in cutting down (resizing) a beautiful area rug to properly fit in my mom's entryway with a color matched border finish that looks clean and tailored. He went above and beyond to assist me for this custom request and will most definitely recommend his great customer service to others. read more

BEWARE NEW OWNER! To ANYONE looking to install new flooring in your home or office, I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT USE CARPETYME. They did a terrible installation (Literally feels like metal under foot and stairs are already coming up) The NEW OWNER ALEX GARCIA agreed to replace or fix the issues and then evaded my phone calls & texts. (YOU CAN'T EVER GET ALEX ON THE PHONE - SEE OTHER REVIEWS) On top of this, he charged my credit card without my authorization for the final payment, and the job is still incomplete (months later). I write this to help save any other poor sucker who chooses to use Carpet Tyme. It's such a shame as they have been a fixture on Thousand Oaks Boulevard for over 40 years- the new owner Alex Garcia has dredged mud all over what was a wonderful, family-operated business. Be forewarned!!! read more

My Aunt Lois Guenther asked me to write a review- Her experience with this company was outstanding!! Alex Garcia was an amazing person to work with- I highly recommend this company for any of your carpet needs!! read more

So I have been using Carpet-Tyme in Thousand Oaks for years. If I wanted an area rug made or new carpet installation or even just a simple carpet bought at Lowe's for a bathroom that was too long and needed cutting with new binding. They did it! Alex Garcia has gone above and beyond with helping me out. Never ridiculous prices. Sometimes never even charging me for a quick simple job having it done the next day. I can't recommend them enough. Yes there are many places that could be recommended in Ventura or Oxnard but trust me I've done my homework shopped around and Carpet-Tyme from day one until this very day has always come out with a much better price and that's without me even asking them to price match they are hands-down a better carpet company quality work professional guys. I'm writing this because they do have a new address. And I just want to let anyone who thought they had closed, they have not they are just in a new store front maybe 40 yards away from their old store. Thank you Alex and Carpet-Tyme just wanted to give you all a shout out how awesome you have always been. read more

My family did business with them for 20 years. No more. We asked about new flooring quote. They couldn't come for a week. On the day, they called 45 minutes before the appointment- couldn't make it due to "flooring emergency" (???). Really? "First date" and you stand me up? Wanted to come in the evening that day. Guy made excuses why they couldn't lay the wood flooring nicely around the corner in the hall but would have to lay it "ladder like". Left without giving me a written quote. Never sent a quote. Even when I called a week later to ask when I'd get it, they just said, "We'll get back to you". They still have not, three weeks later. Oh, and another company handed me the quote when they came, had no problem turning the corner with the wood and avoiding the "ladder look". Along with other incidents with Carpet Tyme, neither I nor the rest of the family will be back (Six homes going elsewhere, gents! ) We try to support local businesses rather than go to big-box stores, but these guys make it impossible to keep them in business. read more

In 2005 we purchased carpeting for all of our bedrooms in Westlake, CA. After the carpeting installation crew left our home, I could not find my cell phone. I thought I had lost it in all of the moving of furniture. After looking all weekend, I called Sprint and asked if there had been any activity. To my surprise, within 5 minutes of the crew leaving the house, the activity began and had not stopped. I called the Thousand Oaks Police and a Detective came out. I gave him the records showing the usage immediately after they left. At first I felt sorry for the owner, as we cannot always control the employees that work for us. The crew was not an outside crew but a crew that worked for Carpet-Tyme. The detective went to speak with the owner but the detective told me that the owner was not helpful, obstructive, and was incredibly rude, even to the detective. It is on file at Thousand Oaks PD. read more

They treated me great. Friendly environment and solved my issue very efficiently and quickly. Will go back again.

Horrible installation!!!! Bad seams, metal under foot and carpet coming up on stairs from day one!! To ANYONE looking to install new flooring in your home or office, I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT USE CARPETYME. They did a terrible installation and you can never get a hold of anyone. The owner Alex Garcia promised to fix or replace the carpet they horribly installed, but he gave me the run around and evaded my calls. On top of this, he charged my credit card without my authorization for the final payment, and the job is still incomplete (months later). I write this to help save others the stress and money for a horrible job! It is such a shame as they have been a fixture on Thousand Oaks Boulevard for over 40 years - the new owner Alex has dredged mud all over what was a wonderful, family-operated business. Be forewarned!!!! Go to Flooring 101. They are very helpful and you can get a hold of them. I made the wrong choice. Don't make the same mistake. read more

I'm thrilled with the carpeting recently installed in my condo. Alex made it a smooth process from start to finish. I will be definitely be recommending Carpet Tyme to friends and family. read more

Allen came to my house on Benson Way for an estimate and never came back or returned my calls. Very disappointed in him. Will never recommend or use him! read more

My son and I went in to look at carpet for his play room. Alex was beyond helpful and kind to us. He took time to discuss quality with my son and price with me. My son loves what we got and we will definitely be return customers. read more

Alex was very very accommodating. Made great suggestion for what I should use. Very professional and nice.

Carpet looks great. Installers were very efficient. No marked walls or baseboards and all cleaned up afterward. Really happy with the whole transaction. read more

I just had three rooms carpeted with Alex and the team at Carpet Tyme. We're so happy with the results. The master and closet were quite large and we chose a pattern Alex showed us. We love it installed. We also did two kids rooms and they just had a great selection to choose from. The installer, Luis, and his son were so professional and detail-oriented. There wasn't a single thing I had to point out. It was all just perfectly laid and practically seamless. They used a nice padding, hauled away all the garbage and even called the next day to see how we liked it! I will go to them in the future. read more

It's a rare thing for a merchant to actually listen to what you need and why and then adjust their usual routine to fit your specific situation. Often folks are too busy trying to sell you on something to even really listen at all. Today, I had the refreshing experience of getting just what I needed, quickly and efficiently, at a price that could not be beat -- at Carpet Tyme. Thank you! I will be back again soon when I need a bigger carpet solution, primarily because you were so responsive to my small situation! Everything worked out perfectly! So nice to see a business that has been in TO for forever still providing individual customer service. Many thanks!!! Janet L. read more

Before you buy from here, get a quote in writing! My fiancé went here and she was told "don't worry about it" when she asked if there was an extra charge to install carpet on stairs. To me, that means there won't be a charge, wrong, it's over a hundred dollars. Then, the salesman started throwing multiple numbers at us, trying to confuse us on prices. Being in sales, I have seen this confusion tactic before and wouldn't fall for it, so I asked him to write everything down, the prices changed for a 3rd time. At this point we walked out, I turned around and found them laughing until they saw me looking at them. In other words, I would strongly recommend going somewhere else! I would not trust them on verbal price quotes , quality, or anything for that matter!! read more

We had an awesome experience at Carpet Tyme! The whole team from the sales people to the installers were courteous and knowledgeable. They even went out of their way to schedule the installation the day after the carpet arrived so we would have it when guests arrived. There is no question we'll be repeat customers! read more

Recarpeting the hallway and some of the bedrooms in my parent's house was a big challenge because this was a former hoarder's house. When the installers pulled up the old carpets, there was 50 years' worth of dust flying around. The guys just took it in stride; they wore dust masks but no comments or dirty looks at the state of the house. This alone would have earned them my gratitude, but they also helped me out when they didn't need to. In most cases, they would just shove furniture around from one side of the room to another while they do the install (and a lot of carpet people don't move furniture at all). Since I wanted to get ALL of the old furniture out of the room and into the garage where I could Craigslist it, the installers were kind enough to move the furniture and a dozen heavy boxes of books into the garage for me. No extra charge, no grumbling, just kindness. Carpet Tyme's prices were the best in town (and I went to 7-8 different stores doing comparison shopping). I admit that I was a little rude to the estimator at first because I thought he was trying to charge me for more carpeting than I needed. He patiently explained why they needed the extra yardage in a professional manner. I was the one who was wrong. I'd definitely use them again. read more

Excellent products & great service. Very friendly and helpful. Alex the owner is very service oriented. Love the selection.

Alex and everyone at Carpet Tyme are amazing!! Let me bring home samples to ponder over and even helped me find a cheaper priced version of what I originally picked!! Who does that?! We LOVE our new flooring and carpet! The guys worked their butts off in this awful heat and never complained. Highly recommend Alex and his crew!! Will never go anywhere else!! Thank you Carpet Tyme!!! read more

I am a Thousand Oaks resident and have been purchasing my carpet from them for years. Sometimes I am not sure why. You are correct, the personnel can be rude and act as if you are bothering them. You would think with the economy being so poor they would fall all over themselves trying to be helpful and accommodating. The thing that annoys me the most is that when they say they will call you back with some information that is necessary...they never do! I am about ready to go elsewhere even though I love to give local merchants my business and have for over 33 years. read more

We have used Carpet Tyme in Thousand Oaks for all my flooring needs since 2003. I love those guys and ??? the negative reviews. They worked patiently with us and answered all our questions. They also helped the decorator we hired and she was impressed them. We always have a hard time choosing what we want and have been in the store a dozen times and we always treated fairly. We also had home visits from them with samples and the house is beautiful. We now need to change out the carpet in 2 rooms and I"ll use carpet Tyme. Their installation guys are also the best. read more

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Carpet Tyme for many years. Alex is a very professional ,honest and helpful.
