I have lived in Litchfield, CT since 1999. I was new in town, a transplanted New Yorker. I had…read morebought a circa 1988 house, and tragically, the really lovely eggplant-colored (Brazilian purple heartwood) floors were stained black! I asked around for a great floor refinishing company and for installation of new floors (where there had been wall-to-wall carpeting). Bill Deering's name came up repeatedly. Having owned & managed income producing real estate in NYC, I knew what to look for & what I wanted to hear. The most important thing is: Does the company leave whorl marks on the floors, especially around the perimeter of a room? With Deering's reputation, I never even bothered to get competitive bids, unheard of for this former Doubting-Thomas New Yorker. My motto was-- Never trust, always doubt! But in this case, hiring Deering Floors was one of theee best things I did. Deering did superb work. I had very precious floors-- made of wood that is usually used only as a decorative inlay. I could tell Deering had major integrity. He really cared how a job was executed & how the floors lived & breathed after he had worked on them. While I was still sort of "bi-coastal"- still shuttling back and forth between NYC & Litchfield- I had left my upstairs windows open for ventilation (albeit with window screens) & I came home one night from NYC to a veritable swimming pool upstairs where the rain had been blown in by the wind. I phoned Deering in a panic as I was fearful of cupping. Bill's reaction was an audible wincing! It was great that he cared. Turned out he'd done such a superb job that nothing went wrong. The other little anecdote I have to add is that when I needed to have floors installed where there had been none, he offered to let me come to his house and see his own floors which had the floors I was considering. To me, this was service above and beyond! A great guy who does truly, truly superb work!

"Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister Gimme three…read moresteps towards the door?" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) After we had our hardwood floors and steps sanded and refinished, we decided to pretty up those steps with a carpet runner, which explains why we visited Galaxy Discount Carpet Store today. That decision ended up being a FIVE STAR experience. Their two floor showroom is just incredible! Sample boards, rolls stacked on the floor in rows, area rugs hanging from the ceiling, gorgeous stuff everywhere. We met with Charlie and explained to him what we were looking for. He said that staircase runners can either be pre-manufactured in big rolls, or custom cut from carpeting meant for rooms. We knew we wanted a runner in some shade of gray to complement our wall color, and decided on a carpet runner to be cut from a big grayish roll and then finished with black binding along the edges, to complement the black stair rail and contrast with the white stair risers. It was installed 72 hours later, and that was pretty amazing in it's own right. Communication with Galaxy was great. Charlie was a dream to work with, the installers called us the day before install to confirm the date and time window, and the van with two workers arrived as scheduled mid-afternoon and did a neat professional job on the install. Charlie's price was $140 less than one we had from a flooring company out in our neck of the woods, and the carpet quality was better at Galaxy. Everything went well, and the stairs look great!

I am attaching photos. I was excited when a man about 70ish came to do the initial measurements. I had no doubt he was a master craftsman and was thrilled. But the template was made by, I think his son. He aslo did the install. His sister called the night before he was supposed to be installing, that he was sick so it was installed a day later than agreed upon which messed up a plumber. I inspected the job before I cut the check. Only because I mentioned these problems did he confess to them. He would have left without pointing them out. I paid the full price which makes me incredibly gullible. You can see the gap of over an inch from the granite to the west side wall. You can also see where they cut into a wooden chair rail too far on the edge of the eastern side. The heartbreaker was that the puppy didn't match the grain on the two opposing ends. The center piece (sink) was laid east to west but the two side counters were cut north to south. I expected the grain to be in one direction as we bought a huge slab. The edge of the east block to the north/south block isn't flush. It was a poor job that I waited for since August (July if you count our going to the stoneyard in Windsor). I've wanted a granite countertop my whole adult life and was in tears after they left because it cost a fortune and wasn't done well. It was a poor job that cost a fortune and took months. I CANNOT RECOMMEND as the son is more an apprentice who should learn more from his elder/master before being given his own install.

I don't use price as my final determination. I also checked his reviews and they were all excellent. Shane came over my house to give me an estimate and show me some carpet samples. He was very professional and polite. I chose my carpet, put down a deposit and Shane told me when he expected the carpet to come in. He did advise me that there might be a delay due to supply chain issues. While waiting for the carpet, Shane was easy to get a hold of and he was very communicative. The carpet came in when he thought it would and we scheduled the install. When Shane arrived to install the carpet he was very careful and meticulous. He put down clean gripping drop cloths wherever it was necessary while he worked. He made sure that his tools and carpet weren't in the way of foot traffic. Shane is a hard worker and you can see the pride he takes in his work. He completely moved our bedroom furniture, removed the old carpet and pad and installed the new carpet, and replaced our bedroom furniture, in one bedroom, in one day. He not only installed the new carpet but he fixed a squeak we had in the floors of both bedrooms. Shane made sure we were happy with the furniture placement and was very careful moving it. The next day, Shane removed the furniture, removed the old carpet, installed the new carpet and replaced the furniture in our smaller bedroom/office, in a half a day. The products Shane uses are top of the line, unlike Home Depot and he goes above and beyond when installing the carpet. Shane is professional and trustworthy and does incredible work, you won't be disappointed.
