    Carpet upstairs bedroom

    Best carpet company I have used. I highly recommend Fred Thayer for carpet and installation.

    Wow! Super fast and efficient! He gave a quote and installed the carpet less than 2 days after I first contacted him. Price was reasonable and work looks good too. Would definitely recommend!

    Who answers the phone anymore? Fred does. Who is willing to meet with you to give an estimate after normal business hours? Fred will. His quick response time and flexibility to fit us in on such short notice is worthy of five stars alone. Fred also didn't try to up-sell us, which I appreciated. I was completely prepared for him to tell us that in addition to tearing out the old carpet, we should replace the padding as well. Fred did not. He delivered exactly what we wanted, quick, efficient and professional. We'll be keeping his contact info handy!

    I had a great experience working with Fred and his crew. Fred took measurements promptly, helped me to order my desired carpet, offered lots of advice via email and text on the correct dimensions, and even picked up the carpet delivery from the truck warehouse since it was huge. His crew did a wonderful job installing the carpet runners on two sets of stairs. They arrived on time, gave good advice on the best type of binding and cleaned up super thoroughly after they were done. I highly recommend working with them!

    Fred made this the best experience ever as far as flooring in an empty apt.unit that needed replacing. Prompt response & amazing work. Soooo pleases with this company. I love to use local business owners when upgrading or replacing anything in SF This was a win -win with Fred's Company Especially because I didn't want to travel from Sacramento where I live to SF at the time.Fred made this a painless install. I totally recommend Fred's Co. & will no longer use any other Co. for any flooring needs

    If you're looking for a flawless, stress-free hardwood flooring upgrade, Tom's Hardwood Floors is…read morethe only company you need to call. We replaced 20-year-old carpet throughout our entire home with beautiful engineered hardwood--and the result is nothing short of stunning. - David, our project manager, was responsive and guided us every step--scheduling a site walk immediately, explaining the process clearly, and connecting us with their flooring gallery for expert, no-pressure guidance. - Johnny, the on-site lead, was communicative, accommodating, respectful, and always available. His hands-on leadership kept everything on track and on time. - The install crew was punctual, clean, skilled, and completed our entire home in just two weeks--without cutting corners. Transitions, baseboards, and fine details were flawless. - No surprises, no hidden fees--just honest, fair pricing and clear communication. They stood by their word, every step of the way. Our home now looks brand new. We've worked with many contractors, but Tom's Hardwood Floors sets the gold standard--not just for quality, but for the values of a true family business. Do not look anywhere else. If you want excellence, integrity, and a team that treats your home like their own, Tom's Hardwood Floors is the way.

    Tom's did the floors in my unit a few weeks ago. Here are my thoughts:…read more Pros: - Communication: Generally very prompt communication. I wish I got more updates during construction but they sent them whenever I asked. I liked that they were very contentious about talking with my neighbor when their van was blocking a little bit of their driveway--a lot of contractors wouldn't bother. I also had another neighbor who was causing some issues and they kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. - Price: I talked to several contractors and their price was pretty reasonable--not the lowest nor the highest, more in the middle. Cons: - After construction, I noticed some damage on parts that were supposed to be protected. They were minor damages, but annoying. The most noticeable one was a dent on my TV, which left a white dot that I see every time I turn on my TV, which sucks. - In terms of details, I noticed that there were some dings in pretty noticeable parts of the wood. I don't know if it was the crew or the wood came like that, but when I was testing a wood sample before purchasing, I hit the wood with a hammer and it didn't leave a mark, so it would take a lot of force to leave a dent like the one pictured. Kinda disappointing because the dent is smack in the middle of a high traffic area. Some last notes: - David came by to do a final walk through and helped me move some of the heavier furniture back. It didn't bother me but if you're expecting furniture to be put back the way it was originally, you'll want to manage your expectations. - You should definitely hire painters and cleaners after the construction--I didn't think the walls were going to be as scuffed up as they were. And everything will be superrrr dusty, even if it's covered. - When I expressed concern about not all baseboards being replaced, which I thought was the scope of work, he explained that he told his crew to use existing baseboards when possible. He said he did this to save me some cost and offered me $150 to cover the savings. I generally feel positive about this, although if I hadn't mentioned it I don't think it would've come up, so take that for what it's worth.

Our sales rep, TJ, was helpful and informative in the showroom, and was patient with all our questions and multiple rounds of checking out samples until we made a decision on what we wanted. Eduardo and his team did the demo & installation in just two days. They were on time and did a great job, paying attention to all the details. We spent more than we had hoped, but it was well worth it. I would definitely recommend The Floor Store on Geary.

The store is unexpectedly massive with many great engineered hardwood flooring options. I arrived at the store in a mild crisis state as I was unhappy with the vinyl flooring selections our interior designer has recently picked out for the renovation of our house built during the Edwardian period. She picked this out because vinyl was "cost-friendly," but I quickly found out many great engineered hardwood sections that were cheaper and nicer looking than vinyl with TJ's help. TJ was chill, nice, and talked to my fiancé and me for two hours, educating us on engineered hardwood flooring and helping us pick out almost 4,000 sq ft of 4 different types of flooring for four different units to help us maintain the original beauty of the Edwardian building and stay under budget. We ended up saving over $10K switching from vinyl to engineered hardwood by purchasing from The Floor Store!
