Mal Elfman's of Waltham - Love our new stair carpet installed my Mal Elfmans. - Flooring Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

Great service from Paul Jackson, helped us pick out the perfect carpets, always got back to us when leaving a message. The carpet installation went smoothly, the quality of their work is excellent, all was clean when they were done. I very highly recommend Mal Elfmans!!!! read more

Dave Ryan is the best. He brought samples to our house and was very helpful in making suggestions on what carpeting would work best. His prices are reasonable and he has a great crew of installers. Mal Elfman Carpeting is a choice that I have made two separate times and both times it was the right choice. read more

These people are the best! Paul Jackson is a consumate gentleman who works to come up with creative solutions. The in-store service could not have been better. Abraham, who led the installation crew is a gem. He and his crew worked expertly, quickly and with considerable skill, making our house look totally refreshed. It is very rare these days to find a store that is reasonably priced and totally focused on meeting the customer's requirements. We are very glad we found them. read more

Fantastic place with a great in-stock collection as well as countless other choices. Paul Jackson, our salesman, made the experience easy. We started out at a big box store thinking that was all we could afford, but we ended up with fantastic wool carpet for our stairs and living room at a comparable price. The service was fast and thorough. read more

Had a great experience from start to finish. Paul was super helpful. He understood what I was looking for and guided me towards a carpet that was just right for our playroom. Installation team was great too. read more

We used Mal Elfman to redo the floor in our lower level family room. They removed the existing carpet and installed manufactured wood on the floor and put new carpet on the stairs. Paul Jackson was very helpful to us in deciding what flooring to use. He kept us informed about expected delivery and installation dates. These were delayed due to COVID limited product availability. The installation was done very well for both the flooring and carpet. I would highly recommend Mal Elfman Flooring read more

Paul and his colleagues were super helpful and creative in helping us to resize a damaged rug. We couldn't be happier with the service or the final product. read more

Just had such an easy and affordable experience getting new carpeting from here! My mom and I stopped in on a whim as we were in the beginning stages of carpet shopping. We were immediately greeted by one of the sales associates Paul, who chatted with us for a bit before showing us some samples. He was quick to adjust what he showed us based on what we said we liked and didn't like. He was attentive and knowledgeable. So much so that we decided to order carpeting right there on the spot! We could've kept looking other places, but the price was right and the service was unparalleled. From there, everything continued to be 5 star worthy. The guys who came and installed the carpets were friendly, quick, and careful with all of our furniture. Paul even called while they were still installing to check in and see how it was going. The whole experience felt so personalized. Highly recommend!! read more

Carpets, rugs, flooring. Extremely helpful customer service. Huge selection and quick turnaround. Area rugs, customer carpeting, custom shapes and sizes. Great pricing. read more

Seamless experience-- truly appreciated everything about selecting, purchasing, and having the carpet installed.

Dude tried to change a price on a remnant and then give me a per sf invoice. Lots of carpets marked down but huge risk of film-flam so be prepared to walk in and walk out with what you see or take pix of tags and get a write-up while you're there bc it'll suddenly be a different price if you like it. read more

I have used Mal Elfmans several times over the years for various projects. They always deliver the best pricing and service. Their sales team is knowledgeable on all types of flooring. The install team is courteous, efficient, and respectful of the property. I will be using them for all future flooring needs. read more

Nor much to look at from the outside, and not a wide range of selection. But... this is THE place for high quality and CHEAP furniture, mattresses, and rugs. I've purchased a dining room table and chairs set and some matress set here, and I could not have been more pleased with the sales and delivery or the durability of the items. The big difference between here and the big stores is that they probably have less than 10 varieties of whatever item it is you want. And you know what? That actually makes it way easier to shop, particularly when all ten are well made and bargain priced. read more

We worked with Paul to plan an expedited carpet install as we prepared our house to sell. He and his team jumped into action, were so easy to work with, and the project turned out beautifully. Everyone followed very safe quarantine protocol whenever they entered our home, for which we were also grateful. read more

Absolutely love my new runner. Colors work perfectly with the rest of my decor. Quality is excellent. Browsed the showroom and then made purchase over phone. Dave was extremely helpful and responsive. Paul was great. Came out to measure on his way to cape vacation to keep to my timeframe and Abraham and team did a great job installing. Answered all my concerns and a few weeks later I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this business! read more

I sent this company a message saying I didn't like seeing bumper stickers on one of their vans promoting gun ownership, and referring to our President as a Marxist and a Communist. I then said I wouldn't use them for my services in the future should I need any carpeting or flooring. This is the response from them that I received: "Hi Michael, Thank you for bring this to our attention. We have many company vehicles on the road, so this has gone unnoticed. We don't believe we should have any bumper stickers promoting anything beyond our company on our vehicles & we will have them removed. I am sorry to hear you will not be a potential future customer, but I am relieved we will not have to deal with you as your "progressive", socialist personality will probably expect hard working, tax paying Americans to pay the bill for your flooring anyway." Wonderful, masterful customer service right there. Also, way to say you won't promote anything beyond your services, and then completely contradict yourself by promoting right-wing, Fox News propaganda. Choose these guys at your own risk, fellow Yelpers. read more

Mal Elfmans sits betwixt the bars and restaurants of Moody Street, and is a hidden little gem for rugs galore and select furniture. Awesome prices and a good carpet selection at a place that you would never think to even look (unless you live right there or are reading this review). My last trip there, I left with THREE 9x12 rugs and one matching runner (maybe 3x15 or so?) for 500 bucks. Delivered. Bam. read more

If you need carpet or area rugs GO THERE! They have a decent selection of bound remnants at excellent prices (great value on bound wool carpet) and if they don't have the size you want, they'll cut down a larger one and have it bound in a week (costs a little more, but you get the exact size you need). An old review said they didn't have much selection (wrong!). Go downstairs! Huge selection of carpeting and flooring. If you can't find something you like then I don't know what to tell you. Another review said not much to look at from the outside (agreed), but don't let that stop you from going in (and going downstairs!!) Based on my experience (two visits), I'll definitely be back and would definitely recommend. read more

We had vinyl composite tiles installed in our kitchen. Everyone we dealt with at Mal Elfman's was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Paul, our salesman, was very responsive to our questions and needs throughout the process. Mark, our installer, was great and informative on our next steps. We are very happy! It was a positive experience from start to finish! Would work with them again and highly recommend them to others! read more

My husband and I recently purchased flooring and a wall-to-wall carpet from Mal Elfman's and really appreciate the great service they gave us. Their selection is excellent and we were very pleased with the salesman we worked with, Fred Richards. We had an issue with the carpet Fred and his team went above and beyond expectations to make sure it was resolved. They definitely deserve the high marks they've gotten from other customers! read more

I purchased a 12x16 area rug last summer. I recently noticed the binding coming lose on a section of the carpet. I called Paul on Friday and tthis morning he had the carpet picked up, taken to the binder, and returned to me by noon. What great service!!!! I am an interior designer and have been doing business with Elmans for over 15 years. I have always found the product and service to be exemplary. And, the prices are great!!!!! read more

i've bought wool carpeting from elfman's in the past and they've always been great to deal with. i especially like their remnants section, where you can get great deals - even on normally expensive wool carpeting! this time i got a large piece of wool sisal carpeting free on craigslist and elfman's agreed to install it for me, even though I didn't buy the carpet from them. i'm so glad they did. the piece was incredibly heavy for me to move, but their guys handled it effortlessly. they did a very professional job of installation. they were polite, respectful of my home, efficient and accommodating. I'm happy to recommend them to anyone needing reasonably priced carpeting and professional service. read more

We've gotten a few pieces of furniture at Mal Elfman's. Prices are good and my favorite thing about Mal Elfman's? The people who work there are NOT pushy. They don't try to upsell or convince you to get something that you really don't need or want. read more

After much time spent shopping, hauling samples and torturing my husband by asking his opinion about carpet for our living room, Mall Elfman's saved the day. They are by far the best in service (shout out to Paul Jackson who was delightful at every step) and their prices are 25% less than a well known store in Wellesley. Fantastic! read more

I had a wonderful experience shopping for my carpet at Elfman's. Paul Jackson was great, not pushy, let me find my own way and ordered more samples than I thought was possible. Great service. The installers were meticulous, on time, and did a wonderful job. Paul, Oscar, Antony, and Cecile, thank you! read more

I looked for months for area rugs. My last batch from Crate and Barrel are falling apart and they are only 3 years old! Mal Elfmans was recommended by a friend. I walked in and worked with Fred to pick out my rugs and arrange for them to be cut. He was very helpful and my area rugs were completed quickly and they look great. The guys in the shop carried them out to my car to load them which was helpful since I'm pregnant. I found that they are a very relaxed place with a no-pressure sales attitude and they hold themselves to their client committments. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with. read more

Agreed, not much to look out from the outside but a terrific place to do business. They did stair carpeting for us a few years back and everything was handled very professionally, Paul is a fountain of information and advice and gives it to you straight. The result was PERFECT! Yesterday I walked in, saw Paul, and told him I was moving to VT and was just there to inform myself a bit more about carpeting. I said I didn't want to take up his time seeing as I wasn't intending to purchase from Elfman's. Well, he got me set up with ideas and knowledge as though I were his mom or best friend. He left me alone for awhile then came and spent nearly an hour with me educating me on the differences and how to pick the right carpet depending on the need. He even offered me his card saying that when I was looking at carpets in VT, if I had any unanswered questions to please reach out and he'd help. Well........wouldn't it be a much better world if all sales people reflected this level of attention and ethics? Go to Elfman's, you won't regret it. And if you are looking for a large rug they have hundreds of roll ends that they can cut and bind. So fun just to look! read more
