In the past 2 years, my wife and I have used Best Carpet twice. Once when moving out of a house and 2 years (and several moves) later when we found a home we plan to spend some time in. If you want to save time and not read an entire review you should already know how we feel about Best Carpet because we have used them... twice. The showroom, sales people and installers are all awesome to deal with and they do a great job.
Now for more detail... The first time we used them in the process of selling a home. We went in, told them our situation and they did most of the rest. They knew we were selling so they weren't pushing anything pricey and there was no attempt to "upsell" us. They gave us some of their most popular options with price points and we picked what was best for our situation.
After picking the carpet, Sam came and did the measurements. Sam is super personable and great to deal with whether he is showing carpet at their showroom or coming to measure your house. He's part of our great experience with Best Carpet.
Once the measuring was done the carpet was ordered and install time was set. When the install day came, the installers were on time and did the job quickly but they also did the job well. Every cut looked clean, every line unnoticeable and very little scrap left over. We were more than satisfied.
Even with being more than satisfied I didn't feel compelled to write a review because I had no personal attachment to what they did... we were selling the house so someone else was going to get to enjoy it. I have no doubt in the fact that their great job helped sell our house, however.
Fast forward 2 years to now (January '19). We moved what I'd consider to be a decent hike for them to come out to. We actually assumed they wouldn't come as far as we moved so we started looking at carpet places closer to us. After dealing with Best Carpet the last time around all I can say is the sticker shock from other stores was insane enough that we figured we could call and beg them to come out our way but we didn't even need to. They were more than happy to come help us out, even being at the very edge of their service area.
This time Sean came out to measure and he was just as great as Sam was to deal with. He brought a few samples and then priced up a quote the same day he measured and we took it from there. Their pricing is one-third to half the expense when compared to the options in our immediate area.
Along the way my wife and I hemmed and hawed about the carpet we had picked out so we decided to go into the store and take a look at our options. Let's just say that if you can't find flooring you like at Best Carpet, you have some crazy taste and/or standards. They have what feels like (and might be) a thousand options.
After picking a few samples we liked, Sam encouraged us to take a few home to see how they looked. I didn't really want to because of the whole being far away thing but Sam set something up that worked out so we could get the samples and get them back in a way that worked for us. This ended up being so useful because seeing the stuff in your own house feels key in this kind of decision.
We made our final decision, the carpet was ordered and an install date was set. The day prior to our install, our furnace died. January in WI isn't exactly a great time for this to happen as your house needs to be a certain temperature to have carpet installed. I felt terrible about calling and telling them last minute we needed more time... Sam told us not to worry and he again made a solution that worked for us.
Finally the day came to install. Carlos and Caesar were our crew and they are super personable and absolutely fantastic at what they do. Bottom line, they bust their ass but they don't just bust their ass, they work hard AND get the job done well. Again, just like the first house Best Carpet did for us, the cuts were great and the lines were unnoticeable.
You know the movie "Elf" when Will Ferrell's character runs by a diner and sees "World's Best Coffee" and he gets super excited about it? Excited enough to bring a date only to find out it is certainly NOT the world's best coffee? The normal human reaction to the "best" of anything is an eye roll.
That shouldn't be the case here. Best is actually (pardon the repeat) the best thing to call this place. While their carpet selection and showroom are similar to any other carpet store, the way they separate themselves is with sales and service. The name "Best Sales & Service" isn't really a good name for a carpet store... so Best Carpet it is and I can't think of a more honest name to call them. read more
