Essex Paint and Carpet's entire staff is made of nice and knowledgeable people. There was no "hard…read moresell" involved when I went to ask about tile shower materials. Devin was able to explain all the product lines they carried, and also explain the entire install process. Stuart was an expert installer, very comforting to have him arrive at our home and do the work. He was courteous, clean, and efficient. Joe was great about the follow-up. He did a final inspection and verifed of our satisfaction with the job. We were very impressed with Essex Paint and Carpet.

I would NOT recommend this company and never would have used them to begin with had I known they…read morewould not finish the job I hired them for. First, they installed an expensive maple handrail with a terrible sanding and staining job and a dark black blemish. I had to ask them to replace it and re-sand other portions of their handrail install that were sharp and had splinters. Second, Warren assured us that he would return to refinish our stair treads shortly after installing our railings and spindles. I wanted to do the railing, spindles and treads all at once, but Warren insisted that they needed to break up the project, but that he would be readily available to complete the job. As it turned out, this was a lie and I had been duped with a bait-and-switch. Warren then proceeded to continually cancel and not show up to finish the work for the next two months. The final straw came when he called at 6:30 a.m. on the day he was supposed to arrive (2 months AFTER the job was supposed to be completed) and claimed that he never agreed to remove our old runner rug, and that WE had to do that first before he would finish the stair treads. I ended up firing Woodline and finding a more competent and dependable company to finish the job. I am just sorry I spent over $10,000 first.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!! They do not adhere to…read morecontracts, schedules, or agreements. I made arrangements to have my floors done while I was away for two weeks. Not only did they not get the work done, but they left the heat on 90 degrees for the entire time. Warren, the owner agreed to reimburse me, but didn't. They promised to get the work done in the beginning of the following week, left a living room full of wood and didn't return until the end of the week. I contacted and paid extra for low VOC products which they said they used. I returned home to a home that was uninhabitable due to noxious fumes due to turpentine use. Owner Warren refused to take responsibility or even apologize for any wrong doing; completely defensive and directed me to his insurance company. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Liars

I would rate them a 4* but due to the initial workers, I have some issues with my floor that unless…read moreI remove the entire floor, I cannot replace it, so I gave them a 3. (I did not discuss this with the company because I was sick of the project, so in fairness they were unaware but likely in my experience of them-would have fixed it) This is a bit of a doozy, The primary feedback I will leave you with is that they will not leave your job until it is completed to your satisfaction. My project was tile and hardwood in 6 separate spaces. I had a project that was to be completed in 1.5 weeks and due to many factors, it didn't get completed for a few months. The initial men that were at my job site were absolutely terrible- vaping in my home, taking long breaks, showing up late-leaving early, broke a light and I believe stole materials from my job (not confirmed). They were eventually terminated but not before they made my job a nightmare. I had to be very diligent checking on them, asking questions, taking photos and being very assertive about my needs and the damage the workers did to my job including damaging brand-new floor they laid down. Additionally, there had to be high level of communication which was difficult as there were many people to communicate with and the message often was distorted in the end. The second person they hired to complete my tile project was professional but had several personal issues that I believe disrupted the handywork, but the supervisor came in many times to ensure that my difficulties, issues and overall satisfaction was addressed. He wasn't willing to leave my project until I was happy with the work. He was professional. I would also add that I had to be on the phone with the team many times, and although I know they were likely sick of hearing from me- the office staff and workers were always kind, respectful and willing to address any need I had. I would return to their business, with a bit of caution due to those initial workers but I would return.

Not only did they exceed all expectations on very badly damaged hardwood floors, making them look better than new, they are a great group of craftsmen that are a pleasure to work with!

They were very professional in spite of several snafus that were partially our fault. They did a beautiful job on the flooring and cleaned up after themselves.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone having flooring installed. The price was right as well!

They thought it was enough that they didn't charge me for the redo. But they did charge me to ruin my rug. Businesses like this are based on trust.

After 15 years as a customer, I am done. I dropped off a rug for cleaning on 11/5 and didn't get it…read moreback until 12/23, nearly seven weeks later. I was told it would be ready for pick up in 2 weeks. I called repeatedly in that time asking when it would be ready and was told it was "in the drying room" and I should call back to see when it would be ready. I called again and each time was told it was being "cleaned again" or in the drying room. Upon pick up I was told it was cleaned five separate times, which caused irreversible damage. It was not dirty enough to be cleaned twice, never mind 5 separate times. The rug was returned with unraveling edges, failed binding, and curling corners. It was in good condition when dropped off. It is now ruined. Completely unusable. This is not normal wear; it is the result of improper cleaning practices. I called to speak to the owner to see what could be done about destroying my rug. The new owner told me he "Planned to do NOTHING about it" and to come pick it up. The business is under new ownership and whatever standards existed before are clearly gone. If you were a long-term customer like I was, be warned: the quality and care are no longer there. I regret trusting them with something I can't replace.

I would strongly discourage anyone from doing business with this flooring company…read more They have now failed to deliver my flooring on three separate occasions after repeatedly assuring me it would arrive. Every missed delivery has forced me to reschedule my installer, and each delay has cost me thousands of dollars in non-refundable deposits and scheduling fees. Their lack of reliability has turned what should have been a straightforward project into a stressful and expensive nightmare. What makes it even worse is the poor communication and complete lack of accountability. Instead of providing honest updates or realistic timelines, I was repeatedly given promises that were never kept. At no point did anyone seem to understand or care about the financial impact their failures were having on me. If your project depends on materials arriving when promised, I would look elsewhere. A company that can't honor delivery commitments, communicate honestly, or take responsibility for the costs they cause their customers simply doesn't deserve your business. My experience has been incredibly frustrating, expensive, and completely unacceptable.

When I tried to return them, they said that the tiles - which were normal subway tiles that people would definitely buy - were final sale.

It is so frustrating, particularly after how much money we spent there. WOULD NOT RECCOMEND.
