Mayfair is the only place I go for furniture and flooring. It's a local family business that has been around for a long time. Why not support them instead of all those big box stores. read more

We recently had our upstairs four bedrooms, hallway and stairs re-carpeted by Mayfair and we were totally impressed by the value of the carpet and the perfect installation. They have their own experienced crew and do not use sub contractors. I was shocked by how much work their installers accomplished in just one day! All we needed to do was remove books and lamps and items from the closet floors. The two guys did all the rest of the furniture moving. Anyone who has bought wall to wall carpeting can tell you that the cost is one thing but the installation is everything! All of our seams are invisible and the stairway has complicated wrap-around steps and posts at the bottom that looks like the carpet has just grown around the posts! Also, I provided a handful of screws and they fixed a squeaky spot in our bedroom floor, after 30 years of suffering! Thanks Mayfair! p.s. we've also bought furniture from them in the past and experienced the same level of satisfaction. read more

This place is a Joke. Reading your reviews you can't deny that your company are liars and state unreliable timelines. I was going with them for carpet and flooring install but they claimed that the manufacturer is back ordered that was my order was delayed... Well we choose to go through another company that goes to the manufacturer as well and getting my carpets next week and flooring already installed. Their "Excuse" of manufacture delays is just lies. I really and truly believe they are a pyramid scheme taking clients money and paying off other debts but that's my opinion because how do you explain that everybody is experiencing the same delays that's just ridiculous. Everyones review states the same ongoing issue "Delayed" orders when speaking for myself the manufacturer is NOT claiming any delays with other companies and to clarify I ordered Shaw with another company coming DIRECTLY from the manufacturer as well. Most shocking of the whole incident I was able to get my floors and carpet plus install same ones as the one I had through Mayfair for total of 1/2 the cost. And YES same carpet, manufacture color etc as the same one I was going to order with these liars. If you're experiencing the same, I highly recommend hold them accountable by submitting a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, Illinois State Attorney and FTC. Because their business practices are dishonest, and they should be held accountable for it. read more

I've purchased many carpets and home furnishings online. I have never seen such a misrepresentation of an item in my life. The product I received was only a vague representation of the carpet on their website Buyers beware this company is a total ripoff. Unfortunately. I didn't read their return policy carefully enough. Had I done so I would have seen just how circular their policy is. I'll sum it up for you They do not accept returns annd never responded to me when I asked for a customer service representative. read more

I wish I would have read some of these reviews before contracting them. We recently purchased a house in Crystal Lake and contracted them to add hardwood flooring in a room. Dean was excellent to work with but the crew and project manager did an awful job matching the stain. (see picture) Their customer service was awful and the accounts receivable person hung up on my wife. They ended up charging us 20% higher than the original quote because they messed up mixing stain. When we tried to dispute and come to a resolution, we couldn't come to an agreement and they said they would send us to their lawyer. read more

Mayfair Carpets - Mismatched Stain - Carpeting Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Recently had an excellent experience with Mayfair for a carpet purchase and install. We did the whole upstairs, 3 rooms plus stairs. Carpet pricing with all the options and installation can be very confusing and hard to compare. I went to every carpet store in the area and Mayfair had the best value. It was easy to work with the Mayfair sales rep Ariel and Jason the installer was professional and did a great job. I highly recommend them and don't think you can find a better value at other carpet dealers or big box stores. It's so nice to have our old carpet replaced with a great quality product. A big thanks to the team at Mayfair! read more

Mayfair Carpets - New carpet installation - Carpeting Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Basing this on the experience my daughter had with them. What a nightmare! Pushy, rude, and unprofessional installer with no respect for ones personal property. Scuffed up freshly painted walls and put a sizable hole in the wall. Then argued with my pregnant daughter and blamed her for the damage. How pathetic!! His name Manny. Beware!! Management is an absolute joke. Kelly came out to look at the damage and told my daughter that kind of damage is typical during a flooring install. Even had the nerve to tell her that she shouldn't of had the walls painted. Really??! Maybe in your world disgracefully poor customer service but not in the real world. There are plenty of places you can have quality flooring installed who pride themselves in customer service and satisfaction. Do yourself a favor and shop somewhere else. read more

We were looking for new carpeting and came upon Mayfair Furniture and Carpets in Crystal Lake. We met with Ariel and was immediately impressed by his knowledge of carpeting. We picked some carpeting samples to take home and keep them until we made a choice. We made our choice and we agreed to have them remove all padding and old carpeting. The cost was very reasonable. When the installers came they were great. Polite, professional, and clean. The new carpet is more than we expected. Would recommend Mayfair again. read more

I visited Mayfair carpet on satisfied friends recommendation and was greeted by Dean. Dean not only went out of his way to explain the different grades of quality in padding in carpeting, but when an attractive sale price came available on day later on better carpeting I liked, came available he informed me and offered me the option in place of my choice, which I took. The price was exactly at my price point which I had previously been unable to find, and for better carpeting. Dean arranged for installers Jason and Jose to install my carpet and they did a phenomenal job. They moved the big furniture and returned it to the exact spot the pieces were previously. The cleanup was no less impressive. I wouldn't hesitate to refer Mayfair and Jason and Jose to anyone. read more

Looking for a full service carpet store I would highly recommend looking at Mayfair. Dean helped us from the start and was very helpful but no pushy at all. We left the store after our first stop with a quote but not ready to make the purchase. We came back several months later and Dean again helped us finalize our purchase. We had the installation crew out this week and they took great care in moving our furniture and left our home in great condition. They took the time needed to do the job correctly . They started early in the morning and left around 7:00 pm. read more

Went to their web site last Monday and filled out a contact form, I'm interested in wood flooring and carpeting upstairs and in the basement, no response yet. Called on Thursday and was passed onto the flooring guy named Dean, and left voice mail letting him know I sent an email and was very interested and if I could get a call back to schedule an appointment and got nothing. If you are not doing home visits, maybe let the potential customer know that. I guess business is that great. read more

We purchased Karastan carpet for one room from Mayfair. Our salesman was Dean and he was a pleasure to work with. I am extremely picky and take a very long time to make a decision. He was always prompt in getting back to me whether it be via email or phone. Our quotes were always done quickly and the purchase process was a breeze. Our carpet looks amazing and feels like butta on your feet. :) We will be purchasing and installing more rooms soon! read more

Excellent experience. Had about 150 yards of carpet installed. Mayfair did a superb job. The craftsmanship done by Victor in cutting and installing the carpet runner was exceptional. The excellent and responsive service given by Ariel, our sales person, was as good as we have ever received. Mayfair moved all of our furniture and did not require our removing all items from the drawers and disassembling our beds. Far more personalized and responsive service than the big boxes. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use again. read more

Truth be told this isn't a review of Mayfair Carpet and Furnitures products. A truck delivering a rug to my neighbor hit the wires going to my house in old Island Lake. Lake front that was built in the 1930's. Mayfair's truck hit the wires and caused damage to my house. Kelly the owner was adamant about placing the blame on me and my neighbor (her customer) and refused to take full responsibility. Left me with the bill. $175. Choose wisely who you do business with. read more

Not the same customer service as in previous years. Anxious to make sales, but not knowledgeable about their furniture, especially the furniture on clearance. Felt once the sale was made there was no interest in delivery options. read more

Went on a Saturday around 1015am. Practically nobody in the store. Looking for Vinyl plank flooring. Salesman got all huffy, because I asked him how much it was(No prices are listed). Must of been too busy, with no customers. Ignored me as I left. I bought else where. read more

Mayfair is our go to place for carpet, flooring and furniture!! The selection is great! And they are very kind and professional. Our sales person Ariel has helped us with carpet for our basement and hardwood floors. Excellent experience :) read more

Their prices are relatively good. Their service however leaves a lot to be desired. I have had a huge issue with a Mohawk Karastan, very expensive carpet that is unraveling after 6 months installed, and they refuse to help me or to replace it. I will have to sue Mayfair to get our money back. i will never again buy another Mohawk product of ANY kind, and much less from this retailer. If there was a lower score than '1' star I would leave ZERO rating. read more

Inconvenience beyond belief! NOT the same staff as in the 80's and 90's! Just had our whole house carpeted! When ordered and paid was told 2 weeks they will be there! We cleaned out and stowed away everything for safety and to make less work for installers! Completely blocking 1 bathroom and basement! 2 weeks comes call Lady says it was 4th of July 4 weekend staff was all off same every year. HELLO you knew that yet said 2 weeks?!? Another week passes call guy says it's on truck. Weeks more delays given date after date Get call on Friday we can be there Saturday NO we have plans so Mon 8/7 Sub contractor Installers show up said 2 day job Nope stayed until 9:45 House is a complete mess! Their vacuum broke let them use our broke it! Left us to spend next day cleaning it ourselves! Horrible seam placement other seams under doors new seams all over and very visible! Zero communication from Mayfair to see how job went! They sure charged my CC fast to get their money! Inconvenience after inconvenience! Do not recommend one bit! Like one other review states I should have read reviews 1st! Would not have purchased here! Ordered July 5th installed on Aug 7 over a month NOT 2 weeks and leaves us to clean up! Not a way to get 5 star reviews! read more

STAY AWAY!!! Our decision to purchase flooring and have Mayfair do the installation has been one of the most stressful and regrettable decisions we've made in a long time. We tried to spend money with a local company, and have had nothing but problems since the sale. The installation of our engineered hardwood flooring, and subsequent dealings with the management at Mayfair, has been nothing short of a disaster. The installation was done poorly, with gaps between boards, repeated small boards placed in a row and next to one another, bad staining and finishing of the floor vents, and multiple scratches and gouges around the floor. After waiting several days to speak with a supervisor, he showed up at our house and got into an argument with us, that resulted in us having to force him to leave our house. The flooring Manager Jeff finally came out to the house and had to bring in a different crew to replace several small boards that were installed together in the main entrance to our house. He did this only after trying to convince us that repairing the floor might not be worth the future problems it would create. After finding additional problems with the installation day after day, we again asked for Jeff the Manager to stop by our house. On this visit, he tried to convince us that all the installation issues were with "industry standards". Jeff also refused to inspect the floor or give us any type of reimbursement for the installation or wood that they used to repair the floor. We eventually ended having to hire another contractor to fix some of the installation issues, and many problems we are forced to just live with because we cannot repurchase and pull out the entire flooring. Buyer beware.... read more

We got 2 sofas, a loveseat and 2 chairs from Mayfair and when we received them, the pillow stitching was undone. We had to send them back 4 times as every time we sent them back the stitching came undone. I finally sewed them up myself & the stitching has stayed! The backing cushion came away from the back and the material ripped on the sofa in our formal living room-which was rarely used- in under a year. The manufacturer said it was normal wear & tear & Mayfair would not back us. We had problems with the furniture from the beginning & Mayfair did not care! They will not stand behind what they sell. Once you've paid and received they wash their hands of you. I would never shop there again. read more

I will never buy carpet and furniture anywhere else. Hidden gem! Extremely helpful with ideas and service was awesome. The installers helped move things around. They were very clean left nothing behind. Super happy with the end result. Thank you! read more

From the time that we walked in the door, a sales person was there to help us. He explained the different types of flooring and let us take home multiple samples. The installers came within two weeks and were able to remove all of our carpet in the house and lay the floor in one day! They did an excellent job and even vacuumed before they left. The other positive thing was that we visited 3 different companies and Mayfair came in with the lowest cost and fastest installation! All of the floors are beautiful! read more

I found the prices were very reasonable and the people that work behind the counter very nice. The thing that inspired me to post a yelp review on this so are the carpet installers. They went above and beyond and doing a good job to make it a great experience. read more

Our recent experience with this company was excellent. We had new carpeting installed. The salesman and installers were great. A very good experience. The installers left our home spotless. Will definitely visit Mayfair again. You should to! read more

This is to undo a hastily written bad review as Kelly, the owner and I have talked and resolved all issues. First to say that in 4 installations of carpeting Aerial, their salesman helped considerably, the installers did an excellent job and Kelly, the owner worked with me to resolve a small problem with one of their staff. Resolving minor issues reminds me of how difficult smaller businesses have during this time of Covid and economic stress - all the more reason we should strive to shop locally. I am pleased with my carpeting and installation and intend to shop Mayfair for future purchases. read more

Excellent customer service! Had an issue (my own fault) with a table I bought and they promptly exchanged it for another, without any hassle. Their prices are very reasonable too and the pieces there seem well-made and unique. Will definitely come back! read more

Let me start out by saying one of the worst experiences I have endured! It all started with the install. Manny, the job foreman, was extremely rude, pushy, and unprofessional. My walls were just professionally painted days before the install. The crew scuffed several of the walls and put a hole in one wall on the first day. They were also sawing in the middle of our living room, this is not a new construction home either we currently live in it! Our home was covered in saw dust. When I called to notify management they said they would patch and paint the wall. I told them I didn't want them to repair the walls as my painter said he would. Manny showed up the next day and began to pull out supplies to patch and paint the walls. Fist of all I told them not to repair the walls and secondly he had the wrong color paint. I told Manny not to repair the walls. He was very pushy and was insisting he repair the walls. I had to tell him several times not repair the walls be he still insisted. I finally had to have my Dad tell him no. He even told me because of you I won't get paid. I called the store again to complain about Manny's behavior. They sent out Kelly to look at the damage. Kelly said that this damage was nothing and that it is normal for damage to occur to the walls during the install. I couldn't believe what she was telling me. She went on to say that I should not have had the walls painted! They agreed to refund me some of the money I paid. Now they are not returning my calls. I guess I will have to go to the store to try and collect the refund. A side note: The floors look great. They did do an excellent job installing them. The way they managed a rouge job supervisor and damage was absurd and appalling. Buyer beware!! Save yourself a nightmare!! read more

The most ridiculous place I have EVER done business with. About 3-4 months after our laminate floors being installed we noticed gaps in our hallway, it took months for Jeff Mortiz to come take a look.... months later he sends a crew out to "glue" the boards lmao ... well by then the issue had spread and there is a corner piece that's raised due to this happening and NOT getting fixed. The guys look at Denny and the floor and couldn't believe they were sent out to do what they thought was a quick fix and told us it couldn't be glued. So here we are months later and might I add I am the one who has had to chase this guy for an answer, I'm being told the brand Shaw has told him to glue the boards MCxuse me?! I asked to be sent the documents stating this so I can add Shaw into my BBB complaint and have not heard a response since. I've waited patiently alll this time due to their own fault in installation and now it's time for the next step to getting what's rightfully owed to us in the contract. Don't ever shop with Mayfair and expect to even get mediocre customer service or product installation, they SUCK!If I could leave 0 stars I would ! read more

Delivery was much later than promised. Then the installation was absolutely horrible and their sales managemager ignored the entire situation. I will never purchase anything from them again. read more

Just received my living room furniture I purchased at Mayfair only two days after buying it!! I loved that the sales people weren't hovering over us as we were browsing the floor. They have unique and well made furniture that is made in the USA and glad i could support a local business! I will definitely be back for my dining room table next! read more

Boy, do I wish I had looked up reviews before ordering carpet from this unprofessional business! It seemed to be a nice showroom and the salesperson was personable and seemed trustworthy, so we decided to give them our business in carpeting one room of our house. The order was placed December 23 with a promise of early to mid January installation date. On February 8 we finally ended up cancelling the order because we still hadn't received the carpet and service to that point had been horrible. After receiving half down, all customer service came to an end. I was never contacted, and I had to call them weekly to check in and get an update, which was always that the install date needed to be pushed back...again. They blame the weather and I absolutely understand that trucks will run behind and things will not be delivered in snow storms...but it does not take 2 months to drive from Georgia to Illinois! Many, many, times we were told our carpet would be arriving the next day, only to hear months later that it still hadn't left the factory. Each time I called they'd say "we haven't forgot about you", yet it seemed they had because they would also say "well, the factory is closed for the day now and won't be open until Monday so I can't check the status for you", which if they hadn't forgotten, they should've checked the status before the factory closed! Twice we moved our furniture out of the room because we had an install scheduled and then when I called them they said it'd be another week. In the end, then offered to do the furniture moving and carpet take up, but at that point I had no faith left in the business and did not want them to install it, because the customer service was so horrible I knew if there were issues with the install I'd be out of luck. Don't risk it! Prices are identical elsewhere with better service. read more
