This is the second time that I have used Rainbow Carpet, and I recommend them highly. David is very helpful and easy to work with. He helped me to find exactly the carpet that I wanted, and he quoted me a reasonable price. The three men who came to install the carpet were efficient and courteous. If you need a carpet installed in Forest Hills, Kew Gardens or Briarwood, this is where you should go! read more

David is terrific. The price for our rug was very reasonable, especially relative to quotes I received from others (I did shop it around). We had a custom rug made, surged and seamless. It came exactly as expected and Moses did a fantastic job laying it down properly and perfectly. The process from start to finish was a pleasure. David sent me MANY samples in advance and discussed the best options for my purpose and traffic levels. He was very patient and pleasant. The rug came weeks before expectation. We are thrilled with Rainbow's services. read more

Reasonable price, accommodating customer service, and professional, precise measurement carpet cut. Seams of laid carpet were undetectable. They helped with some furniture relocation and were very generous in providing ample supply of carpet into closets that I wasn't doing due to their being full. Installers were respectful and courteous. read more

I paid this company almost $5k. The rugs I ordered cost about half as much. I will not speak about the quality of the rugs because this business orders them from other sources. I agreed to pay almost double the price for their labor and because I expected at least half decent service with no headache. Boy was I wrong. They took my cooperation as license for them to extort me for as much money as they could. After agreeing to a price, giving them half the money as a deposit, and waiting over a month, they told me they would not put in the rugs without additional money to move my furniture. I do not live in a huge house. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and I just moved in. I refused to pay them any more than the agreed amount. They delivered the rugs fully wrapped and took the rest of the money. After telling my sister, who recommended this business, she was appalled and told me that she wasn't charged for moving her furniture. She talked to one of the owners and he agreed to open and put in the rugs. The day before they were supposed to come, he called and asked for $175 to do the job. I again refused. My sister asked about this and they refused to do anything for less than $150. After writing a 1 star review, I finally received a call saying they agree to put in the carpet "free of charge." One week after getting the carpet delivered, after attempting to overcharge me 3 times, and after I had already moved most of the furniture and put in half of the rugs myself, they agreed to finish the job that I had already overpaid for. I changed this review from one to two stars because David called me begging to remove it since he finally agreed to finish the job for the agreed price. But I will not in good conscience remove this review. A business that tries to take advantage of others should not go without consequences. I was ok with paying more if I received good service and instead I was treated like a fool with deep pockets. I will never recommend this business to anyone. read more

I'm surprised by the older bad reviews. I don't leave many reviews but my experience was so great I felt obliged. We went in on a lark with my two young kids. The place looks small but their selection was large. We found what we wanted, was helped quickly and had everything delivered to us within a week. It was affordable and we love the quality of the rugs we got. I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

I am happy to be the first to write a review. My husband, and I were recommended to come here from a few of our happy family members who came here before. From the moment we talked in, I knew I would find what I need here. They have a wonderful selection. Something for everyone's taste. The worker there named Moses was taking care of us. We explained that we were looking for carpets or rugs. ( couldnt decide just yet). He said it wasnt a problem we was gonna be in our area and he was gonna stop by later that night to take measurements to help us decide which way to go. He keep his word and was on time. Took his measurements and asked us to stop by the store in the next few days to choose what we wanted. We decided to go with carpets. He showed us different samples that they had. Bedroom only took five mins to pick out and its beautiful! Living room was harder. What what we really wanted was supposed to be ordered from turkey. Could take months and we didnt want to wait. I just didnt like what he was showing me after. I wanted something neutral. He didnt lose his patience with a picky pregnant women. Instead, he worked with me till I finally saw something I was crazy about. I admire how professional he was. Hes main concern was our satisfaction. Luckliy, what I wanted could be ordered in a few days. We got a fair low price and closed the deal. Few days later the installtion we done and we could not be more satisfied. I love their attention to making the customer happy. There were lot of satisfied customers at the store while we were choosing. They really do have lot to choose from. If ur looking for rugs or carpets please go to them ask for Moses. You wont be sorry. read more

I purchased a carpet over a year ago from Rainbow Carpet 3 rooms were done but in my wife's room and living room the Carpet started to bubble up not lay flat. I called Frank the owner and right away he is talking Money. I told him I am not going to pay Nothing its new carpeting he is so CHEAP he said its 75.00 I still can't believe he is trying to charge me when his installers are the ones to blame. I regret giving him my business. He said I am busy now I will call you tomorrow I waited till 11 am and he never called so I called and said When was you going to call me. He is the worst. No customer service please Stay away from Rainbow Carpet. No Good money Hungry. Jimmy read more

The installation was great and fast. They finished installation within 1 hour. Moses even fixed my table legs. I recommend this store.

If I could rate this place 0 stars I would. The worker Moses is the most unprofessional, rude, good for nothing salesman. He is very unethical, promises me certain measurements and then gives me a carpet in a much smaller size than I anticipated. Not to mention I waited for months for this garbage rug. Avoid! read more

We were looking for a living room rug and came to this store, found it in yelp. Customer service was great and Moses help us to find the perfect rug. He was very helpful and gave us great recommendations! I highly recommend this place! read more

Great selection, competent and curteous installation, and Frank and Moses could not be nicer. My friends and I use them for all our rug and carpet purchases. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent customer service and excellent selection. High quality carpets and rugs. The owner is very patient and knowledgeable. He walked up and down the stairs with me at least 10 times until I finally decided what I wanted. Never once did I feel rushed or bamboozled. Prices can't be beat. Overall, I had a great experience when purchasing wall to wall carpet for my bedroom. Highly recommended. read more

After reading a few positive reviews my husband and I decided to contact Rainbow Carpet & Rug to install wall-to-wall carpeting in our newly purchased 5-bedroom house in New Hyde Park. I called them this past Saturday afternoon. The man on the phone informed me that the following day, Sunday, he would be able to come out to our new house and take measurements. He took my name and phone number as well as my husband's number. Come Sunday 4:30 pm, our meeting time, and there is absolutely no sign of him. I called the place of business again and there was no answer so I assume it is closed. He had not given me his personal cell number and did not have the decency to call and cancel the appointment. My husband and I waited for one hour on a hot summer day in a totally empty house with no furniture. We drove 35 minutes just to get there and about 35 minutes to get back to our apartment. Rainbow Carpet & Rug is completely unprofessional. They did not have the decency to call me afterwards and apologize or provide any excuse whatsoever. Don't let them waste your time. Please go elsewhere. read more
