    LVP Luxury Vinyl Planks

    Decided to make this review after giving our new GAIA LVP (luxury vinyl plank) flooring some years of usage. After nearly 3 years our flooring is still in great condition!!! Our installers did an amazing job and the quality is the best we have seen. Even with dogs running around there are no scratches the durability is incredible!! We chose a higher end floor but we got our moneys worth!! Our salesperson was very easy to work with. Tom the owner was a very great and attentive person through the bid process. We are extremely satisfied with Straus Carpets!

    Look, new carpet!

    Tom and his crew did a great job for me after a flood took out my office carpet. Great price, great service, no hassles! Install crew were amazing, prompt, professional, and very clean work. Highest recommendation!

    These guys did such a incredible job. I had been waiting to switch out our gross carpets for years because I thought it was gonna be so expensive and such a hassle, but they came in at a very reasonable price and did my entire stairs and upstairs in half a day, including moving all the furniture Super professional couldn't be happier

    Dining room...

    Bought and had this company install carpet in my dining room 10 years ago. Furniture was clear except one cheap shelf from target that I could not remove because I just had hip surgery. I paid extra to have it moved and tipped in cash. Carpet needs to be professionally cleaned and guess what we found... They never moved the shelf. They just cut the carpet around it. Total garbage! Now we have to replace the damn carpet! I will go to a large store versus family business for now on.

    I have a one bedroom apartment needing gross rugs removed and new LVP installed. I received quotes from several companies but chose to go with Straus Carpets. Tom Straus came out to measure and discuss options, he really understood what I was looking for and only needed to show me 2 samples for my decision to be made. I also got all new baseboards. They dropped off the baseboards the week prior so I could pre-paint them. Floors were installed Monday the very next week. The installers were on time and very efficient. I love the way they came out. I would highly recommend Straus Carpets for your flooring needs.

    We have worked with Straus carpets in the past and have always been happy with the service and product. We recently did a partial remodel of our upstairs which required us to replace our carpet and stair runner. Tom (Straus) and his team did the most incredible work! Tom was very patient helping me pick a carpet that felt elevated and more design-focused, while staying within budget. To achieve this we landed on a lower-cost Anderson Tufex in the bedrooms (Abbey Road in Fairy Wings) and a higher-end Prestige (Sonnet in Royal/Cornflower) in the hall and on the stairs. The installation was fast and easy, even with furniture in all the bedrooms. They were detail oriented, kind and hard working. I would HIGHLY recommend Straus Carpets for your home!

    They gave us a great deal on carpeting and the installers did a wonderful job! They did our stairs as well, with waterfall style.

    If you're looking to replace your carpeting, I want to highly recommend Strauss Carpets. Steven at Strauss was great to work with--very patient, responsive, with really good ideas, and totally understood what we wanted. The installers were fast and super professional.

We replaced 20-year-old carpet throughout our entire home with beautiful engineered hardwood--and the result is nothing short of stunning. - David, our project manager, was responsive and guided us every step--scheduling a site walk immediately, explaining the process clearly, and connecting us with their flooring gallery for expert, no-pressure guidance. - Johnny, the on-site lead, was communicative, accommodating, respectful, and always available. His hands-on leadership kept everything on track and on time. - The install crew was punctual, clean, skilled, and completed our entire home in just two weeks--without cutting corners. Transitions, baseboards, and fine details were flawless. - No surprises, no hidden fees--just honest, fair pricing and clear communication. They stood by their word, every step of the way. Our home now looks brand new. We've worked with many contractors, but Tom's Hardwood Floors sets the gold standard--not just for quality, but for the values of a true family business. Do not look anywhere else. If you want excellence, integrity, and a team that treats your home like their own, Tom's Hardwood Floors is the way.

    Tom's did the floors in my unit a few weeks ago. Here are my thoughts:…read more Pros: - Communication: Generally very prompt communication. I wish I got more updates during construction but they sent them whenever I asked. I liked that they were very contentious about talking with my neighbor when their van was blocking a little bit of their driveway--a lot of contractors wouldn't bother. I also had another neighbor who was causing some issues and they kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. - Price: I talked to several contractors and their price was pretty reasonable--not the lowest nor the highest, more in the middle. Cons: - After construction, I noticed some damage on parts that were supposed to be protected. They were minor damages, but annoying. The most noticeable one was a dent on my TV, which left a white dot that I see every time I turn on my TV, which sucks. - In terms of details, I noticed that there were some dings in pretty noticeable parts of the wood. I don't know if it was the crew or the wood came like that, but when I was testing a wood sample before purchasing, I hit the wood with a hammer and it didn't leave a mark, so it would take a lot of force to leave a dent like the one pictured. Kinda disappointing because the dent is smack in the middle of a high traffic area. Some last notes: - David came by to do a final walk through and helped me move some of the heavier furniture back. It didn't bother me but if you're expecting furniture to be put back the way it was originally, you'll want to manage your expectations. - You should definitely hire painters and cleaners after the construction--I didn't think the walls were going to be as scuffed up as they were. And everything will be superrrr dusty, even if it's covered. - When I expressed concern about not all baseboards being replaced, which I thought was the scope of work, he explained that he told his crew to use existing baseboards when possible. He said he did this to save me some cost and offered me $150 to cover the savings. I generally feel positive about this, although if I hadn't mentioned it I don't think it would've come up, so take that for what it's worth.
