There is a series of negative reviews below which really surprise me. I've only had great…read moreexperiences with this business. I think I know what the problem is which I will state later in this review. ABSOLUTELY BEST PRICES They absolutely have the best prices in northern New Jersey. How do I know? Well, it's sort of my job to know. I've literally gone to every single flooring/tiling store and Speedwell has beaten them all, sometimes by a very significant margin. If you don't believe me, call any store and get a quote on a piece of flooring. A lot of them will say they don't quote over the phone. (That's double-speak for we want you to come down and then hopefully, when you hear the price, you'll be too lazy to go back to the cheaper place and you'll just order then and there. What's crazy is that this actually works. Ask car dealers.) Think about this observation I made about them. Their normal prices are better than the sale prices of other places. It makes my job easier since I don't have to always comparison shop because I know I'm going to get the best price. I still do time to time to make sure but it's always cheaper. WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG I think the reason for the negative reviews is that this business does a lot of business with commercial buyers who buy in bulk. (Thus, the cheap prices.) They don't do as much business with residential customers so they don't have their own in-house installation crew. They sub-contract the work and that is the problem. They try to find good people but quality control is pretty tough when you are subcontracting the work out. This is probably the reason why there are so many complaints about the workmanship. Speedwell isn't overseeing the work so they can't control the results. Speedwell probably just offers installation as more of a "favor" to residential customers. (I'm not sure of this but I'm just speculating.) If I were them, I would just sell floor products rather than include installation. It's the better business model. But, what do I know, right? SELECTION AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE The ladies in the store are absolutely the nicest people you'll meet. They let me take their only sample piece over the weekend so I could bring them to job sites. My designer could now see if the sample piece's color truly matches the room's surrounding fixtures. That's really great customer service. Their store has a real wide range of products to choose from and the ladies' technical knowledge is solid. What's more important is taste and they've made some great suggestions in the past. BUY THE MATERIALS HERE. FIND YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL. This is how you save a few hundred/thousand bucks. The contractor is not going to go looking for the best price like you will. But, they do get a slightly discounted contractor's price sometimes so when you go shopping around, just say that you're a designer and you want the contractor's price. Not so hard, is it? I'm a property manager so I have previously used contractors lined up to install the product. I suggest you guys to look for contractors that will just do the install. To find good contractors, ask to take a look at work projects that they have done a year or two ago. (Newly installed product will almost always look good; the bad quality reveals itself over time. Look really close and be anal.) If you still want to use Speedwell's subcontractors, ask them to only suggest contractors that they absolutely know to be awesome. I'm sure they will tell you the truth. They really are nice people.

They stand by their work & we will continue to use them.

They showed up with masks and worked with our crazy schedule of wanting to get things done. They were professional and helpful every step of the way. My realtor had recommended us to Geoff and they have been nothing short of AMAZING. They gave us a quote with competitive price, was timely in getting the work complete and our refinished floors honestly looked brand new. We were shocked how great they looked. Post completion of the project, Geoff made an extra stop to my home and provided us felt stickers for my furniture so it didn't scratch my floors and a spray mop to clean so I can maintain the floors. He even took off his shoes when entering in as we are a no shoes household. Shortly after my uncle was doing some work in the house so we had cardboard down so we didn't damage the freshly done floors. When lifting that cardboard back up, we noticed a small knick in the hardwood. It was like a chip or hole of some sort. Trying to cover it up, I realized it was bothering me way too much. I reached out to Geoff who offered to send someone over and fill it for us. Honestly, one of the greatest people we have worked with! 110% recommend them always.

I'm on my third big project using supplies from Standard Tile. This wide-open store has displays…read morethat let you browse floor tiles by pulling out enormous flat drawers, and check out wall tiles on huge walls that roll back and forth. Both are big improvements on the system some places use, basically big heavy boards with just a couple of pieces on each, all jammed together in a standing rack. The selection at the East Hanover store is large but thanks to that careful display construction it didn't feel overwhelming to me. Joey A. was a big help with finding selections, suggesting size and color options, giving me quotes in email and correcting a box of broken decorative pieces. Also threw me a small discount, thanks man. As with every tile store I've found, only grout is in stock locally, every other d*mn thing has to come from far away and takes 1-2 weeks. Return policy here on non-special orders is full boxes within 15 days. Which of course is impossible, construction schedules never work out that neatly. Anyhow if you have a full box you should keep that ish for repairs when something goes south three years later. Basically ya gotta treat all sales here as final, don't kid yourself otherwise. These guys also will arrange for shower doors and glass panels, all strictly list price and boy those prices are daunting.

To start I did call the store, the manager/owner told me he did want to listen to my rant so I'm…read morejust putting it here so people are aware of the company they may potential work with. I was just driving home when this Blue Standard Tile Van pulls up so close I can't see the front the vehicle, then proceeds to ride my bumper to a red light where there are lot of cars in front of me. The light turns green but it is not a long light so turns yellow before I am close enough to turn and again the van is super close to my bumper and then he proceeds to swerve into the right lane and make a left through a VERY RED RED LIGHT! He is so close to my bumper that he almost hits the back end of my car and then makes the left turn so sharp he almost hits the front of my car. I arrive home shaken as was my child. I call the store to let them know, the manager or owner, not sure who as they would not provide a name, gets on the phone and just says hello with an attitude. I explain that his driver just almost hit me twice on River Road and then ran a red light onto Route 10. He goes oh, then silence and then finally asks if I am okay. I explain that my child was shaken up and it was very dangerous and try to explain the whole situation but he cuts me off and tells me he has listened to enough of my rant. Then in a very "I don't really care" voice says I said I'm sorry which he never did and then said he would speak to them. He was so rude, condescending and unconcerned it was appalling. I can only imagine how they treat you if you have an issue with their products or service. There are plenty of other tile places, I would suggest one of those that actual cares about other people.

While we have had good experiences with Doug's Rug before, our most recent installation has been…read morenothing but frustrating. The caret pad we specified and were quoted was replaced with a lower grade pad with a less comprehensive warranty. Within 3 months of installation the seams are showing and edges of the carpet that interface with other flooring are failing. We have called multiple times to have Doug's come out to inspect and repair. They do not return calls and when we do reach them they give vague promises to schedule a visit. Over 5 months later nothing. This is in stark contrast to the irritating persistence of the woman who runs the showroom , schedules and collects payment. In our opinion, she is unrelenting and irritating when collecting money during the deposit and installation, and unreachable when there is a problem. After multiple broken promises to fix the issues we've experienced, we recently visited the showroom in Flanders. The state of the store says everything. It is a catastrophe. Messy, unwelcoming and dirty with the woman mentioned before ensconced at a messy desk in the rear not even deigning to greet a customer walking through the front door, but rather staring with an irritated "why are you bothering me" look until we engaged her. Even the face to face promise made to fix remains broken a month later. No follow up, nothing At this time we recommend avoiding Doug's Rugs at all costs. This is a huge disappointment as we strive to support small local businesses whenever we have a choice.
