We are thrilled that you love your new carpet and that our staff & installers did outstanding work.

The selection of high quality designs at City Carpets was a special attraction. Installation of our stairway carpet went smoothly and we're very happy! Thanks to John for keeping us up-to-date on the delivery of the carpet. **★★★★★ — Ardith Plimack, June 2022** > Nicole is wonderful and really knows about carpet, and aesthetics. She is very nice and professional, and even came over to help me feel confident about choosing the right carpet from all the samples to coordinate with new wallpaper and furnishings. I was worried about some of the special functionalities we needed, and she reassured me and helped me pick the correct pad etc... The company gave us a great result, even better than expected, and the installation felt easy and turnkey—their installers are pros. I recommend city carpets and Nicole! **★★★★★ — HU-658814964, June 2022** > I was very pleased with City Carpets. They installed 2 carpets on short notice and they look so much better. I was especially pleased that they were able to reattach the closet doors and door track in one room. The carpets look great, just what I wanted. > Avo was easy to work with, a real life saver. > Thank you so much Avo! > Pauline Bartholomew **★★★★★ — Susan Lund - Spacial Design, July 2019** > I’ve had the pleasure of working with City Carpets for over 10 years. > > Their service and selection make them my go-to source for clients and personal use. > > City Carpets entire team does whatever they can to make the client happy and they do it well!! **Comment from City Carpets:** > Hi Susan, > Thanks so much for your kind words, its always a pleasure working with you & Spacial Design on your projects! **★★★★★ — stephgilmour, Dec. 2015** > City Carpets is great! We needed carpet for our home in Sonoma and honestly had no idea exactly what we wanted but the team from City Carpets made the process super easy. We were able to get an appointment really fast for the day/time we requested and they came to the house with tons of samples. We needed something installed relatively quickly and Hossein was able to help us narrow down our choices to something that fit in our budget, was in stock and most importantly we loved! We had the carpet installed within days of the first meeting to pick out what we wanted - we couldn't have asked for better customer service! We've already recommended them to many friends and would absolutely work with them again the next time we need flooring! **Comment from City Carpets:** > Hi Steph, we're so happy we were able to assist! We look forward to working with you again on your next project! **★★★★★ — willowkalatchi, Dec. 2015** > Larry at City Carpets was incredibly user friendly and easy to work with. We used him to install all new wood floors and carpeting in our home. I found his company through happen chance and we really lucked out! He was very competitive when it came to pricing and the quality of the install was meticulous. We actually had such a good experience with him, that our GC ended up using him on his next couple of projects... > > I would recommend for highly ease of communication and quality of install. **Comment from City Carpets:** > Hi Willow, thanks so much for the feedback. We're happy we were able to assist and looking forward to helping you and your contractor in the future. **★★★★★ — mabethjackson, Dec. 2015** > Great service and have known the owners for over 15 years. They took my information and I believe they came right over and did the estimate and the following week the carpet was installed as I was selling my home so it was important it was done quickly .would highly recommend City Carpets for large or small jobs.
