I have a one bedroom apartment in need of having gross carpet 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.

As a Realtor I've been using Straus Carpets for years with my clients, but only recently did I have the opportunity to experience just how great they are personally.Tom and his team were fantastic start to finish. From educating me on the types of flooring that would work for my kitchen & bath to bringing out samples so I could see them in the space, and helping me determine the best type of carpet for my pet-loving household.I ultimately decided on an absolutely stunning herringbone engineered hardwood for my kitchen after originally considering vinyl. I could not be happier. The kitchen is the heart of the home and the flooring has made it even warmer and visually gorgeous.The installation team was professional and fast, getting the job done over Thanksgiving week to work in my schedule of other vendors and contractors.I could not recommend Straus Carpets more highly and I am very happy that I can now support my professional recommendations with personal experience.

Need a beautiful cheap area rug or wall to wall carpet in Oakland or Alameda or San Leandro? Come to the family owned Straus Carpets where you can pick out a carpet remnant and have the edges bound very affordably. You can also find remnants of marmoleum and vinyl flooring as well as of course full selections. It’s so fun to remodel by sourcing flooring here!

We went to Straus Carpets to see if can get area rugs that would be a bit out of the ordinary and they got exactly what we were looking for! The 100% wool rugs are thick and luxurious and compliment our rooms beautifully. The pads were attached at the mill and the rugs are so comfortable on our floors.Tom guided us through the selection process and was extremely helpful and thorough from the first conversation all the way through the delivery and installation.

I had a rush job — I discover the adhesive on my beautiful vintage kitchen floor had vaporized just days before the new residents and their dog moved in. Eugene was amazing to deal with. I would work with Straus Carpet again on any flooring carpet in a heart beat.

I am a VERY happy customer! I wanted a carpet solution that did not waste new carpeting and dealt with a rather large stain my tenant had left behind on new carpeting. Tom came through! I did not think it would be possible! This business has been around for 40+ years (I think). I don’t think I have been a customer quite that long. This is a local business that provides high value and expertise.

Straus Carpets are great to work with. They have a large variety of quality products to choose from, and the expertise to go with. Vera is a professional who did exactly what she says they would, and on the date and time she said. I used Straus for both wall-to-wall carpet and vinyl planking installations, and the work was excellent for both.

We recently had our hardwood floors installed by Straus Carpets and they look beautiful. Eugene came to our home, showed us samples, and bid the job. The installers were professional and cleaned up each day. I can highly recommend them.

Even after almost a year, I am still greeted with the wonderful smell of new carpet every time I enter my home. Felix and his associates did an outstanding job assisting me select the perfect carpet to fit my budget, and the team of installers came in like ninjas removing and replacing the old carpet in record time. Whatever your flooring needs, Strauss is more than accommodating and extremely pleasant to work with.

This place saved me more than $750 after checking two other local carpet stores. I'm so happy with the final product. Tim was so great and could not have made the whole process easier. I made one phone call, and he quoted me exactly what I paid; I went in, and chose one of the carpets he had set aside (all the green ones in that price range), and I had it ordered, all under two hours from when I made the call and installed within the week.

Straus Carpets is nothing short then extraordinary! When I called to request an in-home consultation, it was so easy to schedule and give Tom an idea of what I was looking for. Day of, he came with examples and such a friendly demeanor.He is clearly an expert, having barely walked on the carpet, he knew what type of rug pads were underneath and which ones would need to be reinstalled vs keep (saving us money). Upon inspection to confirm, I discovered hardwood floors!Instead of being short, knowing that I wouldn't be needing his business right away, he took his time to give me his opinion on staining and baseboards. When we do need carpet, they will be our go-to for sure!

I can give the people at Straus only the highest of compliments for their products and for the professionalism of their employees We had new flooring installed last week-luxury vinyl planking in the kitchen and bathrooms and carpet throughout the rest of the house. Everyone at Straus was great to work with and made this an easy project. The two installation teams were on time, they worked non stop and the finished product is beautiful. The office staff was most helpful every step of the way. I have already recommended Straus to people I know who are in the market for new flooring.

We got three estimates to do a fairly large office carpet replacement in two phases and Straus was very competitive. Patient and caring Alex Trujillo came to bid our job in August. He showed how thorough and organized he was by mapping out and labeling the building, then listening and confirming what we needed. The estimate was timely, even though he was getting married a couple of days later, and he answered queries quickly. While we pursued the other two options, it was clear which company stood head and shoulders above the others.Office move-outs are tough and Straus brought in a huge crew and completed the first phase in two hours, starting at 4 pm on a Friday. By six the first office was put together and operational once more. The work was skilled and the crew genial, clearly all got along well. Phase two was another Friday night, and the results we just as good. Alex came back to do a little touch-up two weeks later. Great follow up! He brought three long and beautifully finished runners cut from our carpet material for the warehouse entry points. These were done at no charge.We couldn't be happier with our beautiful new carpet and plan to have them replace the WC floor in November. You owe it to yourself to call Straus for an estimate for any project you are considering.
