Customer Reviews

“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!”

“Fantastic experience. Instantly warmly greeted and fast help! Highly recommend.”

“Straus made the new carpeting experience a pleasure... They met all our timing, selection, price and installation needs...and their crew was pleasant and efficient. No more "Big Box Store" run- arounds for us!”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
