Carpetville

Carpetville is a flooring shop on Watertown Street in Newton that says it's been operating since 1987 — 39 years by its own BBB profile — under owner Joseph Deluca. It handles carpet, hardwood, tile, ceramic, linoleum and marble installation, along with custom rugs, and its Better Business Bureau file carries an A+ rating (it is not BBB accredited). The name reviewers keep bringing up is Clive, who handles the sales-and-install side: a 2026 review describes him walking a customer through material selection for a stair-runner job, finishing the two-hour install at what the customer called the most competitive price they'd found, and a 2023 review credits him with a fast, friendly runner install as well. Google shows a 5-star average across 12 ratings, and the five reviews on file span 2022 through this year — including one from 2022 describing wall-to-wall carpet in an attic office that, per that reviewer, had held up well a year after installation. There isn't much to flag here — no complaints turn up on file, and every review that exists is positive about price, speed and durability. What's less clear is how the business handles larger renovation-style jobs versus straightforward carpet and runner installs, since most of the detail in the reviews is about the latter. This looks like a solid call for a straightforward carpet, runner or hardwood installation in the Newton area, especially if price is a factor — just confirm current lead times and get a specific quote before booking, since the reviews on file are spread out over several years.
