General Flooring Company of Weymouth

General Flooring Company has had the same Weymouth showroom, at the corner of Routes 3 and 18, for a long time — the company says it's been a fixture on the South Shore for over 60 years, and BBB records put its founding at 1945. It's run these days by Weymouth residents Bill Bates and Dave Holbert, who describe the shop as a stop for homeowners, decorators, and contractors alike, drawn in by a wide selection under one roof. Independent reviewers echo that: one calls it a go-to for "any flooring... carpet, hard wood, linoleum, tile," citing good prices and quick installs, and a Consumers' Checkbook reviewer said simply they'd use the company again. The showroom leans hard into wood flooring specifically — it markets itself as the area's wood flooring expert, carrying name lines like Lauzon, Preverco, and Homerwood, alongside its broader carpet, vinyl, and tile business. The BBB gives it an A+ rating, though it isn't an accredited business there, and the one review on that page echoes the same theme found elsewhere: good selection, no high-pressure sales. The one specific gripe on record involves purchase returns: a customer who liked the tile selection said she wasn't comfortable buying somewhere that wouldn't take materials back, so it's worth confirming the return policy on anything ordered before paying. For someone furnishing a whole house or replacing a single room's floor, this reads as a long-running local shop built around selection and installation rather than deep discounting — worth a showroom visit to compare against a big-box quote, with the return terms nailed down up front.
