General Flooring is a walk-in showroom on Main Street in Weymouth that sells and installs carpet, hardwood, tile, and vinyl flooring for homes and offices across the South Shore. Just how long it's been around depends on which source you ask — the company's own website says "over 60 years," one directory lists 70, and BBB's file puts its founding in 1945, which would make it more than 80. Whichever number is right, it reads like a long-running, family-feel operation: reviewers name the same handful of staff — Dave, Bill, Bryson, Josh — again and again, describing a store with a resident dog and a relaxed vibe. What customers keep coming back to is the hands-on help picking materials. In a 2023 review, one customer described being "intimidated" picking flooring until staff kept her focused on options that fit her style; in a 2024 review, another worked with staff to source a durable commercial-grade carpet for a triple-decker's common hallway. Selection gets mentioned just as often — carpet, tile, hardwood, and vinyl all under one roof — and Google holds the business at 4.6 stars from 51 ratings, with BBB grading it A+. It's not all glowing, though. In a 2021 review, one customer flagged that the store doesn't accept returns on purchased tile. Separately, one online account describes a carpet installation on a staircase and bedroom that left visible seams and some bulging — worth asking how installation issues get handled if something similar comes up. For someone furnishing a house who wants an in-person showroom and staff willing to walk through options rather than a big-box aisle, General Flooring is a reasonable, well-established call — just confirm the return policy on any materials bought and ask what recourse looks like if an install doesn't come out clean.

Friendly service and affordable prices. These guys are the only way to go if you have flooring needs.
These guys were very helpful in diagnosing a separation I was having in my engineered wood flooring. Great local business, happy to have them around.
My husband and I were renovating our main bathroom and chose General Flooring for all our tile needs. We dealt with Bryson who was very accommodating. Unfortunately, the tile we had chosen, wasn’t available in the amount we needed. Bryson informed us and asked that we come back to the store and choose something else. When we arrived, Bryson had displayed for us several patterns he thought we would like in similar designs we originally chosen. We picked one and were delighted we were in and out so quickly. We received all our tile the following Wednesday, and our contractor was ready to proceed with the bathroom tiling. Upon completing most of it, he realized we were short 7 pieces of the bullnose. I called Bryson immediately and informed him of what happened. He got on the phone and within 10 minutes he called me back and told me we would have the missing pieces that afternoon. Sure enough, about two hours later a gentleman dropped them off! We were so pleased; Bryson and his team was very accommodating and made sure our experience was easy to get through. We certainly will tell all our friends to shop General Flooring for their tiling needs!
