L G Henley Co Inc

L.G. Henley has been in the floor-covering business a long time — its own listings claim 88 years, dating the shop to 1938. Working out of a showroom on Libbey Industrial Parkway in Weymouth, with older Quincy addresses still on file, it sells and installs carpet, linoleum, and ceramic tile, and turns up in directories under both "carpet and rug dealers" and "hardwood floors." David A. Abbott is listed as the owner. This is a genuine installer, not just a showroom — its listings describe the crew as installation specialists for residential and commercial work. Reviews are few but consistent: five Google ratings all landing at 5 stars, a 5.0 on Birdeye, and a couple of written write-ups from 2022 that mention flooring and tile work, including tile picked out for bathrooms. The volume is thin and none of it is recent, so treat the perfect score as encouraging rather than proven. One thing to confirm depends on your project. Floor-covering installation itself doesn't require a Home Improvement Contractor registration in Massachusetts, but BuildZoom lists Henley's general-contractor license as expired since 2025 and two HIC registrations as cancelled, alongside 11 permitted bathroom and kitchen remodels. If you're hiring them for floors, that's largely beside the point; if the job is a full bath or kitchen remodel, ask for current licensing and insurance before signing. For new carpet, tile, linoleum, or hardwood from a long-running local shop that both sells the material and lays it, Henley is a reasonable call — just settle a written scope and, for anything beyond flooring, up-to-date credentials.
