Sullivan & Son Carpet describes itself on its BBB profile as selling and installing all types of flooring, from carpet to wood to vinyl and ceramic, and refinishing hardwood. The company says it has been in business for 88 years, and its stated service area includes New Haven, Hamden, Cheshire, Naugatuck, Shelton and West Haven. It holds a 4.7-star average from 53 Google ratings and an A+ grade from the BBB. A recent customer carpeting a new home thanked Kristen and Brad for their responsiveness and care throughout the process. A recent customer replacing a damaged carpet section said an $800 estimate became a quote for a $3,000 Masland carpet that, once installed, came out two sample-swatches lighter than the swatch they ordered from and shows footprints when walked on. The manufacturer denied a color variance claim, and that customer said none of these complications were explained in advance, though they praised the installation. A 2026 customer said the floor came out well but objected to comments from a talkative installer who was dismissive of the sales staff's efforts. A 2024 customer having a kitchen remodeled said they were never pressured for a decision while borrowing samples. That 2024 customer said the flooring install was done in one day and the installers cleaned everything up behind them. A 2023 customer had 40-year-old hardwood floors and stairs sanded and refinished. In that 2023 review, Brendan Breen met them at home after work to give an estimate, and when there was a slight mismatch between the work and their expectations, he came out on a Sunday to meet them. The same 2023 customer said the price quoted was on the mid to high tier. A 2023 customer said the lady they dealt with was rude and hung up on them, while praising Rick. A 2022 customer said the company was no more expensive than the two big box stores. A 2022 carpet customer praised the installer's seaming but noted a slight shadow from the glue.
Based on web reviews, we trusted Sullivan & Son to guide us in replacing a damaged carpet section to match the existing carpet. However, the $800 estimate became a quote for a $3000 luxury brand carpet (Masland) that, when installed, was two sample-swatches lighter than the swatch from which we ordered; color varied from one part of the carpet to another depending on lighting; and it shows footprints when walked on. See photo. A color variance claim was denied by the manufacturer, based on comparing their roll to a scrap of the carpet they sent us rather than comparing to the swatch provided before ordering. None of these possible complications were explained to us in advance. The installation was excellent, though.
We are so grateful for responsiveness, and care, and professional Kristen & Brad showed throughout the entire process of carpeting our new home. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a priority for their business. Thank you again for making this such a positive experience and for all of your support!
Great work was done at my home. Customer service and attention to my needs was also great. However when I show my friends how nice my floor came out, I'm unfortunately reminded of a few uncomfortable comments made by a very talkative installer. Having an installer come into my home and be dismissive of the sales people's efforts and knowledge particularly the young lady who went beyond to help me I find very disturbing and quite frankly unprofessional . It's unfortunate but my friend who recommended me to Sullivans stated she also felt forced to conversate after we talked about my experience. I will recommend Sullivans for future projects but ,not that installer. He's been there half his life , I feel he should know better.
Every aspect was outstanding! Showroom person was great; installers were professional, friendly & efficient. Randy was a pleasure to do business with!!
Kristen was helpful and patient throughout the whole process. Carpet was well priced and the installation was well done. Highly recommend.
