Verified record
Watertown Floor Covering is a family-run flooring shop in Waltham that's been around since 1954, when John Parenti started it; his son Michael has run the business since 2000, and the site says the trade was taught down through the family. It's a Mohawk Preferred Dealer, selling and installing carpet, hardwood, laminate, tile and luxury vinyl for homes and businesses. The reviews describe Mike himself walking customers through their options before any work starts. In a 2024 review, a customer said the company was the most responsive and best-priced of several quotes for a master bedroom hardwood install; in a 2022 review, another described Mike as patient and honest while discussing flooring for two connected rooms, with a highly skilled installer spending hours on the job. In a 2021 review, a customer said Mike and his crew removed old flooring and installed new floors in a kitchen and dining room professionally, and a 2023 review credited Domenic with a commercial rubber floor job at a facility, calling him responsive and timely. This is a solid pick for a straightforward flooring job, residential or commercial, in the Waltham area — the decades under one family suggest they'll still be around for warranty questions down the line.

Me and my husband looked to have our master bedroom installed with hardwood after having carpet for many years. After getting multiple quotes from different companies, Watertown flooring was absolutely the most responsive and incredibly well priced compared to the surrounding areas. After speaking on the phone with Domenic , I had described what I was looking for, a wide plank darker wood. He immediately knew the perfect fit and was able to bring the sample (along with multiple others) to our home. Domenic was able to come to our house quickly, and give us a quote the following day. Domenic, Igore, Shawn, and the rest of the crew was able to rip up the carpet, and install the hardwood. We are INCREDIBLY happy with our service and doing business with Watertown Flooring. We highly recommend them. We look forward to using them for future projects.
Domenic did a really nice job on a commercial rubber floor at our facility. Responsive, timely and did the job as proposed...can't ask for much more. Wouldn't hesitate at all to call them again and also recommend them to others. Thank you Domenic and crew members.
I reached out to Mike to discuss options for a new floor in 2 connected rooms. He was incredibly considerate and patient and didn’t put any pressure on us. He was honest and it was truly a pleasure working with him! The day of installation, a highly skilled installer spent hours carefully cutting the edges of our new plank flooring to fit all of the jagged edges around our rooms. When Mike came on site the day of installation and noticed an issue with our door clearances, he went out of his way to obtain custom doorway strips to ensure that our doors would all function properly. I absolutely, without reservation, recommend Watertown Flooring for any floor project!
We had Mike and his crew remove old flooring and install new flooring in kitchen and dining room. Mike is a gentleman and very professional. His crew were polite and professional. It was a pleasure doing business with them and I recommend Watertown flooring highly.
