Do not use this company. DO NOT BUY. Regrettably we live in a country and in an era where bulls**t tops truth and shoddiness tops quality. This account of my experience does nothing to allay these assertions. We went to Solomons, as for people of our vintage, you know, people who still listen to AM radio, THIS NAME means something. We purchased… Read more
$4000 worth of a budget line of carpet for our newly purchased townhouse in Ballarat. OK not your Westminster or even Axminster of old. A budget line of carpet to be sure, more of a LDV than a Toyota. However it was only after some two or three weeks that we discovered that the boundary of the carpet as laid was peppered with small nails, painfully noticeable when walking barefoot, as one is want to do on occasions. I rang Solomons to report this issue. And I was told ' they all do this maam ' Now one of the benefits of being a Baby Boomer, along with the ability to read and write, is that we do have a history with carpet. I think I got carpet put down in my first home in 1973. And since then probably a dozen further times. My nonsense detector turned red. However I was prepared to exercise the benefit of the doubt. Yet the problem persisted. In fact it got worse. I called a second time three weeks later only to be told the same nonsense but this time I was told to use a hammer or mallet to squash the nails down. Hmmm. They did not tell me that when I purchased the carpet I would need to have DIY hammer skills. The third time I called I was told that the carpet layer, ' [Name Removed] ' would call me. Yeh, sure. Of course he never did. I am taking this disgraceful situation further. Let's hope that the owner's of Solomons, Carpet Call , really do come calling on this franchisee. In my opinion, if you are a Ballarat local and Fair Dinkum Aussie who believes in the values of integrity, honesty and quality then DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Absolute cowboys – Were not prepared to move furniture, despite of previous reasurance they will do so. When they did (even with myself present) No care taken whatsoever, draging furniture along the floor dropping objects along the way. Refused to move a desk because: A/ The lady was on her own and it was to heavy. B/ Later declaring they have NO LIABILITY… Read more

Poor Carpet Joints – I purchased new carpet for my home midway through 2021. Nearly $6000 worth from Solomons Wodonga. They engaged the services of a Sam Huxtable Floor Coverer also from Wodonga, Victoria. His task was to take up and remove the old carpet and underlay and lay, join and streach the new carpet and underlay. He preformed this task over two… Read more
non-consecutive days. Below are two pictures of his carpet joining abilities. This is what I was left to live with in the doorway to the master bedroom. I had to engage another carpet layer to attempt to repair the poor join.
I would not recommend Sam Huxtable Floor Coverer.

We recently ordered and had fitted wool carpet from Solomon's Kawana, and could not be more happy with the whole process. Solomon's was the only carpet quoter to actually bring samples after having listened to our preferences, which meant we did not have to take a trip to the store, as we found a suitable sample immediately. The fitter arrived… Read more · 1
promptly on the day, and was very friendly and professional, and did a beautiful job on fitting the lounge/dining area and a flight of stairs. Highly recommended, and would not hesitate to use them again.
A very happy customer. Terrific customer service from my first contact with Graeme in the showroom. Mitchelle with the measure, quote and answering all the questions I ask. Steven who did a great job laying the carpet for three bedrooms, a hallway and lounge room, in an old off square house. They were all very prompt with appointment times, kept… Read more · 1
me up to date through the whole process and were professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Solomons Carpets at Erina.
Brad was very helpful & we booked a lovely wool carpet for two of our rooms. All went so well & we were so happy with it, we replaced the other three bedrooms. We were even able to order the carpet & install 4 months afterwards until we could afford it. Thoroughly recommend them! Show details · 1

Caution Do Not Waste Your Time with Solomons at Brendale QLD – I had the misfortune to use Solomons at Brendale to recarpet/vinyl my property. The property was empty and had a total interior repaint at a considerable cost and the final issue was to recarpet/vinyl the property to finish the renovation. I made the mistake of paying Solomons the total amount prior to installation. Pictures were taken after… Read more
the interior painting had been finished and after Solomons carpet layers had finished laying the carpet, the damage to the property/paintwork was considerable. Two door frames, one wall and three doors were damaged requiring a total repaint.
Solomons at Brendale refused to acknowledge that their carpet layers had caused the damage, so I am off to the Department of Fair Trading.
All I can say in my experience with them, go elsewhere and avoid them and I wish I would have read this review forum first.

Poor service Store closed yet took a deposit – Solomons Willetton my first experience with a Solomons store - Very disappointing. Store very happy to take our order and 50% deposit, confirming an install date a couple of weeks later. Within one week of deposit payment they advise the store is closing and the parent company (Carpet Call) would contact us to arrange the install within a couple… Read more
of weeks. This was not true. Communication was poor (from parent company). Took months to arrange, and only because we persisted, but always felt they weren't interested. I wouldn't go near any Solomons flooring store because of this experience (nor the parent company).

Never again! – Terrible communication with customers. Carpet laying quality is poor with lumps and waves in the material. Edges along the stair not finished nicely. Join in pieces of carpet visible. No underlay underneath the open tread stairs leaving a visible difference in the level of floor. Nail spikes protruding from carpet grab strip into ajoining room. Constantly jabbing my barefeet. Such a horrible experience with this company. Show details
Never received communication from the store after this review. Apparently they knew nothing about… Read more

We’ve used Solomon’s Carpets Willoughby for five projects now, each with completely different needs - rentals, an Airbnb and our own family homes. Every single time the experience has been excellent. George’s advice is outstanding. From recommending the right carpet and timber floors for looks vs longevity, to helping choose colours that are on… Read more · 1
trend, practical and suited to our family’s life stage, he genuinely knows his stuff and takes the time to get it right.
We’ve recommended George to friends as well, and they’ve all been just as impressed - not only with his guidance, but also with the pricing and overall service.
One tip: if you visit the showroom, allow an extra 10 minutes - George loves a chat!
Highly recommend.
Surprisingly good customer service – They attended our home and helped us match an existing carpet that came with the house at a reasonable costing. They really went above and beyond on their own initiative. Their attention to detail outshone all the other carpet companies who were either overpriced or had very limited swatches and could not offer a match or similar product quality. Show details · 1
Fantastic job – Solomon’s carpets and Lino in Mandurah were the only people who came out and measured up and quoted for us and they did the job before Xmas very happy with service and they did an excellent job of carpet and Lino . Thoroughly recommend them Show details · 1
Dishonest and Unethical – Tried to purchase carpet from Solomons MacGregor and have never come across a more unethical and dishonest Sales person as I had at this store. They refuse to address concerns, they refuse to respond to emails. The tell lies to cover themselves. The Store Manager seems to encourage and condone the dishonesty. This has been a traumatic experience… Read more
from start to now and it’s still continuing. Beware if you intend to purchase from these guys and get EVERYTHING in writing and correct BEFORE handing any money over.

Beautiful carpet! Very Happy customer⭐️ – We found everyone we dealt with Solomons Mandurah to to be extremely knowledgeable and friendly. From the minute we entered the store we received great customer service. We are extremely happy with our carpet that was installed yesterday [ it was worth the wait] and really good communication from the office, I would highly recommend this well run family business!

Great service and the floors look fantastic – We were really happy with the end-to-end experience. The service in store at Belconnen was friendly. We received our quote and follow up emails quickly. Refreshingly this is one of the few renovation experiences where we didn't have to make countless calls to get the work completed. The tradies turned up on time and were fast and professional. The results look great. Show details · 1
Not the professional installation – After the installation of the carpet, the workers didn’t try again whether the wardrobe door can open or close, just told that couldn’t put back as the original place due to the door was too long and will made the carpet scrolled. Really not the professional attitude, just asked to find the handyman to cut the door down , but actually it didn’t need to cut. Finally, I have to spend extra money to ask the handyman put back the door. Show details

Solomons Flooring Castle Hill are fantastic – My mum recently had her carpet replaced with Solomon's Flooring, Castle Hill. My mum dealt with Ajmal and he could not have been helpful with the carpet selection, the price was the best of the quotes, and the carpet selected is great. The carpet was installed just before Christmas, Omar and Qais did the install, and they were fantastic, such a great job. We recommend Solomon's Flooring, Castle Hill Show details · 1

Never again – Booked, agreed to terms. At point of purchase all was good. Nice sales team and signed up. Layer arrived on time all was good. A large area todo. Not real impressed with the job and a large scuff mark down the wall confirms a roll of carpet is heavy. I understand that was accidental. I will fix that But if you think they are going to clean up… Read more
after themselves think again. Fluff and small offcuts everywhere. I cant believe they didnt at least throw the vacuum over the job when finished to make it presentable but that's on me, they never did say they would clean up after themselves. Guess I assumed incorrectly. But it got worse. We were told all strips/joins/ramps etc were included in the price. Was told the layer was going to report that he didnt have stock with him. Fair enough, it happens, someone would be in touch right ? Well wrong actually, had to annoy them over a couple of weeks to finish the job. Constantly told someone would be in touch but never happened until I pestered them over a couple of weeks. They had full payment by this stage. Credit to Tanya because it just wasn't happening until she got involved After annoying them for a couple of weeks they did come finish the job and everything was included as promised but was so annoyed in the end about broken promises, lack of communication that I will never go back. There was some good in dealing with them but feel they could have done so much better. Lonsdale/Reynella branch.

pushy. Sharp practice – their business acumen is waging on sharp practice. They want you to pay 100% up front, and pushy sales. Not sure I would use them again. Not the best communication either - it went from being 'plenty of stock' at quotation to 'not much around' when it came to order, so the advice was not constant. I found myself feeling I was in the hands of proper could not trust. I would not run my business they way they run theirs! Show details

Magnificent Job – I would highly recommend the services of Solomons Flooring and Carpet Flooring. At a time when there was a scarcity of labourers to lay the carpeting in our home the Boss along with a worker assisted in moving very heavy furniture - including a piano.

that the carpet would not be damaged. The person assigned to this job was extremely careful with our doors and most competent and precise in his trimming work.
Excellent Job!! – Highly recommend Solomons Flooring Willoughby for their fair price, extremely helpful and friendly service. George and his team are thoroughly professional. He did not charge me extra when they discovered the skirting boards were on top of the old carpet, extra work and tack strips. Not a single skirting board had been damaged. Exceptional installation job!! Show details · 1
