We had two separate flooring installations completed by G.Fried recently, vinyl tile in our loft and carpeting on a spiral staircase. Both installs couldn’t have gone better. The workers were professional, courteous and very detailed oriented. My wife appreciated how mindful they were of minimizing dust during the installs and the clean up they did when the work was completed. The vinyl tile work was done over one and a half days by one person and the result looks great. Carpeting the spiral staircase was a very challenging job and required exacting attention to detail. (Lowes wouldn’t even bid on the job because it was ‘out of scope’ of what they were comfortable doing.) We were very impressed with the final product and wouldn’t hesitate recommending G. Fried.

Dimitri, Joseph and Tim were the great professional group who did our installation. Efficient, courteous, professional and answered are many questions about our flooring. Never seen such expert craftsmen. They were a joy in having in our home and felt so comfortable with the team. We highly recommend you ask for Dimitris team. They definitely know what they are doing. We feel so fortunate for a flawless installation. Thank you - Sally

G. Fried is the best carpet and flooring store in Sarasota. They have been around forever and it is because they put service first. Elaine was so professional and did not miss a detail. The installers worked with us to insure a timely and perfect install. It is so refreshing to deal with a company this professional and fair. Their carpet selection has something for everyone from the basic to high end designer brands. 5 Stars *****

Our experience was FABULOUS!! From the minute I walked in the door, my sales person Elaine was super helpful and courteous. She helped me with options to blend with our existing carpet (as the carpet we presently have is no longer made), she provided a great price, and gave me all of the timing issues that would need to be coordinated. I went to 4 other carpet locations. I was greeted by sales people...but they didnt give me the comfort I felt from Elaine. Then came the installers. Chris and Robbie are WONDERFUL gentlemen! Punctual. Nice. Great sense of humor. Easy going. And most of all SUPER hard working!!! My house project was an all day affair, and they worked so diligently to get everything perfect. Im from a small town in Wisconsin, where people CARE about the service and product they provide. This felt very similar to my experiences in my home state.We LOVE the carpet, the cost, the installation process, and all of the people I worked with. My husband was so pleased to see such a great job done. If I could give these people 1,000 Stars...I would. Thank you for bringing new life to our home at an affordable cost.

I highly recommend G.Fried Flooring.I recently had two bedrooms carpeted in a beautiful Karastan soft pile carpet, and it looks FANTASTIC!.Because of G. Fried’s excellent reputation, I felt confident when I walked into the showroom. The sales rep, Elaine Hinkley, was wonderful in helping me choose the carpet. She showed me many selections, and I was able to take samples home - not just little pieces either, but large pieces so that I could really visualize how the new carpet would look.G. Fried sent a person to measure the rooms exactly and figure out the best places for the seams. By his attention to detail, I knew the carpet was going to fit perfectly.The installers, Chris and Robbie, were also outstanding. They were meticulous in the prep work: removing the old carpet and pad and preparing the floor right down to the concrete. I knew I would have a beautiful result when I saw that prep work.I am very pleased with the whole process- the selection and price, the installation, and the beautiful result. I highly recommend G. Fried Flooring.

Renovations can be a bit stressful but G Fried made the flooring component of my remodel a totally stress free experience. I was impressed with the amount of care and time my sales person, Jacci, took to make sure everything was chosen, ordered and coordinated correctly.Mark with scheduling provided excellent communication. I could not have been more impressed with my installer Vitale, who provided such a meticulous installation you would have thought he was installing the flooring in his own home. The professionalism and courtesy of this company wowed me and I am so happy with the result.

Excellent service and product quality. Elaine was very knowledgeable about the flooring products and helped us make our selection without any pressure. Scheduling was prompt and reliable. The installer, Vitaly, was outstanding. He was highly experienced, meticulous, hardworking, and conscientious and did a great job removing the old carpet and tile and installing the new flooring.

We attempted to work with anouther carpet company before finding G. Fried flooring. They never followed up, never called to schedule an appointment, etc. Once we found G. Fried, Ben (our salesperson) did a great job explaining the different grades of carpet and padding to us. He wasnt pushy or trying to upsell, but instead made us feel comfortable that we had all the information we needed to make a great decision.Once we put our deposit down, the measurer could not have been a nicer and more professional guy. The scheduleer then called us who was also great about explaining the lead time and install process. He also called us back a few days after our initial call to let us know that the install was going to be delayed a week (which was awesome since many people dont call and just dont show up...).The installers showed up on-time, did their job in a professional fashion and were in and out in two days. The installation is beautiful and we couldnt be happier with G. Fried. They were a pleasure to do business with and treated us professionally at every step of the way.

We are very satisfied with LVP flooring installed in one master bedroom, one guest bedroom and den and three closets of our newly bought condo.Elain in sales helped us in choosing right flooring material and explained the benefits and difference among varieties of flooring. She is nice and never tired of her attention to our questions and moving around of samples.Vitaliy, the installer did amazing job, clean and neat. Only three days, from taking out old carpets to final cleaning up. He is a truly professional. If you chose G. Fried, it will be your luck to get he to do your installation.We 100% recommend G. Fried (among 6 flooring companies we visited in Sarasota)..Thanks Elaine and Vitaliy!

OMG... ALAN SCHNEIDER who happens to be the owner, was my sales representative. Alan to the time AFTER coming to my home to assess my needs and measure my floors, came back with MORE SAMPLES after I had picked out some and was NOT sure of my selection. He saved me around $900.00 on my wood flooring and helped me pick a QUALITY CARPET that FIT MY BUDGET!! Alan sent his A TEAM to my house. They were the hardest working men ever! HONEST, PROFESSIONAL & went ABOVE THE CALL of DUTY to HELP me a recent widow to move the HEAVY FURNITURE that I could NOT MOVE or get anyone to help me with.Folks, I have lived in Brandon all my life 67 years. I know MANY people. ALL of them will tell you I AM A STRAIGHT SHOOTER. I DO NOT MINCE WORDS. To be honest, do NOT RIGHT many reviews. HOWEVER, G.FRIED FLOORING AMERICA located at 231 BRANDON TOWN CENTER, Close to Honey Bake Ham, IS ABSOLUTELY AN PUTSTANDING PLACE TO CONDUCT YOUR BUSINESS!!!!! I have been trying for 3 hrs. this a.m. to post pictures on another site unsuccessfully. BUT ILL TELL YOU THIS....I AM TICKELED PINK WITH MY NEW FLOORS & CARPET!! AND THATS A FACT JACK!! OOOO I Can put pics here!! Yeah Yeah

Cannot give enough praise to G.Fried Sarasota. Elaine provided excellent guidance and pricing information without any pressure to buy. She provided the information necessary for us to make our carpet choice for master and one guest bedroom, plus the bedroom closets. The gentleman that came to measure was polite and efficient. Took his time and obviously did an excellent measuring job. Robby and Chris were tremendous carpet installers. Moved what needed to be move and when complete replaced everything to its place. Could not be happier with the entire process from choosing to installation/clean-up. Great TEAM G.Frlend, thank you.

Excellent service from the store. Elaine was most helpful and professional.Chris the installer, and his colleague were magnificent, working non stop, great attitude and went beyond their normal task to help two aged people reinstate all the furniture and accessories back in the study and main bedroom, after completing the carpet installation..Exemplary workers and a great credit to your organisation.Bryan Langton

We were very pleased with our salesperson, Russ York who showed us options for bedroom flooring. We went back-and-forth with hardwood/laminate or carpeting and settled on carpeting for the bedroom. Russ was very informative and efficient, and had all the paperwork ready for us to make the purchase. He arranged for delivery in a timely manner.The young men who came to install were on time, polite, cheerful and went right to work. We now have lovely new carpeting under our feet. Our thanks to everyone we dealt with at G. Fried especially Russ !

My husband and I have been dealing with G. Fried since we moved to Sarasota about 19 years ago. We recently went there to have an area rug made and found the same quality service as when we first went to them. Andre Pounds, our sales consultant, was a pleasure to work with - he is the consummate professional, his top concern being customer satisfaction. G. Fried is definitely the place to go for all of your flooring needs.

Elaine Hinkly was the best sales person In flooring that I have ever met. She brought a sample to my home with my new kitchen cabinets and let it there for a few days for me to review. Just one! Amazing that she picked the right one. She was awesome and very helpful in her knowledge of flooring. The installing group was also top-notch. Got my kitchen and entryway done in two days. They were very kind and considerate and clean. I will use G Fried Flooring for all of my future needs. Thank you for a great sales people and installers. It was an awesome experience and my house looks brand new!❤️👏

I am a firm believer in bestowing compliments for a job well done above and beyond. From the moment my wife and I entered the doors of G. Fried Flooring, we were greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable sales rep, Jackie Shovlin. As you can imagine with all the choices out there, Jackie was able to guide us and help us narrow the possible choices. Being able to take samples home was an added benefit. Despite COVID19 negotiating the install date was hassle free. The installers, Vitaliy and Andrii were respectful, professional, skilled, detailed oriented, kept a clean workspace, and beyond that they did an incredible installation! Our 2 guest bedrooms look amazing! Thank you to all the staff that worked together to make this a most pleasant experience. We will highly recommend G. Fried Flooring without hesitation.

I wish every experience was as smooth as the one we had with G. Fried. Andre was knowledgeable and amazingly patient while we tried to decide on the perfect floor for us...what a professional. The installers were just an extension of Andres service....not only were they highly competent at their craft, they were clean, organized and kept us in the loop through the entire process. I will never go anywhere else for any of my future Flooring needs.....thanks G. Fried

We recently had coretec plus HD vinyl flooring installed in Smoked rustic pine. It is in our family room. We are very pleased with how it looks and it was installed in less than a full day with out any issues. Installers were very efficient and friendly. They did a great job. Working with the staff at G Fried was a pleasure. We will definitely be back in the future for other flooring needs. Thanks so much!

Review №32

Very disappointed. Went with G Fried despite higher prices because I wanted to make sure everything went smoothly for my elderly mother. First the sales lady got very defensive and snappy when I asked what square footage she was using. She made a mistake in her addition, which I alerted her to, even though it cost us more. Without the square footage, I had no way to verify that the measurements themselves were correct. That was not the big problem, however. After spending hours moving everything except for the largest pieces of furniture out of the bedrooms, the carpet was installed.....with a very visible flaw right down the middle of the master bedroom and another issue with the seam that ran the length of the room (dye lots of the two pieces didnt match). They had apparently not noticed either issue while cutting the carpet at the warehouse. The installers noticed the flaw but installed the carpet anyway as they figured it would be awhile before the problem could be corrected. We had to put everything back in place as they were starting on all the other floors that were getting new laminate flooring. When the new carpet came in, we had to go through the whole packing up and moving procedure again. We were basically told, Things happen. Unfortunately, things only got worse: After carefully boxing up china and other decorations and moving all smaller items from the living room, dining room, breakfast area, laundry room, etc., the laminate was installed. The installer did not point out that the electric outlet in the floor would be an issue, and it stood up a considerable amount above the floor, creating a significant trip hazard. That was minor, however, compared to the fact that after we had put everything back in place, which took a lot of time, the floor began squeaking. The squeaking got worse over time. It turned out they had had the same problem previously with this particular flooring....yet had still gone ahead and sold it to us. Eventually it was decided they would have to pull it all up (which required packing up everything again, including the large china cabinet) and glue each board to the next. That did seem to solve the problem and we then had to put everything back again. This was not the painless experience I envisioned and contracted for for my 89 year old mother. Not once did we get a sincere apology. I suggested it would be nice if the company paid to have the base boards painted since they had pulled the new ones off the walls nicking them up a bit, but the request fell on deaf ears. The whole experience was very disappointing and frustrating. The job cost over $10,000. At least it looks good now though.

It was a pleasure doing business with GFried and Alan Schnieder . Alan was great he met with me several times, made sure I had an ample selection of samples to choose from, and was flexible and easy to work with . He never made me feel bad for changing my mind either ! His installers for both the vinyl planks and carpet were professional. The quality of work was excellent . A BIG. Thank to Alan for reassuring me through the bumps in the remodel . You said to me more than once, “ don’t worry about it we’ll take care of it “ even when it was not your responsibility. To me, that’s the very best of customer service ! Highly reccomened!

G. Fried installed CoreTec Plus HD flooring in all of our main rooms; living, dining, kitchen, family room, back hallway, bathroom and laundry room. This experience was amazing from our first interaction with our customer service representative Elaine, to Mark the scheduler, to Vitale our installer. Elaine greeted us when we walked into the door, listened carefully to our needs, answered all questions, allowed us to take home samples, and was always available when we had questions. The product is beautiful. Vitales craftsmanship, respect for our home, and customer service was unmatched. We love doing business with local companies and this was an outstanding experience. Thank you!!! Linda and Dave
