Sam and his team were terrific customizing and installing a stair runner over two flights of a curved staircase — everything from their service, communication, problem-solving, and skill were impeccable. Highly recommended!
I chose Safeway to install my carpet runner based on online reviews. Sam was incredibly helpful, very responsive, and did an excellent job. The runner looks amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Safeway to my family and friends.
Exceptional experience from start to finish! Communication was excellent and service was quick with fantastic quality. Our new staircase runner looks so good — we are so happy.
