I HIGHLY recommend Essex Paint and Carpet. They did many projects for me years ago, all of which came out beautifully and were fairly priced. Many years later, John's son Joe, now at the helm, helped us in our new home. Once again, the true Vermonter way; excellent workmanship, fairly priced, quick turnaround, and outstanding customer service. Joe even provided names of other contractors for other projects having nothing to do with his business. They too did fantastic work. Buy local. Stop in at Essex Paint and Carpet. You won't be sorry.

Essex Paint & Carpet are the best. My husband and I love these guys. The sales folks are pleasant, helpful, and know their stuff. Their prices are reasonable. They carry great product lines. Even the contractors they work with love them (shout outs to Stuart and Luke who did recent tiling for us). Each job they do for us re-earns our loyalty!

Once again, we have had nothing but fabulous experiences with Essex Paint and Carpet!!! We had a carpet runner installed on our wood stairs and a backsplash for our kitchen installed! Jackie's assistance in choosing the right products and the installations were phenomenal!!!! The runner is absolutely gorgeous and the impact of a backsplash up to the ceiling makes a fabulous statement! They have both added such warmth and beauty to our townhouse!! Both installers (Marty and Stuart) were extremely skilled and professional! We look forward to using Essex Paint and Carpet for more projects and working with Jackie again! She is a gem!!! Thank you!!!

I would recommend Essex Paint and Carpet again and again Derek had several types of vinyl planking out for me to look at and walk on. His experienced knowledge made my choice easy. Todd did a beautiful job of installing the floor in the whole condo in 4 1/2 days, and patiently allowed us in during the installation. They will always be my go-to for any renovations.And a big plus for shopping with a local business who’s been in Essex for generations.

We had a great experience with Essex Paint and Carpet with a main bathroom remodel. The team in the office, and the tile install crew were all top notch. I even went with a grout recommended by Jackie, that I questioned, but LOVE!

I have used Essex Paint & Carpet for over 25 years for many of the projects I managed. I have also used them in the past at my own home and recently for new flooring and bathroom tiles. They are still top notch to me and and not overpriced. Highly recommend!

We appreciate Essex Pant & Carpet's guidance, ideas, and attention to detail that has made our new home great. We love the tile choices in the kitchen and bath, the shower shelves, the kitchen & bath counters, the flooring, and the slate around the fireplace. Everything works together beautifully. Our place feels contemporary, warm, and comfortable. If we ever have a need for tile, carpet, etc, we'll definitely be in touch.

Fabulous customer service from the first contact with John and Derek. The installers were professional, efficient, keep the area clean and went the extra mile to accommodate our needs. Derek kept us updated on install dates and the floors look fabulous. Best customer service we’ve had in a long time. Thank you so much - we will be return customers!

Essex Paint and Carpet is the ONLY place to get your new kitchen and bath flooring. Easy quick estimates and exceptional work. The installers are very efficient and knowledgeable. The floor looks fabulous and all scraps and debris was taken away. I would certainly recommend them to everyone

The crew (Derek, Jackie and John) at Essex Paint and Carpet helped us replace our flooring at our ski condo. They helped steer me towards a durable luxury plank to hold up to the short term renters, and had a quick timeline and install. Communication was on point. Couldn’t be happier. Love supporting local - and look forward to working with them for our other properties.

We recently worked with John and Derek to chose flooring and paint for our basement remodel. They were friendly, very responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Essex Paint & Carpet has a great selection of options and all of the staff are incredibly friendly and professional. We also had the flooring installed by them and they did a great job, we are very pleased with the whole process from start to finish. I would highly recommend going here for all of your flooring and paint needs. They are the best!

It is impossible to overstate how happy we are with Essex Paint and Carpet. We just had them install all new carpeting throughout our upstairs (four bedrooms, the stairs and hallway) and they were fantastic from beginning to end.Derek, who coordinated the whole project was so easy to work with starting with helping us through the selection process all the way through coordinating the installation team (during a pandemic, no less). Really, everyone in the shop was extremely helpful with getting the right carpeting picked for each room.The two men who did the installation, Todd and Nate, were also so easy to have here. For a project of that size, they were still able to minimize the disruption to us as we both worked from home. They were polite, efficient and thorough.I recommend them highly for your next project!

The employees are extremely nice and helpful but the owner is constantly grumpy and complaining. I ordered a $2000 real of high end wool carpet and he complained that "it would have been better if I had called to tell them I was picking up" He also never has a mask on inside and obviously doesn't care about the health of his customers or really customers in general. Plenty of other places to take my business and refer my clients.

Essex Paint & Carpet did luxury vinyl tile (LVT) install in my basement. Worked with Joe who came out right away to provide initial product recommendation and quote. After some checking around and finding they were competitive on price, I knew I wanted to work with someone providing such personalized service and now that the job is done I definitely made the right decision. Joe was great throughout the process making sure everything was taken care of, and Todd who did the resurfacing of the concrete and LVT install paid great attention to detail and cut in and around even the tightest corners. I highly recommend Essex Paint & Carpet and would use them again!

one star 8/12/2020: As a large Agricultural business we go through a lot of stain. We got a good discount (25%) on 12 gallons of stain through this company about six weeks ago. I called today to verify pricing on another 10 gallons and they confirmed my pricing on my account over the phone. When I drove into town to pick it up, an employee told me the owner said I was given too good of a discount the first time and they were only willing to offer me a 4% discount. As a business owner myself, I would never pull something like this on one of our own customers. It leaves me with a very bitter feeling about this company. I’d rather pay more at another store to be valued as a customer.EDIT: It was brought to my attention by Essex Paint & Carpet they sent me an email to let me know the pricing was no longer valid at 2:30pm the day I called at 11:45am. I did not see it in my spam filter. I got there some point after lunch but I'm not sure when. For the attempt to contact me I will raise my review from 1 star to 3. (They claim they called, but I have no missed calls). I will leave it at a 3 because of the measly 4% alternative discount, as well as because I feel bad for the male employee working who was helping four customers at once while the other employees were chatting and didn't offer to help him until he was almost done helping everyone. Perhaps if he wasn't over worked he wouldn't have made that error the first few times I bought stain.

We have gone to Essex Paint and Carpet for our painting, tile, and carpet needs for many, many years and two home owner-ships. They have installed both tile and carpet in our current home and advised us on numerous home projects we have chosen to tackle ourselves. We have been extremely pleased with the work they have done, with their advice on the work we have done, and with their products.

The service and help that I got was wonderful. The project went perfect from beginning to end. Great people to deal. I could not be happier.

I cannot say enough good things about the knowledge of the personnel and the quality of the work! Liz measured carefully and made a great recommendation for the carpet. Jeff and AJ were competent, careful, and neat as they did a perfect job of installation of carpet upstairs and down. Highly recommend this company!!

Had a house built by Sterling, and they used this company. I would never ever recommend this company to put in a floor or tile again. After the house was finished we found several defects in the floor. Why the installer used the boards for this laying the floor I have no idea, since we were left with plenty of extra floor boards. There are several long gouges in the floor the flooring, I can not believe he did not see them when he laid the floor. Trim on the stairs were cut to long and buckled within days of us moving in. Oh, to fix the gouges he would have to rip up the floor and remove the baseboards to get this done, but it was be our responsibility to put the baseboards back, paint them and attempt to make it look new. Our house is only 90 days old. The T- molding between the tile and flooring was installed incorrectly. I do not even think he swept the floor when he laid the flooring since there are lots of bumps. How I know this, is because on our previous house I put in wooden floors and vinyl. Also the tile in our bathroom, the tile is cracking.. who know what they are going to say about that.. I would never use them or recommend them. How they manage to fool people is beyond me.

I own a building with four apartments and my carpet installer recently retired, therefore I needed to find a new company to do business with. I talked with friends to find a new company to do business with and even went to Lowes and I was very unimpressed as I needed a new carpet installed before the end of the week. At 5:10 on a Monday evening I located Essex Paint & Carpet on the internet and gave them a call. They answered the phone....at 5:10 so I knew that it was going to be good. It was the owner, John, and I told him what I needed, he made a recommendation, I accepted and his crew was installing the commercial carpet the next morning! When you are in the apartment business you do not want vacant apartments and John at Essex Paint and Carpet made it happen. Thanks John

If I could give zero stars I would. My husband and I recently built a house and wanted to go to a small business instead of a big box store to get all of our flooring. We ended up picking out hallmark flooring (novella collection). The floors were never the problem the service was. After being told multiple times that the floors would be flush with our tile , once the floors were delivered , we quickly found out there would be a significant difference in height from the tile ...to the wood flooring. Let's just say I totally felt like Liz and the rest of the sales team got one over on me. When we called Liz over at EPC she argued with us the whole time that "she never said that" and went back and forth with us on who was right and the only solution she would give us was to ramp the tile up to the wood flooring so it would be flush. Nothing like putting a band aid on a brand new house. We ended up having to buy underlayment for under all of the wood floors which was quite pricey and EPC refused to even cut the cost with us or even do anything for that matter to make the situation better. Not to mention that these Hallmark floors need a SPECIAL NAIL GUN to install them. That was another extra cost they never told us. Overall, I believe in great customer service over anything and that was never the case here. I would never refer anyone to EPC. See More

Essex Paint and Carpet's entire staff is made of nice and knowledgeable people. There was no "hard sell" involved when I went to ask about tile shower materials.Devin was able to explain all the product lines they carried, and also explain the entire install process.Stuart was an expert installer, very comforting to have him arrive at our home and do the work. He was courteous, clean, and efficient.Joe was great about the follow-up. He did a final inspection and verifed of our satisfaction with the job.We were very impressed with Essex Paint and Carpet.
