I’ve been a customer of Kaoud Rugs for many years and was always very satisfied with their selection, quality and exceptional customer service. Recently I worked with them to install wood flooring in a bedroom and family room, complete with new rugs, to replace some older wall to wall carpeting. I wasn’t aware that they also did wood floors and again I was very impressed with the level of quality, and over the top customer service. I highly recommend them for carpets, rugs, and now wood floors!
