Highlights
- Long local history — a South Shore flooring showroom for 60-plus years
- Solid rating — 4.6 stars across 51 Google ratings
- Broad selection — carpet, hardwood, vinyl, and tile under one roof
- Installation finish — a complaint about seams and bulging on a carpet job
- Showroom-based — primarily a retailer that also installs, not install-only
General Flooring is a Weymouth showroom the South Shore has been walking into for decades — carpet, hardwood, vinyl, and ceramic tile all under one roof, with staff who help you choose and a crew that installs what you buy. The company says it's been a fixture on the South Shore for over 60 years, owned and operated by Weymouth residents Bill Bates and Dave Holbert, and it ties itself to the community through local charities, schools, and sports teams. On Google it holds a 4.6 average across 51 ratings, and the reviews lean warmly toward the in-store experience: a wide selection without the overwhelm, patient guidance from named staff, and installations customers were happy with. It's the kind of place people describe as the opposite of a big-box store — knowledgeable, local, and easy to work with. It's worth being clear about the model. This is primarily a flooring showroom and retailer that also offers professional installation of everything it sells, rather than a standalone installation-only contractor. If you want one place to both help you pick materials and put them down, that's what it does. The one caution: while most reviews are positive, the record isn't unanimous, and there's a complaint about the finish on a carpet installation. That's a reason to be specific about the install — confirm who's doing the work, ask about seams and transitions, and walk the finished job before you sign off. If you're on the South Shore or the Cape and want a hands-on, one-stop flooring showroom with installation included, General Flooring is an established local option. Bring measurements and photos for an in-store estimate, and pin down the installation details up front.

These guys were very helpful in diagnosing a separation I was having in my engineered wood flooring. Great local business, happy to have them around.

My husband and I were renovating our main bathroom and chose General Flooring for all our tile needs. We dealt with Bryson who was very accommodating. Unfortunately, the tile we had chosen, wasn’t available in the amount we needed. Bryson informed us and asked that we come back to the store and choose something else. When we arrived, Bryson had displayed for us several patterns he thought we would like in similar designs we originally chosen. We picked one and were delighted we were in and out so quickly. We received all our tile the following Wednesday, and our contractor was ready to proceed with the bathroom tiling. Upon completing most of it, he realized we were short 7 pieces of the bullnose. I called Bryson immediately and informed him of what happened. He got on the phone and within 10 minutes he called me back and told me we would have the missing pieces that afternoon. Sure enough, about two hours later a gentleman dropped them off! We were so pleased; Bryson and his team was very accommodating and made sure our experience was easy to get through. We certainly will tell all our friends to shop General Flooring for their tiling needs!
