Ipswich Floor Covering

Ipswich Floor Covering has been the flooring shop on South Main Street in Ipswich since 1988 — a showroom paired with an installation crew, where owner Stephen Ruest sells and lays wood, tile, carpet, vinyl, laminate, and cork. The company says it has been the town's leading flooring supplier and installer for 37 years. The online review trail is short but consistent. A recent 5-star Google review describes Stephen as a highly experienced, trained professional who is cordial, accommodating, and fair, with the reviewer saying they wouldn't have any other company in the area do their flooring. Across its handful of ratings the pattern stays uniformly positive. Beyond installing floors, the shop also offers oriental rug preservation and carpet and upholstery cleaning, so it functions as both a flooring store and a service business. Because it runs largely as a supplier as well as an installer, it's worth clarifying up front whether you want materials only or a full turnkey installation, and confirming showroom appointment times. For a homeowner on the North Shore who wants an established local shop to both source and install flooring — or to have rugs and carpets cleaned — this is a solid, long-tenured option. The main caveat is simply that the public review count is small relative to how long they've been in business.
