Moriarty & Gordon Flooring SuperStore Inc

"We install what we sell" is the line Moriarty & Gordon leads with, and it is the thing that matters most here: this is a Danvers showroom whose own crews do the installing. Yes, there is a 4,000-square-foot floor of samples off Endicott Street — vinyl and linoleum, carpet, tile, hardwood, stair runners and area rugs — but the company says the installers who lay it are its own in-house, licensed and insured staff, not subcontracted crews. That distinction is the whole reason a homeowner would call them rather than a big-box store. The company describes itself as family-owned and operated and says it has served Danvers, Beverly, Peabody and the wider North Shore since 1994. It is also listed as a member of the Danvers Chamber of Commerce. The reputation is small but consistent. Google carries a 4.7 average across 35 ratings, and the written reviews that exist across several directories tell one story with little variation: people pick a floor in the showroom, a crew arrives, the job gets done, and the handoff between the two halves of the business is what customers keep mentioning. Carpet in bedrooms, tile in bathrooms and foyers, laminate and hardwood in kitchens — the jobs described are ordinary residential floors rather than large renovations. The written history is thin in absolute terms, though: a handful of reviews spread across many sites rather than a deep, single-source record, and the Houzz page in particular is close to empty, one rating and one bathroom project. The one recurring snag has nothing to do with the installation and everything to do with the material. A customer who spent hours selecting bathroom tile was told seven to ten days, then learned the tile had gone on back-order for two months. If your project has a hard date, get the lead time on your specific product confirmed in writing before you commit, and ask what the substitute looks like if it slips. Worth calling if you want one company to both sell you the floor and put it down, particularly for carpet, tile, vinyl or hardwood in an existing home. The company advertises free estimates that include material and installation, and says its labor carries a one-year guarantee — pin down what that covers, and the availability of the exact product you choose, before signing.
