I'm not sure where all of their reviews went, but there used to be reviews on google for Studs to Rugs. Not all of them were very friendly, and I wish we had listened. They charged and arm and a leg for what we thought would be great service. It wasn't. They made promises they never followed through on, took much longer to complete our project than originally projected, and constantly left the front door of our house unlocked. We had a jar of change that was raided, even though it was in a section of the house no workers had any business being in. The contractors working in our house were friendly enough, but the people at Studs to Rugs that we dealt with were impossible. We just had a really awful experience, though we weren't disappointed with the way the remodel of our bathroom and closet turned out for the most part. I just feel like they cut a lot of corners and didn't do as good a job as they could have for what we paid them.
