Manley’s Carpet Supplies & Service — now operating as Manley’s Flooring — is a second-generation, family-owned flooring supply house and workroom located at 65 Railroad Avenue in West Haven, Connecticut. The business was started in 1969 and ownership passed to Bob and Andy Manley in 1984, making it one of the longer-established flooring operations in the New Haven area. The business has operated continuously under family ownership for more than five decades.
What makes Manley’s unusual in the flooring category is that it functions as both a supply house and a professional workroom — meaning it serves both the trade (flooring installers, interior designers, contractors, property managers) and direct retail customers. For professional installers, Manley’s stocks carpeting, padding, vinyl flooring, rubber flooring, stair treads, wall base, laminate wood, VCT (vinyl composition tile), cement patch and self-leveling products, installation tools, and accessories. That inventory breadth positions Manley’s as a one-stop sourcing option for flooring professionals in the region.
The workroom side of the business offers carpet binding, wide bindings, serging, fringing, leather edging, and tapestry finishing — specialty services that are difficult to find through standard flooring retailers. These capabilities make Manley’s a resource for unusual or custom projects, including applications like boat carpeting (a niche that most workrooms decline), area rug finishing, and specialty wall-to-wall installations that require custom edge treatment.
The company carries a wide product range including engineered hardwood, tile, carpeting, vinyl, and luxury vinyl planks, serving residential and commercial properties ranging from private homes to schools, workplaces, places of worship, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Their geographic reach extends across the Northeast, and their early opening hours are specifically structured to accommodate trade customers who need materials before their own job sites open.
For Connecticut flooring professionals and homeowners looking for a workroom-capable supply house with a multi-decade operating history in the New Haven area, Manley’s Flooring offers both the inventory and the specialty services that distinguish a trade-focused flooring operation from a typical retail store. The company’s longevity and second-generation ownership reflect the kind of continuity and reliability that professional installers and project managers tend to value in a supplier relationship.
