"[Member Name Removed], thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We truly appreciate it. And thank you for sharing some pics of the install, it turned out beautiful! It was our pleasure to work with you and we hope you enjoy your new flooring!"
The tilers, Jose and Anthony, were perfectionists. They were meticulous in their measurements as well as the cutting and placement of tile. They took pride in their work, taking as much time as necessary to get the job done and to do it right -- a characterisitc you don't see often these days. When they removed the previous tile, they took precautions to help ensure important areas of the house (e.g., kitchen counters) were covered in plastic so as to minimize tile dust, even going as far as to placing large pieces of masking tape over the kitchen sink drain so that dust would not seep into the garbage disposal.
Moreover, the tilers checked the weather forecast and, knowing it could rain, took extra measures to cover items at risk (e.g., treadmill), which had been placed on the covered patio.
The project (customer care) manager, Candido, was at my house daily to check on the status of the job and provide assistance where needed. His attention to detail was impressive. The team kept me in the loop as to the plan for the day and even offered to grab food/drinks from the kitchen for me when I was unable to enter the kitchen due to installation.
To be honest, I wasn't particularly looking forward to the job, knowing my life would be in disarray for 1-2 weeks. While I had to spend the days in my bedroom behind a closed door with my cats and limited provisions, I can honestly say that I enjoyed having the tilers at my house.
Everyone on the Western States' team seemed genuinely passionate about their work. I looked forward to seeing the big smiles of Jose and Anthony when they arrived every morning, and in spite of the inconvenience, I found that I missed their enthusiasm and "positive energy" after the project had been completed.
Western States made me feel special, and they treated my home as if their own. From a workmanship and customer service standpoint, I could not have asked for more.
The finished floor looks great! I am grateful I chose this company for my tile, which I will enjoy for many years to come.
The installer apparently did not think to place a towel over the carpet tack strip while lifting the strip to avoid the rusted carpet
tacks from popping out and flying into other areas of the home. The next morning, I discovered the rusted carpet tack
while stepping barefoot on a rusted carpet tack, fortunately without injury.
Paint provided to me by Home Depot for painting the quarter rounds was taken from the site by the installer.
Home Depot told me Friday night I would receive a call back from their flooring associate the next morning. When I called Saturday morning, the flooring associate did not know of my call the previous day.
The following Monday, Western States Flooring returned the paint, repaired the planks, and completed the toilet installation.
"Our goal is to ensure that our customers have a great experience with us throughout their project. As with any type of construction sometimes there are variables we are not aware of. When reinstalling an existing toilet there are times that a leak may develop that we are unaware of as described with this project. The character of a company like ours, is shown by how we handle these situations when they arise. We returned to this home and repaired the issues caused by the leak, and resolved the situation. Additionally we returned the touch up putty material that was mistaken packed up with our own materials the day we left the jobsite. We have reached out to the customer to see if there is anything else that needs to be resolved with this situation, however have not received a call back at this time. We are comfortable stating that we did everything possible to correct the situation and leave the customer with the finished project they were expecting."

"“ Our records indicate that this installation was performed almost 2 years ago. We have no record of any contact over the last 2 years from our customer regarding the concerns. We stand behind our work and want to ensure every customer is happy with their project. We have left a message for the customer to contact us immediately so that we can resolve any concerns with this project. We will continue to contact the customer daily until we are able to reach someone.”"
- After some delay (because my husband was having back surgery) the new carpet was ordered, installed and looks wonderful. The installation team was efficient, neat and friendly. Aric Prickett was very involved and helpful in making the situation right for us. We are most thankful and pleased with Western States Flooring. We, most definitely, would use them again.
"Called the customer and left a voice message on 4/14/14 at 12:45 PM. We want our customer to be happy with their purchase. If you are not happy with the color please give us a call and we can have you pick a different color and take care of this. I am sorry you were not happy with the sales person. I can tell you the samples in this display are current and not 5 years old. The color you picked is a popular one so none are in the case at this time. Please give me a call at 480-346-4114. So we can assist you in making a new color choice so you will be happy with the flooring that will be in your home for a long period of time. Sharon Nitti"
I Highly Recommend Western States Flooring!
Across the two years of Western States contract I encountered a variety of underqualified techs who centered on high pressure sales methods that were so focused that service was comprimised. I expressed this to the Management in a personal visit to their offices in the first year. Their response was positive, offering new inspections to replace the 'sales calls'.
The breaking point was this year in June when one of their techs wanted me to sign off after 15 minutes of outside compressor pressure checks, one of which he was unable to accomplish. I told him he had not gone upstairs to check either of the air handlers, and that most inspections included cleaning the airhandler filters. He claimed that he had already checked their performance from outside, using his volt-ohm meter. I told him that was impossible. Begrudingly he said he would clean the filters, but that I would have to reinstall them because he had five more calls to make this afternoon. I told him to leave the premises; that he would not get a signature today.
Meanwhile I called the Western States offices to complain again. It was lunch time and I got a recording. So I called the cell phone of the President. He has always been helpful in getting more attention to details, but this time he was on vacation; offered to correct it soon.
Soon was when the tech returned to my house demanding to finish the job. He was denied; proceeded to yell insults thru the locked door.
After numerous attempts to negotiate with the President regarding the remaining refund value I was denied and offered a pittance. My position is that I tried diligently for two years to get the promised value from my service contract; when I terminated due to poor quality and no service Western States goes back two years and deducts all discounts, reducing my refund to $67. This refusal to take responsibility for promised customer service assures me my action is warranted in terminating them.
"This review should have been put on Western States Home Services page, Western States Flooring is our sister Company and has not, to my knowlege, done Business with this customer. That being said, I have spoke with (member) on this matter and have offered him a refund. We do have Policies to follow and they do state we do not offer refunds past 30 days of the initial contract date. I went out of Policy and offered him what I could, it also states: all costs for parts and service rendered prior to the date of cancellation will be applied against the cost of the agreement. These policies have been communicated to Mr. Walters. I have copied our two policies that apply. Cancellation. Either party may cancel this agreement by providing 30 days written notice. Agreement is tranferable to a new homeowner when services is established with the Company. After 30 days from invoice date there is no refund of this agreement. If a refund is warranted by only an officer of the Company, all costs for parts and service rendered prior to the date of cancellation will be applied against the cost of the agreement. Conditions of Coverage. Upon initial visit by technician, system will be inspected for compliance with company criteria. Items determined necessary to bring up to this criteria will be the responsibility and expense of the customer and agreement will not be applicable until criteria are met. If, upon inspection, the equipment covered ceases to meet acceptable standards for continued coverage, all costs for parts and service rendered prior to the date of cancellation will be applied against the cost of the agreement. Any remaining balance will be refunded to the customer. Regards, Eric Seifer Office Manager Western States Home Services 480-346-4147"
Once we decided on the color and style, a technician(?) came to our house to measure the room dimensions. He was very professional and courteous. The carpet was installed a few days later. The installer was also very professional and helped conceal some cables that we had running along the floor edges.
Overall it was a good experience and we are happy with the purchase.
