DID NOT SHOW FOR RESCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. I CALLED STEVE (THE REP FOR SAINT AUGUSTINE - WHO LIVES LESS THAN 1/2 MILE FROM MY HOME) AT THE TIME HE WAS SUPPOSE TO SHOW. HE SAID HE COULDN'T MAKE IT AND NEEDED TO RESCHEDULE. IF I HADN'T CALLED HIM I WOULD STILL BE WAITING. DURING OUR CALL HE GAVE ME A NEW DAY/TIME AND BEFORE THE CALL ENDED HE ALREADY CHANGED THE TIME AGAIN.
I TOLD HIM HE DID NOT NEED TO COME TO MY HOME AS I WILL BE USING SOMEONE ELSE. SOMEONE THAT IS DEPENDABLE, CONSIDERATE, PROFESSIONAL AND TRUSTWORTHY - NOT CARPET MAN!!!
TO BAD FOR STEVE AND CARPET MAN - I AM REPLACING 100% OF MY CARPET/FLOORING (APPROX. 3000 SQ. FT).
mother's small home. He recommend materials, produced samples, expedited orders and
coordinated every aspect of the installation tailored around my schedule and budget. He has execellent
communication skills and a talent for reading and responding to clients needs. He made everything
work and in a timely manor. I really could not find a downside with this experience so I would
highly recommend him and Carpetman Flooring.
We had a very good experience with the Carpet Man. Steve, the salesman, was recommended by a friend. He was extremely helpful. They had a very large selection of carpet at the store and it was a little daunting trying to whittle down the selection. We settled on a few different designs and a week later Steve came out to the house to show us our picks. He took measurements and presented us with a price. I thought it was a little high at first but he was able to sharpen his pencil and we came away with a good deal. I signed the contract and put down a $1000 deposit. I asked for a certain install date and that's the date we had the carpet installed.
The day of the installation went smooth. I already had the rooms cleared of furniture and the carpeting removed. This saved me about $1 per sq ft. The rooms were straight forward and didn't require any seams. The crew checked the tack strips all the way around and they did not waste anytime. I was very happy with their performance.
I told my story to the salesman. He immediately knew not to waste my and my wife's time showing us top grade carpet. He showed us some overstock sale samples, but none of these matched our color scheme. We found a medium grade carpet we liked. The salesman quoted the price of the carpet, pad, tack strips (indicating they would be glued rather than nailed), and installation by the square foot. I already had figured the approx. footage so I knew we were in the ballpark of my budget.
The next afternoon the salesman met me at the house, made a quick diagram of the area to be covered, and measured the rooms and closets determing the official square footage. I dropped the carpet store the next day, he showed me an invoice with the price and requested 50% down. I said I would give him a third down and he didn't quibble. The carpet was ordered.
On installation day the crew had to finish another job first so they remeasured the rooms, cut the carpet, and put it in the house. The crew chief made a comment he would drill the terrazo then drive the nails in. I said the salesman had figured the cost based on glueing. The crew chief said he had ran into trouble with the glue pulling loose when the carpet was streched. I indicated I actually preferred nailing, but didn't want the cost to increase.He said, no cost increase.
I said I would have to leave the house by 4pm, would they be back by then. He said he couldn't be sure and did I have a spare key they could use and leave it when they finished? I thought for a second - there wasn't anything of value in the house (I had already removed all my tools and gear) so I showed him where I wanted the key left. At 4pm, no crew.
The next morning as I got out of my car, I glanced through a window - and there was carpet. I checked and there was the key. I went through every room and closet finding the carpet streched tight, edges tucked and even, and I couldn't tell where the carpet was sewn together (like between the living and dining room). The carpet was raked, but there was a lot of loose loops from trimming - it had not been vacuumed. Also, I found a couple of scuffs on the baseboards which the fine print on the invoice stated The Carpet Man wasn't responsible for. These places aren't bad most rubbed off with a cleaner and I have some places I did that need touchups anyway. There were three doors that I had to cut off because there wasn't carpet in them originally - I expected this. I don't know how late the crew worked, but I was completely satisfied.
I called the salesman and told him I owed him some more money.
Would I recommend the Carpet Man? That depends - are you the handy-man type, or just fixing up to sell, have a low budget, etc. If you have an upscale home and expect a "turn key" installation, I thing you would be happier with another company. We have to have new carpet in our own home next year. Will we use The Carpet Man - hmmmm, that depends on how much wallpapering and painting my wife has me do till then.
