We brought in a couple of older examples of existing flooring, and with an overnight's worth or research, they had very close matches by the next day. When we made the purchase, they hustled and really put in some effort to accommodate a rather tight deadline we had for installation.
The installers were really good at what they did, and we were pleased with their work. A couple of times they had to alter their schedule by a couple of hours, and they communicated promptly and clearly, it was never a problem.
Our floors are looking great and these folks were a pleasure to work with.
Diane was extremely helpful in our carpet selection process. She knew just what we needed for our purposes. She made a call while we were standing there and arranged for our home to be measured the following day. She also set up our installation for several days later which was incredibly fast. She really takes care of her customers and her installers are very responsive to her.
When the price ended up being higher than we counted on, because my measurements were lower than what was actually needed, Diane adjusted the price of the carpeting slightly to try and get it closer to what we wanted to spend. Would that ever happen at a big box home store? It is nice when someone works hard to gain your business.
The installers arrived exactly when expected. Our staircase was included at half the price Home Depot charges. Moving furniture (and putting it back exactly as they found it), cleanup, and vacuuming were all included in the installation price. I felt the prices were very reasonable for the services. Due to the size of the job, they came back the following day to finish. I requested that they come earlier than they normally would as we had company coming to town that day. They couldn't commit, but the next day they did make it at the earlier time. They brought an extra man so they could get everything finished in time for us to go pick up our company. I really appreciate their accommodation of my request.
It feels good when your business is appreciated--when you are not just another job number!
The pattern on the flooring made it look like the floor was buckling. No fault of the installer - just the way it looked in our kitchen. Our Sales Rep. allowed us to choose a new product and only pay for 1/2 installation. They really want happy customers and will go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied.
We called more than once to get resolution. Eventually they did send the installers back out to fix the problem which now looks good, but they never did answer our very basic question about returning the unused box of carpet tiles.
We were reluctant to give them another chance but asked them to bid on flooring for a fixer upper we bought a couple months later. Similar experience with good interaction up front and then total dropping of the ball afterward. Weeks later we're still waiting for a call back on a laminate style that was more our taste. When we went into the store people seemed attentive but as soon as we were out of sight we were clearly out of mind. Keep in mind this is for a $4,000+ flooring job.
I cannot understand or explain the other reviews. They have nothing in common with our experience.
During the installation of carpet squares, it was apparent there was a dark stain along one of the seams - apparently too much glue. The installers said it would dry clear.
The spot never did go away and they sold us way too many carpet squares so we wanted to get that fixed. So far they have ignored both my wife and my call about the matter even though the person who answered the phone said Chris Kemp was in the store. Eventually they sent the installers back to redo the carpet squares but they never did tell us how to return the extra carpet they sold us or whether that was even permitted.
And I would highly recommend the installers who were contracted by Kemp's Dalton West, Ronnie Griffin and son, phone 706-675-1157 home, 678-340-8102 cell. My house is full of heavy antique furniture and a parlor grand piano and they moved everything with care. They expertly stapled each board perfectly straight and installed the shoe mold with small gage nails making touch up easy. They were very careful to clean each area before and after the floors were in place. And the best part is that Ronnie took care of every squeaky spot in the base floor. I am so grateful !!!!
