The guys that installed did a good job.
"Hi [member name removed]- It was an absolute pleasure meeting with the two of you in your home back in November and I appreciate the genuine hospitality and friendliness that you both had to offer. I am one of the founders of this company and I personally pour my entire hearty and soul into making sure that each and every single one of our customers are happy with us long after the sale and installation of their new floor covering. In addition, I consider our Angie's List customers to be our most prized VIP customers out of all because of our wonderful relationship we have with Angie's List and their members. It is my personal privilege and responsibility to make sure we do absolutely anything and everything to make sure that you feel well taken carpet of for the next several years while you enjoy the new carpeting that my company installed in your home a few months ago. Anytime a room exceeds 12 feet in width, there unfortunately has to be a seam to bind the two pieces of fabric together. In your particular case, the layout of your front living room in connection with your hallway dictates that there would need to be a seam dead-smack in your main walk area or else towards the center of the room. In either case the seam on a flat Berber carpet is never completely invisible just like it wouldn't be invisible on any other fabric such as a pair of pants or even the nicest quality dress shirts. Because we offer an industry exclusive LIFETIME INSTALLATION WARRANTY to all of our residential consumers unlike any of our local competitors, we find it absolutely imperative to make sure the seams are all done in a professional manner and placed within industry specs that will provide the least likelihood of problems down the road over the years to come. If for any reason what so ever the seam is failing in any way, I want to make sure that we get out there right away to take care of it for you. My job is to make sure you are both happy with our quality and service long after the sale and installation has taken place. I would like to offer you my personal cell phone number so that you can contact me directly at any time if you have any concerns about your new flooring. I treat our customer like they were my very own family and want to make sure you are completely satisfied in every way possible. Please feel free to give me a call at your convenience so I can get to the bottom and resolve any issues you may be experiencing with your new carpeting. My direct cell phone is (586) 823-9459 and I am here for you any time. Sincerely, Joe Zago President The Carpet Guys, LLC. (800) 375-7847"
This team has the Old School work ethic, and I was blessed to have hired them. I even reqeusted lawn signs after the job was complete for both houses because I want to get the word out about them. We recently moved to this house, and shortly before Carpet Guys started the job here, I was widowed suddenly and was left alone with this house and one to sell. I never mention my newly solo status to any of the tradesmen I interview for the work I need done.. The experiences were not always good until I met The Carpet Guys. Two tradesmen were unscrupulous beyond expression, a couple were not terribly professional, and one said he would have to talk to the "man of the house" before "letting" me sign the contract. Most of them wanted me to buy extended warranties, more product, etc. I did a LOT of reserach on everything I was having done. The salesman for the Carpet Guys came in, did his job well, never pressured me, and it was a done deal before he left. The crew worked around adverse conditions and wanted reassurance that I was happy with the work. This is a no-brainer: these are the guys to hire.
We chose The Carpet Guys from among the three companies contacted, largely because they seemed the most dedicated to satisfying the customer and because they always power-stretch the new carpet. We were very pleased that Don, in order to make it possible for the carpet to be ordered, received, and installed within our timeframe, offered to come back to my mother's at a late hour to write up the order, after what previously had been his "last" appointment for the evening.
We received a phone call giving us a "heads up" that the carpet would be installed on the morning of December 20th. The installation crew arrived on time, moved all the heavy furniture pieces, and did a very nice job laying the new pad and carpet. We paid the exact amount of the estimate.
Later that day I noticed marks on the baseboards, which occurred during the installation and which I believed would require that the baseboards be repainted, I phoned Don. He arrived within hours. I was shown how the marks on the baseboard could be removed relatively easily, without the need to repaint.
I'm quite pleased with the carpet, especially around the poles (it almost looks like the lifted the pole and cut a hole in the carpet to lay it in, no seams at all). They removed the old carpet and pad from the stairs and replaced it. Overall, the job took roughly 6 hours. We had about 800 sq. ft., a dry bar, 3 poles, 3 drain cleanouts. They did a great job going around the obstacles.
Initially the installers were going to carpet right over the old ratty carpet that was on the stairs. A quick call to our salesperson fixed that problem. After laying the new carpet, they showed it to my wife and proceeded to walk on it with their wet shoes. I'm surprised they didn't wear booties, but not no dirt on the carpet.
Even with that (relatively minor) issue, I would definitely use them again. I'm going to need some floor refinishing and/or carpet in the near future, and they will be my first phone call.
Update - We discovered that when laying the stairs on the carpet, the installers inadvertently cut the wire that went to the interior garage door opener by our back door. Joe (who I presume is the owner) and the installers came back out, apologized, said they were having a bit of a rough day (it was a lousy, rainy day on installation day), and fixed the problem.
Initially, I had professionalism at a B for the couple of minor issues on install day, but because of the prompt fix and professional apology and follow up for the cut wire, I changed it to an A.
I would highly recommend them and use them again without hesitation!
