"he was hired to put reinforcements on the roof to prevent leaking and it cost $12,000 worth of damage that needs to repair from another company. He was unqualified for this type of work and do not recommend. He did not have transportation."

"We are extremely disappointed with the hardwood floors sold by Moeen Niazi of Carpet & Flooring Liquidators of Pineville, NC, and installed by Axcel Gomez of Legacy Floor Services. We originally ordered 3.75-inch manufactured hardwood. Due to delays on the seller’s side, our closing was postponed. By the time we closed, Moeen Niazi informed us that they had sold the flooring we had ordered. The installer discovered that the 5-inch manufactured hardwood was defective. Moeen Niazi offered to install and finish unfinished hardwood floors at no additional cost. At no point, did Moeen Niazi or Axcel Gomez discuss the pros and cons of using different sealing materials on the unfinished woods. I only learned later that a salesperson should discuss different options in terms of look and durability, etc. We made it very clear to Moeen Niazi and Axcel Gomez that we needed to be in the house by Saturday, September 14. At no point, did Moeen Niazi or Axcel Gomez tell us that the work could not be completed in a timely or workmanlike fashion. Throughout the week of September 9, I visited the property every morning. The installation crew did not arrive before 11 a.m. On Wednesday, September 11, when I arrived at approximately 8:50 a.m., a crew member was there removing the sander for another job. As of Friday afternoon, the installation crew was still measuring and installing toe molding, and no polyurethane had been applied to the floor. Axcel Gomez subsequently stated that, it takes at least 24 hours between coats of polyurethane and, therefore, at this point there was no way they could be finished by Friday as promised. Axcel Gomez never informed us that they could not complete the job and/or that they needed more time. When I inspected the allegedly finished floors, I immediately noticed a milky/cloudy appearance in one of the rooms. In addition, Axcel Gomez failed to replace the covers on all of the HVAC covers. When I attempted to replace them myself, I discovered that all of the toe molding had been mis-measured and the HVAC did not fit. On Monday, September 16, I informed Moeen Niazi about my concerns, and he told me that he would have the in-house inspector at Carpet & Flooring Liquidators, Mickey Ledford, come out to take a look at the floors. On Friday, September 20, Moeen Niazi and Mickey Ledford came out to the property. Mickey Ledford barely said five words while he was there, and failed to answer my questions about what the installation process should have been and how long it should take. When I asked if the work could have been completed based on when the workers were present, he basically shrugged his shoulders. Moeen Niazi acknowledged that there were some rough patches, but told me that the milky/cloudiness was the result the light hitting the floor. Moeen Niazi offered to have Axcel Gomez come back to buff the floors. I paid $650 to have a certified NWFA inspector come out to inspect the floors. The independent inspection report confirmed the milky/cloudy appearance of the floors caused by solvent trap due to Axcel Gomez applying finish over stain, sealer, or finish before the previous coat had dried. As the floors have continued to cure the appearance has continued to degrade. White lines and cracks are appearing between and on the floor boards, and the finish is cracked/wearing off around where the nails were driven in order to secure the boards. I have also identified other debris in the finish, including dust and what appears to be a nail. Based on the condition of the floors, it is apparent that Axcel Gomez failed to follow industry practice: (1) they did not let the stain or sealer dry before applying the first coat of finish resulting in a cloudy appearance; (2) they did not sand and clean the floors between coats of finish which would have removed the debris and allowed the finish to adhere; and (3) they did not apply a second, and even perhaps a single coat of polyurethane finish, throughout the house."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

The cost to install flooring is $2,990 on average, but the price range is between $1,500 and $4,460. You can expect to pay about $12.50 per square foot, but that can go as high as $22 per square foot for hardwood flooring. 

Factors like the size of your floor, the materials, and your geographic location will impact the total price. For example, the average cost of new flooring in Boston is between $1,200 and $3,250 while you can expect to pay between $2,000 and $5,700 for new flooring in Los Angeles. 

While you certainly can install new flooring yourself, it may not always be the best idea. Since the condition of the floors is a significant component of your property’s value, it’s important that your project looks professionally done. If not, you run the risk of needing to have them replaced again before selling your home. If you’re looking to save money on the cost of floor installation, consider removing the old flooring yourself to save on labor costs.

Yes, you can negotiate the purchase price of new carpet. You may also be able to negotiate installation costs or other fees in addition to the per-foot pricing of the carpet itself. You may have better luck negotiating with an independent retailer (as opposed to a big-box store), as they may have more discretion in pricing, but it’s always worth asking.

Even if you’re just replacing your carpet and not your baseboards, experts recommend removing existing baseboards before installing new carpet. This allows for a clean and seamless installation without the risk of damaging the baseboards or the carpet. Additionally, removing the baseboards gives you the opportunity to stain or repaint them as well as inspect and repair any underlying issues with the walls or flooring.

The best underlayment for carpet on concrete is a sponge rubber underlayment. This type of carpet padding is durable enough to endure wear and tear on hard concrete yet soft enough to provide comfort underfoot. It also creates insulation from sound and temperature, providing warmth despite the concrete’s cold surface.
