From the beginning to the end, Mariann was on top of the project. Even when it turned out we didn't have enough laminate, all I had to do was wait for a further order. She took care of coordinating delivery and the return of the crew to install it. The crews she engaged for the three steps (vinyl, laminate, carpeting) were considerate, knowledgeable and industrious, getting their respective jobs done on time. She apologized for the inconvenience (and didn't charge me anything more), and offered to work with me on the future purchase of an area carpet in that room, when I am ready.
The kitchen floor was the most difficult, owing to wooden sills that were flush with the linoleum. This meant that, upon removal of the existing linoleum, the layer underneath had to be scraped off the floorboard. This involved using power tools which kicked up a powerful amount of dust. The cleanup took me three days, as there was a coating of this dust on absoluvely everything in the kitchen, and a dusting of in adjacent rooms as well. I washed down everything, including boxes of pasta and bottles of spices in my pantries, and vacuumed the walls. It prompted me to finish painting the pantry interios, which had to be emptied (the only reason I didn't paint them with the rest of the kitchen earlier this year!), and this kind of propelled me into spring cleaning the likes of which the house hasn't seen in years. Not a bad thing, really. So glad I started with the kitchen, in retrospect, since I would otherwise have been mopping and vacuuming new laminate and carpet in adjacent rooms!
Overall, I was extremely pleased with her help, and am very happy with the result. I felt their pricing was lower than the competition I perused - which included Home Depot, Lumber Liquidators and Custom Carpet Center. [As an aside, I paid $35 to have HD measure my floors, as they had a Pergo laminate I was certain I wanted, which I mentioned to the woman who set up the measure. When I got the quote call, they couldn't give me a price, because the laminate was DISCONTINUED!! So, I basically threw $35 away. I cancelled the quote at the store, explaining that the material I wanted was no longer available, and they didn't offer to return my fee. Not happy about that. After all that,I wasn't about to have them install carpeting at a cost that included a $9 per stair charge - !! ]
