Shower/Tub Tile Installation: Neo and his crew were timely and very pleasant. The tile work was well done and looks great. After the work was done, there were a couple of areas that needed some attention. Tina contacted Neo and he came out right away and took care of those last few details. The tile looks wonderful. Carpet Installation: As for the installation of the carpet, it was excellent. We have a lot of big furniture including a piano. They had no trouble getting everything moved around and did an amazing job. No walls scratched, no damage to furniture, and they cleaned up before they left. We were very impressed. We would highly recommend Carpet Outlets of Texas. The price,quality of product and service were excellent. Tina worked with us and helped make what was a stressful time much easier. All the staff we communicated with responded quickly and professionally.

As of 12/25, the hard wood floor has been installed for 2 days. Now that the floor is installed, it's nice. Getting Home Solutions to install the floor was a nightmare. Took Home Solutions 3 weeks to get the installation scheduled for Tuesday, 12/16. Installer arrived on 12/16 and left without doing anything. He said he didn't have the proper equipment to do the installation. Another installation crew came out on Thursday, 12/18, removed the carpet in the dining room and hallway. Found floor still had some original laminate. Crew left after removing carpet saying the original laminate needed to be removed and they could not continue until the laminate had been tested for asbestos. Also said the floor would need additional prep work for approx. $200 more to "level" the floor. Spent over $300 on same day asbestos test. Sent asbestos results to Home Solutions and installation was scheduled for Monday, 12/22. Installer came out on Monday, 12/22. Looked at the original laminate and said it didn't need to be removed. He installed the hard wood over the original laminate and without additional prep work. Floor looks great.
Carpet installation was scheduled for 12/24. Installers arrived and 1 walked through the 4 rooms that are to be carpeted (living room, 3 bedrooms and 1 hallway). Installer called Home Solutions complaining about having to move furniture. We paid Home Depot an extra $150 to have the furniture moved for the new carpet install. Installer was so obnoxious and unreasonable that I asked him to leave. I called Home Solutions and Home Depot and expressed my frustrations and displeasure with the whole experience we've had with Home Solutions. Carpet installation is now scheduled again for Monday, 12/29. Home Depot has had our money (paid cash) for 4 weeks and still no carpet. I'll never use Home Depot again because of Home Solutions abysmal lack of service.

I hired him and we settled on a date and time for installation. I had to wait for several days for the carpeting to arrive from his supplier. The installation team arrived a bit late on the day of installation. However, they were excellent and moved all of my furniture, removed the old flooring and cleaned the concrete well before putting down the new carpet. They vacuumed the new carpet before putting the furniture back just the way I wanted it to be. Mr. Robinson didn't come until the next day to inspect the work when I really thought he should have come that same day.

"Hector and his entire team are the real deal. This was a big renovation and as all renovations go, we did have a bump in the road. The difference with Hector, how the bump was handled. He always remained calm and had a big smile yet made sure the work was done and he always made sure the sub contractors respected our property and us, since we remained in the home for the entirety of the project. My kitchen turned out exactly as I envisioned and I believe that was because Hector stopped by every day to check on progress, tell me what we could expect that week and give me a heads up as to what items he needed me to make a decision on or purchase. We still have a master bathroom to renovate and we will not hesitate to call Hector and his team to come in when we are ready."

"TLDR: GRS Pro’s lied to us for over a year about starting our project, tried to knowingly submit fraudulent plans to the city, and has failed to provide a refund for 4 months. Stay far, far away from them. Full story: Our experience with GRS Pros has been embarrassingly bad. Like, "you couldn’t make this up if you tried" bad. If you expect any form of honesty, communication, or even work from the companies you hire, stay far, far away from GRS Pros. You’d be better off giving your money to a homeless shelter, at least then it would do some good. We hired GRS Pros, or Greenlight Restoration Services based in Flower Mound Texas around December of 2020 to build an addition onto our home. My elderly mother-in-law moved in with us and needed an area to live/sleep in since she’s still independent and doesn’t have other options. They were quick to come over, take their measurements, and tell us all about how they would take great care of us. They are very proud of their 3-Right Guarantee, turned out to be nothing but a line. We signed a contract with them around December of 2020 and they told us that we should expect them to be done around April of 2021, give or take. We wrote them a check for a deposit and they were on their way. On January 12th the project manager told us he was going to the city to get the permit process started. We assumed it was under way and would be done soon. 2 months later we had to ask again and received a message that he’d been “bugging the city” to get it done, and that he would "stop by in person tomorrow to see what I can do”. For the next 2 months, we were fed a steady diet of same story over and over again. “The city is being slow, you know how hard they are to work with” (turns out our city is fantastic to work with), or “we have someone going there in person to sit outside the city offices to get things done”, or “someone is coming by later today to measure something, don’t worry, we are almost ready”. He must have gotten tired of coming up with new excuses, because after 3 months of this the excuses stopped and they just resorted to ignoring our messages for a few weeks at a time. Must be a company theme because first the PM did it, then the company Ops director, and finally the owner. Around May they started to blame someone new. I guess the same old excuses get boring for those with their pants on fire too. For the next few months it was all the architects fault because they didn’t do the drawings right. “They will be done with the drawings in a week, and then we will have permits a couple weeks after that”. “I’m supposed to have the drawings today, I’ll keep you updated”. “It’s all looking good, I’m getting the schedules all put together for the subs”, and finally “I’ll go to the city tomorrow in person, they will look the plans over, and then they will approve them in person”. Around the beginning of June I finally decided it was time to check with the city and get some things confirmed. After all, if the city was responsible for all these delays maybe a citizen could help move things along, right? So I called the city, and guess what?!? THEY HADN’T EVEN REGISTERED WITH THE CITY!!! THEY HADN’T EVEN STARTED THE PROCESS!!! THE CITY HAD NO IDEA WHO GRS WAS!!! About this time the story really changed. I had misunderstood them, our PM said. "It wasn’t the city who was being slow, it was the architectural firm who hadn’t sent the drawings over". "Well, they sent the drawings, but they didn’t do it correctly". On, and on, and on… Now they started telling me they needed to spend more money to get the plans re-done. The architects drew up the plans wrong and were refusing to get them fixed. The architects really screwed up, and were ignoring them and not responding to their emails (man, GRS must really have it tough to be surrounded by so much incompetence). The plans they sent over weren’t good enough, and didn’t have what was needed. They needed to spend more. Well guess what? I called the city again, around Halloween, to check on their story and confirm that they had actually been working on the permits. GRS finally registered as a contractor with the city (the very first step) 4 days before I called and had just submitted plans to the city. ALMOST 1 YEAR AFTER THEY SAID THEY HAD!!! I was expecting to get all kinds of run-a-round from the city based on what GRS had told me. Nothing could be further from the truth. I called the city and within 2 hours the guy responsible for approving permits had called me back on his personal cell, making sure I knew he was available to help. He explained that GRS had just registered with the city and had submitted plans that were nowhere near complete. This is where it gets good (maybe even criminal). We were building an addition that would include a bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, and small kitchenette. GRS told us our city didn’t like those, so they would have to be careful with getting it approved. I had no idea what that meant, they were the experts, right? So I went along with what they said. Turns out “being careful” meant submitting plans to the city that were fraudulent. They intended to build out the shell, not tell the city about the water and power lines, then come back after the city had approved it, tear the walls open, and install the electric and water lines after the fact! Careful, fraudulent, more or less the same thing apparently! So when the city permit guy got these lame plans, he knew something was wrong. He asked a few questions like “what’s the purpose of the addition” and other reasonable questions. Well GRS promptly threw this guy under the bus saying he was being ridiculous, and that they had never had so many issues getting permits or that they had never been asked these questions before. Apparently the reason the plans were wrong was that they didn’t include any of the necessary info, like where the plumbing or electric lines would be! Imagine that! The ironic part here is that the city has absolutely no problem with the kind of addition we were planning on doing. So GRS lied to us and made life harder for everyone for no good reason! I’m not sure what GRS’s end game was here, but they chose to lie to us for months about the permits, the plans, what was going on, and who knows what else. At this time, I’d finally had enough. I demanded a refund in mid November. Now the company Ops director steps in to handle things. He calls me directly, telling me that they had “not mismanaged things” and that was a “sword he’d die on”. He wasn’t willing to provide a full refund since they had already spent money on plans and some landscaping (they paid a guy to come move some sprinkler lines as some token work. He disabled our sprinkler system, removed some pieces, and said he couldn’t do anything else at that point). Since they were almost done with the plans, he would see that they were finished, give them to us, and then refund the rest of our money. That was almost 4 months ago and guess what still hasn’t happened yet? If you guessed getting completed plans or a refund check, you are right!!! He was kind enough to call me and try to persuade me to take over the permitting process though. It would be better and faster he said. Hah! At this point I don’t trust any of the work they have done. I don’t believe the plans will have any value and I certainly don’t want them working on my house. I want a full refund, and I want them to get my sprinkler system fixed (the sprinkler guy seems like the only one who knows what he’s doing). What I think happened is they quoted us a price, then realized that costs were going up and decided they either couldn’t do it or wanted to do more profitable jobs. Now it’s been a full year since they were supposed to have started, they have a large deposit check, and now as we are looking for other contractors we are getting quotes that are 2-4x higher. Yes, 2-4 times more, which is way out of our budget. Thanks to their negligence we are now priced out of an addition and having to scramble to fig"

That was almost 4 months ago and guess what still hasn’t happened yet? If you guessed getting completed plans or a refund check, you are right!!! He was kind enough to call me and try to persuade me to take over the permitting process though. It would be better and faster he said. Hah! At this point I don’t trust any of the work they have done. I don’t believe the plans will have any value and I certainly don’t want them working on my house. I want a full refund, and I want them to get my sprinkler system fixed (the sprinkler guy seems like the only one who knows what he’s doing). What I think happened is they quoted us a price, then realized that costs were going up and decided they either couldn’t do it or wanted to do more profitable jobs. Now it’s been a full year since they were supposed to have started, they have a large deposit check, and now as we are looking for other contractors we are getting quotes that are 2-4x higher.

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Aledo, TX
While it’s possible to install carpet yourself, it’s best to hire a local carpet installer to ensure it’s done correctly and safely. Before installing carpet yourself, check whether the manufacturer’s warranty will remain intact. Many manufacturer’s warranties won’t cover the cost of materials under the warranty if it wasn’t installed by a pro. In addition, you should only install carpet yourself if you’re familiar with the tools required and if the installation is straightforward, not involving things such as floor vents or stairs.
Keeping your new carpet clean is vital to extending its longevity. Vacuuming regularly—at least once a week—can help remove dirt, debris, and pet hair. Instead of waiting, treating stains as they appear helps keep your carpet fibers looking fresh. Remember to blot rather than rub, rubbing will only make the stain larger.
It’s ideal to hire a professional carpet cleaning service to conduct a deep cleaning of your carpets a few times per year. The cost of professional carpet cleaning is $180 on average, which can help remove tough stains, draw out hidden dust and allergens, and eliminate odors.
There are many different types of carpets for you to choose from. When choosing a carpet, it’s essential to consider the following:
Fiber: Describes what your carpet is made of, such as polyester, wool, nylon, or acrylic.
Pile type: Explains how your carpet looks. Your carpet fibers can be looped, twisted, cut, or woven.
Pile height: Describes the length of your carpet. You can choose a low, medium, or high pile.
Density: Refers to how close yarn fibers are to each other.
Carpets can last between five and 15 years. The longevity of your carpet is dependent on a few factors, including its type, cushion, fibers, and amount of foot traffic. The type of carpet you have paired with the material impacts its life span tremendously and the foot traffic it endures.
If your carpet is 20 years or older, replace it soon to avoid potential odors and overly-worn spots. You should consider replacing it sooner if it has stains, water damage, smelly odor, matting, or color loss.
The cost to install carpet is $1,780 on average for 330 square feet, the size of an average living room. This cost could range from $200 to $5,000, depending on the amount of carpet, material, and type of carpet.
