Although this installed area was small, there were several special things that needed to be done to make it work well with existing carpet edges, with tile edges, and creating a small seam in a closet. The installers also put new pad down in an adjoining hall and then re-installed our existing carpet that had been removed for carpentry and painting. Everything was done just perfectly. I appreciate the attention to detail, especially for a modest single-room job like this.
The only problem was, that they miscalculated, and did not ordered sufficient quantity of one type of tile. They ran out when they were about three-fourths finished. This can be a problem, because all material must be from the same "dye lot." A different production run will be a different tint, and a slightly different size. The additional material available here did not match in the tint or the size. So they had to order some from another warehouse out-of-state, to get the same matching material. Fortunately, it was available and the job was able to be completed.
The woman I dealt with at FK was nice enough, but she did complain quite a bit about how busy she was and how much work it was. I am not sure how I was supposed to feel about her stress. I wish that she would have explained the complete install processes to me up front, it would have saved me quite a bit of exasperation and stress!
Hardwood - Installed first and I love the product. I had my stairs done as well, well most of them anyway. When the install was "complete" my bottom stair was not touched other than to remove the carpet. I was informed by my contact, they could not install hardwood on that step as it was made for carpet only. They could however install carpet on it! (There is no carpet in the area at all!) After much conversation, trips to my home and hours of work they did manage to make the step look similar to the rest of the hardwood. The workers did leave install materials in my yard and after 2 return trips, I finally cleaned it myself.
Tile - Where to start? I will touch only on a few of the issues with that. The first day, the installers broke my dining room table! The man in charge did have a friend of his take my table away to have it fixed. I did have quite a bit of items to work around and they did do a good job of that! However, this team also left quite a bit of materials in the yard and street. One word to sum it up, nightmare!
Carpet - This team broke my TV, granted it was an older model and I was ready to replace it anyway, but none the less, it was broken. If you use FK, remember to unplug your electronics and cable. You sign a paper stating that you will do this, but if you forget, they will not ask you to do this and may break it in the process. There were only 2 bedrooms to install, so this part of the flooring was a breeze relative to the rest of the house.
There is more that I can say about FK, but I just want to put the whole miserable experience behind me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my product, but I HATE HATE HATE the company that installed it! Please make sure you ask many questions and stay on top of everything and everyone in your home at all times! I would NOT recommend FK to anyone.
