It was great; we had great service all around. The crew was great and it took them one day to install the carpeting.  The carpet looks fabulous and we were extremely pleased.

It went pretty well.  They came out to give us a quote.  Scheduling was easy and only took a phone call.  We knew what we wanted so he brought samples that represented what we were looking for.  We called them to accept the quote and they came out within a week.  They did a fine job, moved the big furniture and removed the old carpet.  The technicians were also respectful in our home.

The sales person was friendly, but it seemed like we were not top priority for service. There were several miscommunications, and we felt like we didnt get our moneys worth from the sales person. But the workmanship and quality of the hardwood floors was pretty good.

Gayla was very flexible in having the installers come since it was brand new house and we had to wait on the closing dates.  The technicians were very nice, professional, and kept everything clean and organized.  They went above and beyond and helped to move the carpet to the patio and garage.  The floors look really nice and I have recommended them already.  The last day of installation, a Sunday, they rushed and didn't remove the carpet completely.

It was very good and they did a great job.  I've been using them close to five years.  The prices are extremely fair, they show up on time, do what they say they will do, and they are respectful on the property.

It was good and scheduling was easy.  The only thing is that she recommended a particular carpet knowing that I have a dog.  My dog’s nails pull up the loops of carpet so I don’t think that was a good recommendation.  I also noticed that they didn't completely match up the carpet to the built-in shelving unit, so you can see where the carpet ends.  It took them around a day; they did a good job with installation and cleaned up well after themselves.

We took multiple trips to the showroom and they were very patient while we picked out the materials.  We did the work in two stages and they were done with everything in a few weeks.  They were very careful and even moved the major furniture and we had no damage. The technicians were very respectful in home.

Our job was scheduled to take 4 days, but ended up taking a month to complete. The tile removal guys were punctual and removed the tile; however, they damaged our baseboards in the process. Builder's Carpet has fine print on the back of the contract claiming that they are not responsible for any damage done in the home. Someone also cut a huge gash in our banister, which they refused to fix. When tearing out our tile, in preparation for putting in the laminate, they also ruined the threshholds to all of our doors beyond repair. The contractor did agree to send someone to replace them at their cost; however, it took months of calls, letters to get this taken care of. 
The tiles guys were a "no-show" as we waited day after day. They finally showed up 3 hours late on the 5th day. They proceeded to install the bathroom tile with a hump in the middle of the floor. When I complained, they said that I said that it would be alright since I was planning on selling the home. They had to tear it out to re-do. This time the tile was angled to the right. Both very obvious to the naked eye. 
This project was a NIGHTMARE! They left trash in our front yard under our tree for days. When I wrote a letter to the manager, Jason Goodwyn, he responded with a rude letter in return. He apologized for "inconveniencing me". When my husband called him to discuss the issues, he said that he would not talk with us anymore about the issues. I filed a letter with the BBB and Mr. Goodwyn responded by saying that I was trying to extort money from his company, because we asked for a discount due to the many issues and we asked that they replace the thresholds as they had told us that they would.
 We dealt with this issue on a weekly basis from 3/10/14 - 5/5/14, when finally a phone callto Builder's Carpet was answered by a female office manager agreed to assist us with our problems. They sent the man who put the laminate down to repair the baseboards and we received a check for the cost of the thresholds. We did not receive a discount for all of the problems we encountered. I would NEVER use this company, nor recommend them to anyone.

Jerry (salesman) was very easy to work with and he was very helpful. I was concerned about extending the custom wood without it looking very noticeable. They did a phenomenal job. They laced the wood in and there is no way to tell the wood was extended. The work around the fireplace was so precise and detailed. Everyone was very professional and courteous.

I worked with Gayla Young from start to finish and she was quick to respond to every question or concern I had. I like to ask most questions via email and I always received quick responses from her. We wanted separate estimates for each area as we didn't know how many of the other rooms we would be able to add at our own expense after insurance paid for the water damaged family room. I had a very detailed breakdown from insurance and I wanted similar from the flooring companies to make sure everything (shoe molding, painting of it, etc.) was included. Gayla was the only one/company who would provide this. I had a hard time getting the other two companies giving estimates to even give me a separate estimate for each room. I could never get a breakdown of any kind from the other two. 
Their very nice showroom is nearby so I made several trips to pick up more samples. They have so many to choose from. I was pleased that their bid was a bit lower than one company and quite a bit lower than the third. One of the companies lowered their bid to be more competitive but I still felt more comfortable working with Gayla and Builders Carpet. 
The installation team was polite and easy to work with for the week it took to complete the work. The floors look great and I can't find a single place that should have been done differently. All of the new shoe molding and baseboards match existing and they even touched up some nicks that were there before they started. One company said they did no painting so I was happy Builders did it all. 
We found one small issue with the threshold to the garage and they were out here immediately to fix it.  If I had to pick one area for improvement it would be cleanup afterwards. They left a lot of sawdust by our front door and dust from from their vacuum by the garage. Minor points in the overall scope of the huge project but the sawdust shouldn't be there. I would rehire again without hesitation and recommend to anyone.
Response from Builders Carpet & Design Center

"[removed member name], Thank you so much for the kind words and positive feedback regarding your recent flooring project. I'm glad Gayla and the rest of our team was able to provide you with excellent customer service and help you through the whole process. I have made a note regarding the sawdust issue you mentioned and I will make sure to address this with our installers. Overall it sounds like it was a successful project and I just wanted to thank you for allowing our company to serve you!"

Cherrie was great - she helped me decide which carpet to buy and it was perfect. I love it. I don't know if the price was competitive but the customer service was worth it. The installers did a fantastic job.

The flooring is beautiful, but the installers left it dusty and foot printed. Not sure if that's the norm. I thought it'd be move in ready when they left. Never the less it's gorgeous. We love it.

Price is VERY competitive. Pleasantly surprised that their quote came in very close to one of the most highly rated floor companies on Angies List because their showroom is superb so I expected their prices to reflect their overhead, but I was mistaken. Showroom feels like a high end store but the prices are similar to companies who operate like a warehouse. They have quite a selection too. Unfortunately, I've been assigned a sales associate who takes a bit of time responding to inquiries and providing quotes. I'm still in the process of finalizing the specs and numbers. I will update my review once this whole process is over.
Response from Builders Carpet & Design Center

"Thank you for the kind words and we are pleased you enjoyed our showroom. I apologize for any delays you have experienced with receiving your quote and I have spoken with your sales representative to make sure she provides excellent service throughout the remainder of the process. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing your updated review. -Trey"

It turned out excellent and it was outstanding. Red Collins was my sales person, and he was really good. I got one other quote and they beat the other quote by a good margin. There were not any issues and they got the job done in about a week from the beginning to the end. They also hand-scrapped and stained the floors and they had to wait for the floors to dry up. They also helped me move furniture and were very helpful. I have had them a year now, and there are no flaws with the floors. I have recommended them to others.

Thank you for your recommendations to friends and family and we look forward to serving you in the future. -Trey"

The work was fine, but I have noticed in the last couple weeks that our tile is now cracking. The sales rep Gayla was very nice to work with. They were no issues with the work. They were very professional and nice.
Response from Builders Carpet & Design Center

"[member name removed], it sounds like the subfloor beneath the tile may have shifted/settled over time and is causing the tile to crack. Please contact our store and ask for Gayla if you would like us to come take a look. Thank you for the review and we are glad you were pleased with our work. -Trey"

It went good. They did everything they said they were going to do and it turned out good. Everything went smoothly. Their responsiveness was good and everything went perfectly. They installed it right when we needed it, and they were a pleasure to work with. They got the job done in one day and it only took a few hours.
