After all of the estimates we visited two installers and Jeter's was the second. We spend a good bit of time looking at carpeting at their facility. Their selection was not quite as varied as the other but they offered a wide range of selections. When we made our choice based on stain resistance, warranty, padding weight, and carpet backing weight that was comparable to our other quote the price came out slightly higher than the first vendor. My wife and I left and went to lunch to talk things over.
When it comes to commodity products I price show. When it comes to something like carpet where the installation matters I usually deliberate a long time. All in all, the attention, family name, and "feel" of Jeeter?s just struck both of us (we're engineers, that doesn't happen often) so we called James back and asked him to write it up.
The carpet came in on time but the installation took a day longer than had been estimated. That could be viewed as an inconvenience and a problem. I watched the team install the carpet. They were good. The two gentlemen who came to our house were absolute professionals and focused on every detail as if it was their own home. The extra day of the house being torn apart did not matter, I could see the time and care they put into their job. When they left we had a spot install that I felt was worth every penny they charged us.
I just realized I forgot to write this review and it is now five months later. The carpet is beautiful, the stain resistance is every bit what we were promised, and the installation has held up exactly as expected or hoped. By a weird stroke of luck it turns out we are moving. The house we have purchased has older carpeting that needs to be replaced. I plan on giving Jeeter's a call as soon as we close to have that house recarpeted by them. Local, family owned, fair prices, excellent service, and a high quality installation. I honestly would not think of giving the business to anyone else.
With Jeters I got one price for all the work and labor including removal of old carpet and install of new padding.
They were not the cheapest bid I received however Jeters took the time to thoroughly go over our needs. In fact, the carpet we were to select was more than we budgeted for so we thought we would hold off on the new carpet for a while. Jeter's called us a few weeks later and advised us that Mohawk had a 50% off special on the carpet grade we were looking for. We selected our colors and agreed on an install date.
Jeters sent two men to our house who spent three days completing the job. You can tell these guys were professional installers by the way they worked,very organized and detailed oriented. All furniture was moved and put back in its place.
After two months I can say the carpet is holding up very well and looks great.
1. Jeter's Sales Organization
Our contact at Jeter's started very professionally and was very responsive; however, once we had paid for the installation, the
service went downhill and the poor communication began. Before signing the contract, the sales rep informed us it would be 2 weeks before installation could be started. However, immediately after we signed the contract, the sales rep requested if they could perform the work the following week. We were unable to meet this timeline, and all of the sudden the material was on backorder for an additional 2-3 weeks. (This was confusing as they were able to perform the installation, so they had material; however, we could not meet the timeline, so then the material was on backorder). After 1 month of paying a 50% deposit, I had to follow up about when we could perform the installation, and the material continued to be on backorder. Finally, after 1.5 months they were able to schedule the installation, but we were not able to agree on a time. Finally, after 2 months, we were able to schedule an installation for 2 days. Despite the agreed upon timeline, the full installation required a 3rd day.
After the installation, the sales representative followed up 2 weeks after the completion. She had informed me she had called multiple times and left me more than one message despite my lack of miscalls and messages. Overall, the sales representative's service was not great, and went down over time especially once the deposit was paid.
2. Installation Company
The representative that installed the flooring in our home did a good job. The only compliant is that the gap between the tile and door frame was filled cheaply and looks incomplete.
"Thank you for choosing Jeter's! We understand your discontent and genuinely appreciate your effort to explain the instances that brought upon your disdain. Occasionally the manufacturer will not have material available as promised to us (the retailer and the customer,) and will even postpone production a second time further from the original expected date. Although rare, this is the case here. We apologize sincerely for not contacting you at the appropriate times and explaining the circumstances as it may have helped elude this disappointing outcome. We also apologize for the extra time needed to complete the installation. We do our best to make the proper estimate, and with 40 plus years of experience, we are usually in a safe approximation. Please contact us in reference to the gap at the door you described. You have a1 year installation warranty, we will repair any installation related concerns at no charge."
