they came on the scheduled time, did the work , cleaned up after wards and did a fine job
Project was done in time and it looks great.
Purchase and install went well. The planning and on site measure for vinyl did seem rather wasteful--we have a LOT left over--and installers figured out a better way to lay the carpet even though the Install Manager was out twice to determine "the best way" to do things. We have a lot of carpet left over, too. Since price of material and install is based on total amount purchased, there was spending that seems unnecessary.
Quality of install appears to be great, and the installers were calm, confident, and skillful.
Cant comment on product durability yet.
I would use Carpet To Go again but would challenge the on-site measure portion more than I did.
The carpet and pad are as expected.
The installation seemed to go well and was accomplished in one day. However, there were some installation issues which required the installers to rerun and correct. They responded in a timely manner.
I expected it to be ~3 weeks until I got the rug, but when I called back after 2 1/2 weeks they informed me that the carpet was on back-order and wouldn't be in for another 3-4 weeks.
Funny enough, I got a call a week later saying that my rug was in, giving me their store hours for pickup. When I went in, it turned out to not be cut or bound yet, so a wasted trip. They blamed it on the warehouse guy for the false alarm.
Final pickup was OK & the price totaled ~1800 after binding, tax and a rug pad were added in. They didn't keep the small remnant (~1" x 8") which I wanted so I could take it to stores to find coordinating items. This was ultimately blamed on the binder they subcontract to & the binder is now sending it to me.
So, I have the rug in hand 1 month after ordering, which isn't too bad. Rug & binding look great, but dealing with the team in the store was stressful & getting it done took some proactivity on my part. I was unimpressed with their ability to give me exact prices on rugs & services and the ability to do so seemed to depend on who I talked to. Communication with their distributors, warehouse and subcontractors appears to be sketchy.
After the measurer was out and we ordered the carpet, a date for installation was given us by the store representative. When that date arrived without hearing from Carpet 2 Go we contacted the store only to be told we were on the schedule for the next day. Again , we had to deal with a new person since the sales person who we place the order with and arranged the schedule was no longer employed.
The installers came and installed the new carpet. Unfortunately, they damaged the paint on the newly painted walls in the process. This required touch up painting by us.
The overall customer service experience was terrible. No one at the store took responsibility and we were not offered any consideration for the inconvenience of missed schedules and damages. We will never use Carpets to Go again. The 5% on the price of the carpet is so not worth it.
a) Caulking around the installed area in the bathroom - apparently that's not part of standard service. Not sure why, since water will seep in into the walls otherwise.
b) They had put in huge nails to fix the baseboard back into the walls - these totally scratched up a sliding door when we tried to push it. They had to come back to remove the nails and put in some glue.
c) Now 6 months down the road, I don't the work was done very well - I can see spots in the floor that seem to be a little broken - from the subflooring not being smooth enough and punching a hole through the marmoleum floors.
It is for c) that I think I should've gotten someone else.
"We stand behind all of the products we install and that is why we have a 5 year workmanship warranty on all installation. If you have the type of issues you describe happening, we wish you would have called us, but we still would welcome the opportunity to come out and address the problem. You will be getting a call to schedule an inspection of this problem and we will work hard to meet your expectations. Sometimes a mistake can happen, with product or installation, and we hope we are judged by how we respond to those issues. Thank you for bringing this to our attention."
We're new to the area. Carpet to Go was referred to us by our realtor. We contacted them and were put in touch with Tommy at the Bellevue location, and he was great in leading us through our choices and getting us through installation.
We inherited stained terra cotta under the fireplace, and we chose a dark, non staining tile to replace it. We have white walls, and he helped us find a neutral color carpet to complement them. For the stairs to the basement and the basement rooms, he helped us find an industrial-strength solution-dyed nylon carpet that color-complemented the upstairs softer-colored carpet but provides wear strength on the stairs and hard-use areas. They sent their estimator in to evaluate the job, and gave us a price for the whole job. We accepted, and that's all they charged us.
We REALLY appreciated their installation crew. Slavik came in to install the tile, and recommended a different configuration from the original that worked so much better with the tile we'd ordered. No extra charge. The original tile was glued to the floorboards. He removed the tile, cleaned up the floorboards, installed the 'concrete' baseboard, and added a bronze-edge metal support to surround the tile. We really like the professional installation. It looks great!
The carpet crew came in when scheduled, put the carpet in, and no problems two months later. My only complaint would be that they didn't clean the driveway of some fibers afterwards, but that's a really minor issue.
So now we get into 'customer service'. Two weeks later, a wooden stair-nose they put in broke loose. I called Tommy and he had someone by the next day to re-glue it. Two weeks later it broke loose again. I called, and he had his crew by after the weekend to fix it. Again, no extra charge. Tommy called the day after they fixed it this last time to make sure that if anything was amiss, just call him again. It's been two weeks now, and it looks like it's going to hold. I highly recommend Tommy and Carpet to Go.
