CARPETING BY MIKE INC

Great customer experience from beginning to end. Local owner (Typhannie) and staff kept us informed of schedule and followed up after job was finished to make sure we were satisfied. Highly recommend!

Jesse was one of the most professional and expert people we've ever had do work for us. And, he is a great guy!

I purchased the carpet during a sale and was able to get a much better quality of carpet than I thought I'd find in my price range. After my initial stop at the store they brought the samples I was considering to my home when they came to measure, so that I could see them in the space before making my choice. Carpet came in on time, was installed on time, and looks great! And, they made follow up calls to check on my experience.

I have never dealt with such a great company. Not only was Mike amazing to deal with, but the quality and professionalism was top notch. He gives you that 50's kinda feel to do business with. I have had carpet installed years prior and it was from a big box store.. I don't want to say which one. But, I did not have a very good experience, took days longer, ended up costing more after the estimate and not very professional or timely. My flooring job was done as promised. I went in expecting the same old same old saleman's speel and what I got, was so much better. I would recommend Mike's carpet to everyone. You would be silly to look elsewhere.

We made it clear that we wanted carpeting that was somewhat environmentally friendly. Mike came to our house as scheduled and we talked about types of carpet and he measured the area. We went to his store front to pick out the carpet and his employee working that day steered us to the Smart Strand carpeting and really gave it a hard sell. We asked about moving heavy furniture and a couple of other issues to which Mike replied about his and quot;crewand quot; being able to move anything. To us a crew is more than one person, but that is who showed up when the work was scheduled. It was supposed to take 1-2 days, but the first day the and quot;crewand quot; had to leave early, the second day he hurt his back and left early, and finally finished on the third day. He did a good job, but on the first evening we looked at the products he was using and he was going to use an adhesive that contained toluene. We pointed this out to him (after all Mike knew the importance of the environmental issues to us) and he called Mike who told him to use duct tape instead to hold down the edges. When we tried to vacuum the Smart Strand carpeting we found that a regular vacuum would not move on this carpet. I googled the issue and found a lot of information about the problems associated with vacuuming Smart Strand. We tried 5 different vacuums (3 of which we bought new and returned) and finally ended up with an Oreck Magnesium for $299. I am a very small person and that was only vacuum I could even push on this carpet, and only at the lowest speed. When I called Mike's store about the vacuum issue, I was first told and quot;anything but an Oreck.and quot; Then I called Mike directly and he said to call his store again in a half hour and they would give me the name of the right kind of vacuum. When I called they simply emailed me an article from Mohawk (makers of the Smart Strand) that I had already seen online. Mike obviously just has sub-contractors like any big box store and I simply do not see any advantage whatsoever to buying from him. In fact, I'm quite sure Home Depot would have been more responsive to the vacuum issue.

Went great. One tenant failed to leave the unit open for the installer. The installer came back the following week at no additional fee.

He did an excellent job for a good price. He was here when he said that he was going to be. He got the job done and did a really nice job. I would recommend him to anybody and our friends are buying carpeting from him now. We ended paying under $1,000 for an 8-by-12 linoleum. Everybody else that we talked to said that it would be a minimum of $150 for floor preparation and I said that the floor is ready to go because I ripped everything else out and cleaned it up. He walked in and looked at it and he goes, "Well, there would not be any charge for floor preparation." Other companies would just say that there is $150 charge no matter what. Mike runs the business and the people at the shop were very helpful. His price was good. It was very competitive. The linoleum was not installed that long ago but its quality was comparable to what we could have gotten at other places for probably more money. We did not have to wait forever because he had it in here within a week while for most places, it is a month before they will come and do it. His punctuality was also great and we are actually planning on using him again.

Great, workers did a super job on stall.
