It was great from start to finish. Joe is my new favorite person, and the team he sent to do the installation was excellent. Joe and I talked through a few different options for our basement, and he was very knowledgeable on what would work best for us. His prices were pretty good, too.

Joe made sure our carpet was in stock and scheduled the install quickly. He also accommodated our request for an early start time (so I could meet the installers before I left for work). The installers were at my home for 14 hours, ripping up the old carpet, laying new pad and the new carpet. I was impressed that they stayed and finished it all in one day. The carpeting looks and feels great, I'm very happy with it. Joe has since called to make sure everything was okay and to our liking and I've also received a hand written thank you for your business note! The personalized customer service is wonderful! Thank you to Joe and the entire team at Carpets in the Park.
Description of Work: We needed carpet for a 2nd floor master bedroom and called several places for estimates. When I called Joe to schedule the estimate he asked several questions to ensure he brought samples that I'd like and would work for our project. He was patient while my husband and I discussed color. We ended up not only selecting Carpets in the Park, but expanding our project to include the entire 2nd floor (an additional 2 bedrooms and hallway).

Great job! Our place looked better than when we bought it. We had a contract on our townhouse within a week of putting it on the market.

He tried to sell us carpet that was flawed and didn't match the samples in color or quality. The second batch was laid with lines that both the manufacturer and rep agreed were substandard. He tried to fix this problem hinself in different ways instead of having it done professionally. It took 4 months to have a simple carpet laid in the basement during which we couldn't use the family room ofor our home.

Response from Carpets In The Park
Mrs. [member name removed], When we first met you told me I was one of a few companies that were bidding. You let me know that you were selling your home and did not want to spend a lot of money.You accepted my proposal for $3900.00,not $5000.00. When the carpeting was installed on September 2nd 2013, you told me that the color was way off and you would not accept it.After our meeting at your home we concluded that the color was correct, but the shade tone was a little off from what you expected from the 6 inch x 6 inch swatch that was sent to you. Dye-lots to vary, but I agreed to have the carpeting replaced, a 12 x 90 foot carpeting (120 square yards). This time I asked that the Mohawk Mills send you a One foot by twelve foot piece off of the roll that you would receive so there would be no confusion as to the correct dye lot. They did ship it to you, and you accepted it.It took a little bit of time for the sample to come in, and for you to accept it, and for Mohawk Mills to send me the new carpeting. In the interim I told you to use the carpeting that was installed for your every day use. The new carpeting was installed 37 days latter, not four months later as you suggested. The Berber Carpeting that you ordered has a Sisal straight line type pattern to it. The low light in your basement was showing up the seamed joint. I came over to your home to take a look at it. While I was there, I rolled the area that was in question to see if the pile of the Berber was flattened. Every thing seamed to line up correctly, but I agreed that in the low light you could see the joint in some of the line, even thou with your basement light turned on, you could not find it. I told you I would have my Installers back out to remedy the situation, and to re-do the joint to your satisfaction. This was done expeditiously, and to your satisfaction and as professionally as could be done. I see you are sending the review from Portland. Congratulations on the sale of your home in 2013. It is very important for me to tell you point blank Mrs. [member name removed], I did not sell you flawed carpeting that didn't match the sample you had. The manufacturer is Mohawk Mills. The sample was clearly marked, and the dye lot was a little off. I know because I sent you the Bill of Laden from Mohawk Mills. I ordered the carpeting a second time, with no questions asked! Carpets in the Park installed the carpeting correctly, and took care of all of your concerns. It didn't take four months to complete, it took 37 days. I have been in business ( Carpets in the Park) for over 27 years and never ever have done anything as you suggested, from selling flawed materials to taking forever to complete, in a disorderly fashion. Best of luck to you in Portland.

It went great. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: Replaced carpeting and padding on the stairs and 2nd floor bedrooms and hallway.
It looks amazing. Had a small issue with the installer using a broken piece of wood which I was unable to see until the varnished dried and a puddle of varnish that had dried solid. I sent Joe a picture of the broken wood and he had the installers back at my house the next day to fix the broken piece of wood that was used, and they also fixed the puddle of varnish. I was shocked at how good the repair looks. You'd never know there was anything done. I was very happy with the job and the prompt response and resolution to the problem. I would definitely recommend and use them again with hesitation.

Joseph was very professional. He arrived on time with the samples and thoroughly explained each type. Unfortunately, it was not what we were looking for to replace our stairs and runner. Even though we decided not to do business with them at this time, I would consider them for future jobs.

Overall good but was told I was first installation of the day but waited 4 hours and no phone call. Had to call to find out that schedule had changed.
Contractor's price proved too low because he missed a major problem with the job when he bid the contract. As a result, the promised clean up was not delivered because he had to cut his losses and end the job before the clean up was done. The clean up cost me at at least $400. Sadly, he lost money, too. He tried hard but everything stemmed from initial mistake in bid. Great guy, good relationship, good crew, but unfortunate error.

Wonderful, wonderful job. I absolutely love the carpet, and I was very pleased with the entire process. I appreciate the employees who came to install the carpet. They were extremely polite and professional. We will use the same company for our hardwood floors and tiles, and I just regret it will be a different team, as I really would like the same crew to come again.

First meeting went well. Set up a date and time to have the rooms installed and when the day arrived, I had to call them to find out where the installers were as they were already a couple of hours past our scheduled time. Spoke with our salesperson who informed us that we we're install #2 for the day. When we purchased, there was no other install for that date. Seems there was a mis-connect between the office and the warehouse. Still that did not make for a happy customer. Hopefully they have corrected that.

I had contacted the company via their site. After waiting for a day with no response,I called their Toll Free Number to set an appointment.The salesman arrived on time and was frirndly. After learing my requirements he gave us few options and tips.He scheduled another appointment to show us more samples. On second meeting , he showed up on time and verbally gave us quote for my living room but not for stairs. The quote was astronomical and he left as if he was not interested to persue my business. I would not call this company for my future work.

Response from Carpets In The Park
Hello, I can see by your review that you were not satisfied with the person and company that came to your home, two times to give you a quote on your flooring. I must insist that we were not the company that you saw that has upset you. We were not out at your home. I understand when you have many contractors to your home for a project, it gets a little confusing. Angie's List has put this on my reviews after they took it off of another contractors reviews, because he claimed he was not out to your home to quote either. Angies List has given me your phone number, and I have left a couple of messages in this regard. I haven't heard back from you, so I am answering you the only way I can, by this comment. I am sorry you had a difficult time with some other contractor. Carpets in the Park is a five star company, and Super Service Award Winners, and very proud of our track record. Our sales staff would never think of jeopardizing our reputation in any way shape or form, especially if they came out a second time. Please search your memory for us and call if you need to to discuss this important matter. Please remove the review from Angie's List. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Joe Taylor Owner and Operator Carpets in the Park.
I was extremely satisfied with Carpets in the Park. The workers were punctual and the one day they were a bit delayed, they phoned ahead to let me know. Each of the employees was very polite and easy to talk to. They were all diligent workers. They were so easy to work with. I love the way they feathered the existing hardwood into the new planks. You cannot tell where the new begins! It was a very professional job. What also impressed me was their immediate responsiveness when I asked them to fix a small area. They were back the next day! It was a pleasure working with Joe. He answered all of my questions and worked with me to schedule the installation at a mutually convenient time. I recommend Carpets in the Park to anyone who wants a high quality job at a very reasonable rate.
Description of Work: They removed the existing carpet in the living room and dining room. They removed the existing baseboard and shoe in the living room, dining room and kitchen and foyer. They sanded the existing hardwood floor in the kitchen and foyer. They installed new hardwood flooring in the living room and dining room. They stained and varnished all the hardwood. They buffed the existing hardwood floor in the family room and then re-varnished. They helped move out the big pieces of furniture and they helped move the big pieces back into the rooms.

I purchased a new home and the three bedrooms needed new carpet. The owner explained how important the padding under the carpet is and also brought several really nice samples. I decided on the type of carpet, the owner arranged to have the carpet installed approximately three days later. The carpet installers were scheduled to arrive between 8:30 - 10:30 they arrived at 11:00 but they did call to ask if being a half hour late would be ok, i agreed, they arrived and were fast to work. The carpet was completely installed in approximately four hours, they cleaned up the area, wasted no time, and completed the job. The installers were professional as well. I would recommend iCarpets in The Park to anyone, in fact I've already past the business name and contact on to a couple of my co-workers.
Description of Work: The owner was very punctual and professional when he arrived. He came out to provide an estimate and I hired him immediately based on his experience and professionalism.

Very well! Great meeting with Joe and the installers, well, you'd never know they were there - except for the great new carpet.
Description of Work: We have an in-town in downtown Chicago and were on a tight timeframe to met with someone about replacing carpet in the bedroom. I found Carpets in the Park on AL and emailed them and set a time for someone to come. Joe Taylor came to our condo with samples which I guided via the exchange of a few emails and they were spot on for what we wanted. We selected a color. Talked about quantity, price, installation, padding, working with our building, etc. All covered in one quick visit. The carpet was installed about a week after our meeting and we didn't get to see it until Dec 27. But we were so pleased! It's a beautiful carpet that warms up the space and looks clean and luxurious.

It went alright. The guys knew what they were doing and were hard working and professional. Here's the problem..I ordered the " hollywood " wrap on my stairs. It is more labor intensive and costs you more but that is what I wanted. The other option for stairs is called the waterfall look. It is not wraped but drapes over the stairs for a flowing look. Since I couldn't actually stand on the stairs while they were working, it was impossible for me to watch them. They did not install the stairs the way I wanted. They installed it with the waterfall look. When they were done I told them what they had done wrong and the responce was that " nobody told them" . At that point they were done. I paid them minus the cost of doing the stairs in a wrap and off they went. I called Joe when they left and he assured me that he had told them to wrap the stairs and offered to have them come back and fix it. I declined. As far as I was concerned the job was done. I was pressed for time getting the room ready for Christmas so it was what it was. It's not that the stairs look bad because they don't it's not the look I wanted. The cleanup was lacking also. There was quite a bit of crapet pieces that I had to vacuum up. So to sum it up. They did a good job of putting the carpet in, just not the way I wanted it. The cleanup should have been better. I suppose I would use them again. They are much better than Luna, who I used before and would have my grandmother install my carpet before I used them again. One more thing.... I ordered a commercial carpet because I wanted a tough long wearing carpet. I had wanted to put in a berber. It's only been a month and a half and I there are quite a few threads popping up. That bothers me. Go with your first choice.
Description of Work: Had Joe out to see samples and get an estimate. He showed up on time, left samples with me and we went over installation options. Carpet was installed on the day that I wanted.

Filled out online estimate request on Friday and received a call from Joe five minutes later. Less than 5 minutes after that we had an appointment for an estimate later that same day. Joe came out to the house and assessed the floors and told us what he could do for us and that we could have somebody out That coming Monday. On Monday Florian and his crew arrived, I picked out the wood stain and later that day we had beautifully restored floors. Joe even called to follow up the next day!

Joe (the owner) showed up on time with samples for our initial appointmment. Listened to what we were looking for, asked questions and made recommendations. He went over the next day and took the measurements and gave us the quote. The whole process was sooooo easy and we knew we were being treated fairly. We were on a time constraint and Joe made it happen. We could not be more pleased!
Description of Work: New carpet and pad for approximately 1,000 sq.ft. including stairs. We bought the best upgraded pad. This will be an area we will live very comfortably in. LOVE the carpet. PERFECT job. We will definately have them come back and replace carpeting in the rest of the house as needed. We received the best quoted price right from the get go. Don't believe the malarky on the television commercials! Use the local folks and you will be treated fairly and professionally!
