In 2010, we worked with Adam Joss at The Vertical Connection to remove the carpeting we had on the first floor and replace it with hardwood. We already had some hardwood on the main level so Adam worked with us to match the style and finish since the original product (put in by our builder) was no longer on the market. They matched it perfectly! Their prices were competitive. They worked with our busy schedule and the installation was painless and professional! The installer even helped us fix some minor imperfections in our existing hardwood. We liked them so much that we came back to them to carpet our basement. Adam, once again, took the time to help us select the right carpet for the space (since we have a dog with long nails, no berber or looped carpeting for us:)). He explained how they measured, cut and installed it. Turnaround time was quick and, again, the installation went well and looks great! They may not be the very cheapest but their service, attention to detail and follow up are worth it!
Description of Work: So good we came back for more...

Everything looks great. Only complaint was that workers did not put up plastic sheeting when using power equipment to remove old tile. Dust was everywhere.

Over the more than 20 years we have had Pergo flooring, carpeting, and other window treatments installed. We have always been very happy with the results. We plan to hire them for all future work of this type.
Description of Work: We have had them work for us over the last 20 or more years. They installed window treatments - special blinds (material and can be opened from top or bottom) for a study window and for the kitchen bay window and also specially lined drapes for the bedroom window to minimize light (which would wake me in the mornings).

15 years later, my laminate floor still looks perfect; I can't believe how good it still looks. Also, people always comment on how great the tile looks. I couldn't fault them on anything. They are also very friendly people.
Description of Work: When we built my house 23 years ago, they did all of the window treatments in my house including the blinds and everything; all of that was great. Later on, I replaced the floor in my family room with a laminate floor. They also did all of the tile work in my bathroom.

They were stronger on pre-sale then post sale. They were also very strong through the installation the first project. I would recommend them.
Description of Work: They completed two projects. The first, they installed custom blinds in the bedroom. They came in and measured and they installed the blinds. The sales fellow, Steve, was very responsive through phone and e-mail. The installation was very quick. He was efficient, really nice to work with and pleasant. It was worth the money and we were very happy. However, the re-install which took place in early November in another place wasn't as good. The cartridge that the blind was on needed to be glued; we told 3 people and the installer and no one fixed it. Even though it was a very small repair item, we had to fix it ourselves.

The final analysis, everything turned out good. The technician who came out originally convinced us that we should use a configuration that did not end up working out. But, they came out at no charge, pretty quickly and replaced it. It was an awkward corner and with no questions asked, if we weren’t happy they weren’t happy. We would use them again.
Description of Work: We had some blinds put up in our sun porch. They had to be outdoor blinds.

The guy that did it, Mr. Cho, his son, and a guy named Adam were absolutely brilliant. Later on, I found out in a very difficult walkway, that I had a little gap between the boards. I called the owner to see if Mr. Cho could come in and fix it. The owner, Steve, implied I didn’t know what I was talking about it and they would have to come out and see in the summer when the boards would be expanded. The gap did stay come summer. I did not find him cooperative or pleasant. However, Kathy, Mr. Cho, his son and Adam were excellent. They were really focused on the customer. They were all pleasant, cooperative and helpful. They have a fabulous showroom; I have nothing but nice things to say about them.
Description of Work: I had them come in and re-do the hardwood floors in my condo.

I loved them! I had different crews and all of the crews were amazing in every possible way. They were unbelievably helpful in the decision making process. They had the best customer service and they were very informative; we had a lot of companies in here and they were superior. They were the best I had ever dealt with. They made the process so easy and seamless in every way. They made the experience easy and fun. They made a situation I thought would so difficult, very fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

They had a great showroom and they have a lot of choices. The sales man was also nice, but they were more expensive than similar carpeting at other places. We decided to go with another company.

The service went pretty well overall! They were thorough and the installers realized the product that was sent for stairs wasn’t the product that should’ve been used, so they waited to ask me before they finished the carpeting on the steps. I appreciated that.
