Installation was fine....crew was on time, professional, clean up was good. Sales experience was where we were disappointed. The quality of the carpet and padding was no where close to what we thought we decided on in the store. After a little over a year of gentle wear, the carpet is buckling and needs stretching in many places. Plan to contact the vendor soon to come assess the problems.

Hi Member- I'm sorry to hear of your comments. I'd like to discuss this with you... please give me a call at your convenience. Also, we'd be happy to come back and re-stretch the carpet. Buckling can be caused by a number of things including steam cleaning the carpet, humidity/climate, moving furniture etc. And sometimes we just have a bad day and everything doesn't go as well as we plan. Regardless, we offer a lifetime guarantee on our work and we'd be happy to come back. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Adam

The salesman, Steve B. was extremely helpful and actually told me for the areas I wanted the carpet that I did not need the carpet I had originally chosen which was much more expensive. He came out and did a thorough measurement which resulted in very little left over. The installers were very punctual and did a great job, cleaned up as they went along and the seams are not noticeable. I would highly recommend Vertical Connection/Carpet One and plan to use them in the future for flooring and window treatments.

We live in Columbia and had seen ads for The Vertical Connection for years. Who knew they also did a fantastic job with flooring? As part of a remodel of the first floor of our home, our designer suggested we use the company for flooring. After meeting with Adam Joss, we chose a beautiful walnut hardwood and an updated runner for our staircase. We couldn?t be more pleased with the outcome. The products were high quality and the installers were truly craftsmen. All work was done on schedule and the installers cleaned up after each day's work. Our new floors contribute to the feeling of living in a brand new house!
Description of Work: Removed existing linoleum, wall-to-wall carpet, and hardwood in eat-in kitchen, study, hallway and foyers. Provided and installed engineered hardwood and trim in all areas. Provided and installed Hollywood style stair runner.

Response from The Vertical Connection Carpet One
Thank you for your comments. Please give me a call to discuss the black streaks you're referring to. Interestingly, that is actually caused by the HVAC system in your home. There's a term called "filtration soiling". Here's a link to an article online http://household-tips.thefuntimesguide.com/2006/09/carpetblackedge.php. It's often recommended to have your duct work cleaned and then the carpet. That should prevent future marks and clean up the existing. I hope that helps. Best, Adam

They installed mini blinds at my windows which were of very poor quality and never did fit the windows quite right. I bought kitchen pergo type Armstrong flooring for my kitchen the cost was outrageous and the installation was absolutely terrible. The quality of the flooring is also terrible. When I complained, I got more of the same. I definitely would not recommend them for anything. |

Hello Member - I'm very sorry to hear your comments. I looked in our system and see that the order you're referring to was 13 years ago. From day one, in 1977, my parents have always tried to ensure every customer is happy. I understand you were not and I'm sorry for that. I can assure you that we've put in place many practices in the past decade to ensure customers have a great experience. 1) we call to follow-up during and after installation - we want to address any issues immediately and not let them linger. 2) we offer our beautiful guarantee on many products - if you're not happy with what was selected, we'll change it for FREE. Even after installation. I'd be happy to discuss any other changes you feel we should make. Please feel free to call me or stop in. Best, Adam Joss

Installation was good and the installer was very polite. They have very good attention to detail. Their prices are competitive. We will be using their service again very soon (next month) for carpeting.
Description of Work: They removed carpeting and installed wood laminate in an upstairs loft area and in part of the hallway. One installer completed the work in under two days.

It went quite well. They were here when they said they would be and finished the work in a few hours. They needed to order these custom-made blinds and they came in when they said they would. They installers were quite professional. They're a well established company. We did not get other estimates because we knew they had the product we wanted.
Description of Work: They installed a roman shade on a fairly good-sized window in my study. They also installed venetian blinds in our bedroom and recreation room.

On his initial visit, he knew exactly which floor would match our existing flooring perfectly. The process was 99% fabulous. There was one concern where there was a gap in the wood where the floor met the wood stairs and they fixed this with an epoxy wood filler. They cleaned up the wood cuts and vacuumed each day. I would recommend their service to others. They’re a family-owned business and I dealt directly with one of the sons.
Description of Work: The installed hardwood flooring in the foyer, steps and hall. They also installed carpeting in the living room and dining room. The work took a team of two about three days to complete.

We took the damaged blind to the Vertical Connection showroom in Columbia Md. We were greeted promptly by Bob Frankenberger and he along with Stephanie were very helpful in assisting us with the repair. They took care of everything. We just dropped off the damaged blind and they packaged it and sent it to Hunter Douglas for a no cost repair. When the repair was completed Stephanie contacted me and she made arrangements for Vertical Connection to install the blind. This was our first experience with Vertical Connection. This was not a big ticket item for Vertical Connection but they provided great service and attention.
