Description of Work: Not one person greeted me while I looked through every section of flooring. I was in the store approximately 20 minutes. They were not busy with customers as I overheard personal conversations between sales personnel and others. They lost $14,000 as we have went elsewhere.

I wanted to thank Mrs. [Member Name Removed] for speaking with me this morning. We reviewed her experience in my store. I assured her that the experience she had is by no means the culture that we promote and encourage. I am addressing this with my sales team this week. I always appreciate customer feedback. While not the feedback I like getting, it's always valuable. Sincerely, Gayle Petersen

Went to the store on 9/29/2013 and waited to speak with sales rep working with customers. Was greeted and told I would be next. I understood and looked around at samples. brands, etc. After, he was then able to ask me about my project. I told him I had used them for flooring in the past for Alloc Laminate floors in our kitchen that have held up fantastic over the past 10+yrs. I wanted to see what brands and current pricing available. I took in measurements for 4 rooms and entryway of approx. 800 sq ft. He was unable to find past purchase in system (too long ago) and updated my info, and made copy of my floor plan/numbers. I mentioned that I also signed up for an estimate through Costco and was told that Petersen's are now approved providers for the Frederick area Costo, We discussed some options and then another customer came in and we agreed that I would need to talk with someone to arrange a time/appointment for a free in home measurement and discuss the project further. I was told that Gayle Petersen would follow up with me to make an apt. and to discuss sales and promotions available. That was over 10 days ago. I called today to inform them that I was disappointed that I had not heard back from them after being in their store for 45 minutes and I selected another company and have a start date. I was asked to hold so I could speak with Gayle. She interrupted me several times when all I was trying to do was tell her I understand that notes get misplaced and mistakes happen, but they lost out on a sale. I felt like I was doing them a favor by calling to inform them before I left a comment on Angie's List. She was rude and made me feel like the bad guy!?!

Response from Petersen's Carpet & Flooring
I did receive the call from [member name removed]. She was extremely upset that we had not gotten back to her. I did let her vent her frustration. She continued to let me know that she was going to write Angie's list & Costco to let them know how terrible we were. I tried to ask her to please let me do some background follow up with my people, search our day history, find out who had worked with her. She got very upset, feeling like I was not listening to her. I tried to let her know that if she was in our system as a Costco contact on 9/28/13 - the salesperson she met in the showroom on 9/29/13 could not quote her as a Petersen's customer. [member name removed] was too irate to listen to me try to explain what I thought happened. I listened to [member name removed] give me advise on customer service for another few minutes, thanked her for her call and then had to get off the phone. Upon further research I was able to see that on 9/28/13 the Costco lead was generated and given to one of our sales team. Our contract with Costco requires that we attempt to contact the member within 24 hours of the lead generation. The sales person responsible for [member name removed] made two attempts to call the phone numbers that were on the lead sheet. On 9/29/13 [member name removed] came into the showroom - by the day sheet I can see that we were very busy with people in the showroom and we were short a man due to illness. The salesperson showed me his day sheet notes regarding [member name removed] visit. After letting the salesperson know that I was disappointed that he hadn't followed up by turning the information over to me to explain how we needed to proceed due to Costco's lead, he acknowledged his error. I do appreciate the feedback from [member name removed]. I had hoped that I could have assisted her with a more positive outcome. Gayle Petersen

My wife and I were looking to replace the very old floor (actually 2 layers of flooring) in our kitchen with either a laminate or tile. Based on other Angie?s List recommendations and friend?s reviews, we decided to go with Petersen?s Carpet and Flooring. After doing further research on flooring we decided on installing Congoleum?s Dura Ceramic floor as it was given the best marks on Consumer Reports. Petersen?s obtained all the materials in a very short amount of time and installed the floor on Saturday July 27, 2013 and did an excellent job! The installers arrived as promised at 8 am and stayed till about 7 pm to get the job done. Their work was clean, tidy with only a few random glue spots here and there (more than likely due to a roaming cat who wanted to help them). The Installers were very meticulous and did an outstanding job- all edges were even, all cut tiles were clean, and the grout work was perfectly executed. Paul Patten, our sales person, even stopped by early in the morning to ensure all was going smoothly ? a gesture that we greatly appreciated. As a result we highly recommend Petersen?s to anyone thinking of redoing their kitchen flooring.

The carpet was laid by 3 Spanish men; a middle-aged one and two young ones who appeared to be trainees. The older gentleman knew what he was doing; it seemed that one of the younger ones made a mistake laying the carpet on the stairs; the older man became very agitated with him, but it appears that he corrected the problem. They were very respectful and nice.
Description of Work: They put new rugs in three bedrooms, a formal living room, and the stairs to the basement.

Petersens moved the furniture in my living room and dining room. They swept the floor after taking up the old carpet, they prepped the floor before putting down a black moisture proof pad, then they put down the Bruce floor. It matched exactly my floor in the Hallway. Excellent job from start to finish.

I used Petersen's Carpet and Flooring several times and have been very pleased. The first time I purchased an Oriental area rug for my family room. I had a specific color and shade in mind and they were the only carpet store in Frederick, MD that had just what I needed. It looks beautiful. I went back to Petersen's when we decided to enclose our back porch and put carpet on the floor. They were out to measure; I found the type and color of carpet that I wanted and they did a great installation job. I have no complaints at all and would you them again for my next carpet needs.

Our experience with Petersen's was very positive.
Description of Work: I called Petersen's for a estimate on flooring and carpet. Paul came the next day precisely on time and took measurements and gave us his opinion on how we could proceed. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. The entire experience with Petersen's was efficient and professional. We did not proceed with this installation but I would not hesitate to contact them in the future with flooring needs.

On time and very professional and neat in manner and work. Removed rolled old carpet and took to truck. Measures and laid out foaming to be installed, marked where necessary to make cuts. Floor and furniture were done and cleaned and back in room 3-3 1/2 later. I've been dealing with Petersen's for years and have never been disappointed. A very professional and knowledgable company.

Beautifully from start to finish.
Description of Work: We loved Petersen's. They put hardwood flooring throughout our house and tiled our kitchen. I can't say enough good things about this company. Their workers were knowledgeable, courteous and polite. Their Quality Control Manager stopped by at least once a day and was always available by phone for any questions I had. The salesman Jim Klingon was fantastic. He helped immensely with our kitchen tile design and was able to clearly answer any questions we had. We would definitely call Petersen's the next time we need carpet, flooring or tile!

Great experience - Salesman was great, told us exactly what to expect, workers showed up on time and did kitchen first. Then a second group of workers came and installed the carpeting. They did an excellent job, and the carpet is beautiful! Very happy with this company and would recommend to anyone! We will use them again when we do our upstairs!

Wonderful company! Their pricing was in line with what I expected to pay and the service was wonderful. The salesperson came to my home to take measurements & bring carpet samples...it was all very "painless". The installers showed up on time & ready to do the job. They were quick, efficient and clean. I was very pleased with my experience dealing with Petersen's and would gladly do business with them again, as well as recommend them to anyone requiring flooring installation.

I thought in general they were good. They did originally show up with the wrong carpet which I realized when they arrived. I was a bit disappointed they didn't catch that themselves but they did reorder the carpet and deliver with professional and quality installation. The delay was a little bothersome and they had a bit of difficulty with the hardwood installation but they stuck with it and the completed project was good in the end. My three day "best guess" estimate was three weeks in the end.
