The agent came out to measure and do the estimate, and that was fine and informative, but I didn't realize we'd have to agree to the price and work on the spot or lose the quote. We went ahead and agreed to do it, but I didn't appreciate that pressure. We scheduled a few weeks out, and when I hadn't heard any kind of confirmation from the company, I called to make sure we were still on and get a time. At first they couldn't find us in the schedule, but finally they did. They said the installers would arrive as close to 9am as possible, but apparently one of them was an hour late to work that morning so they arrived a bit later than anticipated - OK, we made it work. They generally worked fast and did a good job - we're pleased with the outcome - but the unprofessional demeanor of one of the installers left a bad taste. Cursing loudly when the job gets difficult doesn't inspire confidence, dude. The other installer handled the job well, though, and gave us an opportunity to inspect the work which remains in good shape.

It went well. They were a little pricier than the other ones that we looked at but not the worst but they have good service and they were pretty helpful. After they did the installations, there were a couple of little issues and we called them and they came to fix and that was good.

Two issues: (1) Carpet salesman measured the three rooms, then gave us a "quote" for the work. When I said I had to think about it, he called the office to see if he could lower the price, and then gave us a lower quote. This may be OK for other clients but I find it super gimmicky when you get a price quote at the beginning and then a lower price quote if you don't say yes right away -- just give me the real, lowest price you can from the beginning! I don't like the "timeshare" model where prices lower after you say no or I'm not sure. (2) Measurements of rooms were 200 square ft more than what Carpet One measured -- I wish we had measured it ourselves beforehand --but we were so trusting! I don't know how this could have been inadvertent as it was 3 bedrooms and their closets (very small closets) -- I don't see where that level of error would come in. When we measured it ourselves we came up with the same figures that Carpet One did. Personally I did not appreciate the business model. I don't know if mis-measurements were accidental or not, but I lost trust in the company and would not use them in the future.

The service was great. We met a very nice gentleman at a home show that signed us up for a prompt quote. Once we received our quote it was considerably cheaper with a high quality carpet. They installed on the date promised, they called ahead, and we received a call while they were installing to see how the installation was going. Our new carpet looks great, and our old carpet is where it needs to be (with no work on our part) in the garbage!

The ability to schedule my estimate in the evening was a must. Too many contractors require you to take time off in order to fit them in. Weekend installation was also a must and The Carpet Guys arrived on a Saturday at 9AM and were out by 12:30PM. Everything was perfect from scheduling, to the estimate, and finally the installation. I will use again.

This was too easy! I checked Angies List for reviews before selecting a carpet company and this company was the best reviewed, for good reason! Kevin came and measured and brought us samples. At first I thought the selection was too small, but we knew right away we wanted a medium frieze carpet so that's what he brought in. I imagine if we didn't know what we wanted then he would have shown us dozens more and that makes the selection larger than you think at first. We still had about 6 types to choose from in 6 different colors each and found the right one. Kevin was very helpful and before he left we signed up for the 12 month no interest financing and scheduled the install. The night before install I received a reminder call, and then the morning of I received another that they were on their way. They arrived at 9:30 with two installers, halfway through another two came to help, and they finished up around 4. They did a very thorough and careful job, especially on the steps, cutting around spindles and overlapping the sides (I would have expected just a little griping about the complexity but not a word!). The old carpet was cut and bundled for us to put out with the garbage. The crew was quiet and polite and professional. We also received a call the next day to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Overall we are happy with our install. It looks great and I feel confident if there are any troubles they will be addressed.

Thank you for choosing The Carpet Guys, and even more so for taking time out of your day to share your feedback. In this day and age, many people don't take the time to write the positive things, and I wanted to let you know, that it warms my heart to hear all the great feedback from my customers. I started this company from scratch with very little money in my pocket. I've worked very hard to gain customers, hire the right team of people who genuinely care about our customers, and it is paying off. THANK YOU for being one of our customers, and if there is anything at all that myself or my staff can assist you or anyone in your family with down the road, please don't hesitate to give us a call.

This is how carpet buying should be. Came out with a large variety of samples, measured, and gave us a quote. No lengthy sales pitch, just a really straightforward, friendly buying experience. We had our carpet picked out, ordered, and an installation day set within one hour. We were able to get an install date of 2 days after our estimate. When they showed up, they had no issue moving furniture that was quite heavy. They worked hard and got all five of our rooms done the same day. It looked great! We love our new carpet, and would recommend them and utilize them again if we needed to. Thanks, guys!

The service went well. Three technicians came out and completed the job in a couple hours. They were very efficient, quick and professional. They were great with communicating and let us know that they would be a little late. The sales person who came out to sell the carpet was very nice and knowledgeable. He brought samples for us to choose from. It was very easy to schedule with the company. They contacted us 24 hours after putting in a service request online. We are planning on using them again.

We were schedule for carpet and somehow were left off the schedule. This was right before Thanksgiving. The company made sure that we were rescheduled immediately. The carpet went in as an extra crew was pulled in to make it happen. Wow! When does that EVER happen? The job was good...a little edges around the stairs that we needed to trim ourselves, but overall nice job.

The sales rep (Arnie) ended coming to our house three times to close this deal We had a somewhat special request and had to work out the details. Arnie was always friendly and conducted himself professionally. Each time he arrived promptly at the appointed time. He initially came with samples, but not the make and model we wanted. Not a problem for him and he put together a custom order for the carpet. Also, we negotiated a reasonable price for the carpet without much haggling. Because it was a special order, we had to wait a little longer for the carpet to arrive than their normal turnaround time. It was not a problem for us, as it gave us plenty of time to prepare for the installation. A two person crew came out to do the install. They were very friendly, professional, experienced and had the carpet installed in a very short period of time. They even corrected a long time problem with the steps. Two other companies neglected to install tack boards on the steps. The crew identified the shortcoming and corrected it. They didn't have to do this because I would never have known. The result was a more professional and significantly better looking installation than the previous installs. Only one small mishap occurred during the installation. They accidently chipped off a small corner of wood of our TV stand. I was worried this would turn into an issue, but it was not the case. After contacting the main office and supplying a picture of the damage, the service manager (can't remember his name) promptly took ownership of the issue and made quick arrangements to have it fixed. Along with how the initial business was conducted, this one instance demonstrated to me just how dedicated the Carpet Guys are to supporting and satisfying their customers. We were very impressed and frankly, relieved. I have two other rooms to carpet in the near future and when I'm ready I will definitely be calling the Carpet Guys. In general, I only have positive things to say about Carpet Guys and have made it known to people I know that if they want quality carpet installed they should not hesitate to call the Carpet Guys.

It went well. I wanted to pay X amount with my card and then X amount with a different account and they basically were saying we need 10% down for the cost then I can pay the rest of the amount when it's done. Instead he charged the full amount that day. I had no idea if it was coming back out or not, I had to call his boss. They did complete the work.

The sales rep came to the house promptly at the appointed time, asked what we were looking for, went out to his van and came back with carpet samples. We chose two we thought would work, he measured the rooms, gave us a quote and we set a date for installation. A crew of three guys came out to install. They were personable, respectful and very efficient. They also clearly enjoyed working with one another which made for a relaxed atmosphere. They were careful with furniture and anxious to make sure everything made it back to its proper place. Overall it was a good experience and I would not hesitate to recommend The Carpet Guys.

Response from The Carpet Guys LLC
Happy holidays (member name removed), I wanted to say thank you for allowing us to come into your home to give you a bid on your flooring work. Even though we were not at the price point that you were looking to stay within, we very much appreciate the time spent and the chance to try to earn your business. We try very hard to offer great service along with good products with extensive warranties to give our consumers peace of mind. Unfortunately, we have certain margins and parameters that we must work within in order to stay in business. We do find that from time to time we hear that our prices may be slightly higher than some other companies advertised prices. Usually this is because we do not present tricky get you in the door tactics such as FREE labor or FREE pad. Believe me when I say nothing is FREE, there is indeed a cost to these things, they are just not presented right. In fact in most cases, the last minute costs and hidden extras are not even presented until the consumer is already on the hook by paying the $50 measure fee that many of these retailers require prior to giving you the final price. Anybody will give a free ESTIMATE, but an estimate is just that, an estimate. The real price is given after the professional measure takes place and all of the variables and extras are put into the equation. From my research, FREE labor is only given when you buy their carpet and pad at regular price, unfortunately, the "regular" price of their padding is almost 4 times what our pad costs thus absorbing the costs of the free labor and then some. We do not engage in tricky or misleading advertising. Our ads are simple, easy to understand and direct. We are NOT the cheapest, but we are the best. I safely say that we are the best because we are the only company that does not charge extra for warranties longer than the standard 90 day or 1 year labor warranty offered by most companies. Usually when you buy an appliance or other product that may need any sort of extended service agreement, those warranties usually cost roughly 20% of the products value to extend these services for just 2-3 years. In our case, we extend these services for the LIFETIME of the home at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! This in itself is a HUGE value since the average re-stretch of a carpet could coast anywhere from $200-500 per room where in this case, our customers only pay a small $65 deductible and we take on the rest of the expenses (even 10 years after the carpet is installed) Nobody out there offers this type of service. In addition to that, we do not charge extra for moving basic furniture such as beds, dressers, desks, tables, china cabinets, etc where almost every other company out there charges an arm and a leg. We don't even charge for the take up of your existing carpet. In addition to those great things, we do not offer an entry level 5 lb pad and then charge inflated upgrade prices for 6, 7, or 8 lb padding, we only use premium 8lb padding in all of our installations. With all of this being said, if you compare actual apples to apples, it would be extremely rare to find that someone else out there actually really beat our price. Sometimes, there may be a case of an independent carpet installer working out of his van that may be willing to work for a very cheap rate however, many of these independents do not stay in business very long nor do they have the buying power of the larger stores so with those you just have to take your chances. Either way, I am very grateful to have been given the chance to earn your business and even though we were unable to meet your specific needs the first time around, we want you to know that we are here for you and we would be glad to assist you in any way we possibly can. Feel free to call us anytime at (800) 375-7847. Sincerely, Joe Zago President The Carpet Guys, LLC.

Dave laid our flooring along with his son. Both were.very nice and very professional . I am however having a problem liking the vinyl flooring in the kitchen. When I saw the sample I thought the tile pattern would be larger, or at least that was the impression I had. The vinyl is a slate look and it is busy!. The tile pattern is small so it makes the floor look so much busier than I had anticipated. I am very disappointed in the look ....guess I will have to live with it ..not what I had expected.

The sales to the installation was spot on. The credit process is terrible and will ruin your credit score. 10/7/2014 Update: Joe (Owner) has been working with me to resolve my credit issues through numerous follow ups and going above the call of duty on this one. I'm highly impressed with the customer service provided and I'd now recommend this company to others. The credit was explained to me in much greater detail and in the end, I should have spent more time reading the fine print. I've had the carpet for a few weeks now and it's holding up very well. While it's early to say anything about the long term, the carpet is handling 2 kids up to this point. Cleanup is easy and I'm very satisfied with the product.

Response from The Carpet Guys LLC
Good morning [Member Name Removed]- My name is Joe and I am the owner of The Carpet Guys and I wanted to reach out to you about your message here on Angie's List. I am very happy that you are extremely satisfied with the purchase process as well as your new carpeting and I would like to take a minute to say thank you so very much for your business. Be confident that we are also here for you long after the sale and installation and if you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to give us a call so we can be at your service to resolve any issues or concerns down the road. I would like to take a moment to explain the credit process that we have set up so that you can have a more clear understanding as to how it works. We understand the the purchase of new carpet or flooring can be at times quite a financial burden, especially if you are purchasing floor covering for a large are of your home. Many people put off the purchase of new flooring and are stuck with looking at old worn out ugly carpeting just because they may be unable to fork over several thousand dollars all at once to get new carpeting. For our first several years in operation, we did not offer any type of solution to this problem and finally we started researching several banks and creditors who could offer terms to our valued customers but at a fair affordable interest rate. Just to be very up front, banks are not in it to be nice, it is a business and they are in it to make money by charging sometimes ridiculous amounts of interest to those they lend to. We found interest rates all over the board from 6% all the way up to 30% with no special programs to offer to customers to pay their loan off early without penalty. We finally came across GE Capital a few years ago however, they finance most of the big companies such as Home Depot, Best Buy, etc.and not so much the small shop at home mom and pop local shops like ours. It took us a long time and a near perfect track record to finally get GE (Now known as Synchrony Bank) to offer our customers financing. Furthermore, because of our increasing sales volume and our almost flawless track record and commitment to our clients, we were able to secure some extra special terms to those customers that they finance for us. Unlike most other lenders, we do not run your credit through 20 different banks all at once like the mortgage companies and many other retailers do, we ONLY run credit through this one single bank which causes the least amount of disruption to your credit score as possible. Please keep in mind, that we are NOT the bank, and The Carpet Guys do not affect your credit score in any way, we simply are the bridge between the consumer and the bank when a consumer wished to buy their products over terms rather than using a credit card or cutting a check. We do however provide each consumer with all of the terms of he credit process and we are able to offer 12 month terms which will allow you to pay your balance off within 12 months from the date of purchase and not be charge a dime in interest. That is a pretty solid program that customers such as yourself can benefit greatly from. You do need to make your minimum monthly payment requirements to the bank though because if you are ever more than 30 days late, the bank will report your delinquency to the credit reporting agencies just like any other bank will. This will cause a serious drop in your credit score so please be advised of the terms within your financing packet so you do not accidentally forget to make a payment. Also try to make sure that you have the full loan paid off during the 12 month promotional period or else the bank will hit you with a years worth of interest charges if you go beyond that time period. We do not want you to have to pay interest to the bank, nor do we want your credit to have any adverse action taken against it, and this is why we provide you with all of the needed information so that you can not only get the best bang for your buck, but also a great loan at zero interest charges. If you still have any questions or concerns, please contact GE Capital a.k.a Synchrony Bank customer care at https://www.mysynchrony.com or by phone at 1-866-419-4096. As an added note, please keep in mind that we work very hard to maintain a good grade here on Angie's List by providing superior service to all of our clients in every way possible and based on your review of our company, it looks like you are very happy however, the overall C grade was given to us due to your interactions with the bank and not those interactions with our company The Carpet Guys. Is there anything that I can do as a business owner to try to earn a better grade from you? These grades greatly affect our overall business and we work very hard to keep the A average that our dedicated employees deserve. I or my assistant Shawn is available to you almost any day of the week by calling our office at (800) 375-7847. I would really like to see if there is anything I can do to earn a more positive grade, so please give me a call if there is anything that I can do to do so. Sincerely, Joe Zago President The Carpet Guys, LLC. (800) 375-7847

First I want to say what The Carpet Guys failed to say until after the fact and that is "You void your Berber carpet warranty and installation warranty by using a power brush vacuum." The Facts: The first issue was in the living room. The Berber carpet had a defect running down the middle of the room. They agreed to replace it. Once they replaced it we noticed the seam in the living room stood out. The living room has one seam and when they replaced the piece that had the defect in it the grain of the carpet was going the wrong way. The installer told us that the carpet over time will blend together. We disagreed and they sent out a rep to investigate our complaints. Additional issues that we had where the Berber carpet on the top four steps of our stairs was installed with the grain going the wrong direction, 90 degrees off. We also received a quote to refinish the wood floors in the entry way. The refinisher came and looked at the wood floor and said he was not sure that the type of flooring could be refinished. He did a test spot which confirmed he was right. Now we have a rough spot in the test area. Another issue occurred when the installers brought the carpet into the living room the carpet rubbed against the front door which scratched the paint off the door. I questioned it and the installer stated that can happen moving large rolls of carpet. Another major issue was clean up, the installers did not clean out the floor vents in all three of the upstairs rooms leaving a lot of pad and carpet scraps in them. The rep agreed with our complaints that the living room carpet grain was installed with the grain in the wrong direction, the carpet on the top four stairs had the grain in the wrong direction and the installers did a poor job cleaning up after the installation. They fixed everything accept the front door and wood floor. About eight weeks later the vacuum cleaner caught a runner in the seam in the living room and pulled an eight inch piece of yarn out. The Carpet Guys state that using a power brush vacuum voids the Berber warranty and the installation warranty; we were never informed not to use a power brush vacuum or given anything in writing. After 16 years of vacuuming our original Berber carpets with no snags, this was news to me. In addition they claimed it was not an installation defect and they would not replace the carpet. It is their responsibility to inform the customer of what voids their warranties. I could agree that it was a vacuum cleaner issue if it were in the body of the carpet but this is in the seam of which the installer had to hand cut for the third installation. The Carpet Guys tried to fix the runner by cutting a strip of Berber yarn and glue it in the void (Runner). There is still a one inch area without yarn and now we have a brown/black burn stain around the runner. After talking with the Installation Manager The Carpet Guys want us to pay them (their cost for replacement carpet and installation) to replace the carpet that we believe was not properly seamed during the third installation. In short the quality of the quality of installation was poor. UPDATE: Sean, the installation manager, came to our house, September 26, and inspected the carpet seam and agreed that the runner was in the seam and agreed to replace the carpet. On November 4 a different installer came out and replaced the carpet. The carpet and seam look great, thanks.
Description of Work: Whole house carpet; 6 rooms, closet, hall way and stairs.

Response from The Carpet Guys LLC
Hello [Member Name], My name is Joe and I am the owner of The Carpet Guys. I would have responded to your review earlier however I was in Asia and unable to get access to several websites including Angie's List. I very much appreciate your feedback and wanted to get back to you regarding your concerns. First off, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the defect in your original piece of carpet. Although the major carpet manufacturers do have very good quality control procedures in place, once in a while, a piece of carpet may get through the visual inspection process at the mill and wind up in the customer's hours. When this happens, we work on your behalf to deal directly with the mill or their distributors to get the piece of carpet replaced in a timely manner. From my review of your situation, it appears that our installation manager Shawn as well as his assistant Ken got this handled right away for you however there may have been an error on our installers part when the replacement piece was put down. For this, I am very sorry and would gladly take care of sending our installers back out to get that taken care of for you right away at no charge. As for the snag in your carpet, we unfortunately can not be held responsible for this. Berber carpet is constructed by a continuous thread also known as a loop. When a nail from a pet, a high heel shoe, or a piece of furniture is drug across a loop style carpet, it is very likely that a snag can occur. Just like a pair of pantyhose, it doesn't take much to get a snag in them and if the snag is pulled in any way by a rotating vacuum brush-roll or power brush, that snag will then turn into a run and cause a major blemish in the product. With this being said, since the snag did not occur right away or during the first few vacuum routines, I am unable to take responsibility for the snag that was caused in your home several weeks after installation of your flooring. From the photos taken by the installer, it also appears that the snag was not on the seem as you mentioned in your review but rather 3-4 rows over from the seem thus showing that something must have caught the loop causing it to become lose enough for the brush-roll in your vacuum cleaner to catch it, wind it, and pull it thus damaging your carpeting. In your review you had also mentioned that during the installation process, the large roll of carpeting that the installer was caring into your home accidentally bumped into your front door causing a nick in your paint. Even though we expressly put in your original paperwork as well as pre installation checklist, that during the installation process sometimes these small things happen as resultant damages due to the bulk, weight, and large sizes of the rolled goods being carried into your home, We do take every measure to be as careful as possible. That is why we do make the customer fully aware of the possibility of such damages in advance thus giving you plenty of time to prepare the area or make arrangements to have your doors removed prior to our installers arrival. Unfortunately these types of things are next to impossible to avoid and that is why we place in bold print on both your contract as well as line #12 of your installation instructions in which you read and initialed stating that you understood these risks and would not hold us accountable for. As for not being made aware of how to maintain or clean your carpeting, I would simply ask you to take a moment to re-read the the large bold print in the center of the first page of your contract right above your signature where it clearly states "I understand that in order for any warranty to be valid, that I will follow the specific manufacturer guidelines and practice regular cleaning and maintenance set forth by the instructions on the reverse side." Furthermore on the the revers side, in addition to the specific cleaning instructions and things that we list for every consumer to avoid when cleaning, we also provide a link to our website's warranty and care section where we spell out word for word exactly how to and how not to vacuum your carpet. ( http://www.carpetguysonline.com/warranty-and-care/ ) - In addition to those very detailed instructions, we also provide another link to the Carpet & Rug Institute which is the agency that regulates the carpet and flooring industry where you may also find out what types of vacuums are approved and not approved to clean several types of today's carpets( www.Carpet-rug.org ) . Because of the nature of your review and the cause of the damage to your carpet that was clearly not our responsibility but rather consumer error, I am unable to simply just replace your carpet and installation for free however, I will work with you to help get it fixed at a huge discount to you. I let our installation manager know that if you would like us to replace your carpet and installation in the area that you have damaged, I will do so at our exact cost and agree to send our installers out at a zero company profit. Being a large room, this will save you hundreds of dollars as compared to the original cost of new carpet and installation. In addition to the large discount in the replacement cost, I will also be willing to give you an additional $200 to cover the cost of any clean up inconvenience after our job was done. Usually our installers do a very good job at cleaning up any dust or scrap debris left behind from the installation process however, from the sound of it, one of our guys did not live up to that expectation and for that I am very sorry. The $200 should be more than double the cost to have the vent vacuumed out and the door touched up from the scratch left in it from installation. I sincerely hope this helps ease your frustrations. We do try very hard to make every customer very happy and even though it may be completely impossible for anyone to maintain a perfect track record, we do still try our very best, and when we do fall short in any way, we always try to own our mistakes and make up for them if at all possible. In addition, when a customer accidentally damages their new carpeting, we will try our best to help you get it fixed at a very minimal cost to you as possible. We very much appreciate your business as well as the feedback so that we can continue to work harder to become a better company in order to serve our valued customers more professionally. Sincerely, Joe Zago President The Carpet Guys, LLC. (800) 375-7847 www.CarpetGuysOnline.com

Excellent job. The crew leader was very experienced and knew what he was doing. Installation was great and they did an amazing job of cutting in a replacement section of carpeting where we had a bad stain. They were very clean and left everything in great shape.
Description of Work: Replaced carpet in one room plus stairs and repaired stained area in another room.

BUYER BEWARE On 8/22/14 my Husband and I met with Kevin O'Keefe (who couldn't be bothered to put long pants on) with the intention of purchasing carpet for the entire house consisting of 3 bedrooms a living room, 2 closets and stairs. When I asked about the pad we were told I quote "we only offer 8lb pad because we guarantee it for life and we don't offer a choice. Since then, every ad I have collected from multiple publications all refer to a free upgrade to 8lb pad. So we have no idea what is in our house if this was the only choice especially since the carpet is 1/8 inch thick and the pad is 1/4 inch. We were quoted $5,696.00 and for that much money we assumed we were getting a quality product. We took advantage of the Angie's List coupon which offered $375.00 off of a purchase of $1800.oo or more. Don't bother with this coupon! All 6 ads I have in print offer $675.00 off of a full house carpet purchase or buy 2 rooms and get 1 free which for the price we paid for the carpet would have been a much better deal. I cringe when I think about the "discount" we would have paid $6,071.00. The worst part of this purchase is the quality of the carpet and pad. We kept a piece of each which again measure 1/4 in. for the pad and 1/8 in. for the carpet. All of that quality for the bargain price of $5,696.00 Sean and Chris came to the house and corrected the really bad install seams, however they are slowly re-appearing. Buyer Beware!
Description of Work: Sold us carpet and pad for an entire house install.
