[Member Name Removed], We are very sorry about your experience. Although it was a "poor estimate", we did honor the price when you explained that the closet should have been included. We certainly take our commitments seriously, and wanted to make sure that your finished product was done in a craftsmanship manner without any additional costs. That was accomplished, but should have been done the first trip out.

The scheduled time was set for 0800, but the crew didn't show up until 10. They stated that their crew chief had them go to another job prior to mine being done and therefore they were late getting started on my job. Their should have been better communication between the store and myself so that was we all could be on the same page.

It went absolutely great. From the moment we were helped by Lee to select our carpet to the time the carpet arrived and installed we couldn't have been happier. Lee was very pleasant to deal with and the installers were extremely nice and very professional and tidy. All in all for an experience we dreaded it was quite enjoyable. We are very happy and would recommend Ray's to anyone!

Ray's did a great job with both my carpet and vinyl plank flooring. I solicited many bids for this work and Ray's price for vinyl plank flooring was (by far) the best and the initial carpet bid was pretty good too, but I had better offers. However, Laura did a great job price matching my other bid and I was pleased to use them for the entire job. The end product looked fabulous. I was initially put off by the long lead time quoted to me. However, when I told Laura I was in a hurry she put her foot on the gas and made the job happen in less than a week. Overall, I am pleased to have chosen Ray's.

This went very well. The workers moved my appliances, removed the very old vinyl, put down the new floor to my specifications.Everything was done cleanly and it took less time than they had estimated. That was more than a year ago and it's fine. I honestly don't remember how much it cost so that is an estimate and that is why I did not give an A rating for cost. I chose this company because I decided to work with a particular individual who works there and did not get competitive quotes.

I got a quote from Gabe and also from Floor Mart on hardwood flooring. The Floor Mart quote was $500 under Gabe's, which was surprising. When I told Gabe the price difference, he was very rude and told me that they're "not going to be the cheapest in town" and to "not waste our time". I overlooked his rudeness there (probably shouldn't have and just walked out at that point) and then asked him for a quote on some quartz kitchen counter tops. The only reason I did that was because they are a caesar stone dealer. I spent over 20 minutes explaining what I wanted along with the dimensions. He told me they would get right back to me. Two months later, I still haven't heard back from them. The only time that got wasted was MY TIME. It's too bad, because I was/am a serious buyer and just purchased my caesar stone counter tops from Tom Sawyer enterprizes. I was going to just let this go, but after having such good experiences from other companies I felt Angie's List members should know.

My first reaction to a review like this is to be defensive, but that is not a way for us to grow and change when the need arises. I recognize the mistakes I made in this relationship. Please allow me to explain. I did say that "we are not going to be the least expensive company." 1- Our employee's are not sub contractors, they work directly for us and we pay them well. 2- We offer the best and longest warranties in the state and we have been in business since 1975 which allows us to follow through on fulfilling them. 3- We have field supervisors who visit jobs on a daily basis to regulate quality and expediency. 4- We don't sell inferior products. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best product for their needs. 5- Our sales staff will walk you through the entire job, from product choice and method of installation all the way to the completion of the project. They are smart, engaging, and fun to deal with. For these reasons we are not the least expensive. I did not say "not to waste our time." Instead I said "I don't want to waste your time." It is important for our potential customers to understand that we offer service, we take care of you because we care, we don't work for a large corporation. Ray's Carpet One is a small, family owned, Albuquerque based and run company. If those things are not important to a potential client, then we are not the right fit for them. I obviously offended this customer and for that I sincerely apologize. It was my intent to be very clear about our values and strengths. Instead I came across as arrogant and rude. Trust me when I say that sometimes I can present myself that way and it is something I am working on. Our new store on Paseo Del Norte was not open when this customer knocked on the door. I opened the door and had them come in and even borrow samples off of displays that were not assembled yet. This was most likely a mistake as I wasn't able to service them as they deserved. We will be better!! Gabe

Both Gabe Smith and Joe Duran were very professional. They took time to talk about flooring options - both wood and tile and gave us a number of things to consider. Ultimately we went with tile and Joe worked with us all the way through scheduling. Larry did the installation and I don't know that I've ever seen better work. He was on time the first day and worked to our schedule to have the work done the day before we moved in. It wasnt' an easy installation. It required floor leveling and some detail cuts to fit to non-standard adobe walls. He came back after we moved to clean up and remove all the installation debris from both the carpet removal and tile installation. I would use Ray's again if we wanted more work done.

It didn't go very well. They were always late, I would be up until 9 o'clock at night waiting for them to show up and they've got lots of excuses and not getting the work done so we wouldn't use them again. They used the wrong color of grout that we had ordered and then when they came to fix it they didn't know what color it was and we spent a lot of time trying to solve it out, we still haven't really come to a conclusion at the end but it wasn't good. They put the carpet in the master bedroom and they used the end of the roll and it flipped back on itself so it looked like the carpet was laid the wrong way. Instead of them fixing it because they knew what caused it, we had to call them out, make appointments and they don't just come out and fix it when they do the work, you have to make another appointment and when I'm running late I wait for them, I was there at 9 o'clock at night and these people came to my house and they don't really fix it. They're always running late, they don't just come out and fix it, they make a lot of excuses, and I guess that was my main thing I just kind of want it where I want and they should say they would do it for me and fix it instead of passing the book to whoever installed it. Their secretary was nice.

Response from Ray's Carpet One
Dear Member, I understand your frustration, but it is necessary to give the full story of our relationship. We were not hired by you directly, we were hired by the company who built the subdivision in which you live. We have an entirely separate builder division which handles this part of our business and the logistics are entirely different. The scheduling, product choice, service work, and many other factors are controlled and managed by the general contractor that we work for. It is always our desire to limit the frustration any client may face, however when many new homes are being built, there are many inherent issues. The timelines on tract house construction are not entirely conducive to the end users overall satisfaction and so much of what we do depends on the trades before and after us. We will make sure that your experience causes changes in the way we communicate with all of our clients and we apologize for our lack in this area. Please keep in mind that our main goal is providing a product that will keep you happy for years and years beyond the initial installation and that we warranty our labor for the lifetime of the product. While there may have been initial frustration, we know that years from now it will pale in comparison with the durability and beauty of your floors. Thank you.

We were not that happy with the process of getting it done. Their communication left a lot to be desired. It was scheduled for a particular time. They were late in the delivery of the materials and the process took a lot longer than we anticipated. They had said it would be finished in about a week and it wound up being about two and a half weeks. Their internal communication was a real problem. The workers were very good and we have no complaints about them. But, management didn't seem to get messages to the people who were actually doing the work. We'd have to constantly follow up and as to when are they coming. The gentleman, who I think was the owner was unavailable at times. I think he was out of town and he wouldn't necessarily call back. It was a frustrating process. In the end, the work was done well. It was just a frustrating process.

Dear Member, Reviews like this are deeply disturbing to read. We work diligently at communicating both timelines, and product expectations to our clients and we feel we have let you down. When we removed the carpet in your room there were substantial issues with the cracks and the flatness of the concrete. This involved much more concrete preparation than was initially anticipated. This changed the scope of work substantially and it appears that this was not communicated to you. In the end what is most important to us is that you were delivered a quality product that is beautiful and enhances not just your home, but also your lifestyle. Sometimes this takes longer than we anticipate. We are continually working on our communication issues and again we apologize for how you felt. There is no doubt that what you commented about our installers is true. We agree wholeheartedly that they are the best crews in the state.

The work began Jan 7 & was completed Jan 12. Almost all of the flooring in our house was replaced.
Description of Work: Gabe and Mario replaced cheap, ugly carpet and vinyl with beautiful wood and tile floors. They started on time and completed a little early. They worked with us every step of the way and kept us apprised of pertinent information. I could have paid less at a big box store, but feel it is important to support local business and I am glad I know if I have any problems, they'll be right here.

Gabe and Joe were both very professional, very helpful and very knowledgable about possible solutions to issues with the existing floor. Options provided will be considered for future projects.
Description of Work: Gabe Smith provided free consultation on repairs and replacement of flooring for the Assistance League of Albuquerque Thrift Store (a non profit, philanthropic organization). He provided excellent insights and suggestions on how to improve the serviceability of the floor in what is a very high traffic, hard to maintain situation. He then arranged for Joe from Ray's Flooring to provide free estimates for several options.
