The process went really well - selection, measuring, scheduling, and installation. They made it easy and painless. Allowed us to take multiple samples home. Once we made our selections, the manager Steve Baker came to our house promptly to measure the two rooms, and did it after hours when we would be home, making it convenient on us. Ordering was a breeze, the carpets were in and ready for install within the timeframe we were told. Both carpets were installed in the same week. They did a superior job. The carpet looks great! They hauled away the old carpet when done. It could not have been easier to work with them. I highly recommend working with them for your carpet and flooring needs.
Description of Work: Replace and install carpet in two rooms - basement and family room

I have not rescheduled as there is no quarantee that anyone would turn up or that future work would be completed in a timely and satisfactory manner.
Description of Work: I had been in the store to pick out carpet. The sales rep (said he was the manager) set up a date and time to come to my home to measure. He did not turn up. 2 hours and 20 minutes after he was due to arrive he called and said that time had gotten away from him and would I like to reschedule. I waited all of that time and he had not had the courtesy to call earlier. If that was the type of service at the start of the project what could I expect in terms of the rest of the service. Obviously I was not treated in what would be considered a professional manner. I have not rescheduled as there is no quarantee that anyone would turn up.

Response from Buddy's Flooring America Ridge Road
Dear Ms. [Member Name Removed], I apologize for our error in missing your measurement that was scheduled. Steve the manager of our Ridge store is typically on time and professional. I have spoke with Steve this morning and he has informed me he called to set another appointment unfortunately you chose not to at this time. I can only ask for another chance to redeem ourselves. Sincerely Buddy's Flooring America

The installation was smooth and the carpet was a great price. But they lost our payment (check)! They called us for another payment and pressed for a credit card. We had to put a stop check on the first payment and drop off a second check payment. When I tried to find out how this happened, and they explained that was probably lost in someone's purse -- but don't worry, this person is trustworthy. When I pressed for more details they explained that the person was the manager's sister and introduced me to the manager. Like that makes me feel better? Good price, good installation, but shoddy/weak/strange business practices. No way would I give them a credit card number. Second check has cleared and I do wonder about the first check.
Description of Work: Installed carpet in inside stairway, hallway, and three bedrooms.

Response from Buddy's Flooring America Ridge Road
I'm not sure how any deposit gets lost it happens rarely. I apologize for your having to make another trip to the store. I would like to pay for your stop payment charge. The sister in reference also works here it just so happens to be the managers sister, I hope this information is helpful. I am pleased that the installation and carpet price was great. Thank you very much for your business.

Everything was very professional and I would use them again.
Description of Work: I did not go to the Ridge Rd. store. I went to the new one on Mosteller Rd. in Sharonville. Dave Furr the manager helped me make a selection of carpet for my house. He also was the one to come and measure my rooms and closets. He called me a few days later and we made a date for installation. When the men came, they removed my old carpet and rolled it into small rolls and put it in my garage because my garbage man would not be here for a week and did not want it to get wet. I had 2 rooms and a hallway carpeted. They cleaned up and run a sweeper over the carpet.

Great--professional, good work, great carpet, good price. My only complaint: I was scheduled for an afternoon installation and they insisted on coming in the morning because it worked best for them. This put me in a bind.

All questions were answered to my satisfaction. Salesman from Mostellar Road location came out to measure room. Initial measurements taken were not perpendicular to the wall thus giving inaccurate measurement. When questioned about this technique, the salesman stated "the measurement would be close enough because we add extra to the dimension anyway". After continued questions about his technique, the salesman re-measured the room using the proper technique. Still waiting for cost information for the second carpet.
Description of Work: Provided verbal quote to install carpet in basement and answered questions. Initial contact was thorough and fast but follow-up has been a problem. Also scheduled to come out and measure room.

It was excellent. The kitchen is kind-of broken up and they used one piece to do the whole thing. There are no seams throughout the whole floor. They did a really beautiful job.
Description of Work: They installed a completely new kitchen floor.

They were a middle of the road service company with middle of the road product, with decent pricing. They got the job done, were basically on time (maybe 1/2 hour late) and did a decent job. The carpet is tight but the edges are a little frayed after a year(could be the carpet type). Altogether, I got the feel that I got carpet from a business that was trying to lay the most carpet the could to make the most money they could, and customers were on their priority list, just not as high as profit. Since then, I have found better options for my carpeting needs.
Description of Work: Installed carpet on the 3rd floor of house.

The experience was great- the carpet looks wonderful & it was an easy process all around. The carpet dried in a day & very few of the stains returned.
Description of Work: Steam cleaned carpet in 12x12 room. The process took about 1 hour & was very non-invasive. The worker moved some furniture (not computers, etc). The worker was very professional.
