Vinyl Flooring Installation Review
We bought a new house and replaced the entire first floor flooring with vinyl plank. This was a large job, about 1,600 square feet - kitchen, living room, dining room, bathrooms, utility room, master bedroom, master bath and master closet. We were very excited to have new flooring in our new house.
Our experience with Carpet One couldn't have been worse.
The quote they gave us included an estimated total charge of $48 for floor leveling cement. That's a total of one bag of floor leveling cement. One bag might cover a very small bathroom. Who estimates on a quote one bag for 1,600 square feet? Carpet One does, so that quote looks lower. The final cost of the floor leveling cement was $1,056. Add $1,000 to my final bill that I did not plan on. Thanks Carpet One.
The quote also indicated that they would pull the toilet and a pedastal sink. It did not say they would not reinstall them. If they take toilets, why can't they reinstall them or at least state such on the quote? I called a local, well-known plumber and his charge to reinstall two toilets was $500. Add $500 to the quote and the final cost of the project. Thanks Carpet One.
Here's the biggie! Once again the very inaccurate quote states, "baseboard - pull and reset." The total cost to do that was $1,72.50. They pulled off almost 400 square feet of baseboard. When the crew pulled off the baseboards, nearly every piece broke (some of them broke in half). That didn't matter to Carpet One. They reinstalled broken baseboard that was broken in half, didn't match at the corners, etc. Are you kidding me? Who does that? Add $2,500 to the cost of the project for me to hire an outside company to install new baseboards. Thanks Carpet One.
Our experience with trying to get someone from Carpet One to address our concerns were similar to many of the other reviews here - nonexistent.
