Saleman great; installers terrible in odd respects
Below is my correspondence regarding my concern. Judge for yourself whether or not it's of any concern to you:I am so sorry. I will address this with the installer right now.

I do wish we would have gone with the memory foam padding, as the feel isn’t as soft or plush feeling as I hoped. I recognize part of that is the lighter weight carpet over the top end options we considered, but I still feel like better padding would have been the answer. Oh well. It still looks great. That’s the good news. As for your installers. I wouldn’t allow them back in my house. Sorry. There were little things that didn’t amount to anything until my wife threw a fit once she discovered “dirty” toilet paper on the floor in our master bathroom. The skid marks in the toilet can be chalked up to inattentiveness, but her having to pick up used toilet paper with shit on it off the floor was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Additionally, the stove glass top was filthy when we bought the house so Jennifer put a lot of work and cleaning product into making it look as new as possible. Needless to say, we expected it to be that way when the workers left. Instead it had had I can only assume were tortillas cooked onto the surface that required razor-blading off the cooked on stuff and Cerama Bryte-ing it again. My wife is a sweetheart, but she was understandably pissed about those two things above. In all fairness, I was too. The little things that could have been easily addressed or over-looked include: A busted baseboard (pic attached) and the failure to re-install the threshold in one room. I admit the threshold was not obvious as it was next to the ceiling fan blades that were next to the doorway, so that might be on me for not inspecting the job before they left. The busted baseboard can be fixed with some time and effort (not the least of which might be trying to find identical replacement… I may just end up having to caulk it. Of the most minor infractions is that it doesn’t seem too much to ask for them to occasionally close the exterior door on a 90 degree day when they’re upstairs working. I understand if they’re running in an out how it could be a pain in the ass to set down a roll of padding or carpet to open shut a door, but I also don’t think it should have been necessary for me to discover it having been left open the entire time they where upstairs while I was there – at least until I closed it myself. Again, no biggie, just kind of inconsiderate in my opinion. I do appreciate that one of the guys called to ask if they could have the sodas in my refrigerator. Kinda of odd that they were looking in the fridge, but at least he asked rather than just taking them. I, of course, told him it was fine – as I would never say no to that. Maybe next time he should ask if it’s okay for them to cook lunch directly on the stovetop, too. Thank you for your time. Despite my beef with the installers, you did a great job. -end- The email response was the last I heard from anyone other than a voicemail from someone from Carpet One that I returned, twice, only to be able to leave a message that was never returned back.
