Installation, Measurement and Supplying Materials Problems
Travis is my sales rep and did a great job helping me pick LVP and bathtubs wall tile. I'm not sure if Travis measured wrong, although I'm certain the fee quote had overage for wastage and estimating errors which for which I was billed. The LVP installation is good but the installer used the last 6 ft plank and there was zero material left for future repairs. The steps were one short in the quote but Carpet One provided the piece while the installation was in progress so no delay. The installers took no care to protect my house or clothing when they used grinders on leveling cement. They should cover closets and furnishings with plastic. Very basic. Also they R&R'd my sliding 6 ft doors and didn't replace the floor guide, saying they aren't allowed to drill through the LVP. Ridiculous. We are to believe that the doors are supposed to swing in and out? YouTube shows how to drill safely or glue the guide to the floor. They mis-installed a different closet door. Now I have to hire someone else to finish Carpet One's work. The bathroom tile two man demolition team showed up Thursday afternoon and they demoed the three walls above both 5 foot bathrooms. The tile installer--one person--showed up at 10 AM Friday. He worked to 11 PM so I had to cancel my Friday evening plans. Clearly the installation team knew this wasn't a one man job. The installer completed the guest bathroom and it looks good but I had to ask the installer to remove and reinstall the soap dish which was placed about 4 inches above the bathtub. Seems like he never installed a soap dish or he didn't care. Next he told me Carpet One was short about 8 feet of Bullnose tile so he'd have to return Saturday or Monday to finish the Master Bathroom walls. Now it's late Tuesday morning and I'm told Carpet One will have the Bullnose available for installation Thursday. Great?! My master shower has been 90% complete and unusable for since Friday and it takes them 4 days to work out a solution and hopefully the 1 day, two man project will be finished in 8 calendar days. It's unfathomable that bullnose tile--needed about 50 linear feet max for this project--isn't in stock and wasn't available Monday to finish my project. I'm very unhappy with the installation. You should try a different company. UPDATE: Installer returned 6 days later. Needed about 14 pieces to finish but was only provided 10. Must order again. Another failure to perform by Carpet One. If they return Tuesday, it will have been 14 days without master bathroom. No call from Carpet One called me to update me on timing to cure their error. I had to pester them to get an update. 2nd UPDATE: Installer returned 1 week later and finished my master bathtub tile. End product looks great and extra tile remained with me for future repairs. My handyman had to add some caulk where they missed. He had to touch up paint over tile. It took two full weeks to install tile over two bathtubs. Not good, but it's finished and the end product--LVP and bathtubs tile--looks great. I felt abandoned by Carpet One on the tile mess up. I will never use Carpet One again.
