Dennis, I apologize for letting you down when it came to scheduling! I inquired about the promise of being the first install of the day and how our installer was sent to the 2nd job accidentally prior to yours. It was a mishap and those things happen. The most important thing is once they did arrive they were professional and did a good job for you! I am confident that you will enjoy your new flooring and we do appreciate the opportunity to provide flooring for your project! Thank you again and we look forward to working with you in the future for all your flooring needs. Catherine Buchanan-Owner

The in-office experience was wonderful - everyone was so helpful and timely calling me back, even though my busy schedule didn't always allow for me to answer. The carpet I chose was perfect for my room and I had a lot of help with choosing what was right for me. The reason I did not give 5 stars is that I am fairly certain I received the wrong padding installed. I was sure to order the thickest padding for the stairs and whole upstairs room; however, even after installed, you can still see small gaps between the wall and stairs, gap spaces where we painted down to the old carpet (which had a really thin pad) that are still visible even with the new carpet. I was not on-site during installation so I wasn't there to evaluate the padding, but it's hard for me to believe it's the right thickness.

Chelsea, Thank you for taking the time to reach out through our TrustPilot platform. I am happy to hear that my staff treated you wonderfully and that your selection of carpet is perfect for your room. I reviewed your purchase and the Healthy Living Cushion is our thickest pad allowed by the Carpet & Rug Institute and is our best padding that we carry. 7/16" is maximum required for carpet installation and I am confident that this is what was sent out to your home. Keep in mind the padding doesn't go all the way to the wall, only up to the tack strip so that the carpet can be stretched and attached for it to stay in tact. When the carpet gets tucked around the perimeter of the room is possibly why you are seeing a gap of existing wall and newly painted areas. it is always best to paint all the way beyond the existing carpet down to the floor if possible. if you'd like us to send my installation manager out to your home please don't hesitate to ask. We'd be happy to verify all your questions. Please don't hesitate to reach out. Catherine Buchanan-Owner

Independent Carpet has been around a long time. We have heard from friends over the years that they were good. It didn't work out that way for us. The designer we met in the showroom was obviously new, but sincere and honest. When she was not sure about something she asked for help instead of just faking it. We liked that so we ignored her pushy supervisor who wasn't listening before answering our questions and came back to buy from her. We had our job installed in two parts to allow some time to move furniture between rooms because we still needed to use the house while the carpet got replaced. The first install crew was great, the second was not. Overall, in a world full of places to buy carpet, the experience was not good enough to recommend choosing them. We would go elsewhere if we were looking again.

Kim, Thank you for taking the time to provide a helpful review. Although I'm disappointed that you had a far from perfect experience at our store and for your first time here! Many times we aren't given that second chance to improve where we failed. I would hope that we could encourage you to let us make up for the lack of professionalism you encountered. First may I apologize for the evening supervisor that may have prevented you from visiting again with Janet. Sometimes we get a little overzealous. And the installation team that came to your home the second time, I will definitely speak with him and clarify what may have gone astray! We strive to make our customer's experience as enjoyable and stress free as possible. This is an exciting time for you to reinvent a space in your home and it seems we let you down. If given the opportunity to redeem ourselves, I personally would be happy to provide my service to you as owner Thank you again for voicing your thoughts and we do appreciate your business. Enjoy your new flooring! Cathy

The selection is very good, the people friendly and helpful, but there was a problem with installation. As requested, I bought and left at the store the MinWax stain for my shoe molding 2 weeks before installation. The molding was not ready as promised and when they came to install it, I was surprised at the light color. I requested and received the can back so I could stain the ends of the cut moldings and saw why the color was different; they didn't use it. Also, one seam was not well done.

Sales people were good and helpful. Installers were nice, but I heard them complaining about the difficulty in installing the type of carpet we chose. Install did not look as good as old carpet. Some minor gaps and seams visible.

Rob, Thank you for you review! This platform allows us to hear the good, the bad and indifferent and allow us to improve where we are needing it! This helps me tremendously and believe me I will address the installer at my first opportunity! You mentioned gaps and seams being visible so our installation manager will be contacting you within the next few days and come out to inspect your installation and we will do everything necessary to make you entirely pleased with the final product! Again, thank you for taking the time to let us know and we do appreciate your business and hopefully we can work with you again with your future flooring needs! Catherine Buchanan/Owner
WILKINSON, LARRY & J.
the installers (father and son) took too long and took too many breaks ( father).also charged us 4O0 dollars extra for putting a new toilet in our half bath. And when they were finally finished, they left and our electric range wasnt working. When we called the installer, he told my husband to check the manual! They had to come back the next day to reconnect the range. We would not buy from Independent Carpet again.

Hi Larry & Jackie, Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. I've looked into your account, and I can see that it was a job done by one of our old installers and his son who are no longer with the company. I feel bad that I was not made aware of the issues with the poor remarks from my installers regarding your electric range not being reconnected properly. I am also bewildered with the additional charge of installing the new toilet and you had these issues. If you'd like, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at 734-729-6200. Otherwise I apologize for your unfortunate experience.
