Also, I should mention we wanted him to do some tile work on a couple entry ways. I asked if the tile and carpet had to be done at the same time and he said it would be best because he would have to leave the carpet longer if he didn't do the tile so when he did the tile, bla, bla bla. So I rushed out and bought tile and then he said they didn't have time to do it. I asked the installers if they were going to leave the carpet longer for the tile job and they said there was no need for that. So I am really wondering if they ****ed up this job all the way around or what?

No you should not see any seam.
The labor should've been about 300 bucks Carpet maybe 6 or 7 hundred Padding no more than 150 for 8 pownd So say 1200 TOPS for this job and you should not see the seam

Well, the carpet was $15 a yard, between pad and carpet we paid $1600. Install was $700 including fees for moving furniture, using my vacuums (lol) and what not.

It's been my experience that when we age we tend to show some seams. The real question is do the drapes match the carpet?

We moved offices this year and they laid down carpet in our new space. I could be wrong, but I thought the carpet came in an 8' or 12' width or something, so rooms your size might end up with a seam if the figure is 8'. We had a few areas like that in some of our offices, but the seams aren't noticeable at all. They were also good about trying to put seams in doorways and stuff so it's less noticeable.

12x13=156^2 15x17=255^2 unless your stairs are 300^2 I dont see how you had 700^2ft I did a rough calculation and figured it around 45 or 50 yards (no more than 500 square feet)

I think they nickel and dimed you a couple/few hundred by:
1) selling you too much material 2) the carpet price was OK per square foot, but I think they over sold you (too many square feet) 3) they charged you too much for padding and sold you too much 4) they also charged too much for labor...that is not more than a 300-400$ job. even in california between that and the poor seaming, do not use them again... You might be better off having a better guy come in and re-do the seam and stretch it for a couple hours of labor than bothering wasting time on a lawsuit IMO...just never use them again and tell everyone how shitty they treated you. KArma is a bitch for them I do get pretty good deals and I have an outstanding carpet guy......but I would look for a different installer. Do you guys have any 'Tom Duffy' stores there? I buy my pad from them....and I shop around for my carpet....I then have my carpet installer pick everything up , he charges about 5$ a yard for pad and carpet install which is about 55 cents per sq ft....

The problem is they ran the carpet in the wrong direction, imo. Instead of running the carpet 12x17 and then putting another 3X17 strip closer to the wall like the builder did. They ran 12x15 and then another 5x15 or so, which caused a seam to run across the middle of the floor. |
