Life Carpet Installer Screw Up Question... - Page 4

**petegz28** · 06-05-2017, 08:34 AM

For those of you who have experience installing carpet I would really appreciate some advice. I recently had my living room, dining room, hallway and 2 small flights of stairs carpeted. The installers ran a seam right across the middle of the living room floor going from the front of the house to the back. The builder had run the seem closer to the wall going from one side of the house to the other and it was covered up by furniture, etc.

They did a crap job on the seam and came back out and fixed it. But you can still see the seam, obviously. I am having a hard time getting the installer to respond now. He told me there was some reason or another for running the seam that way but I don't buy it. The living room is only 15x17. The dining room is roughly 12x13. I'm clueless when it comes to installing carpet but it appears they laid the carpet in the wrong direction which is why they had to put 2 huge pieces in the living room.

Anyhow, I am starting to talk with the people I bought the carpet from and look for a new installer but I most certainly don't want to flip the additional cost out of my pocket. Also the installers tore up my wood trim and some of the walls and I even tried to be nice and told the owner that if he makes the seam right then not to worry about the other stuff. I didn't even get so much as $1 off of my bill. And I have used the guy before so I am starting to think he knows his guys did a crap job and is trying to run from doing anything costly and will even give up my business.

Am I on ground to sue this guy if I have to pay for this to be re-done properly by someone else?

Were the installers Russian?

I've used him before. He sent his jv team I think was the problem.

Not sure I could face my wife.

Is it national act like a dick day and I missed the announcement?

I just really don't like that guy. Stupidity bothers me.

I'd spend the $300 and get new carpet and a new installer on the job. They're not going to be able to lipstick this pig.

Not remembering the exact details of something like replacing carpet?

scorpio · 06-08-2017, 05:11 AM

You really wouldn't remember the details of a multi-thousand dollar contract you signed days ago? Maybe you and Pete should be married.

Petegz28 is either:

a) mentally reeruned (seems likely)
b) willfully stupid
c) not telling the whole truth in this thread and trying to get over on a contractor
d) all of the above

You sure seem awfully obsessed with me for whatever reason. I mean, for not liking me much as you stated you sure seem awfully worried about this. Typically when I dislike someone to the level of which you claim to dislike me, I just ignore them as most adults would. Never mind you have gone into multiple threads just to tell me how you wish I would die and what not. I'm sorry if I'm in your head, that's your problem.

Pete, the seam isn't meant for you to run your dick over it. Try using your foot.

Did Pete bang your wife?

The **** is wrong with this scorpio fella? Most oddly personal roast I've seen in a while here.
