Carpeted Driveways?

[RetrOmatic]

Don't move a single game in there yet.

Call the company, ask to speak with the owner, and invite them to come out and see if they feel this is a satisfactory install that reflects their company's work.

99 times out of 100, it will solve your problem.

Really sorry to hear of your trouble.

The classic thing to say is " would you be happy with this finish in your house ? "

If you think Carpet and Vinyl is tricky , wait to you start doind Epoxy resin based floors .

you are mixing 2 part GLUE in peoples houses ,[ sometimes with 5 components ] epoxy resin is Araldite with a modified hardener , if the person mixing gets the mix ratio wrong , it does not go off ! the next Moring the customer walks in the room , and slips over in unset honey like resin , or worse , 90 % set resin . you then have to blow torch off with a scraper as well .

Each trade has it`s toughness no question here in how tough Vinyl or carpet can be either .

Epoxy resin has no trade , it`s not an apprenticeship thing , you gotta learn from other guys , then going out and doing your own work is another skill.

My motto is that " i hate coming back to fix a floor" i feel like i have let everybody down , that gets to me , so i finish a job up to my high expectations , i do not get any call back work on my behalf .

Call your local news stations... find out who their "TROUBLESHOOTER" is... they usually have one... give them your info... see if they can help. Increase the heat... check with the local paper about a "troubleshooter" columnist as well...

... report them to the BBB (not that it does much).

If you used a CC, you can dispute the charge...

... take plenty of photos.

Get the "independent inspector"'s report.

If you have to... take the bastards to small claims court.

Well Olson Rug finally e-mail this morning asking how much the carpet costs. I hope they replace they whole thing with a PROPER installation. I have a feeling that they are only going to replace the top step and back alcove area where they ran out of carpet. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[cadillacman]

crissing my fingers for ya. mabye youll get reimbursed for the carpet and install, then free mismatched bl carpet wont be so bad...

Reality is that you'll spend more on the lawyer than you'll ever get out of it. Best you could do with a lawyer is to just have him send a threatening letter that may or may not scare him. If not, then no point in using the lawyer further.

Best bet is to make his life as much hell as you can. BBB, local consumer nightmare story on TV, publish bad reviews everywhere you can online....yelp, yahoo, google, etc.. So anytime someone searches for them online they'll come across your review. I would let him know what is coming too and that you'll NEVER let this drop! The more they fear you the more they will want to get you to go away!

Will probably file a small claims suit, only $186 filing fee no lawyer needed.

Already posted my 1st negative review on Yahoo.

Already e-mailed the President of Olson Rug, Andy Hader.

I just read your review on yahoo. Note that there is an UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS link at the top right of the page. I would upload the photos of the problem areas with some text notes on the images perhaps...

Bastards.
