I hired this company to put in granite counter tops, carpeting and plank flooring in my kitchen. We were asked to put 1/2 down on the job and assured "you can back out at any time and get your money back" which was a lie. We decided to back out after seeing several bad reviews and were referred to "Dave. Director of operations" Dave spoke with my wife and basically called her a liar sayng "our sale reps would never say you can get your down payment back" Our choice was to walk away from 2500 bucks with nothing or muscle through this. We chose the latter and it was a huge mistake. The person who came to the house to measure everything, measured the counter tops wrong (thanks for the big unsightly seam in our granite!) and if that wasn't bad enough they measured the carpeting wrong too. The carpet layers they sent out, one could speak no English and the other very little, did a really bad job laying the carpet, screwed up the threshold from the carpet the to the kitchen flooring (which cost me another 275 to get fix and done right by another carpet company)

If I seen these guys coming up the driveway to do any work on my house I would rather strike a match and burn it down.
I would never let them darken my doorway again.

Don't walk, run away from these clowns.

We bought flooring and granite counter tops from 651 Carpets and are mostly satisfied. They suggested a sealer and cleaner to spray on the granite. We used the product and now have yellow marks where the seams come together on the granite at 2 different locations on the counter top. I have called 651 Carpets numerous times and have emailed them several times without resolve to our repair issue. At one point I got someone live on the phone and he said the repair guy was out on vacation that week but would contact me that next week. That was over a month ago and I have had no return contact from 651 Carpet to repair the granite.

This is unfortunately a maintenance related issue and not a product flaw. Granite is not a manufactured product but rather a natural stone that comes from the earth. As the customer states, the granite looked and performed perfect for the first 2 months after installation. If the customer has used an abrasive cleaning agent or the product was not sealed properly then it is prone to staining and regarded a maintenance issue. While we do offer a lifetime warranty on the labor of the project, there is no warranty on the natural product. As with any purchase, the customer must take care of and maintain their purchase to keep it looking beautiful. We did review the complaint and had our granite manager try to reach the customer for explanation. We are sorry if the two did not connect as of yet. We will reach out to the customer and let them know the scenario. Thanks again for reviewing this-

Customer Response • May 24, 2018

I am rejecting this response because: 651 Carpets has yet to contact me via email or phone concerning this flaw after I have reached out to them numerous times. Do they know what we used on the granite? Why did their response say we used "an abrasive cleaning agent" when nobody from their company has even bothered to contact me for MONTHS about this issue? That assumes a lot when they have no idea since they haven't bothered to even ask. They collected my money with no issue but have yet to stand behind their work. I would like someone from their company to visit our home to see what I am referring to with the yellowing of the granite.

After doing some research we think the issue is green bloom from the adhesive used to glue to slabs together. Can we get that confirmed from 651 Carpets?

651Carpets Response • Jun 13, 2018

Unfortunately there is nothing more we can do for the customer. We install 1000's of granite countertops every year, and we use the same adhesives for all of our jobs with no issues or complaints. We also apologize if the previous reply was taken the wrong way. We certainly have no idea what cleaners, chemicals, or sealants the customer may have used to care for their countertops, that is why we wrote "if" the customer may have used one of these. Natural stone can react differently to many things, and proper care must be taken to keep the granite looking beautiful. Again, there is no complaint about the installation (which we warranty), and the natural granite product has no warranty. We have also included our granite checklist that clarifies these things. Thanks again for reviewing.

We ordered carpeting from 651 Carpets. We gave them 3412.00 dollars. We signed their contract. We looked into the quality of the carpeting and wanted to upgrade.We were told ourcarpet was already cut and could not do that even though we were scheduled 6 weeks later. I have never heard of a company that won't let you spend more money. We decided to get the carpet we ordered. We were scheduled for May 5th. We were contacted May 4th and were told they had a flood in the warehouse and we would have to reorder the carpet. I then was told I could get a different carpet if I wanted it installed that weekend. I found that strange if all the carpet was damaged. I told Max I would call my husband and check with him. Max then left me a message that they had found s roll and it was was what we ordered.They came out to install the next day. It was not the carpet we ordered. I have read at least 20 complaints against this business very similar to mine. I have been so upset with the treatment we have received. I am not willing to trust this company to install my carpeting. We feel we have been lied to and swindled.

651Carpets Response • May 22, 2018

We have been in constant contact with the customer, and have been more than flexible with their order. We have allowed them to change their order and have tried to accommodate as much as possible, but the accusations that they are making are completely false. We would never change a product out from what was ordered by the customer. We did have a unfortunate flood in our warehouse from a water line break that ruined a lot of carpet (including the cut orders for jobs), but the carpet that the customer ordered and signed for is a "stocked" product. We opened a new roll that was unaffected by the water damage and cut the job specific to size for them again without any problem. The install date that was requested was kept and we showed up to install, but the customers would not allow the installers in and told them to leave. This created a lost day of work for our installers and the job not to be completed. Our quality control manager also spoke with the customer and assured them that the carpet that was brought out for installation was exactly what was ordered. We matched it up with the sample board, and it is 100% a match. We are now left with the customer's carpet that is special cut for the project, and we are also forced to pay the installers for the day of work after getting refused on site. We certainly want to service the customer and install the carpet, so we are willing to waive the trip charge and come back out. We cannot refund any money as wwe have done nothing wrong. There would normally be an additional charge to come back out to a project after installation confirmation, but we will waive that as promised. We look forward to hearing from the customer to set their installation date soon. Thanks again for reviewing this matter-

Customer Response • May 22, 2018

I am rejecting this response because:The business practices of this company are not satisfactory and I have no trust in the installation of the carpeting. I am cancelling my order. As per your contract I am due 50% of my deposit. I want a cashier's check and I need to receive it within 2 weeks or I will be filing a complaint with small claims court for the total amount of deposit.

651Carpets Response • May 22, 2018

We are certainly sorry to hear that is your decision with the matter, but we can cancel your order with the 50% restocking fee if you so choose. We pride ourselves in our business practices and strive to make every customer happy. That is why we were more than flexible with your work order, special requests, and even your decision to not get the installation on the confirmed date. We are a "stand up" company that loves its customers, and we are sorry that you feel slighted in any way. We assure you that we have done EVERYTHING possible to execute your contract exactly as written and signed for. We will use this as written proof of cancellation. We hope we can help you in the future

I purchased granite counter tops with their salesman Robert *** on Friday, March 16th, 2018. I was VERY CLEAR that if they could not get the counter tops installed by the end of March, I wanted a refund of the $1500 I put down and to hold off until later in the year as I have a hectic travel schedule. I was told "no problem." The required install date was written on the contract and agreed to be March 23rd. March 21st I get a call from Max the installer wanting to schedule but he claims he can't install until mid to late April. I told him what my agreement with Robert was and he agreed to call me back. No call back. I called & texted Robert the next day, no call back. The following day I tried both Max and Robert. Again no call backs. I then called my credit card company to have the charges reversed, sensing that this company was no on the up and up. 651 produced a copy of the agreement and had to reverse the charges because, I am told, they responded and are required to. Their cancellation agreement states 3 days but how would I have known there was even an issue until 5 days later. Now they are saying I am out the $1500 because I cancelled. No counters, nothing. I have tried to call on other occasions and get no where. This is pretty shady business practices and I will be hiring an attorney if I am unable to get resolution soon. At the very least, I would have expected a call back and a credit towards my install in the fall. Nothing.

651Carpets Response • May 14, 2018

We are certainly sorry for the miscommunication with this order... we have since spoke with the customer and a full refund has been issued for the $1500. Our apologies again-

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

on november 11 2017 we had a salesman come to our home so we could pic out some carpet . my wife and I decided with the help of the salesman Will *** from 651Carpets Peppercorn was the Carpet we Decided on because it was Dark and wouldn't show the Dirt so we Signed Papers I took my Copies Folded them as we Shook Hands and he said we would be very happy with the peppercorn because it was more plush also. November 17 2017 I came home Early and Seen the installers bringing in a Roll of Carpeting I Stopped him and said that he was installing the Wrong Carpeting. The installer showed me his paper work and when I found mine it said the same thing 720 Oxford. I called the salesman Will *** and asked him if he recalled the Carpeting we Decided on he Say's to me wasn't it Peppercorn yes that's what we decided on but you wrote the wrong name on the paper work so he told me to call 651Carpets so I did the Product manager told me to let the installers install the rest of it and they would come out at a later date and switch it out. Justin from 651Carpets called me on january 17 2018 and said sorry the paper work was buried and he said he would call me back with a date to switch it out. Justin called me back march 12 2018 and told me he talked to his boss since I signed the papers they could only give me a %10 discount but he could not switch tha carpeting out both Justin and the salesman know what we wanted installed and at this point we are not happy with this out come we are paying for the wrong carpet which we were more less promised it was gonna be switched out and now it's not . Our House is in Boxes waiting for 651Carpets to switch the Carpeting out. Any Help from the Revdex.com would be Greatly appreciated thank you.

651Carpets Response • Apr 24, 2018

We are certainly disappointed that the customer is not fully satisfied with their selection and purchase with our company. We have fully installed the product that was signed off on during the time of sale, and we have made sure that the product that was installed matches the work order. The customer is wanting a different color of the same style carpet than what was signed off on and paid for at the time of the sale. After signing off on the "no cancellation" form we cut and readied the carpet specific for their project. We talked with the sales consultant for this project and he said that both colors were mentioned as options, but that the customer ultimately went with the 720 Oxford. We have included both the signed sales order slip and signed non-cancellation form. Again, we have verified that the customer received exactly what was signed off on, and there are no issues with the installation. Our Quality Control Manager has been in contact with the customer a few times, and has even offered a partial refund to try and appease the customer. There is no issue or fault from our company, but we do strive to have happy customers. Thank you for reviewing this complaint-

I had countertops installed by 651carpets and asked to view the product prior to installation. But before I had the chance to view the product, the installers were ripping out my old countertops. I was told that the countertops had already been customized and since I had already paid that was what I was getting.

651Carpets Response • Apr 05, 2018

We are confused as to what the issue is with this complaint? The project that was completed at this address was under a different name and signed off on by that individual (***). We installed the exact color option that was signed off on and paid for at time of purchase. If there are any issues with the installation we would be more than willing to help the customer out, but if the customer is looking to change the color of granite they would need to purchase new material. We have included the original work order, and we have confirmed that the color that was installed matches the color that was ordered. Thank you for reviewing-

Customer Response • Apr 05, 2018

I am rejecting this response because:
I am the owner of the residence in which the countertops were installed. I am also the individual that paid for the product. I should have been the person named on the contract and any communications should have been brought to my attention for my approval. *** lives at my residence and does not pay me to reside here. This company needs to understand that they need to work with the person who owns the home as well as the person who pays for the services.Thank you .

Very Very Bad CompanyI hired 651 carpets to do two jobs in my home. Install granite counter tops and luxury vinyl flooring. When the salesman comes to your home he will push to do the free financing, DON'T DO IT! you will have no leverage at this point. I did it because I didn't want to pay the guy half down at the time. The other clue this is a bad company they make you deal with the installation of everything you want to have done. Once the salesman makes the sale, he will never help you again. Everyone you talk to at this company will lie to you. I can't even tell you how many lie's I was told. They ran out of my floor, they told me they would be back in the morning to finish. Come to find out they all knew they had to order more flooring from the Mfg and I didn't get my floor done until two weeks later. They left my floors unfinished, appliances in the middle of my living room nails sticking up from the floor, because I had a real wood floor they tore out. They left my trim molding outside, in the garage, down the basement. When I called them the next day they told me they would be out later that day, knowing full well they didn't have the floor. When they finally did get the floor in, they sent one person to finish who had no idea what went where. So they had to get the original crew to come back the next day to finish. I can't express enough, Very Very Bad Company!

David *** came out and gave me an estimate of $2085.00. I ordered/signed a contract and paid their required 1/2 down at time (February 26, 2018), heck #1456. I was told that the remaining balance would be due at the end of the install. So we proceeded to get it ordered/scheduled. I was called and left a message the afternoon of 3/13 stating that my service was scheduled for the next day for the install and that the balance would be due BEFORE installing. I called back later that afternoon to confirm the install but that I wasn't comfortable paying the entire amount until it was finished. The gal said that she didn't know what other business do, but that is their process. She stated that I could see the carpet in the back of the delivery/install van ahead of time, but that the installer wasn't going to go ahead unless I paid up front for it and that I couldn't pay with check, it had to be credit card or money order! I reluctantly agreed. The carpet was delivered/installed the next day 3/14 after I gave my credit card info/auth. over the phone. It was installed after over 11 hours and we walked through. The installer (Josh Munson) and I walked around and noticed 2 vent openings weren't cut out. He cut the necessary openings and then he left. I assumed that everything was done. The next day, I noticed another vent opening not cut. I cut that out myself. When replacing a vent cover that he had cut the night before, I noticed that he cut too much carpet and that I couldn't use the existing one. I called and left a message at 651carpets. I went to LOWES to buy a variety of sizes of vent covers and couldn't find one to fit.I talked to Justin (Service Mgr). Showed him pictures of the problem, he said he'd look it over and see what they could do. He called me later in the day (3/15) to say that there's nothing they can do, that it's my fault, that there's nothing they can/ do. To contact a fabricator to make one for me at my own expense, no compensation or satisfaction!

651Carpets Response • Mar 27, 2018

We are sorry to hear that the customer is not fully satisfied, but the carpet installation was done exactly as it was supposed to be done. The vent holes in question were cut by the installer under direct instruction of size and placement from the customer. The new vents that were purchased may be a different size, but again, the customer had directed the installer to cut the size. The entire installation was done perfectly and in a timely manner. Our installation manager has also spoke directly with the customer and tried to explain the process, but the customer does not accept the fact that she chose to have the carpet cut to the specifications that are now "non-fixable". The customer will need to have her vent opening filled with a custom vent cover to fit. Our installers do what the customer asks and are not liable for changes after an installation. Thanks again for reviewing this...

Customer Response • Mar 27, 2018

I am rejecting this response because:First of all I did NOT instruct Installer to cut forgotten vent holes! He did that. I did not say how big to cut the holes assuming he knew what he was doing and had done this before. What about the other forgotten vent hole that I discovered the next day?

651Carpets Response • Mar 27, 2018

We would have certainly come back to cut out the vent opening, but we did not receive a call to do so... The customer cut the vent out on their own. We hope that the customer can find a vent cover that fits and looks attractive along with their new carpet. Thanks again for reviewing-

I am very angry and Disappointed with 651CARPETS Wrong Carpet installed befor last thanksgiving 2017 salesman had the wrong name on the paper work and when I called him to ask what carpet we agreed on he knew and when I told him what he had on the paper work he told me I had to call 651CARPETS and tell them what was going on I am wondering why I'm doing this salesman's Job so I called and the guy said let the installers install the rest of the wrong carpeting and they would come out at a later Date to switch it out when they left they hung the wrong doors and also left a big mess nails and carpet strands all over the place January 17 651carpets calls me says he would call me with a date to switch out my carpet it is now March 12 2018 and still waiting on that call #1 They have very poor Customer Service # 2 when they put me on hold or transfer me to some one else it hangs up I will never do Business with this company ever again I've made 4 payments for carpeting I don't even have installed yet this is not Right Signed a very Angry and unsatisfied Customer !!!

651 Carpets installed carpet in our townhouse. As apart of the service they were to remove carpet and move furniture. The installers made 10 dime - nickel sized holes in our walls. I have contacted my sales rep after calling 651 carpets customer service line 3 times. They do not answer nor return messages. My sales rep said he was going to take care of it and have them call me and they have yet to do that as well. I’m simply looking for 651 Carpets to pay for the bill to fix the walls they ruined.

651Carpets Response • Feb 21, 2018

We have contacted the customer and are making the requested repairs... Unfortunately dings and scratches are part of most installations and construction projects, and our signed checklist clearly states what may happen at time of install. We have spoke with the customer and have decided that the dings in the wall were excessive and that we would have them repaired at our expense. We are sorry for any inconvenience, but we are happy that we could satisfy the customer's request. Thanks again-

I contracted with 651 carpets for granite installation Dec. 8, 2017. I keep calling but no one calls back about starting the job. Apparently the granite was special order. They won't answer their phones or call back from messages left. I paid a down payment.

651Carpets Response • Feb 12, 2018

We have been in contact with the customer numerous times and explained the process and details at length. Her special order product is not something that we stock... it is an imported product that takes time to be cut, packaged, and shipped (this was explained at time of purchase). The product is currently in transit overseas, and there is nothing that we can do to expedite the delivery of product. We have explained this to the customer, and we look forward to completing the project as soon as we have the product available. We have also installed the customers carpet portion of her purchase already to full satisfaction. To submit a complaint on delivery of special order product doesn’t make sense, but we certainly would like to make the customer happy. We also have given the customer other options of colors and styles if the timeline was an absolute necessity. We will be contacted the customer as soon as we have the product available for install. Thanks again for the review of this complaint-

Revdex.com:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

This company installed hardwood flooring, after they demanded all their money up front, now we have no leverage for them to complete the work. The work order states remove and replace hand rail and toilet, our toilet is still sitting by our front door. we have trim work missing. My daughter slipped and fell in the foyer from the step that's missing wood because they did not have the wood to finish the job. We were not properly informed about the purchase of the wood, after we made the purchase they said the wood was on back order and was so for 2 months after the purchase. On the day of install they said they will not install unless it's all paid in full. Who does that? No contractor does this! Its despicable, how they appear to be a stand up company with an A rating. They should have an F rating, and should be in business. I am frustrated because my work is unfinished and they have been paid in full.
Their sales guy Will, misrepresented himself and the sale to begin with, he did not advise on better choices as far as the wood chosen, we have real wood and should have chosen real wood as opposed to engineered, because now our floor doesn't match up with the stair case. Any good contractor or company would've informed us that the wood cannot be replaced unless the hand rail was taken out, and in order to do that, it would not have been able to be put back together like before. They are liars and schemers. and should not be in business.
I am distraught over this, because I have 5 small children running around on an unfinished floor.

651Carpets Response • Feb 01, 2018

We have been in contact with this customer numerous times during the installation of this large project, and the minor issues mentioned have since been addressed. The installation was complete besides a couple of specialty transition pieces. These pieces have been ordered and are awaiting arrival for installation. Our installers have been back out to do all that can be done until the product arrives for the last bit of finish work. In regards to the toilet, we apologize for any misunderstanding there may have been as to the removal and replacement. We are not licensed plumbers and do not ever assume the liability of performing any plumbing. Our installers can remove a toilet, but replacing it properly must be done by either a licensed plumber or the homeowner in case of any leaks and such. That being said, we have hired a contracted plumber to put the toilet back in place to make this customer happy.. We have tried to go above and beyond to do everything possible for the customer. The flooring project looks great and there is minimal work to finish. We would like the last transition pieces to be available as much as the customer so that it would be complete, but we are at the mercy of the mill to receive them. To dispute the charges and request any credit is not fair. We will absolutely finish the project in entirety, and it will be in a quality manner. Thanks again for reviewing this complaint-

We had carpet installed 2 years ago and were disappointed in the installation from the beginning, where the carpet is placed next to other flooring, for example, our hardwood or tile flooring the carpet was never tucked, so therefore it does not lay flush with the other flooring. In fact, with the level of separation between the flooring, the carpet nails literally poke through and stick straight up out of the tack strip, the carpet is fraying and looks so terrible. We let them know our concerns and they sent someone out to the house when we were not home, this person left a vm with my husband saying he 'stretched' the carpet piece in our closet/master bath (the smallest piece we had laid)...and that was it...never heard from them again, no return calls/follow-up calls etc...I reached out to them and followed their process to complain on January 3, 2018 and have not gotten any response.

651Carpets Response • Feb 01, 2018

We have been in contact with the customer since receiving the complaint, and although this may be a carpet manufacturing related issue we are going to replace the carpet fully to satisfy the customer. This order was installed over 2 years ago, and this is the first that we have heard of the complaint. We may have been able to remedy the issue if we had known about it earlier? Unfortunately, claims over 1 year old do not cover labor. We would be willing to provide and replace the carpet for only the labor cost. Although we don't think this was the right forum to reach us, we are still looking forward to working with the customer to resolve this dispute. Thanks-

Customer Response • Feb 02, 2018

I am seeking more information from this response because:Our concerns were validated in that the carpet was not holding up as it would be expected & that the installation was done in a way that would not meet high standards or quality work. As far as the best forum to pursue submitting our complaints go I’d beg to differ in our experience & response. We made 2 prior reports of our dissatisfaction known. The 1st of which was immediately following the initial installation 2 years ago and the 2nd direct communication to 651Carpets occurred on 1.2.18 at which time I was asked to submit pictures. Immediately the next day I emailed detailed concerns and attached several photos to support these concerns. It was with this I was told to expect a response within 2 weeks. Following 3 weeks without so much as an email response I chose to pursue the complaint through the Revdex.com. We’ve appreciated the responsiveness and follow through from Justin at 651Carpets & the willingness to work towards a desired response. Your company website states: “We know flooring is a large investment and we will protect you and your investment. At 651 Carpets, we give you great products with great warranties that provide years of coverage on your investment.” AND “Our certified installers are the best in the flooring business, and we guarantee it with our lifetime installation warranty.” With this, I am challenged by the response of 651Carpets stating that claims submitted over 1 year of installation no longer cover labor costs? We accept the offer to have the carpet replaced. However, before assuming any labor costs for this replacement, I am seeking to gain understanding and receive a response to my above stated question. My last request, which I feel is a fair request is that I’d want confirmation that the installation crew comes with well-known experience and that their work is known to be quality work so that the job will be done without error this time. Thank you, Tara

We paid 651 carpets a deposit of 700 dollars for half of the service to install flooring in our kitchen. That was back in the end of September 2017 and have only received 2 calls back from 651 carpets. We have made MULTIPLE attempts at reaching them at any of their numbers, and even tried calling the sales representative who never answers nor calls back. We have left multiple voice mails as well. The only time we got a call back was when we mentioned taking different course of action to get our money back after failing to answer their phones. We have called twice in the last two days repeating the same voice mail (that we would take a different course of action) and received calls back VERY shortly after. It was only than did they decided our phone call was important to them. We haven't been able before that to reach them to talk about canceling our contract or even being able to make an appointment for installation.

651Carpets Response • Jan 11, 2018

We apologize that you feel you have been misled with placing your order. We understand that you paid us a deposit of $700 to pay to order your product on 9/26/2017. We have left you two voicemails to schedule your installation--10/2/2017 (12:41pm), and another follow up call again on 12/13/2017 (12:17pm) after receiving no response from the first initiated call. We value our customers very much and are very diligent about returning contact with them.We presume that you may have an invalid number that you may have been calling, as we record all of our calls and show no records for a callback to schedule installation. The call we received from you was on 1/4/2018 in attempt to cancel your order. I assure you that we would make haste to return your call if we had any record of your attempts to reach us to schedule installation. We also apologize if you've had trouble getting in touch with your sales representative. We will make sure to get in touch your representative and make sure they're answering and returning all of their phone calls. We specifically remember the conversation on 1/4/2017 and are more than happy to write our solutions again here. We've used the $700 deposit to order your product. Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to cancel without penalty (the 50% restocking fee would occur as stated on the bottom of the signed work order). Our ultimate goal is fulfill the original order, and we would love to be able to set your installation date and deliver your product. The remaining balance would then be due on the date of installation. If you're not ready for your installation to occur, then we will hold your product as this is another option we would be more than happy to accommodate with. I hope this resolves your concerns. We would love to hear from you when you've made your decision!

Subcontractors used by 651 Carpets to install my countertops did not shim up the countertops correctly, did not recenter my stove between my cabinets and took a hacksaw to one trim piece to the left of my stove, for no reason, as well as scuffed up/marked up my pantry cabinet as it was a "tight fit" (their words) to put that granite piece in. They did come back to shim up one side and that is satisfactory but I have never had such a horrible experience with a crew as I did with this crew of 4 subcontractors. Not only that, they stole something from my garage - not of much value but they were the only people in my garage the day of install and it's the principle of the matter. If those are the types of people 651 Carpets hires out for subcontractors, then they need to find different crews of subcontractors. This was by far the WORST experience I have ever had with a home/remodel project.

651Carpets Response • Jan 04, 2018

The installation crew that did the work at this customer's home is excellent and rarely (if ever) has any issues. They do superb work and would never take something from a customer's home. For this complaint to even mention any type of theft is unwarranted. The installation crew has gone out to the customer's home 3 times (one of which she refused them to enter her home) to address any type of issues she may have. The acquisitions that are being made are totally false and nothing was done incorrectly with the installation. The customer's cabinets are the real issue, and this was brought to the attention of the customer at time of install. The customer was informed of the options due to the cabinets and openings, and the installers did what they were told. They never used a hacksaw or anything of the like. We have tried to contact the customer to speak and go over the job, but there is never an answer nor a response to voicemails left. We did credit back $25.00 for the mystery gas can that went missing (although the installers swear up and down that they never would have done that) out of the garage. Of course we want to have happy customers, and that is why the installers went back to the home to remedy any issues, but there is nothing else that can be done in this case. No monetary credit will be given. We have also attached the post install checklist and completion sign off form that the customer signed for review-

Customer Response • Jan 05, 2018

I am rejecting this response because: The issue still remains of three cabinet trim pieces that I will now need to fix - 1 that they scuffed while putting the granite in (pantry trim piece that they showed me granite was "tight" to fit in there and also the trim piece to the left of the stove that was cut. I have pictures of those trim pieces after the cupboards were installed intact and not cut if you want me to provide them. They are the only people that would have had access or done anything to those trim pieces. I also need a trim piece to cover up the big gaping hole they left to the right of the stove that was not present before. So that's 3 trim pieces that I need to match to my cupboards - I expect monetary compensation for those 3 pieces. Their allegation that they have called me or left voicemail messages to which I have not responded are unfounded. I work from home, my phone is always with me and I even take it out with me when I let my dog out so that I do not miss calls. There have been no vmail msgs from anyone at 651 -- I have had this conversation repeatedly with my salesperson from 651, Paul ***, about no one calling me or leaving messages. Friday, 12/29/17, Paul relayed to me that Miguel would be at my house 1 pm that day to "look" at my issues. 1 pm came and went. At 3:30, my doorbell rang and Carlos and Juan were there (from the original crew) with Carlos stating they were there to "raise the one side up." This, after I specifically told Paul that I didn't want any of that crew back in my home. I proceeded to tell Carlos that I was expecting Miguel and that they needed to leave my home. This, again with no phone call, voicemail or warning - they just showed up at my house. I called Paul to ask what was going on and he said it was another miscommunication - would I mind calling Miguel and he proceeded to give me Miguel's phone number. I then called Miguel who told me he was "busy" so he sent the other guys. This was not okay with me. I have not had any phone calls from 651 or vmail messages from 651. I "refused" to let Carlos and Juan into my home because I was expecting Miguel to look at my issues because that was what I had been told by Paul. Also, what I failed to mention in my first complaint was that they blew a fuse in my garage, I tried to find the breaker downstairs that was blown, to no avail. It turned out to be a GFI but in any event, Carlos told me they were going to have to come in to my home to cut the granite, which they did and which proceeded to dump a BUNCH of dust all over my upstairs from them cutting the granite in my home. I had to hire a cleaning person to clean the dust upstairs from that and I paid her $50.00. Her name is Chris *** and I can produce the check I wrote to her to pay for her cleaning services for the dust they created by cutting the granite in my home. My salesperson, Paul, was also aware that they did this. What I expect in monetary compensation is as follows:$50.00 for the cleaning of the granite dust in my upstairs living areas/kitchen$22.06 x 3 pieces of trim for 6" x 42" contact filler for on both sides of stove = $66.18$607.97 - Tuscany Pantry - the decorative wall piece that they marred - I don't want it just "touched up" because it will not look new as it did before your crew scuffed it up+ shipping and tax on the above piecesmiscellaneous screws, etc. $500 all day labor for my handyman to take out pantry cabinet, other cabinets to re-install and add new trim piecesAbove comes to approximately $1,300 - I would settle for the $895.00 that I am disputing - that will rectify this situation and allow me and 651 closure on this matter.Thank you for your time and assistance,***That will resolve the issue for me if they credit back

Again, this project was done exactly the way that the customer had asked for, and well within any standard of installation. As included in the previous response, the customer signed off on a completion form and verified that the project looked great. We had our installers go back out to the home to survey any other issues that the customer called in for, and at that time the customer was again satisfied with the minor repairs that were made. The issues with trim and cabinets have nothing to do with our company and the installers don't even have tools to cut them in the first place. We do apologize if the breaker blew in the home during fabrication and that the installers had to do some finish work inside the home. There was not any cutting of granite in the home, merely some buffing of edges. Any home improvement/construction project is going to leave behind some dust and possible clean up. The new accusation about marring a decorative wall piece is news to us, and not something that we will take blame for. This is not something that our installers would do (or have done ever in the past). The customer seems to be making up new issues at this point to tarnish our company name, but these are just not true! We have gone above and beyond to accommodate this customer, but we do not want false allegations presented about our company or installers. In closing, we have credited the customer $25 already for a gas can that went missing out of her open garage and we would be willing to credit back the $50 cleaning fee due to the dust that was created from the polishing in her home. Thank you for reviewing this complaint-

We decided to go with 651CARPETS for completing our entire lower level of our townhome. Went with carpet in the living room, and LVP throughout the rest of the downstairs. We were actually charged for the completed project and I had my first bill before even being called with scheduling a time or starting. Should have realized that was a problem from the get go. We were called the night before the first of two days scheduled for the project and were told someone would be there from 8-10 to start. My wife took a day off for that day, as I would for the next. When no one showed up or called by 11am, she called and was informed they were just going to rush through it and do it all the next day. Huh? I was assured everything was going to be completed then, but never was. After starting to tear out the sheet vinyl, the two man crew decided they did not want to do it, although I paid for it. We would have just kept it, and just got the carpeting in the living room, but they already made a mess in an area and we had no choice but to complete the project. They took all day but finished the best they could. No quarter round was ever ordered when I was charged for it so now someone else would have to come back. While everything was going on the day of installation, I was in contact with not only our sales rep, but also the installation manager, who assured me whatever was not done, we would get credited. The quarter round was done a week later, and they also helped me fix the problems left from the installers - nails sticking out of the baseboards, missing baseboards in areas (where we had to pull some from the closets), dents to the walls, etc... I could go on and on. We are going on week 8 after completion, and not one person has reached out to me. I e-mailed the sales rep and he said he would have someone contact me. I called and left about 3 messages with receptionist and no call. Finally got a hold of the sales rep and he left the company. Great.

Our installation manager has been in contact with the customer numerous times, and while we are sorry to hear about the frustrations that may have incurred, we are happy to say that any needed repairs have been taken care of. There was a discussion of credit to be issued for the portion of the work order that was not needed, but it was not the same amount that was requested in this complaint. Our installation manager has since tried reaching out to the customer to discuss the credit, but there has been no return call. We hope to resolve this fully with the customer and hopefully put the issue to rest. Thanks again-

Revdex.com:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I am subject to a credit to my financing of the project which was agreed upon and settled. The credit could take a few days, I was told. Also, the quarter round that was missing has now been completed.

I had granite counter tops put in. The sale's guy was great, on time and friendly. The next day install was perfect! Counters look great!! Here's where it goes bad, during the install the installer accidently put a dent and a scratch in my fridge. He told me right away and apologized. Accidents happen, these installers did a great job otherwise. When I called 651Carpets to work out a resolution to the damage I had to leave a message. That was on a Monday (12/18/17) and I did not get a return call so I followed up on Friday (12/22/2017). I had to leave another message. Then I get a call from the installer (12/22/2017). He said there is nothing that he can do to fix the damage and said that 651Carpets is going to take it out of his pay. WOW, you would think that companies like 651Carpets would carry insurance for these type of things??? No, they make the sub-contractor take the hit! I guess the next thing I'm not please about is, why am I dealing with the sub-contractor?? I hired 651Carpets to do the work, they should being calling me and dealing with the sub-contractor on their own. Today I tried to call again and had to leave another message.

The customer has been contacted and everything has been worked out. While we are always disappointed to have mistakes happen, they are nonetheless a part of any business. We are happy that the customer was serviced and helped through the process. Hopefully we have earned a repeat customer in the end. Thanks again-

We have used 651Carpets twice in our home. Once for laminate flooring and recently installed carpet. They did an awesome job. The salesman that came to our home knew just what we were looking for and the installers were great. They were on time, put down drop cloths as to not track in dirt and cleaned up and vacuumed upon completion. We have 2 rooms in the house left to do and plan to use 651Carpets again. Would recommend them to anyone!

651carpets installed carpet in my basement on 10/13/17 & it was not to our satisfaction.
1. We were told the install was scheduled for 8-10 on 10/13, my husband took time off work to be there when for the installation but they didn't show up until 5PM. I called at 4PM & spoke to a employee Max who was placing the blame on the sales rep who gave me the estimate. He was rude & unprofessional and basically said they were coming & had until 8PM to get there.
2. Our bid included charges of $75 per room (2) to have our furniture moved but we ended up doing it ourselves as this install was delayed over 8 hours. When I contacted the sales rep for an adjustment he told me he only charged me for one room. Today I was told that they never charged us?!
3. The carpet in the bedroom has a seam 6" into the room along the entry way rather than the back of the room where no one walks. When I asked the installer about this he stated he wouldn't have the seam there but said it was because 651carpets didn't cut enough. The seam is visible & unacceptable. I have been in contact with the company for resolution. They stated they guarantee the install/carpet for life of the carpet but when I stated I wasn't satisfied he basically stated they could take $200 off.

651Carpets Response

We are certainly sorry to hear that the customer is not fully satisfied, but this complaint is unwarranted. The product that the customer ordered has been delivered and installed fully. The customer has not paid the balance due on the order, and to this date 651Carpets is still owed $1090. There is nothing wrong with the product or installation that we know about. If there was an installation issue we offer a lifetime warranty on the labor, but again the balance must be paid before we could do any warranty work. The customer is concerned with a seam placement, but there is no guarantee on where or how many seams are needed for any given project. The placement of any seam is at the discretion of the installer. This is clearly labeled on our checklist (attached). Our day of install arrival time can vary depending on if there is a previous job, the scope of work at the previous job, any delays out of our control, etc. Again, this is labeled in our checklist that arrival times can be anywhere between 8am-6pm. We do wish that the customer would have been updated throughout the day to narrow the window, and for this we apologize. We understand that people's time is valuable and there should have been more communication from our installers. We have no charge indicated for any furniture moving on the signed work order (attached), and at the time of purchase there was a free furniture moving promotion in place. We appreciate the customer helping move the furniture, but this was not under our direction by any means. Pricing does not change from the signed off on and agreed upon amount on the work order. 651Carpets would love to address any possible issues that the customer may have, but our records show that there is nothing wrong with the actual installation. We are still awaiting payment from the customer, and if it is not received we will be forced to forward the invoice to collections.

I recently had my carpets installed by 651Carpets. The salesman was friendly, courteous, and extremely helpful in providing us the needed information to make the best carpet choice. The installers were on time and very professional in their work and they did a magnificent job on the install. I would, and have, recommend 651Carpets to anyone looking to replace their carpets.
