So, I'm not surprised by your experience, but I would find another source for your flooring, preferably a company that doesn't use subcontractors that they don't know. If you want to use a large company, go to someone like Great Lakes Flooring, that The Villages uses for new construction.

While I don't agree with you about Home Adviser (had a self-employed closet installer do a fabulous job in three closets), I can personally recommend Great Lakes Flooring, the one on 301 in Wildwood. They did a fabulous job installing Karastan carpeting in two bedrooms and manufactured wood flooring in the den of our designer. I like the quality of their products, and especially the guarantee that comes along with the Karastan.
