Default When You Have No Options--Is This Extortion?
This week we replaced the original carpeting in our LR\DR with a laminate floor. The job got off to a bad start. The installers removed the carpet and padding, and then “discovered” that there were several depressions in the concrete slab. What a surprise! (We understand anecdotally that an imperfect slab is par for The Villages home construction. The installers called the flooring store who then called me back directing me to pay them $300 to fix the floor. They really had me over a barrel. Either live with the house upside down indefinitely or agree to pay. It felt like extortion, and I wonder how frequently this happens. Has anyone else had a similar experience and how you do deal with it?
