Recommendation for flooring inspector to help with poor carpet installation
Had carpet installed thru out home recently via major floor shop nearby and ended up with visible seams. Flooring Company says seam are ok and accepted and refuse to repair or replace carpet. This is high quality carpet (expensive) so am looking for a flooring specialist or even an attorney that has been used successfully to take on flooring company. Will provide pictures and/or more detail if you PM me

Best bet is to contact the manufacturer and see if they have a rep in the area . Each one has very specific specs for seaming, stretching, subfloor prep.

I agree excellent advice, follow up with a gentle suggestion to the rep that help will avoid complaints with the BBB and Seniors against crime if they appear to not be interested.

I am dealing with the same exact problem! The installer put in the carpet and ran out of carpet because the measurements had been wrong. He got another piece but the seam ended up being right when you walk into the room and is super obvious...not a good look at all. Everyone agrees it's not right but want to blame each other. I have been on the phone constantly and eventually showed up in person at the business. I think that made progress and they are telling me it will be handled so I'm hoping for the best. Try showing up in person if that's possible. Good luck.

I'm not on anyone's payroll or back pocket. Despicable comment. I spent 35 years selling carpet and flooring. You accept visible seams in your clothing, right? Carpet is nothing more except that a secondary backing has been glue to it for stability. I was told once when I first started selling "Seams are an imperfection and only an act of God will make them disappear". Sounds like your expectations might have been a little high if you were expecting invisibility. As to the person who posted that there's a seam in the walkway because the job wasn't properly calculated...that is the responsibility of whoever did the calculations. Too bad floor covering companies down here don't certify their installers through CFI. If they did, they could advertise that they have master installers available. I'd be willing to pay a premium price for a master installer. BTW...home inspectors have their place but they are not floorcovering inspectors nor will their opinions have any weight in case this issue should go farther.
Further information might be found here..Installation Standards - CRI. You might also be able to contact CRI for a list of independent inspectors in the area fees for which you will be responsible. |

I have never seen seams in a wall to wall installation, even when I know they are there! They may become obvious with time due to wear but never when new.

If you charged it, look at the back of your monthly statement. Most cards have a clause about faulty product law and trying in good faith to rectify, this means continuing to pay on the card. If you have good faith and they do nothing you should not have to pay and the card company will get your money back |
