Fifty Floor

Let me tell you about our experience. When the salesman David came over he assured us that our remodeling of carpet for the stairs, laminate for upstairs bedrooms and tile work in the bathrooms would be completed in one day.

What we had to do was just remove the bed covers and all would be okay. (1st LIE) Well the carpet did not come in at the same time as the other flooring, no big problem we went with it. Well a couple of weeks later they came to do the laminate and tile work and told us it would take 2 days, so we had to use 2 days of our vacation when we were told 1 day. Well they got there and did not have the right molding for the laminate we ordered white a natural color was sent.

They had to bring the right color the next day. well before the started they told us we needed to pay $6000.00 before they could start. We put $3000.00 dollars down and financed the rest when the salesman (David) was here. The installer had to call his boss and talked about 20 minutes, then I had to call the Charolotte location to get things straight, someone had left that part of the paperwork and work began about 1.5 hours after they had arrived.

Once finished it looked good.

Well the carpet for the stairs came in about 2 weeks later. Meredith (Charlotte) called me the following Tuesday and told us we were the first job on Saturday the 22nd of April at around 0800. Well we waited that day and no one showed up at that time. About 30 minutes later Meredith called me and said it was raining hard in Charlotte and they were waiting.

She also asked if we had a garage they could work in as not to get the carpet wet. We told her yes, they could back up all the way under our overhang and the carpet would not get wet. Well we waited until about 0900 she called back and said they were cancelling and would have to reschedule. I asked her about the garage and she told me the carpet might get and mold blah blah and she did not want her guys out in a tornado warning.

(LIE 2) It stop raining about 10 minutes later and the sun shone the rest of the day and since we live north of Charlotte it had stopped in Charlotte. I called back and got no answer, they really cleared out fast. I did leave a mesage but received no returned. She finally called me back on Tuesday and said she had us down for the first job on Saturday April the 29th, because the installer wanted to get done early because of his son's birthday party.

(LIE 3) Well Mike the installation manager called us on Thursday and told us he had us scheduled on that Saturday as the 2nd job and the installers would be there about 0900. (LIE 4} Well at 0930 I called the installer and was told by him they gave them a big job 1st and he would be there around 12 noon. I called the Charlotte location and complained about the lack of communication and customer service told me they had spoken with the General Manager and he would have the Installation Manager call me shortly. (LIE 5).

No one arrive at 12 noon so at 1220 i called the installer back and he told me it would be about 3pm. I called the store and again got the same story. (LIE 6) No one was there at 3pm. Called installer again and was told 6pm.

Called the store again same story. (LIE 7) No one at 6pm so I called the installer at 6:45 and said listen just tell me the truth are you coming, he said he was on his way. They finally got here at 7:30 pm and finished at 9:pm. They did a good job.

I am not blaming the installers, I am blaming the lack of communication that your people have at the Charolette store. The lack of customer service and the total disregard they have for their customers is unbelievable! My wife and I waste 2 Saturdays wait on your people, so no I would never recommend 50 Floor to anybody not even my worst enemy.

Oh by the way, I still have not heard from Meredith the Scheduler, Mike the Installation Manager or the stores General Manager! ( BIG LIE 8)

First - they are NOT the "low price leader" in flooring. I compared them to two other companies and they were all the same!

Myers was within $40. Second- the well dressed clean cut installers you see moving furniture and cleaning up so meticulously are NOT what comes to your door. I had three immigrant workers from a third party firm-only one spoke any English and he did not fully understand the importance of how NOT to mishandle a Tempurpedic mattress in their moving of the furniture. Third- these three workers were in a very big rush to leave my job and get to their next-WITHOUT doing a proper walk through with the Certificate of Completion Form and Verification of Damage forms!

They only allowed me the time to sign and pay the balance. While the carpet was properly installed the clean up and moving back of furniture was sloppy. I had to get them to move heavy pieces back to their original places. Clean up and vacuuming was cursory at best.

Fourth-after their departure I went to remove linens from the bed for washing and that is when I discovered the misaligned layers of the Tempurpedic mattress. I did not see this before because the coverlet was thrown over the end of the bed. Tempurpedics are designed to last 20+ years and I had intended on keeping this another 10. The layers are fitted together inside a permanent covering and cannot be realigned if the mattress is mishandled.

I cannot put on a fitted sheet or position the mattress properly on the bed frame now. When I called Tempurpedic they explained that they could not fix this and I would have to buy a new mattress. ($2,200). I called customer service at 50 Floor to register these complaints and spoke with Tammy Wilson.

Ms. Wilson. I was aware that I was on the third day of the 3 days to make a complaint. Ms.

Wilson listened to my account of my job and she was very rude and abrupt. I also sent photos of the misaligned shifted layers of the mattress. Right away she said "we are not going to buy you a new mattress". She hardly apologized and did admit that 50 Floor has had service problems due to having to use third party sub contractors to install.

Ms. Wilson called me back after reviewing the complaint -presumably with higher management. She again offered no resolution or compensation-instead she waxed on and on about HER problems and the company's struggles with labor!! She was obviously trying to garner sympathy from ME when I was the customer who had been mistreated.

I had to end the call. I have had to bear the expense of a new mattress. When I showed the Tempurpedic salesperson pictures of what was done he asserted that the mattress had definitely been mishandled. My insurance agent tried to intervene by calling the owner/General Manager but got NO answer and NO voicemail.

I have also tried to reach Mr. Ron Luchetti -GM- but did not get through. (The telephone number given is the same as Ms. Wilson's but with a different extension.) Essentially I am being ignored.

I had to bear the cost of a new mattress.

I also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I will steer people away from 50 Floor whenever possible.
