National Floors Direct has been in communication with Mr. [redacted] regarding the flooring installation. The responsible adult on site during the installation signed off that the job was completed to their satisfaction.Regardless, in good faith National Floors Direct has reached out to the customer...
to schedule a follow up visit with an installation manager and the installer so we can address Mr. [redacted]'s concerns.
National Floors Direct conducts background checks on anyone entering any customer's home to gather information including but not limited to, "past or present employers; learning institutions, including colleges and universities; law enforcement and all other federal, state and local agencies;...
federal, state and local courts; the military; credit bureaus; testing facilities; motor vehicle records agencies; if applicable, worker’s compensation injuries; all other private andpublic sector repositories of information; and any other person, organization, or agency with any information about or concerning that worker. The information that can be disclosed to this background Screening and Selection Services and its agents includes, but is not limited to, information concerning employment history, earnings history, education, credit history, motor vehicle history, criminal history, military service, professional credentials and licenses and substance abuse testing." As such, we believe the customer's request falls under the scope of that screening. All installation teams carry $1MM+ workman's compensation insurance and $1MM+ liability insurance policies. This was communicated to the customer prior to installation.
The material would be great for any basement, so long as there is not excessive moisture. When the rep sells the job he checks as best he can for moisture. When the installer installs the job he checks as well. We do not install the floor if the signs of moisture are present. We are not responsible for the existence of moisture in the home because we told the customer the floor would be great for a basement, which it is, however moisture will damage any floor including this one and it is not covered under warranty. We have no way of knowing what took place in the home but we do know that the floor has been exposed to excessive moisture which is causing the problems with the floor and moisture is not covered under warranty. We cannot refund the customer's money as the issue he is having with the floor is not covered under warranty. We can try to repair/replace the floor as necessary but the customer will have to pay for the service and if the moisture problem is not fixed the exact same thing will happen again.

I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted]. Please add your rejection comments below. There is no padding in the closet or the hallway. I absolutely welcome someone - not the installer who messed up - come and show me how my assertions defy logic. Considering I cannot get a phone call back, I don't have high hopes. If I wanted to buy carpet, someone comes right out...I'm absolutely miserable about the experience, and no one can come follow up on my assertion that there is a problem. I'm told my floors are the problem. If they were as much a problem as there is right now, why wasn't it pointed out by the installer, who is supposed to be the professional? Nothing has been done for the sake of customer satisfaction, other than an insulting response.According to the response, my observations defy logic. Maybe my thought process defies logic, but I would think that someone who cares about their company's reputation would call or cone and see what I'm talking about when I say it's a hoffible install.

The first time this problem was reported to us is was 11 months after the installation. Regardless if it was one month or 11 claims from excessive moisture are not covered under warranty. We can schedule the customer for a payable service to repair or replace the floor as necessary but it will be a payable service because the issue is not covered under warranty. If the source of the moisture is not addressed as well once the floor is fixed the exact same thing will repeat itself.

by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted]. Please add your rejection comments below. The exorbitant price of the installation is not my primary complaint, although it is very obviously exorbitnt. I object to the installation of the new laminate time over existing acrylic tiles although I had clearly specified to the salesman that I wanted the exiting tiles removed and carted away. I object to the substitution of the tiles I had selected with another kind. And I object to the grossly unprofessional installation itself resulting in unsightly seams between many of the tiles and doors that won't open over the newly installed tiles.

I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted]. The complaint is not in regard to the carpet nor the installation. I am satisfied with both. The complaint is regarding the pad used and the discrepancy between what was described by the salesman and what I subsequently found to have been installed. This was repeatedly described as being 3/4 " in thickness and to be much more luxurious than the carpet being replaced. The delay in registering this complaint was due to not discovering the truth of the matter until the pad was revealed in the course of doing other renovation work. The fact of the matter is the salesman repeatedly claimed the pad would be 3/4 " thick, specifically stating that measurement each time. The actual pad used is 1/4 " thick and falls far short of the quality described.The customer service response that "we only use one type of pad with any given carpet" makes further mockery of the pre-sales process where the type of pad is selected and marked on the order form. If there really is no choice then this practice is misleading.I still contend the salesman misrepresented the product being purchased and that the pad selection and order form options are misleading if in fact no choice of pad is being offered.Regards, [redacted]
We are very sorry about the confusion regarding this order. Since the initial complaint we have spoken with this customer and the job has been rescheduled for 09/23/14. Once again we are very sorry about the problems.

from the several months in between when our representative visited with her to take her order and the date of installation. Our order paperwork - which is initialed by Ms. [redacted] - clearly indicates that touch up paint will be needed and, quite expressly, that seams in carpeting will be visible. The order forms we provide our customers are designed to explain what this process will be like and keep them informed.National Floors Direct completed the installation in Ms. [redacted]'s home on 02/08/2017. For more than 2 weeks, we did not hear from Ms. [redacted] regarding any issues with the installers, the installation, or the materials. When she called to express a problem with the installation we explained what the next steps were and requested photos so we could assess the installation and provide any required service in the most efficient manner possible. This is our warranty claims process. We value Ms. [redacted]'s patronage and want nothing more than to help resolve any issues she may be experiencing with her floor-covering but will need her to follow the claims process if she expects National Floors Direct to honor its warranty obligations.
Despite the customer's defamatory comments the fact remains that the problem with the floor is being caused by moisture whether the customer is aware of it or not. We have seen photos of the floor and it is clear what is causing the issue. The floor was installed and signed off by the customer as excellent at the time of the installation. Since then over six months have passed. A floor does not go from being installed perfectly to having waves all over it six months later without being exposed to moisture. The customer may not be aware of the source but it is there.
