    Business receipt for service that the business will claim they did not provide, lol!

    They are no good! Would give them 0 stars if had the option. Don't think the guy even cleaned my carpet since I wasn't present at my Auburn home on January 24, 2020 at the time of service. However, one week after I moved in on January 31, 2020, I went over areas in the house with my lil ole Bissell Crosswave and when I was done, the dirty water was black. It's as if It was never cleaned. I found cobwebs on the carpet in the corner behind bedroom door and thick layers of dust still in the carpet along the walls. Wasted $108(see attached receipt for proof of service), will never use any Chem-Dry franchise again. To expand on my Chem-Dry experiences, I've used Chem-Dry of Seattle since 2013. I know exactly what their basic cleaning can do to even the filthiest of carpets. So it goes like this, the minute I find a new home to move in, I call them every time to clean the carpets before I move into the place. Beth there is awesome, she is very hands on with customers and always polite. Had one complaint and she was on it like white on rice. It was like it never happened. I only called a different location this time because I was no longer in Seattle. My mistake, I should've called Beth anyway, she probably would've sent someone out anyway. I am OCD and because of this experience, I can't even go back to my original Chem-Dry location. Lost trust in the company as a whole. This is my initial complaint with this location. Never called them to discuss or gave opportunity to resolve. This is because the technician named Cole (name listed on receipt) knows exactly what he did and it was clear and blatant deception. This is what happens when you're home-bound for several months, you clear up your long to-do list.

    OLD SCHOOL INTEGRITY & WORKMANSHIP…read more David's Flooring did a wonderful job on our new house in Issaquah. We are very pleased with the results. From the beginning, Eric and Cole were very responsive & helpful in assisting us with material and color selections and suggested products with superior quality & durability while staying within our budget. After months of shopping around, we decided to have David's team install LVP, carpet and handle all our millwork and casings which included complicated compound angles on our staircase. Their workmanship and attention to detail was very professional and more than met our picky expectations. The old-school honesty and integrity of everyone on David's team was truly refreshing. Eric managed our project and kept it on-time and on-budget. His attention to communication was impressive & timely even at 10pm at night and on weekends. We requested a few change orders along the way and they were charged at straight time and materials without the extra mark-ups most contractors tack on. Adrian was our onsite supervisor and was there every minute of every day. The flooring lead, Sergey and the carpet lead, Hector kept me informed and made suggestions that improved our end result. Over the last 42 years our family has built a number of custom homes and the experience with David's flooring was by far the best and was actually enjoyable. We would/will definitely use Eric and his team again and highly recommend them.

As a homeowner, I couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend them. Vitaliy was excellent to work with throughout the process. He communicated openly about costs, risks, and timelines. His initial quote was the most thorough and detailed among all the bids we received (e.g. including a potential subfloor leveling cost range upfront to avoid surprises later on). He was also open to incorporating a written addendum I provided alongside the standard contract so that all project expectations were clearly documented from the start. When a supplier mistake from Shaw Floors delayed materials and forced my family into a longer Airbnb stay, Vitaliy stepped up and helped cover the ~$1,500 extra cost. That meant a lot to us. The crew treated our home with respect, the floors look beautiful, and throughout the project I felt I could truly trust Vitaliy and David's Flooring. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to other homeowners for flooring work.

    I contacted Atlantic Tile and Granite for a countertop project and received an initial estimate…read morefrom Tom St. Clair. Before moving forward, I asked several reasonable clarification questions about what was included in the quote, such as removal/disposal, templating, fabrication, delivery, plumbing or appliance reconnection, timeline, etc which was unclear in the quote. Instead of answering those questions, Tom responded in a dismissive and unprofessional way, asking whether I had read the estimate or looked at their website, and saying I could call him if I was "serious about doing business" with them. As a customer, I believe it is completely normal to ask detailed questions before hiring a contractor, especially for a home project involving cost, materials, and installation details. The lack of clear answers and the tone of the response made me lose confidence in moving forward with this company. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company if you expect clear communication and respectful customer service.

    TASK: Remove existing backsplash and countertop and install a new backsplash and countertop…read more PROBLEM 1: NEITHER THE DEMOLITION CREW NOR THE INSTALLATION CREW WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPPING THE COUNTERTOPS. Nothing was covered. All contents of the drawers were contaminated by demolition materials. In addition, during the demolition, the underlayment of the countertops was damaged. As stated in the contract, this was not to be addressed by Granite and Marble Specialists (GMS). Once the island countertop was removed, you could see that a heavy layer of glue remained on the underlay. The installers said that that was not their responsibility. They installed the countertop over the uneven underlayment of the residual glue. This meant that there were up to 1/2 inch gaps between the counter and the underlayment, stretching a span of 108.5 inches. Over time, this will lead to instability and breakage of the stone. The installers forged ahead and installed the new countertop independent of the gaps. The installers were adamant that they had installed the island countertop to level. RESULT: We had to remove the new countertop and have the surface sanded to level before having them reinstall the countertop. PROBLEM 2: NEITHER THE DEMOLITION CREW NOR THE INSTALLATION CREW WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPPING THE BLACKSPLASH AFTER DEMOLITION. This meant that it was the homeowner's responsibility to install drywall and to make sure that the backsplash was level. The backsplash was 1.5 inches unlevel from one end of the backsplash to the other. Thus, in addition to the provision of drywall because the existing drywall was damaged during demolition, we had to shim the drywall to ensure the backsplash was level for the backsplash installation. RESULT: We had to go buy wood, cut it to the specific dimensions and install the new underlayment for the backsplash. IN SUM: GMS provided what the contract stated, an installed countertop and backsplash. It was not stated in the contract that it be level or that it be level to the degree that it was level prior to the new installation. The installers showed it to be level because the countertop was 108.5 inches long X 46 inches wide X 3cm deep. So, BEWARE. If this is the type of installation you are looking for, this is the organization for you.

    Prestige Flooring came through for us in a big way. We were moving into a house and we wanted to…read morehave the old carpet replaced upstairs before we moved all our stuff in. A week before we needed to move they said they would be able to start right away. Other flooring services said they needed 1-2 weeks before they could start. We were getting about 1250sqft of LVP installed in 4 bed rooms and a laundry room. After signing the invoice, Vlad's team demoed and prepped all the subfloor two days later. The day after demoing, they said they got the material they needed and went hard at work getting flooring installed. We communicated in advance that there were squeaks in the floor, we marked some of those squeaky locations for them, during the demo and prep they found more squeaking that they fixed for us. Their communication and pricing was amazing. Vlad kept in contact with us every other day via calls and texts. Any questions I had were quickly addressed by him and his team. Some other great details that stood out to me: One of their guys helped me move a heavy package upstairs without me even asking them. They saw I was about to move it and offered on their behalf During prepping they needed to take off all the doors and rehang them. They were able to rehang them better than when we moved in They did a good job at helping clean up a lot of the dust from the carpet and demo. They couldn't get all the dust as some of it required a mop The installers they have work fast and are quite experienced They labeled and organized all the baseboards/trim they took off and neatly put it in the garage. We chose to reuse it and they put it all back well. We just need to repaint it. You could choose to have them replace them and repaint them if you want. We are looking to have our downstairs floor done by them in the future. I was also pleased to learn that the Prestige also does painting at a very competitive price. We'll be looking to have them paint in the future as well. Tips for customers - Make sure you look at floor samples that include the seams, some samples may only show you a full piece so you may not see what the pattern looks like. Some lighter LVP wood samples may have sharp seam contrasts Mark all the areas on your floor where there are squeaks. After your floor is demoed, walk around on it and find more squeaks and mark them with an X using a marker so they are fixed up Get everything you want done in writing and signed off on Make sure the flooring service you go with includes a clause about an installation warranty in your contract. Prestige included one in ours

I believe they do this so they can win the Bids, Trim the doors, and let us know forgiveness later to bill us, Electrical work was done but price never discussed. Nothing documented so we are not liable, although, keep on calling you for these add-ons. Overall, The quality of the product and installation is there, Although not for business. Once you signed contract, its not a good signs that they add on extra here and there. You'll be suprised whats not included. They do not include basic things that comes with installing the tiles. When they say Tile's not included, and we opt out. But they said 30% deposit was non refundable. We told them we just cancel the credit card. They offerred discount, and those discount was not honored ofcourse while they insist on their add-ons. Just not professional, or they do not know what professional means, or what contract is..... So overall frustrating experience for sure. I should have picked the vendor we always go to, their lower price (without the tile) attracted us, but was a bait. Dissapointing on admin side, workers are experience, but still negative one star. Hope they hire admin person, Owner speaks English, not fluent, and do not know business practice in US, Just horrible experience.

From the meticulous installation to the stunning final result, every detail was handled with care and precision. Gheorghe was prompt, courteous, and truly dedicated to ensuring our satisfaction. If there is anything that you aren't completely happy with, Gheorghe is quick to fix it with ease until you are 110% satisfied. We appreciate that Gheorghe always took the time to elaborate if we ever had any questions regarding our project - His expert advice aided toward us making educated decisions on the design of our project, as well as with the quality of material that we ultimately selected for the project as well. Gheorghe is entirely transparent and seriously excellent at communicating. Our space has been transformed into a work of art, thanks to Gheorghe's expertise and the execution of a flawless tile installation. During the time that Gheorghe worked at our home he proved to be trustworthy, which is very important to us. We recommend Gheorghe for anyone looking for a company to install their tile. An added bonus is that Gheorghe's prices for tile work are extremely competitive and fair. Please note that not every tile company is the same - I am not the easiest client, as I consider myself to be very meticulous. With that said, I rarely feel inclined to write reviews, however, I feel that Gheorghe and his company, Elite Tile deserve recognition for exceeding my overall expectations and also for allowing us to trust them in our home.
