While FCI is a franchised business, Marty is the owner / operator of this location - he clearly takes great pride in his business and it shows with his patience, attention to detail, and great communication. After reaching out, Marty was quick to respond and work with me to find a time to come out and give us a quote and show us samples. He arrived on time and walked us through the process and estimate. He had a wide variety of high quality carpet options and was patient while we looked at various choices. There was no pressure to make a decision that day, but we reached out a few days after to confirm our choice and book an install date. He texted me with a reminder a few days out from the install, and he and his team showed up on time. Within a few hours, the carpet was beautifully installed. We had considered doing this project ourselves, but it's clear that we would not have been able to achieve the level of craftsmanship of Marty's team. This was a relatively inexpensive home upgrade and has greatly improved the safety of our stairs, as well as helping with echoing and sound (especially for our dogs going up and down). Highly recommend using Marty and his team if you're looking to add a stair runner to your home.

Luis and his partner did a fantastic job installing wood flooring in three of our bedrooms. We…read morerecently moved to Raleigh and wanted to match the wood flooring in much of the house to bedrooms which had carpeting. The pattern of the flooring involved 3 different sized wood planks (3", 4" and 5"). While it took several months before all the wood finally arrived, Luis was able to install, sand and stain all three bedrooms (and closets) in a week's time. He was professional and on-time, and he matched the existing wood in the house perfectly. I highly recommend his services.

So I've had to replace my hardwood floors 3 times in my life and each time, I must admit, it was a…read moretruly difficult challenge for me economically and personally. You have to understand, that for a guy like me, it ain't easy finding a place you trust, then finding the right floors that match your house decor, then finding it at the right price. All of these things become obstacles that you need to overcome in order to find the perfect flooring. Luckily for me, I was fortunate to be recommended Brentwood flooring by my friend and contractor. I went in and spoke to Wes and he directed me to find a number of possible hardwood floor options that were beautiful, that fit my home decor and also fit my budget! So happy! And I was lucky to also find out that they currently are offering 18 months with zero percent financing which will allow me to pay off the floors monthly! I could not be happier! I am recommending to all of my 10,000 friends on yelp, Twitter, Facebook LinkedIn and Instagram to go here first if you need any help with your carpet or hardwood flooring needs!

I had an OUTSTANDING experience with Brentwood Carpets in Cary, NC. I worked with Wes Newsome…read more Wes was responsive by phone and email- always in a timely manner. It was great to have a reliable point person through the entire process. Brentwood called me the day before the installation to confirm, which I appreciated. Installation team showed up the following morning on time. The team consisted of three men- all courteous, experienced, and hard-working. 1650 sq ft of carpet including two staircases, old removed and new installed all in one day. They worked for nearly 12 hours! But I never saw them rush; they took great care in their work. They cleaned up (inside and outside) and vacuumed completely before leaving. I'm so glad we did not go the big box store route. For my wife and me, having Wes as our point person and knowing a high-quality install team would be doing the work were invaluable.

Excited about the low upkeep. Water and Scratch Proof. The installers where very professional as well, I even came home to find everything had been completed a day earlier. Thanks again for making this as easy as possible. I am a hard one to deal with.

Uploaded photos. We had a Karastan LVT flooring installed on our second floor; the total cost for…read morematerials and labor was over $17,000. Since then, we've run into multiple problems, and honestly, it's been incredibly frustrating. Problem 1: Promised One Thing, Got Another We chose a more expensive floor than we originally planned because we were told it had a flush stair cap trim piece. That was important to us because we wanted a seamless, flush transition at the top of the stairs -- no overlap. The flush pieces were on our order and we paid for them. But when the installers showed up, they used an L-shaped piece that created a noticeable lip. When we asked about it, they told us a flush piece didn't actually exist for that floor. So basically, we paid more based on bad information, and there's nothing they could (or would) do to fix it once the floor was already being installed. Problem 2: Boards With Permanent Marker Some of the boards that were installed have purple marker lines under the clear coating. We were told it happened during manufacturing and couldn't be cleaned. The installers admitted they should have caught it and not used those planks. They offered us a few hundred dollars off or said they could replace them, but doing so would require ripping up a large section of flooring, which could cause more damage. They planned to reuse the removed boards, even if they were damaged in the process. Since there wasn't enough extra material to replace them all we'd have to pay for additional boards ourselves if we didn't want them to reuse what they ripped out. We decided not to risk it, covered those boards with furniture and rugs, and took the discount. Problem 3: Gaps in the Hallway In the hallway, 4 boards were cut too short. So now, when the humidity changes, they shift, leaving a 1/2" gap between the floor and the shoe molding, exposing the subfloor. That's about two feet of wall with subfloor showing for half the year. They tried to fix it by gluing and nailing the boards down, but that only worked temporarily. Again, the solution offered was to tear up a big section of the floor, but with the usual warning that it might cause more damage. So once again, we left it alone. Looking back, we probably should have taken the risk of further damage and let them replace those 4 boards. It looks awful. Problem 4: Boards Separating in the Bonus Room In our large bonus room, about 20'x24', some of the boards have started separating, leaving visible gaps. At this point, I haven't even contacted them about this issue, based on how the other problems were handled, I'm not optimistic that anything helpful will come from it. So this one is on me. This year, when we replaced the floor on the main level, we went with a completely different company. When we showed them photos of the upstairs install, they were shocked and told us we should have filed formal complaints and probably could have taken it even further. Honestly, the whole process took so much time, stress, and energy that we just didn't have it in us to keep pushing. If you're considering working with them, be careful, make sure you can actually get what they promise, and keep a close eye on the installation. After reading other reviews, I'm really hoping this was just a bad install crew and that they're no longer around.
