I did find what I needed, but the inconsistency at the register made the whole trip more frustrating than it needed to be.

Hardwood Flooring was purchased, and the install was absolutely horrible. Larry Shields,…read moresales/manager, came out to my home to look over the poor install. Larry agreed that the installer did a terrible job, and told me he would order a new floor, have the current floor ripped out, and install the new floor. After 2 months of deceptive stalling and dragging his feet he is now going back on his word. I've read this exact same scenario in other reviews of Stateline Carpet and Flooring (promise that "We'll make it right" and then stall, stall, stall, sorry we aren't replacing the floor). Larry scheduled a "independent" inspector to come out and inspect the floor install, so they could pursue damages from the contractor that did the install (at least that's what he told me the inspector was for). Now it's very clear that he sent this inspector out to try and cover themselves, so they could get out of replacing my floor that he promised me they would replace. Seems like a rotten form of deception to lay on a customer. I literally have an HVAC vent covered up by their installers. The floor squeaks all over (the installers kept having to tape up the leaking hose to their nail gun so I'm thinking it may not have drove the nails in far enough). I could not even open my French door to my patio when installers were done because the shoe moulding went up too high and literally sealed my door shut. I'm still waiting on 6 recess vents to be installed (been on back order an awfully long time - tough to have faith in what Stateline is telling me at this point). I have multiple pieces of shoe moulding that are so loose you could literally lift them right up from the floor. The two installers installed 560 square feet of hardwood into 3 rooms in 5 1/2 hours. I had my own contractor come out to look at the job and he was shocked at how poor the install was and said it needs to be ripped up and replaced. When I told him it only took them 5 1/2 hours to install the floor and 90 more minutes the next day for transitions and shoe moulding he was SHOCKED. He said it should have taken at least 12 hours for two people to install the floor install and even up to 16 hours to complete everything. Not 7 hours total. I talked with Larry again today, and during a heated exchange he arrogantly told me "We are playing by my rules now" he went on to tell me how "impatient" I am. (it's been 2 months since the faulty install happened). Only took 2 weeks to get the original install done from the day I paid them to place the order - getting things replaced has now taken 4X longer with no end in sight but I'm "impatient" AND Larry tells me after the inspector looked things over "it's different than we both thought" (what's DIFFERENT?! You promised me a new floor and now you are backpedaling).

Chuck is the absolute RUDEST "business" person I have ever encountered and that's saying something is today's customer "service" environment. I called Tussings for the 1st time ever today and am appalled at his behavior. I simply was inquiring about tile as I had been referred there. He had such a rotten attitude. He asked me to text him 4 times despite being told 4 times that I didn't text. He even then asked me if I had a cell phone as if I was lying. I asked him if I could give him the number of the tile I was trying to match and he said NO! I then asked him if he had Internet access so as to look the tile up. He refused. When I asked for the owner, he refused to tell me who it was. Then I asked to speak to a manager and he once again refused. I raised my voice because he was mistreating me for no reason, despite being told that I was a first-time caller. He hung up on me. I called back again, asking for the manager and he refused to connect me again. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH TUSSINGS IF THIS IS HOW THEIR EMPLOYEE(S) TREAT PEOPLE. CHUCK YOU BLEW IT.
