    Floor Coverings International Binghamton - Ann Taylor Store Engineered Hardwood Installation Complete

    John is a quirky guy, opinionated but full service. If your design ideas do not match his own, he…read morewill push against you. He repeatedly "corrected" our vision for a certain color combination. We worked together for 2 months to find the perfect flooring. Not once during the process did he mention he is CASH ONLY as he had one bad experience with a product only (no install) chargeback a few years ago. Since credit cards provide a lot of consumer protection in regards to warranty and paper trail records for warranties, we contacted the HQ for Floor Coverings International to ensure they would keep the records in case this local store goes out of business, as our flooring came with a 20 year warranty to the tune of $5000. The HQ staff was very helpful, they understood the problem with cash only records and offered to speak with John to see if he would accept a partial cash and partial credit payment to solve the problem. They also stated they had a similar problem with another location skipping town and leaving customers without service post-sale, so they understood our concerns as it's valid. They also pointed out John plans to retire soon so he won't be in business much longer likely however they would find another location owner to travel to us if need me. Southern hospitality at this HQ 100%. We texted and called multiple times to complete the sale over the next 2 weeks. After a 2 month working relationship with a contract in hand and ready to write him a check to begin work, John GHOSTED us without so much as a voicemail, letter, text, nothing. Highly unprofessional. After 4 weeks waiting for him to respond, giving consideration perhaps something had prevented him from replying, we ordered the same product from elsewhere and paid a few hundred more BUT we were able to get quick, friendly service, installation warranty, full product warranty, and use our credit card which gives us peace of mind long term for warranty records as well as cashback on the $5000+ purchase from our card issuer. Overall, we wanted to use John, HQ were reassuring and reasonable people, and he had better products than Endwell Rug or Discount Carpet. But, ultimately, someone who acts inscrutably pre-sale is going to be trouble post-sale. We are very happy with our new flooring and are bummed we could not support this small local business.

    John installed new carpet in our conference rooms at both Jim Rollo State Farm Offices(Jim Rollo…read moreState Farm in Endwell and Jim Rollo State Farm in Binghamton). We received great advice regarding available carpet selections to stay within our budget. The installers were courteous, neat and did a quality work. We are very satisfied with everything.

    I went to Endwell Rug to buy ceramic tiles for a floor for a half-bathroom. I went to the store…read morefour times, three to select the tile, take a sample home, return the sample. Brad, the man who lays their tiles came to my home, ostensibly to do the measurements. For the threshold to the bathroom, I now have and still want a marble bar, which other stores offer. He told me that he only would provide a metal threshold. I want below the new wallpaper an edge of tile several inches in height, which I have in another bathroom. He complained that he did not want to cut tiles to make the edge. I should have got the point, yet after he bragged that he himself could redo the entire bathroom, I asked him if he would install the vanity and recess the medicine cabinet. He assented. I listed what would be in his written contract for the extra work, which included caulking. He texted me as follows: "Between that yes but you said vanity to the wall. I'm a professional with 30 years..you either trust my work or you can get another guy to install them". I showed the text to three friends, who said "he's unprofessional" and "he does not want your job". The fourth time I went to the store was politely to ask for someone else to lay the tiles. The salesman Bob said that my request was "above his pay-grade". The manager Anselm who listened to me was silent. Four days later Paul, the salesman who waited on me, called and said that I would have to shop elsewhere.

    They create beautiful mosaics. You definitely need to order samples because some of the samples I…read morereceived did not look close to the picture on their website. It gets really pricey to order samples because you pay a high shipping charge so I'd recommend starting your selection early, ordering you top 2-3 and hope you like one. The challenge I had with them was their customer service. Since it is made to order, you don't get a good sense of when it will arrive. I've had to reach out to customer service a few times. Sometimes they didn't respond until the second or third attempt, other times they say it will ship, but you don't receive a confirmation. When you are remodeling a home and this is just one of the 200 items you are ordering, it's difficult to plan. It's also difficult to schedule the contractors without good communication.

    The 3 stars are all for their product. My backsplash is finally done and looks amazing! Beautiful…read moreblue glass - no complaints there. My problem comes in with their service. For my main order, I ordered exactly the number of square feet my contractor requested. Toward the end of the project, he realized he was 4 square feet short, though no one had ever counted sheets in the original order. The problem could have been that Susan Jablon shorted us or that our contractor told us the incorrect amount initially - we didn't know and just wanted to finish up our project prior to a rapidly approaching move-in date. So we called Susan Jablon and spoke to one of her employees about purchasing 4 more sheets. I explained that we were in a big rush to finish up, and even asked about paying more for rush delivery service. Since we're in the same state, I was assured the order would go out that same afternoon and arrive within 2 days with ground shipping so we decided against the rush shipping. Plans were made for the tile installation guy to come back the day after we were told the order would arrive. Unfortunately, the tile didn't arrive and I had to call to follow up. It was still sitting on their counter! Given the rush we were in and the conversation I'd had earlier in the week, someone really ought to have told me that there had been a delay. Then I noticed on my credit card transactions that I had been charged about double for my follow-up order vs. what I had been quoted. I called in right away and was told that I'd get a refund to my credit card, but that it could take 10-14 days to process. On the long side, but fine, not the end of the world - and I was told that this was just giving them a cushion and it could be sooner. I marked my calendar to check to make sure the refund came through. Now that we're in that period, I logged on to check for the refund. You guessed it, nothing. So I called back and this time (I think) I spoke to Susan herself, who pulled up my order history and said she saw nothing about needing to process any refund. She also told me the original issue came from the fact that I was charged for double the number of sheets as what had been ordered. It's too late to get a refund back to my credit card, and also too late to get any tax back because the tax bill has been paid, but they're refunding me for 5 sheets rather than 4 to make up for the difference. This time I'm supposed to be receiving a check. Hopefully it comes! So overall, great product, but highly disorganized service and they really dropped the ball a couple times. I had a ton going on with my renovation, ordering all sorts of tile, appliances, fixtures, etc. and the amount of follow-up required on this one element was really not appreciated.
