Review №1

This is being written by her son on behalf of my mom.They are good when you want to buy carpet but terrible on the service side of their business. My elderly mother bought carpet 5 years ago. Now the carpet has been buckling and Carpet King is only willing to stretch the carpet again instead of replacing the defective carpet. My mother lives alone so this carpet should have lasted more than 5 years. it just feels like they are taking advantage of the elderly with this poor customer service. My mother has been going back and forth with them for a month with no satisfactory resolution. They provide lip service on the phone when they say we want to make this right. They have no interest in making it right, they only want to pacify my mom to frustrate her to the point of dropping the issue.They are all about the sale - forget about the service. We are having the faulty carpet replaced by Home Depot who stands behind their products and service.Response to Carpet King - We have been working with your service department or LACK of service department - for over a month without a satisfactory response. It feels like the longer they drag this process out the more likely we will drop the issue. Well Carpet King you get your wish because we are going to Home Depot because we will not spend $1 with you. After 5 years you are only offering a stipend for a 10 year warranted carpet. Anyone reading this should spend their hard earned money elsewhere.By from Carpet King at your own risk.

Dealing with Carpet King Shop at Home has been terrible. Sales rep was Justin Nordin. Received no itemized purchase agreement. Spoke to someone twice asking for this over a 2 week span and was told I will ask my supervisor Then he is in a meeting then in the same conversation he is out of the office. Still no itemized purchase agreement. Carpet King store cannot help. I am left hoping the install is good. I am left with no assistance. Terrible customer service!

Worse install experience ever. We have a 1800 square foot basement and they did not even use a power carpet stretcher. They only used a knee kicker! Seams were horrible. Had to have them come back and redo several of them the day after initial install. Now a few seams are coming apart and they will not warranty them, 3 years later. No lifetime install guarantee here. Never again will I purchase from them. Do yourself a favor and go through a small local carpet dealer instead.

The carpet is fantastic! Everything from the selection to install was really easy. And they were cheaper than a big box home improvement store!!

Gerald was about as helpful as you could ask for. He walked us through everything, answered all our questions, and got our whole project done in one week. The installers were on-time, professional, and did a great job. Was truly an easy and seamless process.

We shopped all around town for new carpet. The big box stores and several chains. Carpet King provided great customer service and very competitive pricing. The installation team was very professional and our new carpet looks great. I highly recommend visiting Carpet King for any of your flooring needs.

The produce is top-notch--we are so pleased with the Core-Tech floor! However, the service was not good. I was told we would be called to schedule an install when the product arrived, but I was not called. Instead, I had to call a couple of times to see if the product was in. It took longer than the 10-day estimate I was given--it took 2 weeks.Then, the wrong color threshold piece was sent by the factory, so the installer was not able to complete the install, and did not caulk between the tub and new floor, either. When I called Carpet King, I was told that the correct threshold piece would be ordered and arrive within a few days via UPS. I was asked to call a few days later to check on it if I had not yet been called to schedule a time when the installer could complete the final work. Of course I didnt receive a call from Carpet King. So I called them after a few days just to be told that the installer had not reported that he had the incorrect threshold piece and that the job was not complete. So of course the correct threshold piece had not even been ordered yet! Now we have to wait at least another week for the installation to be completed.Talk about delays! Why didnt Carpet King follow up on it? Why am I the one who always had to call them? Their Customer Service is just awful in my opinion!

Wide selection and very knowledgeable staff. Arrival of flooring and installation was quick. Would give 4.5 stars if possible due to significant language barrier with installers and backordered vent covers. They did offer to wait on install until the vents were in so I wouldn’t have holes in the floor but I chose not to wait. It will be 2 full months from order until it is completely finished.

I purchased carpet through the Carpet King in Maple Grove. Gerald and Deb Were very knowledgeable and friendly. The installer did a very good job he took great care in installing my runner. I would highly recommend Carpet King.

Very poor experience. We were told repeatedly “7 to 10 days” for delivery until we ordered and paid half down. As soon as they had that payment the delivery date was moved out two weeks. The installer had too much of the transition pieces and not enough quarter round. I had to drive out to the store to return the extra product and then I still had to call repeatedly to get a credit. The installer ensured me he would be back to put in the last eight feet of quarter round. Many phone calls later I still don’t have it and I’m told it will cost another $400 on top of the more than $2000 already paid. The store staff seem to be pleasant people but they can’t be believed.

I had a need for both carpet and laminate flooring and needed it quickly. Knowing about the quick turnaround I agreed to pay a higher price. My carpet was installed timely but the laminate was NOT. A day after my installation was to occur I called. They said they didnt know what was going on. I asked for my salesperson to call me first thing Monday. They did not call, so I did. Then and only then, i was informed my order was never placed. It would be another 10 days as they just placed the order. I understand things happen, but I expected financial compensation for this mistake. At no point had anyone apologized. I was simply told mistakes happen. I work in the construction industry and mistakes do happen. Everytime they do, we make up for it in kindness and by taking a financial hit. The flooring took another 10 days to come in and they offered me $100 off for my inconvenience. Considering I needed to extend the rental of my storage pod, reschedule my painting touchups, and movers to put my furniture back in place, and that I paid a higher price for the quicker turn around, I felt this was inadequate. But my only option was to cancel and search for another floor, or to install with their lousy discount for my inconvenience.When they came to install, they tried to hit me up with change orders for the laminate. The nerve of this company. They came to my home and looked at the job before quoting it. Not my problem. I refused to pay any additional monies and vowed to let others know of my terrible customer service. Future buyers beware!

We bought carpet for our entire house after looking around town for other options. Gerald was very knowledgeable and helpful, got great pricing etc.. our carpet did take longer to arrive than originally promised, ((by 10 days or so), and there was an issue with getting it scheduled because of logistics on my end (moving furniture, piano, pool table). Like some of the other reviewers mentioned, I had to call them to follow up, but I don’t think that is beyond expectations when you are anxious to get work done.The 4 star review is based mostly on the installers—I have NEVER seen harder workers. Juan and Pablo were at my home for 14 hours the first day and 12 hours the next. They were polite, clean and worked nonstop (I don’t even thing they really took a break for lunch or dinner—just ate as they worked). Before they left they had vacuumed all the rooms and stairs, swept the hard floors of all the debris and we did a walk through. Carpet looks great. I would recommend!

Don’t believe them when they say it takes 11 days from purchase to install. It took 2 1/2 weeks for my flooring to show up and then the only installation times they had were 1 1/2 days later (not enough time to get my whole downstairs cleared out) or wait almost 2 weeks. Flooring should go in tomorrow 5 weeks after I purchased it partially due to floor leveling.

Ordered carpet April 1 (yes, really). They said it would be a week to a week and a half.April 13 it arrived and we arranged installation for the 17th.April 14 they called back to say it hadnt arrived, my carpet (paid in full) was lost. They didnt know where it was, had no plan to find it.April 17 I called them to find out what the plan was. Apparently 11 am is too early, because she said she would try to find out sometime.April 18- no newsApril 19-I was referred to customer service. I had to call multiple times to get a person.Carpet was reordered. It would arrive in ANOTHER week, week and a half.April 26th-finally installed. It looks nice.

The sale of our carpet was good and we were provided with an expected install date of 10 days, which was a large reason we chose CK (our re-appraisal was scheduled and we needed the carpet asap). Unfortunately, it took ONE MONTH for install. Nobody called me to inform me, I had to keep calling them week after week. We had to re-schedule our re-appraisal and when I asked if there was anything they could do for the troubles, I was told you signed a contract that we arent responsible for delays. Thats it. Customer service after the sale was HORRIBLE. Scheduling install was bad- they charge extra for Sat install and wouldnt waive the fee even though the carpet was WEEKS behind. Carpet is here and installed, but I would never use Carpet King again.
