I am currently in the process of purchasing a home in the Enclave at Rough Hollow, Lakeway. Centerra's custom homebuilder, River Oaks, is completing the house. The salesman who had accompanied us to the model home, assured me that I would be able to choose the interior décor of the house when I met with the representatives from Floor King.
I met with Rennie Popp and Lisa Roberts at Floor King. The meeting went fine, but I noticed there were no checklists or inventory sheets to keep track of my selections- the ladies were handwriting things down on scraps of paper. I took pictures of selections and 4 hours later, was on my way.
In early April, on a Friday, I received a call from Lisa Roberts at Floor King. The backsplash that I had chosen back in November was discontinued and I had until Monday to pick out a new backsplash. Immediately I was worried- to change a backsplash tile in a kitchen would affect the granite countertops and the flooring. But as I felt rushed and without another option, I drove to Floor King that Sunday to selection something new. My mother and I took pictures of our new selection with the granite I had already picked.
Not long after, the cabinets went up. They were exactly what I had told the home builder's saleman, Lisa and Rennie I did not want. The cabinets were all one height and the wrong size for our tall kitchen walls. Then the backsplash went up. It was not what I selected. Floor King sent out and representative with the sample I had picked, and agreed with my Realtor who met him at the house, that it was not the selection I picked. Although Floor King denied any responsibility for the backsplash mistake, they eventually had to rip all of it down and we decided to finish the house without it and do it ourselves after we moved in.
During this time, I would check back to the pictures of the samples I had selected to compare to what had been installed already and noticed that the samples always seemed much nicer than what had been put in my home. When I, or my husband, would mention it to Lisa or Rennie, we were told, "that's what you receive with a production house", although River Oaks promotes itself as a custom homebuilder.
Later the floor was put down and covered with brown sheet paper to walk on and was covered in dirt where it showed through the paper. I walked through the garage and noticed a clean piece of the wood flooring. I took it home and reviewed the pictures I had taken at Floor King back in November 2013 and it was not the same wood floor I had chosen. I informed the President of Centerra Homes, the salesman, Lisa Roberts, Rennie Popp and our Realtor, and have yet to here how they plan on redressing the problem.
Today is June 23, 2014. As of today, we have no tub in our master bathroom, the entire first floor hardwood is wrong and needs to be replaced with the hardwood I chose back in November, the sink in the powder room has not been replaced plus various other small problems that need to be remedied.
I had heard that Floor King was an outstanding supplier of home interior décor with a reputation of quality work and superior customer service. Unfortunately, we have been disappointed throughout our experience with their customer service. If I could have rated them a zero, I would have- read more
