I have been a client of TIP TOP CARPET ONE for more than 20 years, I find that the staff at the…read moreshowroom are very helpful, let me give you a of example of great service. I am involved in a few strata buildings , the management of these buildings and making decisions take a long time, it isnt a wham bam kind of thing. We make an appointment, the estimator Mike Jacobson, he comes over measures the entire building, brings some samples to discuss, goes away, crunches some numbers for sq ftgs, then gets back to me with some thoughts, then a further consultation about how to cut costs with flooring in stairwells, some preventive measures to preserve the carpet in these high traffic areas, then advised us of the best colors for rental buildings, the best quality available within a comfortable range of price. He states, you have to be confident and comfortable as a consumer, specially if I am acting on behalf of 35 other investors in the building. Very important.
Anyway, this does not happen overnight, the dollars involved are large as the building, we were given a very competitive price to consider, the follow up and attention to detail was over the top. Yet we still had to present to council, then take the large expenditure to an AGM some months later for the owners consideration and ultimate approval...... Thats right, not a wham bam situation.... more time required. The expense was approved by a unanimous vote, so then on with the show...
More time required, we were refitting our building with new lighting, new baseboards, tile lobby, new paint .. and we had a GC that was not available immediately, but would be ready to go some months later, as this was large scale and required their ultimate focus. All the while communicating, timing of the flooring order, and further discussion with the GC.
The project finally got going, the pieces of the puzzle all came together, and the project was perfect, we had the correct amount of product from CARPET ONE, we economized with different material in the stairwells, Mike recommended we put stair caps on the the edge of each stair, so that the there were no tears 5-10 years down the road. Great idea!! The tile he recommended in conjunction with the main carpet in the hall was very contemporary, and will stay in style for years. IT LOOKS GREAT!!!
Now a few years have passed since we did this project, and everything, CARPET ONE said was true, the carpet still looks amazing as it did the day it went in, It is so durable, and fashionable. I haven't fallen off the turnip truck yesterday. I have seen carpets in rental buildings, then I have carpets in rental buildings, these, for the record have stood up remarkably well. Now we could have been jammed into some "deal" by some other "vendor" with "inferior product" then replace in 10 years, but we didnt, we got the BEST from the BEST. and will look great in 25 years
The other thing I would like to mention, that is unknown, is the class and charisma of this group of individuals at CARPET ONE. This process took nearly a year to put together, there were many phone calls between the parties, suppliers, client, GC and of course the courteous staff at TIP TOP CARPET ONE. Everyone felt like they were top priority, every step of the way, the customer service was excellent. Everything was in place, everything was the way it should have been. The experience was exceptional.
I have more stories to relay, but I will start with this one first
I highly recommend TIP TOP CARPET ONE, give them a call , no matter how big or small your job is. These guys have you "covered"
