TheHomeDepot . I just wanted everybody to see the flooring job that The Home Depot , Store #3907 & Cooper Installation did in our home . We have had multiple home builders, and contractors come in and look at the job and everyone of them have said it is one of the worst flooring jobs that they have seen.
They have said that no respectable company would ever OK this job.
The Home Depot's District manager is declining our request to have our floors fixed based on a simple lie by the installer . In our bid it states that the installer provides 1/8" of floor leveling . When my fiancé asked about the leveler, he told her it was an additional $3,000. Who gets off charging $4 a square foot for leveling . She asked him if he thought we needed it and he said we did not, because there was only one spot and he could grind it down . He did so with no filter on his vacuum , which created a new meaning to dust bowl in our home. My future father in law had to step outside because it was so dusty, he couldn't breathe . They cut tile in our home, the swept their trash and dust in our vents , they washed out their buckets in our bathtub , they threw their trash buckets in our creek, our yard, and left our garage a complete mess . There is dried mud on our garage floor as well . There is over 30 pieces of full length tile cut in the middle of the floor . I thought there were different colors of grout , but a 3rd party contractor came in today and said it was because they did not clean the mud out of the joints before they grouted the floor. There are multiple kickers , 4 way joints ,(in plank tile) , and the grout lines range from being no grout joint, to 1/4". There are standard brick patterns in spots ,which is a no no to The Home Depot and it's on the tile box . They completely messed up our rock fire place by running grout all over it , instead of using a diamond blade and making it look like the rock was laid on the tile .
When talking to Cooper Installation's corporate service manager , she told me that the job was not done properly and that she would do everything to fix it . They called back a couple hours later and said that The Home Depot were in charge , handling it and that they could do nothing about it. The Home Depot's store assistant manager came down with the Cooper manager to look at the job . The Home Depot's team said that it was a poor job and that they would make it right . Of course the Cooper manager said it "looked good for what they had to work with". The installer said that my fiancé declined the leveling and she was aware that the floors would have the roller coaster look. Who in there right mind would be ok with that ? He also said that she declined the leveling when she stepped out of the house . I said they needed to make that statement with her present . When I went to get her , we came back inside and the Cooper team had left . We did no get to say what was really said . The Home Depot manager said that if the concrete was that bad , then he should have walked away from the job. EVERY CONTRACTOR will tell you that there isn't one piece of concrete that is completely level and that you NEVER lay the floor with the slope of the concrete , you build up from the low spots . Their only defense is based on a lie . They knew they messed up the job and are looking for a way out .
When talking to the Customer Support team in Georgia , we found out that our request was denied but there were photos and information left out . We also found out that there were two managers, whom should have been involved in the final decision but left out . We tried contacting our resolution expeditor but she would never return our calls . I finally got in touch with someone who said that our original expeditor should not have even been handling our case .
We have been getting railroaded for almost a month now and all we want is for our floors to be fixed . Instead of putting money into a wedding venue , we decided to put it into our home and have the wedding here . This has completely wrecked our plans and I'm just trying to get the word out and hopefully somebody will do something about this issue . Please share and thank you for your time . read more
