I am remiss in doing this review regarding the work we had done in November. Holidays and travel plans slowed me down but Rich Linnell of Rich's Carpet One doesn't slow down at all. He has been fantastic to work with and I can't say enough about how dedicated he is and how much he strives to have satisfied customers. Rich responded immediately to my call requesting an estimate, scheduling a date to come out within a couple days. He arrived promptly to take the measurements, answer questions and make recommendations and said we should go to his storefront to see samples as they have very many to bring around. <br /> Rich was right, when we got to the store it was almost overwhelming the number of beautiful floor coverings. There are amazing warranties on his products, not just in terms of manufacturer warranties, as his gold, platinum and titanium level products have a Beautiful Guarantee to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase, which shows how much Rich stands behind his flooring products. We were looking for wood flooring and some type of flooring for the kitchen. Following Rich's recommendation of what some types of flooring to focus on narrowed down the selection a bit and we found several we liked to take home to view. His store staff was nice to work with pulling out samples we were interested in, making some other suggestions, spreading samples out on the floor. Picking out wood flooring took a little longer to narrow down but then we found one we fell in love with. We took that home along with a couple other possibilities just in case it didn't look as nice in our home. Both our first choice selections for the wood floor and the kitchen flooring were perfect when we looked at them at home. <br /> We called the next day with our choices and it only took a couple days for Rich to get back to us with the estimate. Once we had agreed to the contract, materials were ordered, and as soon as they were available he called to work out a date to start the installation. As we had to purchase new cove molding for all the rooms, Rich directed us to a supplier where we could go, select what we wanted, and order it, then one of the work crews picked it up and brought it to the house when they were ready to install it saving us having to get it to the house ourselves.. <br /> Rich has work crews he can be proud of. They were polite, arrived on time, started work immediately, and it seemed they worked steady all day with just a break for lunch. Tearing up all that flooring is messy work but Rich's "demolition" crew really did their best to minimize the dirt and dust. It took a couple days to get all the flooring and tile up and the crew cleaned up every day when they were done. <br /> Mendez who seemed to be the lead for the "demolition" and "wood floor installation" crew did a wonderful job with the installation of the wood flooring. He is a craftsman. The the stair treads that had been subcontracted to another company to make to match the floors, and there were some issues with that but Rich was quick to get it corrected. Mendez is a perfectionist and noticed the <br /> imperfections with the finish before they were all installed, Rich was contacted and he came over immediately to see. He took the treads back with him, contacted the company and had new ones made. Another issue where one tread started to lift up after it was installed was corrected as soon as the new tread could be made and delivered. There can always be issues and problems develop when you are doing remodeling, especially when third parties are involved, but the important thing is that they are fixed and the promptness with which Rich acted to resolve the issues with the stair treads company is testament to how important it is to him to have satisfied customers. <br /> Craig did the installation of the Verostone flooring we had put in the kitchen. He and his co-worker arrived on time, cleaned up when done for the day and did a great job installing the flooring. Another thanks to Rich, for his recommendation we consider that flooring for the kitchen instead of ceramictile or wood. We love it. <br /> Rich also put us in touch with a contractor to replace our very old wrought iron railings that divide our split level living room from the foyer and the hand railings for the steps. We were extremely satisfied with the new wood and wrought iron railings we now have. <br /> We are very very happy our new floors. Rich was great to work with, and the quality of his products and their warranties, and the quality of the work done by his work crews are the reason there wasn't anyone but Rich's Carpet One that we would go to when we were ready for a new tile floor for my foyer and powder room, and new carpeting for my family room. We are now awaiting the arrival of these materials so an installation date can be arranged and I am confident things will go smoothly and I will have some more beautiful floors. <br />
