      Bobs carpet and Flooring located on ************** very bad customer service. I was promised a 9:30- 10:30 install but no one called and when i finally reached the store- they said the truck broke down and were sending another installer so i should just wait. I said wait how long and why don't you call your installer and find out what's going on.The new installer called at 11:15 and said he was on the way- no arrival time specified. I could hear he had a child in the background but assumed wrongly that he would take his child home before arriving for installation. When he finally arrived now I had been waiting(I don't live at the installation location -i waited 2.5 hours+ . When the installer arrived with his toddler - he barely spoke and bulldozed his way into our house with his child. I asked him to not run his equipment over a newly painted area- he said its fine. That's about all he said - I called the store and brought the Realtor over - I said this was highly unusual and inappropriate to bring a child along. ***'s carpet acted like it was no big deal. This house was freshly painted and cleaned with a toddler running around bouncing off the walls with no supervision except the installer yelling at his child.The realtor agreed its unsafe, inappropriate *** liability. ***'s carpet never took my calls, I had to use another persons phone so they would answer- I clear indication of dishonest behavior. The installer left, the store never contacted me to follow up, but charged my credit c. immediately. Later I called them again and again they would NOT take my call but when my message said I was going to file a complaint they called back. I was stone walled again-told I was asking for $ back when indeed what they needed to do was deal with a problematic installer and an unsafe situation. Don't trust or believe them. Be in fear for your safety and liability with rouge installers. ***'s carpet is desperate to use and not correct inappropriate behavior.

      Your answer Bob's carpet is standard and not addressing the issue. Since I posted this comment all over social media and next door- you are NOT a favored business and I found out I am NOT the only one that had this experience with this installer. In another case, he brought his father and girlfriend along. I also learned that Bob's carpet asks for bidders on their installations and choses low bidders - which aligns with my experience. You, Bob's carpet on 53rd ave in Bradenton might also address the fact that you would NOT take my calls but when I called form another phone and area code, you immediately answered the phone. NOT very reputable. You also accused me of wanting money back on this terrible experience and job even though I NEVER asked for that, you just assumed that your unsatisfied customer would want something since you treated them with bad service. You volunteered to discuss with your manager and she would call me the next morning which NEVER happened. You are hiding behind your problems. You did not apologize or service my issue. You allow Bad installers and practices that are unethical , not to mention dangerous since the child was NOT being watched- just yelled at by his installer father. This is all unethical and ignoring me was your decision and shows how cowardly you are to NOT address these issue's. DO NOT USE BOB"S CARPET ON 53#rd ave in Bradenton. They do NOT deserve BBB accreditation.
