Has anybody ever had home depot install anything? I just finished my basement and the final step is installing carpet. Went to home depot to get carpet installed, figured they use them on lots of TV shows and yes advertising works for me.
From the beginning it just appeared to be a really shady operation, you pay the measure fee $60 then they call someone to call you to setup an appointment to measure, once you've waited for the lady to call you, and setup an appointment, then you again wait for her to come back with a quote. Then pay (in full) home depot will call someone else to tell them to install some carpet, again they will call you and setup an appointment.
This whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth about their "professional" installation. Is this how it normally works with these guys, anybody have them to some installations before?
