Welcome to the Fifty Floor Community

My wife and I wanted to have the carpets in our home replaced and the tile/laminate replaced with hardwood. The total bill came to $22k.

After deciding to go with 50 Floor out of the Raleigh/Durham, NC area, I wish my wife and I would have looked elsewhere. Not once, but twice, the wood we chose (Mullican, 3/4" planks) ended up being of such poor quality, that it simply COULD NOT be installed without mangling it and stapling/nailing it to the ground with multiple nails/staples inside the board, not at the tongue and groove.

To their credit, the General Manager did come out to our house to look at the situation both times, and even called in one of the reps from the flooring manufacturer itself to look at the sub-par product, from which (surprisingly) he "could not determine what was wrong." Suffice to say, the first batch of wood was cupped (bowed in towards the center) so hard, it looked like wooden wave-tops across my living room, and walking on it in bare feet actually caused pain. The next batch the wood slid smoothly between the tongue and groove (there should be some friction to ensure the boards stay together) and creaked hard.

When I approached the general manager to inquire how he wanted to go about and try to keep my business, after failing to provide a product of merit, while my family and I had been living on our sub-flooring for almost 3 weeks, they offered a paltry discount to our $22k investment in their company.

The lack of respect and good business practices is indicative of greater issues that likely exist in their organization.

Other issues:

1. Terrible customer service at their operations center.

2. When the second batch of wood went awry, they wanted to jump in and start the carpet installation, so they could justify that expense, even though they said it was their company model to do the hardwood first, then the carpet and then the transitions.

3. In the removal of my old carpet and tiles, the crew severely damaged our baseboards all over the house. I had to get an independent contractor to quote me for the damage to prime and replace them all, 14 in total. (See pictures below) We sent them a formal termination of agreement letter and requested remuneration for the damage done to our home by their employees, worth $400. To date, they have only refunded our initial 50%/half-down payment.

Look elsewhere, and price check. We found a better deal with better products and a better experience. The fact that they come to you is nice, but it is not worth the hassle.

I am located in Ocala Fl.the salesman lied about carpeting telling me there would be no seams in my installation , doing 2 bedrooms , but I ended up with 3 . they installed the carpet like a puzzle , putting seams at 3 feet from wall then another 8 feet from that and another at the closet.

it 's like they were trying to use *** little carpet as humanly possible . was not what i payed for . they send a repair person out but what could he do ?

I wouldn t waste the money with this company . there are to many good company's out there to waste your time and money on 50 floors

i had a sales rep for 50 Floor out to my home today. They base their prices on an algorithm and not a per sq ft pricing.

Their price was 262.5% more than the local flooring stores for just the material since they advertise there is no installation charge. What?? When questioned the salesman called his boss who lowered the price $10,000.00 without any hesitation to lock in the deal. I asked the salesman to leave and he told me that most people he deals with are not educated enough to realize they are being suckered into a lie.

What is the deal??? Run as fast as you can from this fraudulent company.

The same as most of the customers who are complaining. Buckling of the floor in less than one week after instalation.

They failed to install 2 closets, the installer was a *** who felt it was my duty to move the furniture, which my daughter and i did move a lot. He refused to start until i finally had to call the office. I wish i had never heard of 50-floor. I finally had to take them to court, the judge awarded me the judgement, which has never been paid.

They called me dishonest, apparently felt the judge was dishonest, and because i did not call them personally to tell them i had filed a claim. I had to serve them 3 times to three 3 different locations before getting them served. I was not supposed to notify them, the papers that served them told them of the claim. The general manager was the last of the 4 people who inspected the damaged materials.

Had the floor not buckled it still would have been inferior materials. When i clean the floors i spend about 3 hours cleaning them, of course i have to vacuum, i mop, i use a dust mop. I should be able to clean with a dust mop, with a damp mop only one time a month. I followed the advice of justin who is the installation manager on how to clean.

I am 74 years old and i have arthritis. At that time i noticed swelling in my abdomen, learning it was a hernia having surgery for that problem. I am not saying the cleaning methods caused it but i think it exacerbated the growth of it. I would never have gone to the media had they done what they should have.

I know now that they overcharged me. The laminate is very thin, and after checking with Home Depot and what they had that was less than 50-floor charged.

There was a great difference in the quality of their laminate compared to 50-floor's materials. I only want them to do the right thing and i can get over the situation.

Run away from this company!! They give you a good price and never show up and if they are talking they are lying!!'nn
