  ********** should be ashamed of Crew2's quality of work. Crew2 left our home is horrendous condition after a carpet installation. We just spent $20K to have our home entirely painted and although we were expecting some touch *** this is excessive. Our painter will not complete the job under "touch ***" because it's too large of a project. Additionally, Crew2 poorly installed the carpet. It has ripples everywhere and every seam is visible. This company does NOT care about your home or the quality of their work. If **********/Crew2 do not pay for the damages, we will be force to take legal action. Below you can see the photos. These are just a few examples. Every inch Crew2 touched looks like this.

  We take pride in our commitment to quality and always regret any instance where our work does not meet expectations. Prior to being notified of ********************** formal complaint to the BBB, we already initiated steps to address her concerns about the carpet installation.
  Addressed and corrected all identified carpet concerns, including re-stretching and re-tacking in necessary areas.
  Conducted a thorough walk-through with ****************** to ensure these adjustments met her satisfaction.
  Noted the paint damage, which appears to have been exacerbated by the paint on the baseboards not being fully cured at the time of our service. We are actively engaging with ************** to find a satisfactory solution for the paint concerns.
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience or distress this situation has caused. Crew2 is dedicated to ensuring the complete satisfaction of our customers, and is committed to resolving this matter to ********************** satisfaction.

  My wife and I were looking to finally update or kitchen. We went to the HomeDepot and found an affordable option, new doors and drawers, with a refacing of the original cabinets. This was advertised as a 90 completion. We paid in full at the end of October 2022. The work was supposed to be completed by February 1, 2023. New cabinets and countertops were completed in January 2023, but the rest of the work was spotty throughout the year and was finished on September 28, 2023. All throughout the project were reorders of doors and drawers, drawers fronts, hardware. We went through 4 installers and was told that many ****** customers were waiting a year or longer to complete their project. ( they must have known this when we paid ?)One installer did more damage to the cabinets then repair them. ( I have many photos)I have been in contact with one of the managers, who is not keeping her word and is playing some stall and they will go away game. We have ask for some of our money be returned for all the inconvenience and eating out we had to do. This has been going on for the past couple of months. Our experience with crew2 has been the most unprofessional and unapologetic group I have ever worked with. I would not recommend using their services. Sale # F2842098

  I ordered carpet via ********** on 9/02/2023, after multiple delays the carpet was installed by Crew2 (**********'s flooring installation contract) on 11/07/2023. I reported a carpet stain left by the installers on 11/10/2023, carpet bubbles, visible seam, and stairway carpet not stretched/tacked down on edges on 11/20/2023. After multiple calls to Crew2, a work order to correct the issues was placed by ********** on 12/05/2023. As of 12/28/2023, Crew2 has not contacted me to schedule a fix. Please help!

  On receipt of this complaint, we promptly contacted the customer on 12/28/23 and scheduled a return visit for 1/9/24. Unfortunately, this did not go well and we've had to reorder the customer's carpet. We are actively talking with ************** and working to get an ETA to update the customer with. We will strive to work towards satisfactory resolution on this and keep the customer informed along the way.

  Customer response

   I am rejecting this response because: the job isn't finished - the 'fixes' created more issues, including knocking a hole in a wall and additional carpet damage. No date provided yet by Crew2 for the additional carpet repairs
  
  
  

  

  Business response

  01/16/2024

  As referenced in our original response, the customer is correct that the repairs did not go well. We are working towards arranging a full reinstallation, and as previously mentioned the carpet has been reordered. We will not be able to take any action until the new carpet has arrived, but as soon as that happens we will arrange a new day for installation.

  Paid ********** for a floor installation. Purchased all the material and prepped the entire house for flooring install. We prepared approximately 800 sq/ft for install including removing a toilet. Measurements were captured and dips and crowns were properly documented and agreed upon befor proceeding (all parties were made aware). On the date of install, one man arrived in an old Chrysler Town and Country. He walked through the home, saw the size of the job and his demeanor immediately changed to "I don't want to do this". The installer pulled out his 48" level and proceeded to go around to the dips and claim they were too deep for leveling. I watched him hold the level at one side and hold the level at an angle where the bubble was raised up and not level. He then proceeded to tell me it was over the 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch limit and could not do the job. After he left, I took my own 48" level and captured photos/videos showing the height was far less than 1/4 inch in the areas he claimed were too deep. I provided photos and videos to ********** who agreed the dips were within installation standards. They contacted Crew 2 and Crew 2 refused the install. Numerous other floor installers completed their own estimates and all other parties agreed the dips were less than 1/4". They still have the THOUSANDS of dollars I paid to them. My house is still torn apart. I am now sitting with **** lbs of materials in my kitchen, a hole where my toilet used to be, and 3 young children who are very upset with the house in shambles. Arguably the worst customer service I have ever recieved.

  

  Business response

  During the initial installation, the original installer noted areas of the floor that were slightly out of level. Based on his assessment, he did not feel comfortable installing the flooring without first having the levelness addressed. We were able to arrange for a different installer to review the project and he determined that the floor could be installed properly without additional floor prep. We completed the installation in full on 11/14/23.

  Customer response

  11/15/2023

   I am rejecting this response because:
  Yes, the floors were eventually installed.  However, another installer associated with Crew 2 was able to complete the job that I paid for a week after it was supposed to be done.  It still does not change the fact that an installer associated with Crew 2 came to my residence, lied to me, attempted to trick me and convince me a project couldn't be done because he was not prepared for the size of the job.

  I had Crew 2 through ********** install a new hot water heater. The old one decided to start leaking on the Friday before Labor Day so on Saturday I went into ********** to purchase a new one and set up installation. I was told they outsource the work to another company who would call me. Before I was out of the store I received a telephone call from Crew 2. The individual set up the installation for the Tuesday after Labor Day and gave me a quote for the entire process. I was flabbergasted at the amount and she explained to me the reasoning for the amount, but did not provide any dollar amounts even when I asked. I was in need of the hot water heater and agreed to the installation. After the quick and efficient installation I requested a receipt and was told that it would be emailed to me. I did receive a receipt; however it looked like a cash register receipt with no break down of the charges. I called ********** twice, once never getting a call back and then the second time I finally had someone tell me that I had to call Crew 2 for that information. I placed a call twice to Crew 2, requesting a break down of the charges, being told they would email it to me; however a project manager would need to take care of it (and he/she was not available when I was on the phone with them). I still have not received the break down of the charges! I want to know how they came up with the amount that they charged me...the cost of the hot water heater, trip charge, installation charge, removal of the old hot water heater charge, etc. For some reason they are not providing this to me and I need this information! I guess I would like to know what the big secret is regarding what they charged me! Overcharged maybe? I may never find out! Needless to say I will not be using ********** for any installation projects again if it means dealing with Crew 2.

  

  Business response

  We truly appreciate the patience and understanding shown by our customer while handling their concerns about the costs related to their recent water heater installation. We understand that clarity on pricing is vital, and we apologize for the confusion and delay caused in delivering a detailed breakdown of the charges. Our actions fell short of not only the customer's expectations but also our own.

  On review of the complaint, we discovered that a misstep occurred on our end when initially attempting to email the itemized receipt. The email address was mistyped, which unfortunately caused a delay. Upon realizing our error, corrective action was immediately taken, and the correct breakdown was subsequently sent to the customer.

  Going forward, we've reinforced our process to include additional checks for accuracy and emphasized the importance of timely communication with our team members. We've also ensured that any necessary documentation will be sent within a clearly communicated timeframe of 3-5 business days. We deeply regret the discomfort our customer had to endure and we are taking necessary steps to right the wrong and prevent it from happening in the future.

  It's been a 2-year process to get my kitchen completely done and it's still not completely done. The crew two members are the most disorganized company I've ever experienced in my life. ****** and ******* I've had many phone calls from me throughout this experience sending back cabinets twice, once because of Mismeasuring and another time because they are the wrong cabinets. The official start to the project was first steps at ********** in September 2021 and finally, the bulk of the job was done by Mid January 2023. I still have one door remaining to be replaced, I've reminded them now two times about this, and I still haven't had my final walkthrough from the city of Rochester.. will be full circle job not completed for a 2 year ordeal. Throughout this whole process no one was apologetic nor that they offered to do anything for all the hassle that I had to deal with. Initially I just wanted the job done and wanted nothing extra from them, but today's phone call triggering my memory of this ordeal makes me wonder if they could have done something help me out with this situation. I tell my friends the story of this kitchen remodel and they are surprised at the lack of professionalism, timeliness and sense of urgency to get my project completed. More details of this ordeal are listed in my review of Crew 2

  First and foremost, we want to express our sincere apologies to ****************** for his experience. Our normal procedures are designed to complete projects in a timely manner, so it's disappointing to see the delays that occurred in this case.
  
  This isn't reflective of our usual standards, and we are working closely with our business partner, *************** to discuss possible compensation given the inconvenience ****************** has experienced. Additionally, we are scheduling a return visit to resolve the remaining cabinet door issue.
  
  We want to assure ****************** that we appreciate his patience and understanding and deeply regret the discomfort faced. We are doing everything in our power to make it right.

  Purchased carpeting from ********** in July and was told that Crew2 would call to schedule an appt in 48 hours. 5 days later, I called them to schedule an appt. Lots of excuses as to why they did not call me. On the day of installation they showed up with the wrong carpet. I was in contact with ********** and later received a second appointment for installation. One the second day, I was informed the pad that was in plastic was wet. I was told by the lead person that they did not have time to work with me or ********** as my job was too small, they had a bigger and more important job to do. They were going to leave until I told them I was calling **********. A person at the store was on the phone with Crew2 and ********** and finally 6 hours later a new appt date was set. I explained though that I did not have any days to take off. crew 2 then did not want to install the carpet. ********** arranged for someone to be there. Install day 3 only one room of carpet was installed. Five of six steps were to be carpeted and I was to do step 6 due to a partially rotted board. They failed to do any of the steps. ********** contacted me and asked what I wanted to do. At first I said I would just take care of it but then on Sunday went to the store and told them to have Crew2 finish their job. As of **** on Monday, still no call from Crew2. The store told me to call them to set up a time. I reminded them I can not take off and they will have to figure that out with Crew2. Left a message for Crew2 and still waiting to hear back.

  We are sorry this customer had a negative experience, our goal is to meet or exceed customer expectations on every project. Unfortunately there were issues that caused the project to be delayed. The installation was completed on the 1st of September. We've made a few attempts to contact the customer in order to ensure they are satisfied with the completed work, but as of yet we have had no luck reaching them.

   I am rejecting this response because:

  In December ********************************************************* a condo which is part of a housing complex for adults with special needs. *** cabinets arrived the end of February, and appliances shortly after but work has been delayed multiple times since then After promising a start date of late April and then beginning of **** *** start date was finally first week in June. My grand daughter who has a severe neurological condition and complicated mental health issues had to move and was in by the end of the week. However. the work did not begin as promised and continued to be delayed on a weekly basis until July 5th. Demo started and was finished, a gas leak occurred but was fixed by July 6th, plumber arrived July 8th, problem found, but solved by end of day.. Electric done and inspected by July 18. Nothing has been scheduled since then, so I hired my own plumber to finish what was not completed on July 8. No dry wall or installations of cabinets are scheduled to be done as yet. I have had to call on a daily basis to get any information and get only partial answers in return. I am in daily contact with ********** Brooklyn Park Manager and **************** Rep. *** project manager is poor at scheduling and even poorer at communicating which has caused the delays and played a large part in the worsening of my grand daughter's conditions. *** apartment is completely filled with cabinets and new appliances which have been there since the last week in February along with flooring and other construction materials. *** only living space is one bedroom a bathroom and space for a microwave. My granddaughter also has a 90 pound German ******* service dog living in this small space. ***re is nothing on the schedule for completion OR any continuing work at all. Of the choices below, finishing the job ASAP is first, but the new refrigerator door was damaged during construction and needs to be replaced. And I want an explanation of charges.

  I bought flooring through ********** who uses Crew2 to install (July 2021 with a one year warranty on install). When the hardwood install crew showed up for install they instantly said the floor was not level and would cost me another $600 to level. The crew took a three hour lunch but came back and leveled the floor... which is still not level to this day. One of the workers stayed busy while the other one was on his phone ALOT which made the original install take longer. I had the man in charge of the crew come back out after install but there is a large dip by the front door. He agreed that it needed fixed but my texts and calls for follow up were never returned. The crew2 carpet installers informed me that the hardwood crew did the door jams in each room incorrectly. A few months after the original install I could not tolerate how bad the flooring around the fireplace looked and asked to have someone come out. ****** ******** (a "regional manager") clearly did not know what the install crews were suppose to do and not. He agreed it needed fixed but once he talked to the crew he told me that I had stated my husband would do the work. I can assure you for what I paid for all this I would not say my husband would finish up for them. So the install work was not profession or satisfactory and now I was being called a liar. At this point I said forget it. Fast forward to April of 2022, I have a cracked piece of flooring in my hallway that needs fixed asap before someone in my home pinches their foot. I also asked that they fix the flooring around the fireplace. I even paid extra to have them do it right from what ***** (crew2 staff) had said to do. Everything was scheduled and they never showed up. I wasted the entire day waiting for them and could never get a response. I contacted **** at ********** and she was not informed that they had not shown. I asked for a refund and contact information for management to get this resolved as they have not responded either.

  Hello Bobi. I have reviewed the details of your order from the summer of 2021, and most recently our missed appointment. I am sorry for the issues up to this point. We are more than willing to still come out and do the work as previously agreed to. We can also have a local manager onsite while the work takes place if you would like. Look forward to hearin back from you.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

  BUT:

  I would like someone with Crew2 to be here during the entire process (not ***************************) that knows what the installers should be doing. 

  I would like to be the first job for the day and want the job done in one day. I do not want to risk having the job half done. I would like for them to caulk around the fireplace (clear) as they did a few weeks ago after they fixed the two problem areas. 

  Also, the area they will have to fix has a low spot (that I previously paid extra for them to fix) needs a little more leveling out. 

  I do not wish for them to cut the flooring under the fireplace.

  I purchased new Quartz counter tops to be installed in my home. I paid for everything to be done by *********** I just got the counter tops installed yesterday (3-10-2022) and am very pleased with them. The issue is, the sink was disconnected by the counter top installers, and now I have to WAIT until Monday (3-14-2022) for a plumber to reattach my sink. I was advised when all of this was set up that it would all be done within 24 hours. This is just new counter tops, not a new build. I live here and can not prepare food, do dishes, make coffee, or anything in my kitchen. This is unacceptable! I need someone here immediately to fix this!

  

  Business response

  03/11/2022

  Hello ****. I am very sorry about your experience with your countertop project. I have reviewed our records and our plumbing partner has noted that they called on 3/3, 3/4, 3/9, and 3/10. Our Project Coordinator ***** then called you on 3/10. At this point, the next available to connect your plumbing would be Monday 3/14. Again, I am sorry that we did not connect with you sooner to get the plumbing coordinated closer to the installation of your countertop.

   I am rejecting this response because:
