Obviously you don’t pay for it. Period.


This. As stewards of public funds, you can't pay for that kind of work. The carpet company needs to make it right.

Too bad because the rest of the building is coming along beautifully. The entire building renovation has taken FOREVER though.

Company did what they were told to do. They ain't gonna fix it for free.


Proper installation is part of the job. Its not proper installation if you lay the pattern completely wrong and mismatched.

If the contractor won’t make it right, you make a claim against their contractor’s general liability insurance and then they can deal with higher insurance rates and/or possibly being dropped by their insurer.

Scottsdale, Arizona,


Company probably has competent labor in Arizona that they don’t have to babysit so they didn’t think there was a need.

Company probably hired local incompetent labor and discovered the difference between competent workers vs, Mississippi workers.

There it is.


A low bid company out of Arizona doing installs in Biloxi should have set off alarm bells.

I seriously doubt you've seen any type of material and labor contract.

A lot of high traffic venues choose elaborate, varied carpet designs since you can't see trash etc on the floor as well vs pure black


Yep. Casino carpets are known for this.

I can usually tell a place’s ownership by the design of the carpets.
