Forum Title: Carpet not attached to tackstrip

New carpet install yesterday. I thought the install look good, but while vacuuming I noticed buckling around a register. Taking a better look, the carpet isn't attached to the tackstrips in several places around the room. You can just pull it up. You can also pull the carpet up in the middle of the room a good 3/4 and it goes back down slowly. Installer also broke my vertical blinds and said nothing about it. Carpet store is having the installer come out and talk to me about the problems. Any suggestions on how to handle the installer when he comes back to fix the issue?

Do you have Weapons?

They didn?t power stretch the installation, very common. Is the appt set? I would cancel appt till some more talking is done. We don?t have all the details for entire transaction. The weapons comment means this, they ought to be shot for not installing correctly. But, this is my opinion. - I believe installers are not compensated properly for the work they do! Now if we go backward, how did you arrive at this ?situation?? I assume you shopped price and not quality installation, but many other factors included.
