  I contacted Johnson & Sons flooring in July of this year to have carpet removed and replaced with flooring (LVP) in a living room and flight of stairs. I worked with ******* who is the manager of the Knoxville branch. The installation of both jobs was completed on July 28th by their sub-contractor, M&C Flooring Installation. I immediately had concerns about the stairs and contacted *******. He said he would have to call ****, their field supervisor, to see what happened as **** was also aware of my concerns. The following week **** came out to re-measure the stairs so they could order more materials needed to complete the job. I was told a scheduler would call me to setup an install date. After a week of no calls, I contacted ******* again to which he told me he spoke with **** and that he had ordered the materials and was just waiting for it to come in. Another two weeks went by so I stopped into the Knoxville store and spoke with ******* in person to get an update. He placed a call to **** and their scheduling department, neither of which could provide any information. ******* supposedly looked at the computer and confirmed materials were ordered and were “en-route”. This was on August 16th. It is now September 22nd and I have not heard anything from ******* or their scheduling department. I’ve called multiple times and have not received a single call back from anyone.
  
  The stairs they put in are not built to code and present a tripping hazard which I have repeatedly explained to *******. One third of the stairs are fine, proper tread depth of 10.5” and stair nosing that correctly cover the stair riser below. However, the remaining stairs vary in tread depth from as short as 8”, some 9”, and a couple 10” stairs. Most of the stairs don’t have nosing and are box stairs instead of normal stairs. So not only do I have varying stair tread depths, I have stairs that don’t even look the same. Traversing the stairs with such a huge variance feels extremely unsafe and difficult to navigate. My family and I have stubbed our toes more times than I can count and there have been some close calls from tripping and falling down the stairs.
  
  And this was just the stair install, the living room job was just as incompetent! Transitions were glued down improperly leaving huge gaps with adhesive oozing out from everywhere. There was even adhesive left all over the finished floor which I had to clean up and still trying to get removed to this day. Missing molding trim that I had to ask them to install, colored caulking that they used to cover up incorrect cuts in LVP panels that they somehow managed to spray all over the walls.
  
  To date they have not contacted me to schedule a new install date.

  We have been in contact with Mr ***. There’s a structural issue with his house that is something we can do nothing about. We have agreed to settle this with him and this matter is now taken care of.

  I bought vynil planks from Johnson & sons flooring on July 29,2023 by Mohawk manufacturer. The store didn’t have the materials in stock but had a pretty large size sample that I loved. I was told I need to place an order for the planks to be shipped to the store’s warehouse. I paid 1,693.71 for the order. I was waiting for the material shipment for a month, and after numerous calls I got a response that it arrived. I came to the warehouse to check the material, and the associate drew my attention saying that about a half of the planks had strange looking spots. I checked and was shocked by the bluish color spots that looked like there were blue color water spills, drips and leaks on many planks that looked like a damage. I picked some of the planks and brought them to the store manager ****** *******, who agreed that the planks I received look totally different from the sample they had in the store, and said it is their store policy to try to exchange the materials first, and if it doesn’t work and the manufacturer declines the claim, they will return my money. In two weeks I found out from the store manager the manufacturer declined the claim saying that the spots are variation of norm. But it looks totally different from the store sample, and the sample did not have any of these spots! The manager told me the store can not return me the money I paid due to their policy that materials are not recognized as damaged by the manufacturer. The store offered a partial refund with withholdings of 25% which is around $500 for restocking fees, but I do not want to pay $500 for the damaged floors that look totally different from the store sample. This is not what I wanted, and paid for. I attach the pictures of the store sample (has Mohawk label on it), and the actual planks I received. Please, help me receive my money back. Thank you!

  This has been an ongoing issue and one we have been working on behind the scenes to get it resolved.  
  

  Anytime there is a claim from a major manufacturer, it can take time, but we always want to make sure our customers are taken care of. I’m sorry if there was a lapse in communication or things weren’t conveyed correctly! We do have a 25% restock charge, but obviously that doesn’t apply to a situation like this as the product doesn’t accurately match the sample! 
  

  That being said, we have resolved the situation with the manufacturer and they have approved the claim. (Sometimes these things take time and a little back and forth before we get the resolution we’re looking for)

  She will receive a 100% refund! Someone should be in touch shortly, if they haven’t already been in touch with her.
