Got a call back from Home Depot corporate office so this is the route I will pursue at this moment.Soccerdad1995 wrote:You may be in decent shape since Home Depot is involved.

- If the plumbing company is the one who is also responsible for the inspection. Dispute the charge with your CC company immediate.
- Call the Home Depot corporate office.
- Tweet Home Depot and ask "what is it going to take to get this work completed? #wastedvacationdays"
- When the call to schedule the inspection let me know you are only available after work hours, and they will now need to accommodate you.
The flooring ended up looking completely different than the sample (apparently the vendor sent them the wrong sample piece). This was not really Home Depot's fault, but they made it right after I got the district manager involved. I had 6 department managers at my house cleaning up the floors (sloppy/messy install as well), and they gave me a check for 50% of the total flooring cost (including installation). I am assuming (and hoping) that Home Depot recovered the money from the flooring vendor and installer, but the bottom line is that they made it right for me. Net-net, that company tends to care about their reputation if you make a big enough noise.

Small claims court
I had a plumbing company schedule me for an inspection twice both times they failed to do it. So now i have lost 2 vacation days they offered me a $50 home depot gift card and to reschedule, I declined until i have been compensated for my lost days. So can I sue in small claims for lost wages, because now my plans for an overseas vacation has just been shortened or will be unpaid.
