Runyon's Furniture Floor Covering & Mattresses

BUYER BEWARE RUNYON’S FLOORING AND FURNITURE in MONROE, MI. I am proud to say that I grew up in Monroe County and I am a business owner in the community. I always urge people to work with small businesses especially when they are local. I have contemplated posting this for a long time, but if sharing helps prevent even 1 person from going through what I did then this post is worth it. It was a truly traumatizing and emotionally draining experience that we went through with Runyon’s. This is what you should keep in mind if you choose to do business with them. 1. They were not approved vendors/installers of the product that they had on display. (Runyon’s purchased it from another store when we specifically asked if they were approved). 2. They did not follow the manufacture’s specifications or complete proper job site preparation. (Resulting in damaged flooring.) 3. They ignored our calls to them for help. (We had an inspection done to figure out the cause of damage). 4. They refused to honor their warranty. (Even after an NWFA inspection indicated they were at fault). 5. We tried to file an insurance claim on their business insurance. They did not carry the correct coverage for “their work.” (I hope they corrected this). 6. The engineer report from the insurance company also indicated they were at fault. The claim was denied for lack of coverage. 7. Estimates to tear it out and fix the damage was twice as much as we initially paid. 8. They ignored us again, so we filed a credit card dispute to get our money back. 9. They called us names, screamed at us, told us to “shut up.” 10. They called our work and personal phones numerous times. (Once the credit card took the money back from them for failure to resolve the damages). 11. Their threat/solution for us was to “come to rip the floor out and put it into their rental homes” but not to repair it or replace it. (Expecting to still be paid for this work). 12. You may have to take them to court. (Runyon’s may threaten that this is your only option). 13. They will leave you with floors that look like the photos attached…. This is what we went through with them, in our new home, when I was pregnant. They didn’t care about us until the money was taken back from them for failure to correct the issue. Once they did not have the money for their work, they took a very aggressive approach. I have photos, reports, and recordings to prove all the above statements, but I do not feel it is necessary to post currently. Some people may have had a good experience with them. Certain members of their staff are helpful/nice. The OWNERS were the people taking this approach. Overall, thinking about how they treated us and potentially other people in the future makes me sick. Lost in small claims and are passed allowed time for paying debt.

When I built my house years ago I ordered all of my flooring as well as window treatments & new furniture from Kelly at Runyons -- she was great to work with - extremely professional and a hard worker. Everything worked out great! I have referred many people to them and I would hire them again. I am currently working with them to install new carpeting in our master bedroom.
