Does anyone know of a good carpet installer in the Albert Lea area? All I'm finding in a search is Home Depot

Had home depot here and when they stretched the carpet they hit the wall and knocked off a corner chunk of newly hung sheetrock. 
They are supposed to be fixing it next week. We'll see how that turns out. Otherwise, the job was okay.

I had Home Depot do the carpet in my home. When the crew showed up it was an older Hispanic male, and three young Hispanics. The older man told them what to do and they went to work. They worked fast and did a great job. I offered them a few drinks, which they turned down. They came to work.
The best part was they came in a POS van, which had a bumper sticker that said “leftover Salmon” on it. I did a Google search on Leftover Salmon, turned out to be a great band.

That is an assumption on your part.

Sorry guys but Dennis Lacore did a terrible job on my carpet a few years back. He used the double-sided tape to tape down the carpet on my wood floor and there were big ripples in the carpet. (usually carpets get stretched so this doesn't happen, but he thought it would be best to use this tape)
Before he left I told him those ripples didn't look right, these were very noticeable ripples, and he said that they would lay down eventually. I waited a couple of weeks and called him again and said that the carpet still had the ripples in it, he said he could come out and fix it but I would have to pay him for his time. What?!!!  Needless to say, he wasn't back at my house.
I know Floorcrafters used to have a list of carpet installers, maybe you could get a couple of names from them.
I've used Home Depot before also, when they had the free installation with purchase promo going on, and at that time they contracted with a Rochester company and did a good job.
Good luck in your search, I know they are hard to find.
