Carpet install delayed - now what

[Account Closed]

I have a 2BR that is having new carpet and vinyl installed prior to the new tenant moving in on the 15th of May. Was just told by the carpet place that two installers quit on them and they are now down to one installer, and can longer install my carpet/vinyl in time for the new tenant to move in. They are looking for another installer but to be honest, I don't think they really care about my time frame.

This is not a large area with a lot of choices. I called every place I could think of and naturally they are all booked out a month away. Home Depot *might* be able to get carpet done in time, but not vinyl. 

I already tore out all the carpet and padding, its down to the sub floor. 

Needless to say, I'm freaking out. 

Anyone else ever been in this situation? What did you do?

Did you try looking for installers on Craigslist?  A lot of times they're the same installers who work for the local carpet companies and/or big box stores, just moonlighting on the side.
