Not everyone is a professional decorator. More people buying new carpeting know little or nothing about the industry as those that do. You should never feel intimidated by asking questions or asking for help from your flooring store.You may know the square footage of the area you want carpeted but your carpeting professional can always double check, either by asking how you measured or taking a trip to your home to take the measurements for you. Once you know the exact area, you are ready to begin your journey.Everyone has a budget. When asked how much they want to spend there are many who say "as little as possible." Working with a real dollar figure can help your carpeting store show you the best choices for your needs. For example, are you carpeting a home for empty nesters or are children in the house? Do you have pets? Is there a person with disabilities who uses a wheelchair? All the answers can factor into the best carpet for you.How do you make a selection?Once your carpeting professional knows how much use your flooring will see in an average year and knows your total budget, you will be asked about your color choices. Perhaps you want to stay with neutral beige. Did you know there are over 200 light neutral colors and over 250 medium neutral colors in the collection? Without knowing the pros and cons and prices of each sample, making the ultimate decision can be daunting.Your carpeting professional will begin to present you with samples in the range you desire. You will learn which one has stain protection. There may be a particular carpet sample that has a very low pile that makes rolling a wheelchair easy. There will be high pile samples that look quite plush in your price range but will not last over time with children, pets or heavy traffic.You will be presented with carpet choices that meet your budget and your specific needs. It will make deciding among 200 or 250 choices much easier. You will have carpeting that fills all your needs and makes you proud to show it off to family and friends. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have and make your carpeting shopping a breeze.
