When Buying Carpeting

When buying carpeting, never buy from store on price alone. Does the store take as much enthusiasm after the sale as before? Quality service costs money. We learned a long time ago, people easily forget price but never forget quality. We shop with stores that have low employee turnover. If the employers are good to their employees, then they are going to be good to their customers.

Choosing Carpet Color
Take several samples home. Put the samples in the rooms where you're going to replace the carpet or install new. Remember, light plays a role in everything we see. In the rooms where you are, open the windows, see how the carpet looks. Close the blinds, now look at the carpet samples. Look at the lights in room. Are the bulbs yellow or white? Look at the light shades. White lights show brilliant colors. Yellow or shaded lights make the colors subdued or make carpet look dirty. Reset lighting gives you inconsistent colors. The areas where the carpet gets direct white light the colors are going to be pleasing to the eye. If you have a highly-traveled room, use darker carpets. If you want to make the room look larger, which generally is what light colors do, then let the walls, ceiling, and furniture color, help you achieve a larger room. We tell customers, the best color for carpet is brown. The color of soil. It doesn't show wear (traffic) patterns as fast. Our carpet is hunter green, and after 20 years we still love it. The normal life of carpet is generally 8 years.
