Protect Yourself When Buying Carpeting

Buying carpeting for your home is a major decision and needs to be carefully chosen. It's not just a matter of finding what you want, you also need to be careful who you buy it from. Some carpeting retailers play games geared to charge you more than you should pay. Here are some tips to help you make sure you don't get ripped off.

  • Be sure to compare prices and get samples.
  • 1) Compare prices with at least 5 retailers. Ask to borrow a sample to take home to check the color. Take the samples into each room to verify that the colors will be right in every room. Be sure to get samples of various types of padding as well.
  • 2) Record the density, color, style, manufacturer, price.
  • 3) Before the carpeting has been unloaded from the delivery truck, take your carpet sample out to the truck and compare the color, yarn and DENSITY. Make sure you are getting exactly what you chose.
  • 4) Measure your home yourself. Companies are notorious for adding extra yardage you don't need.
  • 5) Make sure all details of exactly what you have selected are written specifically on the order form.
  • 7) Request an installation bond to ensure that they bring the right carpeting the first time.
  • 8) Make sure all valuables and breakable items are removed and put in a safe place BEFORE the carpeting is installed.
  • 9) After installation, check every room thoroughly. Do not be in any hurry, even though they are waiting to get your final signature and payment. If you find anything wrong, make them correct it right then. If you are completely satisfied, sign the paperwork, pay the balance and enjoy your new carpeting.
