5 Benefits Of Buying Carpets Direct

 

 

Have you ever been to the big home improvement chain stores on a weekend? 

It’s almost more crowded than Disney World. I make it my weekend ritual to always do at least one thing to my home so I am very familiar with this type of environment. I don’t know about you but sometimes when I need to know about a product that I’m interested in, I get the feeling that the salesperson has no knowledge about the item. This, my friends is the most frustrating thing in the world! What a hassle!

Today we are discussing the benefits that come with buying your carpet direct. You will be pleasantly surprised at how different the experience that you have when buying direct, as opposed to expensive chain stores.

 

Here is my list of 5 great reasons that I like to buy carpet direct:

  • First and foremost, when you buy direct you get someone who knows what they are talking about. Nothing feels better than asking a question and knowing that you have gotten the right information. More than often when you are purchasing products from the area that they are manufactured, the sales people have typically grown up in the industry, thus they were brought up learning about the product inherently. As a consumer, this is exactly what I want from a sales person.
  • Second, you are supporting a community. In these rough economic times, communities that have spent years thriving and building on certain industries and have lost so much business to cheaper overseas manufacturing, that plants are shutting down. This, in turn affects entire communities. After this goes on long enough, jobs are lost, companies shut down, families lose homes, and the community in a whole becomes stagnant. With no income coming in, communities can not grow. So when you shop directly from the source, you are keeping communities alive.
  • Third, pride in what is done. When you shop direct, you become part of a close knit group of people, often times when buy carpet direct you are getting to know families. As most of the direct businesses are smaller family owned businesses. When you own a family business you take pride in your service and you value your customers. Doesn’t it feel great when you stop by your local market on the way home, and the cashier knows you by your first name, it’s the same thing with a direct store.
  • Fourth reason is the fun part, Prices! You save a lot of money with the pricing that you get at direct stores as opposed to chain stores. When you break it down, you are way better off because there is no tacked on fees that a lot of the chain stores add. In fact, most of the time companies that are direct get special pricing only available to them, and this provides major saving for people like us.
  • And finally the fifth entry, a good deed done. When you purchase from a direct company you are contributing to the community, its workers, and the families that the business supports. Because of you, these companies will have the potential to do great things for their communities as well. What is that movie, oh yeah, Pay It Forward.

We hope that these benefits have spoken to you and help you make the jump to buy carpet direct, by supporting our community, our country, and the many people that benefit from your most appreciated patronage.

Shaw Residential Carpet FAQs

What makes Shaw residential carpet a good choice for my home?

Shaw is widely regarded as a high-quality carpet manufacturer. Their residential carpets offer a broad selection of styles, textures, and colors, from cozy plush carpets to durable loop and twist styles, which makes it easier to match the carpet to your home’s needs and decor. Additionally, many Shaw carpets include features such as stain-resistance, wear resistance, and pet- or family-friendly options, which make them suitable for everyday living spaces.

How do I maintain and clean Shaw carpet to keep it looking good?

Regular maintenance, like vacuuming and keeping dirt out with entry mats, helps prevent soil and grit from embedding in carpet fibers, which prolongs life and appearance. For spills and stains, act quickly and follow proper stain-removal guidelines. Many Shaw products are engineered to resist stains, but timely care will help maintain that benefit over time. Always review the specific care instructions included in your warranty, as different carpet collections may have slightly different care requirements.

Are there carpet styles that are better for households with pets or children?

Yes. If you have pets, kids, or high foot traffic, choose carpets with stain-resistant fibers, tightly woven construction, and darker or multicolor patterns that are better at hiding wear, dirt, or stains. Certain Shaw collections are particularly well-suited for these conditions. You may want to ask for our recommendations based on your household lifestyle (e.g. pets, kids, frequent guests, etc.).

How long should I expect my carpet to last? When should I consider replacing it?

With proper installation, good padding, and routine maintenance, high-quality residential carpet from Shaw can last many years, often a decade or more depending on use, before deterioration signs of use really begin to show. However, heavy daily traffic, pets, frequent spills, or neglecting cleaning may cause wear, matting, or color fading sooner. It’s wise to inspect carpets periodically: once you notice thinning, persistent stains, or uneven wear, it may be time to replace or re-carpet.
