Every year, right after Halloween and before thanksgiving and Christmas there is always a hot rush by homeowners to buy new carpet and have it installed before their festivities.
Some homeowners wait too long and discover that they can’t get their new carpet installed in time for their upcoming holiday events.
Here's some smart advice
to help you make sure your new carpet is installed in time for the holidays! There are basically two ways to buy new carpet - The fast way and the slow way.
1.) Buying “in stock” carpet from local flooring retailer or carpet warehouse, or 2.)
Ordering from a manufacturer's carpet sample and wait for your new carpet
to arrive on a truck
from the mill, often located in Dalton Georgia.

The
downside is that the carpet selection is limited to stock on-hand; it can be
difficult to determine the grade or quality of the carpet in question; the
amount of carpet available may be limited; the carpet may be “second
grade” goods and there may not be any manufacturer’s warranty coverage.

can have it installed. It can take one to three weeks for your carpet to
arrive, perhaps longer if the weather is bad or unforeseen problems arise.
