"Buying new carpet
today is a daunting task! Homeowners need to be very careful to choose
wisely to avoid making costly mistakes and major headaches.
Over the past 18 years I have helped thousands of homeowners choose new carpet
wisely, save
hundreds and avoid common carpet scams. I can help
YOU make wise and informed carpet choices too!"
I've been in the carpet
business for over 30 years, but I don't sell carpet anymore. I'm a
carpet advisor, an author of
several books about Carpet & Flooring and a nationally recognized Consumer Rights
Advocate.
I am proud to say that my carpet buying articles,
advice and opinions have been published in major
newspapers, magazines, trade papers and newsletters worldwide. My passion is helping homeowners
like you learn how to choose the right carpet & padding that is capable of meeting your needs, goals, lifestyle
and budget -
To help save you hundreds by teaching you how to negotiate your
best carpet deal, To explain what must be done to ensure you get qualified
installation, And how to recognize and avoid common scams & rip-offs by sly carpet
salespeople and unscrupulous carpet retailers.
Let me start by saying
that there are plenty of reputable carpet retailers out there, but it's very
hard to know the difference between a "Reputable"
Carpet Dealer and a "Ruthless" Carpet Dealer until it's too
late! After 30 years in
this business I have learned how to recognize those wolves in sheep's
clothing. That's why I've created my own special list of recommended carpet dealers
all across America. See

I'm a homeowner just like you and I surely don't want to overpay, be ripped off or
be scammed on the products or services I need. One thing I know for sure...Scams are
everywhere, especially in the carpet and flooring business! It's sad, but
consumers must be on guard constantly, we must be well
informed and take the time to educate ourselves before we make any major purchase.
Over
the past ten years I've helped countless homeowners choose carpet wisely
and save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on their carpet purchases. I can help you save time and
money, avoid scams
and make wise carpet choices too. But you have to be willing to take the time to
get educated.

Most homeowners don't
know how to buy carpet today - even if they have purchased carpet many times in
the past. There used to be only about 8 basic grades of carpet available: apartment grade,
builder grade, three grades of residential and three commercial grades. Not
anymore. There are dozens of varying carpet grades and qualities available.
What is a
Carpet Grade?
How do I
know what grade to buy? Which grade is right for you? That's the $64 question.
Choose to low a grade and your carpet will wear out too fast. Choose too high
and you will spend way more than you need to.
You need to know how to choose the
carpet grade that is just right for your needs, goals, lifestyle and budget.
Sounds easy but it's not. Where to start? What Grade of Carpet Should I Select?
Homeowners often trust a carpet salesperson to steer them in the
right direction and suggest the right grade or style of carpet. This can be a very big mistake. Why? Because many carpet salespeople are not qualified
or don't take the time to ask you about your needs and goals to advise you
wisely.
Carpet is a major home improvement purchase, you need to follow the advice of a
seasoned professional who has your best interests in mind. You need to choose
the right carpet based on your needs and goals. I can help you sort it all out. That's why I wrote my
ebook and have created my website AbcCarpets.com
- A totally free Consumer Carpet Information Network.
Padding
& Installation
Consumers who select the wrong
grade of carpet stand to
lose hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But choosing he wrong carpet padding can ruin even
the best quality carpets. Carpet installation done improperly will void
the carpet warranty and can easily cut the life-span of any carpet
in half! How do you select the right pad? How to you make sure your carpet
is installed properly? You need the answers to these questions and many more.
Let's not forget about all the carpet scams.
In my Complete Carpet Buying Guide ebook, I reveal how you can avoid
carpet scams, choose the right pad, get qualified installation and lots more. It
will help you save a
ton of money as well as give you peace of mind knowing you have a carpet job
well done!

Important Note:
Is your Carpet
Installer Licensed, Bonded & Insured? Check
Now to see if you carpet or flooring installer is subject to your State
Licensing Regulations. You should always call to make sure who you hire is
properly licensed, bonded and insured according to the State and Local Laws
where you live. You
can also check to see if there have been any prior complaints filed against the
