6. Observe color in 2 types of lighting. You might be surprised to see the color difference when the sunlight hits the carpet fiber vs. your overhead lights.
2. Test the carpet like you will use it. A lot of carpet shopping happens on show boards where you will find yourself rubbing your fingertips on different carpet boards to compare. But what do you really do with carpet? Vacuum it, walk on it, maybe lay on it. Literally do all of those actions on the showboard carpet to get to know it.
4. Buy based on warranty, but don't count on it. Search online and you will see that carpet claims rarely result in the homeowner getting replacement carpet. The warranty does however show you the confidence level the company has in that particular product, so it should be considered for that reason alone.
5. Know the two types of carpet. Most household carpet these days is nylon or polyester. Do a little bit of online research before your rep comes out and it will go a long way.
Great experience. Their consultation was excellent. No pressure to buy anything that you don't need. Very good follow-up on scheduling and installation. The installation went quicker than expected. We're very happy with our carpet and will definitely use Carolina In Home Flooring again.
My sales rep came out to my home and showed me the different types of carpet and gave me accurate quotes. The installers are sub contractors which is typical for the industry and they did a great job too. This is a company I would recommend without hesitation.
When my wife and I decided to replace the flooring in our kitchen and dining room, we read many reviews and contacted several different companies in the Triangle Area. Carolina In Home Flooring was one of them. We eventually decided on Mike and his team. We visited his showroom and Mike spent plenty of time with us showing us many different options of flooring. He then came to our house with several different selections and helped us make the best choice for our home. We set up an install date and his crew was prompt and on time to do the install. You can tell from the quality of the work that Mike only uses true professionals for his jobs. The finished product looked FANTASTIC! I could not be more pleased and Mike's price to do the work was several hundred dollars less than some of the local competition. A more than fair price and great looking floors. What more could you ask for. We highly recommend Carolina In Home Flooring!
NC In Home Flooring is a great company to work with and chances are good that you will become a satisfied customer if you choose to work with them. I got connected with them through Costco, and going through Costco is a great way to buy carpet.
3. Avoid the small swatch. When you are getting serious about a carpet and want to see the color, you might order a swatch. A 4"x4" size won't tell you much. Ask for the larger piece. You might have to pay a small fee for it but it will be worth it.
Tips for buying carpet (now that I have gone through it):
The installers and re-finishers from NC In Home Flooring were amazing. They were friendly, efficient and very professional. They took great care in installing the new floor and then re-finishing the existing floor and the new floor. The new floors are beautiful, a real work of art. We highly recommend this company!
1. Think about footprints. If you are the kind of person that squeezes the toothpaste tube from the bottom, you might also care about footprints in your carpet. Certain types of carpets hide footprints better than others and give a more uniform look. So if you care, ask specifically for it. All carpet however will still show movement to some degree.
Disappointed with the quality of workmanship, several swirls in the floor. Boards that were damaged by water not replaced. Good bit of stain on the white trim. Tried to get the owner to come out and inspect the issue but couldn't ever get him to come out.
I hope that these tips are helpful and hope that you have as great of an experience with NC In Home Flooring as I did.
