Common Carpet Buying Mistakes
© Alan J. Fletcher
Consumers are frequently misinformed, over-charged or sold the wrong flooring materials. There are too many flooring salespeople that will tell you just about anything in order to convince you to buy from them. Because most are not paid by the hour, they are commissioned salespeople. For them, no sale means no pay, and hunger can easily cause people to sacrifice integrity. This is why you should never buy carpet based solely on the advice of a carpet salesperson. You need the advice of someone who has your best interests in mind. That would be me.
Carpet is complicated and you need to know exactly what you are buying. You need to know why one carpet will last for twenty years yet another that looks the same will wear out in five. Knowledge is power. That is how you protect yourself from buying the wrong materials. Too many people have absolutely no knowledge about the carpet or padding they have purchased. They usually know how exactly much they spent on it and the name of the color, but they don’t have a clue what fiber the carpet is made of or what density padding was selected to have installed underneath it. Why? They have trusted the salesperson to make all the decisions for them. Sometimes that works and everything turns out all right, but more often it is a very costly mistake.

"Unless the salesperson asks you a lot of questions about your flooring needs in an honest attempt to help you select the right product to serve your needs, you can assume that they are interested in nothing more than their next paycheck. In that case they will likely applaud any selection you might make regardless of it being a wise selection or not."
