Ever wondered how to select the right carpet for your home?
We care about your project and want to provide effective service to help you select the best carpet for your home. Having the following information prepared before your appointment will set you up for success!
Room Size
Be prepared with the basic dimensions of the room, including the length and width. This allows us to provide a rough ballpark idea of cost when you visit the showroom. Don’t worry about being super detailed. One of our measuring specialists will do an on-site measure to ensure an accurate quote for carpet installation.
Traffic Level
Rooms with high traffic will require greater durability to withstand daily use over time. Rooms with lower traffic allow more freedom in carpet selection. Keep in mind that hallways, stairways, and doorways tend to be higher traffic areas. Removing shoes when entering your home can reduce wear and tear.
Performance Expectations
Do you want a carpet that is extremely durable and intended to last decades? Or just need something to get you through a few years before replacing it or selling the home? Your project manager will help you narrow down the type of carpet to fit your needs.
Budget
We want you to have an efficient, positive, and successful experience. When you are candid about your budget, your project manager can quickly show you price points that work with your budget range.
Fiber Preference
Let us know if you have fiber preferences, such as wool, nylon, or polyester. We will answer any questions you have about fiber performance so you can make an informed decision. We want you to understand the pros and cons of fibers so you can make an optimal choice for your overall needs.
Style Preference
There are myriad carpets in Portland at our retail showroom. Before trying to make a selection, get a general feel for your style preferences. We offer pattern, plush, texture, frieze, and looped styles. Visit our website to learn more about the carpet styles we offer: View Carpet Options.
Color Preference
Do you want light, medium, dark, solid color, or multi-colored? Knowing your carpet color preferences ahead of time will help you narrow down your options more quickly.
Lifestyle
Help us understand your lifestyle so we can match you with the best options to suit your needs. Do you have concerns about the impact of children and pets? Do you wear shoes in the house? Do you sit or lay on the floor and want a soft hand?
Décor
It is important to consider your overall color scheme, predominant furnishings, and adjacent flooring. Bring pictures, samples, or cushions for reference.
