Biggest Mistakes When Buying Carpet

Buying carpet is not something most people do often; in fact, some may only shop for carpet a few times in a lifetime. Because of this, it is easy for consumers to be confused by the carpet buying process, and end up with a carpet that will not suit their needs.

When you are shopping for carpet, be sure to avoid these common mistakes:

1. Getting Hung up on Weight

2. Skimping on Underpad

3. Assuming Carpets Are the Same, Because They Look the Same

4. Calculating Your Square Footage (Incorrectly)

5. Getting Taken In by a "Promotion"

6. Having Your Carpet "Unprofessionally" Installed

7. Choosing the Wrong Carpet for Your Lifestyle
