Considering the Lifespan of Carpet
Like every good thing in life, carpet doesn’t last forever.
The longevity of your carpet depends on the quality of the product and how well you take care of it.
Before you buy
Before and After: $5,000 Contest Winner!
Yesterday, we had the privilege to install new carpet for Darcy in Trenton, Michigan. Darcy is our recent $5,000 dollar contest winner and she allowed us to take photos of her project, so we decided to show it to you all!Darcy’s home was built in the late 60s or early 70s and was initially covered in a cream white carpet. Darcy came across the carpet “Spellbound” by Shaw Floors during a showroom visitation and immediately knew that was the carpet for her.
Advantages of Shop-at-Home Carpet Services

What is Carpet Density?
A carpet density rating is one of the factors that determine how well your carpeting will perform.

A hardwood tree, known as an angiosperm, produces seeds that have a covering. Think of an apple or an acorn for a good example.
Softwood trees, known as a gymnosperm, produce seeds without a covering (naked seeds) that fall straight to the ground. The wind carries them so the seeds are spread throughout a wide area. Pine trees fit in this category. (more…)
