There’s more than one way to buy new flooring. Visit a flooring showroom, browse online or use a shop-at-home service — which is best?
Ultimately, it depends on you. That’s why at Carpet To Go Flooring, we’ve built a model that gives you the best of both worlds.
Our team helps homeowners across the Carolinas find the right flooring for their home every day. Come into one of our showrooms or let us bring the showroom to you. Either way, we make the process simple, honest and stress-free.
What Do Most Shop-at-Home Services Get Wrong?
If you’ve used a shop-at-home service in the past, you know how it works. A van pulls up, a sales rep opens the back doors and you pick what happens to be loaded in that day. If the samples don’t fit your style, budget or space, you’re out of luck.
It’s a model that trades selection for simplicity. Unfortunately for homeowners, this leads to a lot of dead ends.
How is the Carpet To Go Flooring Shop-at-Home Model Different?
At Carpet To Go Flooring, our shop-at-home service is different. Unlike our competitors, we have a full showroom behind us.
When you reach out to schedule a shop-at-home appointment, we don’t load up a van and hope for the best. The first step is communication. We learn about your style preferences, your lifestyle, your budget and your specific rooms so we know which products to bring with us.
We pull directly from our showroom inventory and don’t limit ourselves to what fits in a van. We can bring samples from any of our collections — carpet, hardwood, LVP, laminate, tile — we bring what suits your needs.
Is Shop-at-Home or Visiting a Showroom Better?
Basically, both options have their advantages and disadvantages.
Visiting a showroom lets you see everything. Walk the floor, see the products at scale, compare options side by side and see what materials look and feel like. Homeowners who are early in the process and still narrowing down their options benefit from coming to the showroom first.
Shop-at-home sits at the other end. It’s ideal for homeowners who have an idea of what they want and want to see samples in their space, under their lighting and against their existing walls and furniture. Seeing a floor sample in a showroom under fluorescent lighting isn’t the same as seeing it in your living room in the afternoon sun.
At Carpet To Go Flooring, we don’t pressure you into choosing one or the other. We purposely built our shop-at-home service around our showroom. Whether you come to us or we come to you, you get access to the same full selection, expert advice and honest pricing.
What Should You Expect When You Book a Shop-at-Home Appointment?
At Carpet To Go Flooring, we make the shop-at-home experience simple. We reach out to get a sense of your style, space and budget and choose the right products from our full showroom inventory. Then, we bring the samples to your doorstep. From there, we walk you through your options with honest, transparent pricing. Plus, with our Price Beat Guarantee, if you find a lower price on the same product within 30 days, we will beat it by 5%.
