Yeager Flooring Earns Angie’s List Super Service Award For Fifth Straight Year

January 4, 2012 by CarpetsPlus Color Tile

This award reflects Yeager Flooring’s consistently high level of customer service.

Yeager Flooring has been awarded the prestigious 2011 Angie’s List Super Service Award, an honor bestowed annually on approximately 5 percent of all the businesses rated on the nation’s leading provider of consumer reviews on local service and health providers.

“I’m so proud of the excellent work our entire crew has been doing,” said Jim Yeager, president of Yeager Flooring. “This makes it five years in a row and really shows how doing your best–day-in and day-out–is the path to achieving great things.”

“Only a fraction of the businesses rated on Angie’s List can claim the sterling service record of being a Super Service Award winner because we set a high bar,” said Angie’s List Founder Angie Hicks. “The fact that Yeager & Co can claim Super Service Award status speaks volumes about its dedication to consumers.”

Angie’s List Super Service Award winners have met strict eligibility requirements including earning a minimum number of reports, an exemplary rating from their clients and abiding by Angie’s List operational guidelines.

Buying Carpet Off the Internet Can Be a Nightmare-In-Waiting

October 6, 2011 by CarpetsPlus Color Tile

Shoppers buy just about everything from cars to clothes on the internet. You may ask, how does one buy shoes or clothes without first trying them on? Some things don’t seem logical to buy without seeing, touching or trying it on first.

Often, people will visit a brick and mortar store, find what looks good and fits right, then try to find the same item online at a discount. Some do the same with carpet. They visit a store to find what they like, then shop the internet for a better deal. The problem is, the installation will probably be your big headache if you buy from an internet retailer.

Three reasons why this is true:

1. The amount of carpet needed must be determined properly. Measuring carpet yourself isn’t as easy as you might think. You can’t just mesure length and width and you’re done. Seaming is required the majority of the time. Where the seams fall and their visibility can present problems.

2. The carpet must be shipped to someone who not only can receive it, but also can inspect it for manufacturing defects. If there is a problem, there’s no retailer to stand behind what is sold. You are, in essence, the contractor who must handle the many aspects of the job, from measuring to determining the correct cushion to inspection and installation. How will you get the carpet off the truck? Rolls of carpet can weigh over 500 pounds. Do you own a forklift?

3. Do you have access to a mill rep if there is a problem with the carpet? Retailers do. Many times the measuring and installing is done by their own employees. They know which direction to lay the carpet, how to seam it and can stand behind their work. What happens when the installer takes your money and runs when there’s a problem?

If you do purchase carpet from the internet, you are responsible for anything and everything. For peace of mind, why not purchase from the experts at your local CarpetsPlus Color Tile? They stand behind their work and do everything possible to make you happy.

There is a Difference Between “Value” and “Cheap” Flooring

June 2, 2011 by CarpetsPlus Color Tile

by David Ellis

Chad Garner, owner of Crystal Carpets in Wilmington, NC

Chad Garner, owner of Crystal CarpetsPlus Color Tile® in Wilmington, NC, took a few minutes with us to explain the difference between “value” and “cheap” when it comes to flooring. At CarpetsPlus Color Tile member stores, many value collections are available in carpet and hard surface flooring including the popular line of Design Values carpet, hardwood and laminate.

David Ellis: Chad, what’s the difference between “value” and “cheap” flooring?

Chad Garner: Many people buy cheap flooring, when what they really want is the best value flooring for the money. We see it often that people will buy cheap flooring and really end up paying more in the long run. Most people would rather get a great value on their flooring, rather than the cheapest deal.

DE: How do you and your salespeople help your customers see that you know the difference between “value” and “cheap”?

CG: The problem is that most flooring salespeople only hear a customer saying they don’t want to spend very much on their flooring. What most customers are really trying to portray is that they want someone they can trust to find them the best flooring value available. That is why we feel it is so very important to really listen to our customers. Listening and putting yourself in the customers’ position is what makes the difference. A customer may very well be better off with the cheapest carpet for their rental unit they need flooring for. Crystal Carpets tries to have all the options available. It is our job to add value to our customers flooring purchase. Many times it will cost the same to install a cheap floor as it is to install a nicer quality floor. You can sometimes upgrade a product and get twice the life from the upgrade. At Crystal Carpets we love to find outstanding flooring values and solutions to create a delighted life long customer.

If you live near Wilmington, give Chad and his team a call at 910-452-4143, or visit their showroom at 5746 Oleander Drive in Wilmington. Also, check out their website for more information – crystalcarpet.net.

Study Says Carpet No Problem for Children with Asthma

April 21, 2011 by CarpetsPlus Color Tile

If you have a child with asthma and you have carpet in your home, your child is not being adversely affected according to this study: “Results of a Home-Based Environmental Intervention among Urban Children with Asthma,” published by The New England Journal of Medicine.

A study of inner city children with asthma confirms that clean, dry carpet is a healthy flooring choice for everyone, including children and adults with asthma and allergies. The study followed nearly 1,000 children from seven major U.S. cities over the course of a year.

The study showed that removing carpet from the bedrooms of asthmatic children made no difference to improve their symptoms. However, elimination of tobacco smoke and improved cleaning in general did make a difference like cleaning with a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum cleaner. No difference was found in the levels of allergens measured in carpeted homes compared to homes with hard surface floors.

At the outset of the study, researchers sought to remove carpet from the children’s bedrooms, but factors such as rental agreements kept them from it. Family members were still instructed to remove the carpet from their children’s bedrooms wherever possible.

Contrary to researchers’ expectations, children with carpet in their bedrooms improved as much and did just as well as children who had hard surface floors.

The study was sponsored in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health.
