Why do I want help you make wise carpet choices? During my 30+ years in the carpet business, I became alarmed at the number of dishonest carpet dealers I encountered. Many carpet store owners and their commissioned salespeople would lie, cheat and deceive homeowners just to "close" the sale. They didn't seem to care if their customers made wise choices. So in 1998, I decided to do something to make a difference and began educating homeowners about how to choose new carpet wisely, how to save money and how to avoid getting ripped off.

  • I retired in 2006 after 30 years in the business and no longer sell or install any flooring products. 

I was fortunate to be apprenticed and trained by three master flooring craftsmen. I learned all about carpet, vinyl, ceramic tile and hardwoods, how to install them and how well these materials performed over time in various applications.
