Default New Carpeting installation

I went into Home Depot yesterday to pay for some carpet I have just
ordered and was presented with this piece of paper stating that unless
your carpeting is professionally cleaned once a year, the warrenty is
voided. Of course, they now have this "deal" that if you sign up for
their program for $300.00, everything will be just fine and dandy.

This is something new, as I wasn't presented with the paper when I had
done another order in Dec.

The warrenty comes from the manufacturer not Home Depot, right, so how
can they get away with this bs?

Most people will have found someone that does a good job, both in
pricing and service and stick with them.

Maybe talk to your friends, good service is good service.

Failing that, get quotes from several retailers/installers in your
area. Installers work for the retailers.

By talking with the salesmen and asking their opinions you'll get a
sense for who wants you to be happy and who wants you to pay as much
as you can afford.

If they really want you to be satisfied they will only hire good
installers.

I've had the best experience with people who have been in the business
for generations. Good personal customer service means more to them it
seems.

You shouldn't need to pay for quotes - they should want your
business.

Let them know you're getting several estimates, the good ones will
respect you and you will be less BS'd by the others.
