(more…)The Difference Between a 1-Year and Lifetime Warranty
Today we want to talk about what makes our industry-exclusive Lifetime Installation Warranty so valuable to our customers. Each day we receive calls into our call center asking about wrinkled carpet that another company installed three years ago. The customer will ask if we can either fix or stretch the problem since their original warranty was up.
Unfortunately for that customer, we don’t know the quality of the goods that were installed. Along with their previous installation, we don’t know the tactics that their installers have used. In most cases, we are unable to help that customer. However, we can send out someone that can help prevent that headache from ever happening again.
Warranties from other flooring companies come in all shapes and sizes. Many will give you a 30-day or 90-day warranty on the labor of their installation. The big-box stores like the orange and blue ones you see on TV each day will offer a 1-Year Warranty on the labor and installation. What that means for the customer is if the installer didn’t stretch the carpet properly or created a sloppy seam, it’s covered for a year. What they won’t cover is your product after it’s been installed for a year.
