What is SmartStrand Carpeting?
Carpeting technology is changing, and SmartStrand carpeting from Mohawk Flooring is playing a huge role. Their Forever Clean carpets combine beauty, comfort and durability in a way that was not possible before.
The new technology starts with the protected fibers. Unlike other carpeting, SmartStrand fiber protection is permanent. That's because the technology is built right into the core of the fiber instead of being coated on the top only. This gives SmartStrand 100% lifetime protection that will never wash or wear off.
On top of the core fiber, Nanoloc technology keeps foreign substances from settling into the carpet. A liquid spill might trigger a blood-curdling scream, but a sigh of relief may follow when the liquid sits on top of the carpet instead of absorbing into it. Cleaning up spills has never been easier, and your vacuum will fight a much easier battle with accumulated dirt and dust.
Sounds like a bunch of artificial and unnatural substances that we would not want around, right? Wrong. SmartStrand carpet is made with annually renewable plant-based materials, keeping its environmental impact at a minimum. And did we mention how wonderfully soft and luxurious SmartStrand carpet feels between your toes?
It's time to stop worrying so much about your new carpeting? If you have a house full of children or pets, SmartStrand Forever Clean carpet could be the perfect flooring.
Dear Handy Andy,
Wanted to let you know how truly wonderful the tile and wood jobs done in our home turned out. Your prices were much lower than other stores we went to. When you gave us a free in-home estimate this saved another $50 on my budget. With your advice the end result was just awesome.
My husband has been weekend remodeling our home for NINE YEARS now and your crew came in on just 5 days and got it all done to our satisfaction. The workers cleaned up after themselves, were very courteous and hauled out the debris when they left.
WE ARE DONE REMODELING FINALLY! THANKS HANDY ANDY.

This involves attracting you to the store by offering Whole House carpet installation for one low price; usually less than one hundred dollars. Don't be taken in, as any logic will let you properly conclude that the dealer is making up the labor cost loss by over pricing the cost of the carpet and pad. There is no free lunch; talented craftsmen do not work for free or minimum wage. Also, when you read the fine print of these programs, there are heavy extra charges.
This type of advertising is more often seen in the big box stores. For example, a company like Home Depot makes the customer purchase their "special pad" at up to $8/sq yd. This eight dollars includes installation of the pad also. Maybe this is how they justify charging so much their pad. Also, in the "disclosure statement", the customer is responsible for removing the doors. This service is included in most carpet installs by the majority of carpet dealers. This means that the "$97 Install" really is JUST FOR THE CARPET. Furthermore, there is a heavy charge for moving furniture, pull up and disposal of old carpet and pad, and in some cases, even more extras for metals and thresholds. Combine this with the fact that the company must hire installers from companies that pay their installers the lowest wages, and you can see that the company may even be making money on their labor.
THE PRIVATE LABEL SCAM:
A marketing ploy to prevent the consumer from shopping using the old apples-to-apples comparison technique. For example, when buying a mattress, you can find the exact same mattress under 10 different item names depending on where you shop. In the case of carpet, the most prevalent use of private labels is found in the the big box retailers, and large buying group stores such as the Carpet One Chain of carpet stores. In this case, Carpet One uses the "Bigelow" label as if "Bigelow" made the carpet, when in fact, Carpet One bought the name "Bigelow" from Mohawk industries, and can use the "Bigelow" label on any carpet they choose. Yes, "Bigelow" is an old time mill, but they don't make residential carpet any more. Furthermore, Burlington Industries sold the "Lees" name to Carpet One, and thus , like the "Bigelow" name, we see carpets with the "Lees" name on them that are really made by any mill Carpet One selects. Private labelng is now so prolific, that most larger carpet dealers use some sort of private labeling to keep true comparison shopping to a minimum.
This ploy is used by many of the giant retailers who want you to think their price is the lowest. The gimmick is to say that if you can find the same carpet elsewhere at a lower price, "we'll meet or beat that price by 5%." Of course you can't find the SAME carpet elsewhere because the giant retailer has it private labeled. Therefore, the only place you will find the same named carpet is at a branch or division of the same chain. Someday retailers are going to learn that consumers are not stupid.
