Factory Direct Carpets has Provided Lifetime Warranties on Installation since 1946
At Factory Direct Carpets it is extremely rare for one of our installers to make a mistake during installation. Our installers have been with us from as few as seven years to as long as 18 years. We hire installers without any experience and train them to become journeymen over a period of years. This allows us to make sure they do the job right from the first day and eliminates the need to have “experienced” installers un-learn bad habits.
Nevertheless, it really should not matter whether you discover a problem with installation now or ten years from now. If the job wasn’t done right the first time, we will come out and fix it no matter when you call.
