Pam, your cousin's store is part of a vanishing breed. In this day and
age of big box retailers, it's harder and harder to find retail store
employees who have substantial knowledge about the product they sell.
And I say this as someone who worked in the carpet industry for a few
years. It's even more difficult to find a retailer who has a familiarity
with specialty products like wall carpeting. So it's quite comforting to
know that there are still a few stores which take the product and the
customer seriously.

Marshall,

 

Not sure what you mean by 'garden variety residential floor covering
retailer' but in any case, that is not a fair representation of the biz!

 

But for a place or two I see ads for on TV, no floor covering retailer
does only residential work.

 

I recommended my cousin to this list -own's a family flooring business.
My uncle established this business over 40 years ago. My cousin has
never worked any place else. She works tirelessly to be top notch in the
business. She travels all over the country to attend conferences and
workshops.

 

She also is known for going the extra mile to assist people who have
addition/different needs. If she happens not to know something offhand -
she'll not give incorrect information but will do further research.

 

This business has recommended proper materials and installed flooring in
many prestigious buildings - including museums. Their showroom is A1,
is spotless -cleaner and neater than most museum's I've seen (I kid you
not). And they do have a garden on the property hehe.

 

Pam
