Review:
"Carpet Mills"
I want to add to the carpet reviews information that all homeowners need
to consider when purchasing carpet. Shaw is a manufacture of flooring.
And like all major brands like Mohawk, Beaulieu and others, they all have
a range of styles and quality. They all have value based products that
may not look so great within a few years. And they all have excellent
quality that wear well and provide better value by buying more upfront.
I read the reviews because I sell all brands. If the review is more
specific to the mill's collection or fiber brand, then it would be more
constructive. It misleads the customer to say never buy from Shaw or
Mohawk or etc.. Homeowners need to keep records should be easier now
that they can be e-mailed & saved. Record the steam cleanings, vacuum
well with a basic vacuum not an over powered model that may be too hard
on most styles. The quality & performance features to all carpet is the
style; such as plush verses loop(& many styles between) Type of Fiber
and its construction and face weight. The more fiber on that carpet the
better. There are other factors, but all carpet mills have the full
range of quality. Best advice is to find that flooring dealer with years
of experience that doesn't play the carpet sale games and relies on word
of mouth to compete with the big box.

"Pure unadulturated garbage"
I moved into my brand new mobile home July 2011. My carpet is
unfortunately Shaw. Since day one I noticed the carpet in certain area's
around baseboards fraying. We are not talking a little this is a lot. It
has snags in it and is showing wear pattern. I live here alone and am
very easy on things. This July I will have been here two years. For the
past year and 3/4's I have complained to Advantage Homes to no avail.
This was all under warranty. Well Advantage bailed leaving me holding
the bag and turned it over to Champion who is under the miss conception
this can be repaired. Shaw needs a class action suit brought against
them. I will one way or the other get this garbage replaced. My next
contact is Shaw and from there if they do not reimburse me for this mess
so I can go else where I will be talking to 7 on your side.

Review:
"Very matted and faded"
In less than one year carpet is very matted and faded/different color in
higher usage area. Had carpet cleaned after one year - cleaner said he
can't believe how worn the carpet was for one year old. Shaw been to see
it - even the rep says there is a problem, but factory denying it. Going
to take this one all the way as it now looks worse after one year in
terms of wear, matting and fade than the 25 year old carpet we took out.
Shaw warranties are worthless - I do not feel I am dealing with a
reputable company that stands behind its products.

Review:
"I got you Berber"
Had our whole house carpeted in this Shaw carpet in November 2012. I am
so very disappointed. It is packing terribly. Only my husband and I, who
are senior citizens, live in our house. No other traffic. We were gone
for the first 2 months after this carpet was installed. So less than 5
months after installation, it is not holding up well at all. I would not
recommend this carpet to anyone.

Review:
"Shaw Carpets Like Any Carpet is not Perfect"
While Shaw, like many carpet mills, have a wide range of products. What
often happens is the carpet salesperson does not do his job in a
professional manner. He usually takes the path of least resistance and
sells the consumer her favorite color or feel or look, or fits a low
budget, without regard to the carpet's performance. As a result, many
cheap carpets end up in living areas that should have had much higher
quality carpet for a chance to survive daily living.
Sometimes, due to a lack of knowledge, the salesperson never asks the customer what her needs are, but instead allows her to wander around the showroom looking at price tags.
Once salespeople start explaining the truth about carpet in general, the less likely carpets will be "oversold" and performance expectations of cheaper carpets will not be too great.
When the consumer has a claim these days, she had better have receipts from her professional carpet cleaner, and hope that her carpet was installed according to CR105. Otherwise the carpet mill is not even going to consider your claim.
If you don't Know Carpet, Know Your Carpet Dealer.

Review:
"The worst carpet."
I agree with almost all the posts. We bought a new home. We had upgraded
the carpet and had the most expense padding put in. Within 4 months the carpet looked horrible! We pulled it all up and replaced everything ourselves. Never again with Shaw.

Review:
"Carpet bubbling"
4 years go we noticed our carpet bubbling and crushing and the nap was
flat even after vacuuming. We spent a small fortune in upgrading pad
and this carpet is in our bedroom and sitting room. The installer came
back and pulled the carpet tight again. But we are back to square one
again. Shaw is a rip off. Never again.

"Hard to believe"
The string of 20+ 1-star reviews is amusing and really, impossible to
believe. I am about to buy Shaw carpet and they are clearly a quality
carpet maker.

"Worst carpet"
Worst carpet ever purchased. Called carpet store after six months. It
looked worse than the 10 year carpet I replaced. Would love to sue.

Review:
"Shaw carpet is the worst"
Shaw carpet is the worst I have ever seen. Carpet was 1 year old, was
running the vacuum over the carpeting when all of a sudden several
carpet threads unraveled and got caught in the vacuum.About 6 months
later the same thing happened.The carpet was supposed to be stain
resistant and snag proof,BULL Could not find receipt and called
installer to see if they had it,of course they couldn't. So I guess this
senior citizen on a fixed income is screwed.
