Sloane’s Buys Domestic, So You Get Your Carpet Quicker
Who hasn’t felt the effects of the pandemic on supply chains in recent months? From shortages in toilet paper and hand sanitizer to lumber and coins, the novel coronavirus has wreaked havoc on the procurement and distribution of both raw materials and finished goods around the world.
Luckily, Sloane’s Carpet Secret has a unique business model that has insulated us–and Denver carpet buyers–from many of these effects. For decades, our carpet experts have gone directly to U.S. mills to hand-select the finest carpets with “slight irregularities.” And we keep 1 million square feet of this carpet in stock and on hand, ready to quickly install for our customers.
Industry experts say the most vulnerable flooring companies are those that rely heavily or solely on Chinese manufacturers for materials. Chinese manufacturing has slowed considerably since the pandemic hit and is expected to remain depressed for months. On the other hand, Sloane’s only carries products made in the U.S. and sourced directly from domestic mills.
“With a big-box store, you’re basically ordering your carpet from a catalog and waiting for it to ship, which could take many weeks right now,” explains Josh Alban, owner of family-owned Sloane’s. “We have your high-quality carpet in stock and can get it installed by local professionals within weeks.”
“They’re all very satisfied with the carpet and the price. It’s what they like the most.”
These local professionals play a critical role in the Sloane’s experience. Sloane’s only works with master installers who have a minimum of 10 years experience installing high-quality, residential carpet. And Sloane’s backs it up with a lifetime installation warranty.
Chris Pantoia has been installing carpet for 21 years and is a fully bonded professional who only installs carpet. Like our other master installers, Pantoia picks up your carpet from the Sloane’s warehouse, delivers it to your location, removes and disposes of old carpet and pad, and installs your new carpet using only best practices like “power-stretching” to ensure product longevity.
Pantoia has worked with Sloane’s for the past three years and prefers us over other carpet retailers. “All of the salespeople were installers before,” he comments, adding that this knowledge ensures excellent communication and smoother installs. Plus, he prefers dealing with happy customers. “They’re all very satisfied with the carpet and the price. It’s what they like the most.”
During the pandemic, customers may like the quick turnaround even more. Purchase before November 2nd, and Sloane’s guarantees your carpet installation before Thanksgiving Day. (See store for conditions and details.) Take a look at the premium selections we have in stock today for up to 70% off.
