Top Ten reasons to shop locally for your floor

1. Your local floor dealer understands the needs of their clientele. They are your neighbor and your friend.

2. They have complete product knowledge and can recommend the right product for your needs and traffic.

3. Local dealers really get to know their customers and ask the right questions to determine what price range you can afford and what can withstand pets and kids, for example.

4. Beware of "shop at home services". They are known for their high pressure sales tactics, and overcharging as well as poor quality products and inferior installation.

5. Always get a price from a local dealer... like your friendly Carpet Craft of Long Island. Compare. Contrast.

6. Shop with local dealers that are an established business. They serve communities. Not corporations.

7. Speedy service. Your local dealer has more control over your installation process because they don't subcontract work like chain stores.

8. Local stores depend on your repeat business. To a chain flooring store, you are a faceless number. To your local dealer, you are a friend.

9. At Carpet Craft we have thousands of satisfied customers for over 20 years. We know them all personally. Chain stores rotate their personnel.

10. Your local well-run flooring store can offer next day installation and has a large selection of wood, laminate, area rugs, carpet, and linoleum.

Carpet Craft is located at 4410 Austin Blvd. Island Park, NY 11558. Store hours m-S 9-6 Sunday 12-5.
