The Low Down on Discount Carpet Remnants

Finding the best price on discount carpet remnants can be a grueling task. The best place to start looking, if you don’t want to pay for shipping, is your local carpet dealers. More often than not, you can pick up the yellow pages, just start calling around to your local carpet stores and dealers, and simply ask them if they have any discounted carpet remnants laying around. Be ready and willing to haggle a price too. More often than not, they just simply want to get rid of it and make more space for new carpet.

Depending on the quality of carpet you’re looking for, many large carpet retailers will also have remnants for sell. We’ve seen commercial builders also purchase carpet bulk for large projects and have remnants left over. A few blocks from one of the offices I was consulting at, there was a large complex of studio lofts being built. I noticed one day they were carpeting and had some odds and ends laying around by their carpet van. I simply went up and asked them what they wanted for it, and they told me I could have it if I hauled it away. It was pretty nice Berber carpet and we used it to carpet our entire basement. Granted we had a few seams but we got it fastened good with carpet glue and haven’t had any problems yet. Our basement is sort of an odd “L” shape anyway so the different sizes worked great for carpeting the entire thing.

Another great idea is to have the discounted carpet remnants bound around the edges and use them for throw rugs and large carpets. Think about the money you can save on a steam carpet cleaner by putting these carpet remnants in high traffic areas. When they get too dirty, just throw them away. We’ve done this several times with the stuff we had left over from the basement job and several others. It works well for the garage, which is where we use remnants to make it a little warmer in there and to soak up any leaks our cars may be dropping.

The thing is, most discount carpet stores, have styles and inventory that they just cannot seem to get rid of. This is why it is a great idea to just get a phone book and start calling around. Or, better yet, drive up with a tuck to these stores and ask if they have any discounted carpet they would simply like taken off their hands. Many times they may just let you take it off their hands for free. Hey, it is worth a shot a least!

No matter what type of carpet your looking for, finding remnants at discounted prices can be done and end up saving you a lot of money. It just takes a little patience and time. If you really are serious about remodeling or carpeting a room in the future, it doesn’t hurt to start looking for great deals now. You never know what kind of carpet deals you’re going to find. And the best deals, are always the ones you find when you are not in desperate need of an immediate solution.

It may be possible to find discount carpet remnants online, and so we’ve found a few places which may be able to help you out. Here are a list of online retailers that actually claim to have discount remnants on sale. More often these carpet’s are necesarily remnants but just product they have on clearance. So if you continue shopping around online on your own, just look for a sites “clearance” or “closeout” section. Again, making certain to check pricing details specificually on shipping. Check back often as this list will certainly change as some merchants have stopped selling in just the time we’ve been looking into this.
