"Two different grades"
Will not stand traffic. First carpet was replaced under warranty. Went with higher grade more expensive 2nd time with same result. If you are stupid enough to buy Shaw carpet after reading this you deserve what you get.

"Worn and matted"
Had this carpet installed in October 2013. It looks like it has been down for 13 years or longer. It looks worn, matted and very disgusting. Inspector came out and said it's fine. I am going to see an attorney regarding this matter. There are 3 adults living here, no pets and no children. By the looks of the carpet you would think that a dozen people live here.

"Showing wear"
It started showing wear within a few months. It is dirty and packed down and looks like a worn carpet.

"Terribly Unhappy"
Had Shaw carpet installed in December of 2013. It began to ripple and soon we had waves so large I could not vacuum over it. A Shaw "rep" came out and was mystified. He said an inspector would be contacting us. We're still waiting. If Shaw has any plan to lay the blame on us I will be contacting my lawyer and suing them in small claims. Everyone should do this - you will win. Take photos, keep meticulous records, and sue. It's time for people to stand up to this sort of blatant irresponsibility.

"Still a dark spot on the carpet"
We paid alot of money ($42 psy) for our carpet. We had Stainmaster in our last home and loved how durable it was with our family and pets. We told the sales person that we wanted something equivalent or better. She suggested this carpet. It is beautiful, it is soft, it looks plush, just like we wanted. The bug but... We have a little dog who sometimes is naughty. Within one week, sure enough, he was naughty on the new white carpet. We cleaned it according to the manufacturers direction, clear dish soap and warm water, and a dark stain developed. We steam cleaned, still a dark spot on the carpet. I am working with my retail location on a solution and can't post a final. We are still within our 60 day customer satisfaction timeframe.

"Carpet Warranty - A Joke"
Within a year our carpet has spots that are "lightening" up .. not stains. They appear and we have no explanation. Shaw sends an "independent rep" who claims pet urine (which means my dog must 'tinkle' all over the house in a 1/2 inch spot) and lack of owner cleaning! They said they "tested" the carpet and it was stain resistent so no factory fault. Now, a stain and a lightening/bleaching look are completely different. Shaw is useless and just puts the blame on the consumer. I'm following advice of others on this site and claiming through nys offices.

"Carpet warranty with Shaw carpets--what a joke."
In less than a year we had light spots showing up in different places in our new carpet. I contacted the retailer and they contacted Shaw. They hired a so-called independent inspector to examine and do a report. The report came back in Shaw's favor. The report stated that the loss of dye in the fibers was due to cleaning chemicals, but did not specifically identify a chemical. I found this to be an easy way to lay the blame on me, rather than consider a defect in the carpet. It is obvious after my conversation with Shaw, that they have no intent of considering any warranty. If I want to appeal the denial, I have to pay for another inspection. I have decided to file a complaint thru our state's consumer protection office. This only takes time, not your money.

"Cloverdale"
We got a shag from Lowe's It was very nice..but about months after installed we began to see a fine white dust on all our furniture and we were breathing it also. We want to Lowe's and they sent a sample in...came back the backing was defective..said it had been corrected so we bought more #2200.00, We are now having the same problem only worse. We are going to have it analyzed..Shaw said nothing is wrong but it is. It is worse this time.I Pulled a piece up and the backing it disintegrating. They said it is okay. Beware of shaws carpet.

Review:
"Warranty is useless"
We had a small room carpeted with a 1--% nylon, low-loop carpet from Shaw around the first of Dec., 2013. About 2 weeks ago, while bringing in a bag of groceries, I was unaware that a 2-liter bottle of ginger ale was leaking. It left about a 4 foot trail. My husband immediately cleaned it with a Woolite with Oxy cleaning product that states on its label that it is safe on nylon carpeting. We now have about a 4' long, 4" wide darker streak in the carpeting. Shaw refuses to come out and inspect it, clean it, or replace it unless we hire a cleaner first to try to remove the stain. I called a couple of cleaners, and they told me they might be able to lighten the stain, but couldn't guarantee it. I called Shaw again: they were adamant that it's our carpet, and we have to take care of it and hire someone to come out before they'll help us. Worthless... they don't stand behind their product. No wonder they got such a low rating. Junk.

Review:
"Horrible Carpet"
After purchasing Shaw carpet for our entire home in less than 3 years it is matted and roped. It looks far worse than the 15 year old carpet we had prior to the purchase. It is only my husband and I in the home so there is not high traffic. We contacted the seller and were told since we missed the first cleaning by 6 months the warranty was no good. The salesmen in the store were beyond rude and talked down to us as though we were brainless. I would never again purchase Shaw carpet or buy from Eckards Home Improvement store. Also, I would advise others to do the same.
