Review:
"Beware - sheds horribly! Warranty no good"
Carpet sheds so badly, it clogs the vacuum hose. From when new to a year
later. Then found out warranty did not apply because it was put in a
rental house. Would not have helped anyway since Shaw said shedding was
normal. I guess in the next year every fiber of the carpet will be
sucked up in the vacuum cleaner. You just get the run around between
Shaw and Lowes. Do not buy Shaw products!

Review:
"Caress II"
We had Caress carpet installed in early June 2013. The advertising that
it is very soft is absolutely correct. When I purchased the carpet I was
very clear with the salesperson that I do not like or want carpet that
shows every track. Caress shows every track. I have replaced carpets in
my homes over the years and have never purchased a carpet that shows
tracks and packs as bad as Caress. The response from Shaw was of course
it tracks, it is a luxury carpet. The salesperson told me that all
carpet tracks and basically told me to suck it up. The salesperson did
not tell me that the carpet requires a special vacuum. My top of the
line Kenmore does not go high enough to enable a back and forth vacuum
motion. I must lift the head, place and pull back. I was given a list of
vacuums recommended for the product. Basically none are available in
Canada. The one I found did the same as my Kenmore. It needed to be
lifted and pulled back for each stroke. Within a short period of time
the seams started to show. Still waiting for the company we purchased
from to come and fix the seaming problem. I am not very happy.

Review:
"Denied claim"
The warranty on Shaw product All Star Weekend III Carpet is
worthless. After 4 months in a brand new build this product looked like
it had been installed 5 years ago and been walked on even longer. We are
couple in our mid 50's and it was installed in our bedroom. Mr Greg
Bryson denied the claim saying it was normal wear. He was not at all
helpful in this matter I asked to talk to his supervisor and he said
claim is final complain to where you bought it and hung up. This is
going to be the last time I will use Shaw products. I don't think this
will do any good but I can't recommend any Shaw Products.

Review:
"After One year Looks worse that 25 year old carpet I took out"
My Shaw carpet is worn, discolored, matted, and coming unraveled after
one year, and Shaw says this is acceptable and not covered under their
warranty. I had it professionally cleaned after one year, and the
cleaner says he cannot believe the amount of wear for one year. The
owner of the company I bought the carpet from says it is
unacceptable,but he cannot get Shaw to do anything. The Shaw rep says it
is not good, but the Shaw claims administrator (Greg Bryson) who has not
seen the carpet and sits in an office at Shaw says it is within Shaw's
acceptable performance for one year old carpet. What a company - I am
going to push this one all the way, as I cannot believe their senior
management or owner (Warren Buffet) would find this acceptable if they
could see the carpet. Also, they say Dyson vacuum cleaners are not
suitable for their carpets, and that they are seeing problems with their
carpet out side bathrooms due to chemicals - not the issues here, but
talk about trying to find excuses.

"Shaw is horrible"
I bought Shaw carpet and within five months it was showing obvious signs
of wear. Shaw refused to replace the carpet even though it had a five
year warranty. I would sue them if I could afford it.

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.

Review:
"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.
