Evans Carpet Junkyard

How did we find them? We were at Lowe's looking at carpet samples and the salesman told us for the project we were attempting to do, it would be more feasible as well as economical for us to "go to the junkyard". Honestly the name was not at all appealing whatsoever. But I decided to go over and put my 'toe in the water' to check out the company and = wow = I bought a fabulous piece of Karastan and had it bound for a bedroom that very first trip. So don't let their name put you off. It's like opening a Russell Stover Chocolate box to find a Godiva assortment. Trust me. You will be thrilled with this discovery!

Here's the scoop: It is a family-owned and operated business since 1956. Located on Hague Ave, just south of Fisher Rd, there is a warehouse filled with a plethora of flooring choices! Not only can you order anything you like but you can walk around the building finding fabulous buys on buy-outs, over-runs and discontinued shags, berbers, solids, patterns, tone-on-tones, wool, nylon, blends. Perfect for residential and commercial settings. It is like a treasure hunt every time you go because the selection changes with sold items being removed and new items arriving all the time. Need your choice installed? Can do! Removal of that old worn carpet can be arranged as well.

Do you want to show off your hardwoods? They will bind your choice in whatever size or shape you need. (We wanted an L-shape for a foyer and hall combination and they did it beautifully.) Also on hand are a selection of larger oriental style rugs. I fell in love with one and we have placed that over the basement carpet where a new table and chairs will sit. The colors blend so perfectly together!

The Evans family has now re-carpeted every room but one in our home. And I have a feeling that will happen in the very near future. Take the time to go and have a peek. You'll be doing yourself a favor.
