Bethany was great to work with! She worked with me on what i was looking for and was able to find the exact carpet i looked at some other place and then saved me about 50% of what they were charging me for the same carpet! She worked with me on an install date and checked with me multiple times to make sure I was happy with it all! Bethany Rocks!!!
