Blodgett's Abbey Carpet & Flooring Comparative Summary

Carpet companies are always looking for ways to discern themselves from their competition, and those that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award are already several steps ahead. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, Blodgett’s Abbey Carpet & Flooring holds another impressive distinction: it’s Lafayette’s oldest continuously-operated, family-owned business. “We’ve been serving people in this area since 1946,” explains president and third-generation proprietor Larry Blodgett. “Our customers choose us because of our longevity, reputation, high-quality service and competitive pricing.”

Because Blodgett’s Abbey Carpet & Flooring has such a longstanding reputation within its community, it’s able to attract new clients that feel more comfortable dealing with an established business than newer, less experienced companies. “In hard economic times, people are hesitant to work with a company that might not be around the following year,” says Mr. Blodgett. “Our customers come here year after year and see the same faces. They can even request the same installers, sometimes decades after we did the original work. Our permanence really puts them at ease.”

Another characteristic that distinguishes Blodgett’s Abbey Carpet & Flooring is its experienced sales staff, some of whom have been in the industry for 25 to 30 years. “Our salespeople are well-versed in all the products we carry and can help people choose the right products to fit their budgets and lifestyles,” says Mr. Blodgett. The company’s Lafayette showroom is organized in departments that are stocked with the latest styles, color and brands of flooring products, including hardwood, tile, laminate, ceramic, stone, sheet vinyl and more. Customers can even take home flooring samples to ensure they make the right choices for their particular home environments.
