The Brand Behind Costco's Carpet (And If Installation Is Included)

Furniture, clothing, tires, top-of-the-line seafood, vacations, and arguably the best hot dogs around — Costco is truly a one-stop shop. Did you know it also offers a carpet service? Costco has partnered with Georgia-based Shaw Floors, which specializes in, as its name implies, all things flooring from carpet to hardwood to vinyl. The service typically includes both carpet and installation, though not all locations offer installation.

Shaw Floors is part of the Shaw Industries Group, which is one of the largest carpeting manufacturers in the world and includes brands like Anderson Tuftex and Southwest Greens, among others. Shaw has a long and notable history, during which it established a strong reputation in the carpet industry. Shaw got its start in 1946 as a family business known as the Star Dye Company, which specialized in dyeing rugs, spreads, and robes. It eventually became Star Finishing and was acquired by the Philadelphia Carpet Company in 1967. In 1971, the company went public as Shaw Industries. Today, its products are sold to retailers, distributors, and commercial users worldwide, generating more than $6 billion in annual sales.

If you're interested in using your Costco membership to have Shaw Floors carpet installed, you can start by scheduling a free consultation, where you will be connected with a local authorized Shaw dealer from your area. They will come to your home with a variety of different carpet samples to help you decide which style and color is best for you and your budget. Using a professional service helps you avoid common carpet-buying mistakes. Since not all locations include installation, Costco may recommend a dealer, and those installation costs may vary.

The cost to install carpet is something every homeowner should consider before purchasing. One key benefit of buying carpet and installation through Costco's partnership is that Costco members receive a 10% Costco Cash Card on qualifying Shaw Floors purchases, while executive members earn a 2% reward on annual qualifying purchases. The Shaw-Costco partnership offers more than 70 styles of carpet in a variety of colors and materials.
