WHY CHOOSE THE CARPET MAVEN . . .
The Carpet Maven treats you like a friend, not a number. You deal directly with the owners, Leon and Sherri Schwartz, who have owned their business on Main Street for over 24 years. They make sure you get the correct product for the correct area. Not every carpet is meant for every room nor is every floor for every room. They give you their expertise not only in carpeting, but also in flooring, refinishing floors and window treatments. The Mavens are decorators and are excellent with color. They will suggest shades and tones if you bring in your swatches; they will help you decorate your home or office.
Leon and Sherri believe in giving back to the community. That is why every member of Congregation Ohav Emeth who makes a purchase from the Carpet Maven, the Carpet Maven will donate 5% of the order to Congregation Ohav Emeth on behalf of the customer.
Your friends from the congregation have used the Carpet Maven and have been very happy with the service they received . . Just ask them! Due to the kind people who have purchased from the Carpet Maven, over $580.00 has been donated to OE thus far. Thank you!
