Note: I am a Shaw Floors retiree so am somewhat biased on this issue.

The Villages developer has a deal with Mohawk that they supply 100% of the carpet in The Villages. Shaw has tried for years to get into TV but there is a personal relationship that cannot be overcome.

What you typically see in homes here is what is called "builder beige". It will not last long and is designed to keep costs down for the builder.

We bought a spec house in The Villages that had the standard carpet and replaced it entirely with Shaw engineered hardwood before moving in.
