CHANGES WITH BARRETT (May 2008)

Direct Access and Barrett Carpet Mills will go their separate ways (effective May 2008). Like retail in general, main street commercial has suffered greatly this year. It is difficult for a small manufacturer (inside sources say $12 -$15 million annual sales) to compete with the majors. Barrett says that they will be working on products to present to the A & D community, where most commercial carpet is specified. We wish Barrett well.

If a dealer has a problem with an installation or has an administration problem, the dealer can either contact me or Barrett directly.
