About Early's Flooring Specialists & More

RESIDENTS IN RURAL AREAS don’t need to travel to find quality flooring. Early’s Carpet, Inc. has the largest in-stock inventory of carpets, area rugs, orientals, vinyl, hardwood, laminate, ceramic, and remnants. They are flooring specialists who offer all types of floor coverings, custom drapes, and window treatments; as well as in-home services which include carpet and tile cleaning to water restoration.

At Early’s Carpet, customers can expect quality-driven customer service and dedication from employees who offer the best values and craftsmanship. The business began in 1966 in the basement of John and Lorraine Early’s home in Amissville. With few carpet options in the area, John and Lorraine leaned on John’s 12 years of experience in carpet and flooring installations, and Lorraine’s extensive business knowledge, and the store quickly became known as the “one-stop shop for home decorating”.

Today, the staff members help customers with decorating selections, custom window treatments, blinds, shades, shutters, bedspreads, slipcovers, and reupholstery coordinated all under one roof. In 1969, the Early’s built a store next to their home. A warehouse followed in 1971, giving Early’s Carpet 11,400 square feet of showroom and inventory space. Years later in 2016, an additional 1,184 square foot office and training space was added, expanding the showroom with the relocation of offices. Early’s is a family-operated business and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Lorraine Early co-founded the business with her late husband John. Today, Lorraine and her daughter, Sonja own and operate the business. Sonja is also the shop manager, decorator, and window treatment specialist. Lorraine’s son-in-law, Solon Betts, is a ceramic craftsman and manages the installation crews, and is the second Vice President of the company. Victoria “Tori” Braley, Sonja’s sister-in-law, works directly with insurance companies following a water damage claim as manager of the water restoration department. Emergency calls for flooded floors can be handled by their on-call technician 24/7. Simply call 540-937-5500, Early’s can dry your home and put it back as if it never happened. Sonja and Solon are currently in the process of adding a 64’ x 100’ warehouse addition onto the existing warehouse to house the area rug cleaning equipment and cleaning trucks. The project is anticipated to be finished by October 2023, just in time for the beginning of their 58th year in business.
