About Us

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 540-358-8363, Early’s can dry your home and put it back as if it never happened. We recently expanded our warehouse with a 64’ x 100’ addition to accommodate our area rug cleaning equipment and cleaning trucks.
