Her daughter Sonja Betts is the shop manager, son Michael Early as lead estimator, son in law Sol Betts heads up the installation crews, grandson Ted Robson Jr. is lead technician of the cleaning and restoration crews, and newly graduated grandson Dustin Betts just began his apprenticeship in sales and estimating.

Early’s Carpet, Inc. Celebrates 57 Years of Service!
Residents in rural areas don’t need to travel to find quality flooring. Early’s Carpet, Inc. has one of the area’s largest in-stock inventory of carpet, area rugs, orientals, vinyl, hardwood, laminate, ceramic, and remnants. They also staff flooring specialists who guide customers in choosing floor coverings, custom drapes, and window treatments, as well as offer in-home services that range from carpet and tile cleaning to water restoration.
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, staff members help customers with decorating selections, custom window treatments, blinds, shades, shutters, bedspreads, slipcovers, and reupholstery—all coordinated under one roof.
In 1969, the Earlys 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 has always been a family-operated business, beginning with Lorraine and John. Today, Lorraine and her daughter, Sonja Betts, own and operate the business. Sonja also serves as shop manager, decorator, and window treatment specialist.
In addition, Lorraine’s son-in-law, Solon Betts, is a ceramic craftsman who manages the installation crews and is the company’s second vice president. Victoria “Tori” Braley, Sonja’s sister-in-law, manager of the water restoration department, works directly with insurance companies following water damage claims. Lorraine’s grandson, Dustin Betts, works in sales and estimating. Emergency calls for flooded floors can be handled by their on-call technician 24/7.
Sonja and Solon are currently in the process of completing a 64’ x 100’ addition onto the existing warehouse to house cleaning equipment and trucks. The project is anticipated to be finished this month, just as Early’s begins its 58th year in business.
At Early’s Carpet, customers can expect quality-driven customer service and dedication from employees who offer the best values and craftsmanship. Stop in to meet with the knowledgeable staff about your flooring and window treatment needs. They take pride in providing top-notch customer satisfaction and look forward to working with you. To learn more, call (540) 937-5500.
