Over Eight Decades of Service Guaranty Abastract Company has maintained a high reputation since it opened 86 years ago.
Grigsby’s Carpet, Tile & Rug Gallery is currently featuring pet-friendly products with a focus on dogs and cats –and people too. Director of Operations Penny Carnino has announced that the company’s Stainmaster® PetProtect™ Carpets will be on sale now through October 11, 2014. “Pet hair releases from them easily, making cleaning a snap,” says Carnino. “The Stainmaster PetProtect carpet system resists pet stains, is color safe, and easily releases pet hair while you vacuum to decrease the amount of time you spend cleaning.” One could say Stainmaster PetProtect products are pet – and owner – friendly. Stainmaster sponsored the popular Westminster Dog Show this year. All Stainmaster PetProtect carpets and other pet-friendly products will be
on sale at the Grigsby’s event. In addition to the spotlight being on these special products, Grigsby’s has teamed with the SPCA and will feature a Pet Adoption Day on October 11, the final day of the promotion.

Since 1928, Guaranty Abstract Company has led the industry in abstracting services.
