Specifier FAQ

Do I need to go through a rep to spec a commercial line?

For most contract textile and wallcovering lines — yes. Brands like Maharam, Designtex, Knoll Textiles, Carnegie, and Wolf-Gordon route specification, sampling, and quoting through their independent rep network. The rep is your single point of contact for memo samples, custom colorways, lead times, COM/COL approvals, and project pricing. Skipping the rep usually means slower samples and no project-level pricing.

How do I get memo samples or a binder for a project?

Contact the rep that covers your territory for that specific line. Open the rep card, find the line you need, and email the agency directly. Most agencies turn samples in 24–72 hours for in-state requests. For multi-line specs, one email to the rep agency usually covers every line they carry.

Why does the same brand have a different rep in each state?

Manufacturers contract independent rep agencies on a territory basis — typically a single state, a metro region, or a multi-state cluster. The rep agency is the brand's exclusive on-the-ground sales arm in that territory, handling specifier visits, showroom demos, CEU presentations, and quotes. That's why a line like Maya Romanoff might have one rep in California and a different one in Texas.

I'm a manufacturer looking for rep coverage — can this directory help?

The directory is a one-way reference: specifiers find reps, not the reverse. If you're a brand evaluating territory gaps, you can use the filters to see which agencies already carry adjacent lines in a given region, then approach those agencies directly. Email info@commercialdesignreps.com if you'd like a free territory-coverage report on a specific line.
