Carpet

Professional Carpet Installation

A quality installation is critical to the performance of your carpet.  This is a job for the professionals.

We have professional installers on staff, that adhere to the CRI Carpet Installation Standard.  We will have our professional estimator to your home to measure your floors.  The estimator will determine exactly how much carpet you will need to buy and will determine the layout of the carpet in the room.  Among other considerations, the estimator will decide where to place seams, how to match patterns, and how to minimize carpet waste.

Who moves the furniture?

You should remove all breakable items, like vases, lamps, collectibles, and dishes before the installer arrives.  You should detach wiring from TVs, VCRs, stereos, and computers.  You should also clear desktops, tabletops, and bookshelves.

What if my doors no longer close?

Some doors may need trimming to accommodate the thickness of your new carpet.  Doors that do not open and close properly due to the new floor may be removed during installation, and it will be up to you to have the doors cut and re-hung.

What about moldings?

It may be necessary to remove moldings and reattach them during installation.  Because some moldings, particularly quarter round, are fragile, breakage could occur.  If it does, you will be responsible for replacing them.  Scratches or nicks to baseboards are also a possibility, and you will by responsible for the touch-ups. 

Will installers move my water heater?

Professional installers aren’t typically skilled in plumbing or electrical work.  However, we do offer the removal of most appliances from the room to install your flooring under or around them.

What if the sub-flooring is damaged?

All floor coverings, including carpet, need to be installed over a structurally sound and properly installed sub-floor. Any wood that has been damaged by insects, water, or other factors should be repaired prior to carpet installation.

Do I have to remove my old carpet?

The removal of existing carpet is part of our installation service.

Do I need to supply anything?

We provide the know-how, and the equipment; you provide the power. We will need to use your power for our electrical tools, and may need to use such areas as porches or patios to store equipment.

Other Installation Tips

Either the night before or the morning of your installation, vacuum the old carpet to minimize the airborne dust and particles that removing it will cause.
