BEFORE CARPET INSTALLATION
Follow these valuable considerations before your carpet installation to ensure a smooth process:
- Remove all furnishings, electronics, wall hangings, and doors from the rooms and closets receiving new carpet.
- Since carpet cannot be installed over an existing floor, your current floors will need to be removed and disposed of.
- Complete all painting and touch-ups in the room before installation begins.
- Carpet installation requires a completely flat subfloor so you will need to repair any imperfections.
DURING CARPET INSTALLATION
When your carpet installation day is here, take these steps for safety and efficiency:
- Plan to be home to answer any questions for the installation crew.
- Designate an area in the home for workers to keep installation tools, keep carpet rolls before they are installed, and cut carpet as needed.
- Keep kids and pets away from the rooms receiving new carpet and the worker’s area.
- Establish appropriate ventilation in the home as directed.
AFTER CARPET INSTALLATION
Once your new carpet installation is complete, make sure to observe the following:
- Wait the specified amount of time before walking on your new carpet and returning furnishings.
- When bringing furniture back in, always lift or use moving equipment with rollers to avoid snagging the carpet.
- We recommend using felt protectors under the legs of heavier furniture to reduce crushing.
- You may experience normal shedding when vacuuming for the first month after installation.
