If you’re looking to have carpet installed in one or more rooms of your home, you might be wondering what to expect from the installation process. Here are a few pointers to prepare you for your professionals and have the best carpet installation experience possible.
Get Moving
While your carpet installation professionals will typically assist you in moving your larger furniture items, any smaller pieces – such as lamps, boxes and baskets, electronics or other items – should be moved by the homeowner or tenant before installation begins. This ensures that your items won’t be damaged, and will prepare your room for having carpet installed.
Out with the Old
Typically, your carpet installers will remove and dispose of old carpeting before performing your installation. Inquire with your provider beforehand to ensure that this is the case, so you won’t be hit with a surprise additional cost on installation day.
In with the New
Once your old carpeting or other flooring is disposed of, it is time for carpet installation to begin. You and your installers may work together to ensure that your subfloor is clean and dry, then carpeting can be adhered to the surface. Once all carpeting is properly installed, you will be free to immediately use your floors again, replacing your furnishings and living in your rooms in a way that few other types of floorings allow so quickly. Carpet truly is one of the most comfortable ways to live in your space!
