This helps the process go smoothly and quickly, and you'll be on your way to enjoying your new carpet in no time! Steps to prepare for installation 1. Remove all furniture We recommend removing all furniture and other objects from the workspace. Some installers will move your furniture, but there may be an additional charge. You might also consider hiring a team to help. 2. Remove old flooring 3. Consider trim options 4. Make sure your subfloor is prepared 5. Prepare a door plan 6. Discuss cleanup During the installation On the day of the installation, be prepared to greet the installers and direct them to the work area. You should also plan on being available during the installation in case the team has any questions. Keep in mind that it is not always possible for installers to give you an exact arrival time based on the varying lengths and circumstances of each installation. Once the installation begins, make sure children and pets are kept away from the work area. Our installers use a variety of tools and techniques that can make the work area hazardous. When the installation is complete, you should do a thorough walk-through. This will allow you to see the final results and ask any additional questions. We want you to be 100 percent satisfied with your carpet! After the installation After the installation is complete, be sure to establish good ventilation—especially if you or a family member is sensitive to odors. Some chemicals, adhesives, or tapes can have an odor for up to 72 hours after the job is done. Shedding is natural when it comes to new carpeting. Frequent vacuuming for the first few days should remove any loose fibers from the carpet’s surface. You may also notice some sprouting. This refers to small tufts or loops of carpet that become visible after the installation. Use a small pair of scissors to carefully trim the loose fibers. Finally, if wrinkles or ripples appear in the carpet, it may be necessary to re-stretch the carpet. Please contact us to have this done professionally.
