DETAILS
Before your new carpet hits the floor, iron out these details. Remember, we will provide you with installation experts.

Who is responsible for moving furniture in the room?

Who removes and disposes of the old carpet and padding?

Are there any extra charges for these services?

Where will the carpet seams be placed?

ROOM PREPARATION
Be sure to prepare the room for the installation.

Vacuum the old carpet to avoid airborne dust or particles.

Make sure the carpet installation is the last remodeling project for the room, after any painting, wallpapering or construction.

DURING INSTALLATION
You've got a role to play during the big roll out.

Vacuum the floor after the old carpet and padding are removed.

Inspect the new carpet as it's unrolled for the proper color, texture and style.

If the new carpet prevents doors from opening, arrange to have them trimmed and rehung.

Ventilate the room well - open doors, windows and run exhaust fans.

AFTER CARE
Set the stage for quality care.

Vacuum to remove the loose fibers.

Ventilate the area for the first 48 to 72 hours, so the new carpet smell will disappear.
