Before Carpet Installation
To get ready for your new carpet installation, start by removing all furniture, electronics, and hanging wall items from your rooms and closets receiving new flooring. Since carpet can’t be installed over existing flooring, the current floors will need to be removed and disposed of entirely. Once your subfloor has been professionally assessed, and any necessary repairs are made to ensure a smooth surface, you are ready for new carpet!
Carpet Installation Process
On the day of your new carpet installation, an adult will need to be home to answer questions for your installation crew. Designate an area in the home for the installers to keep dangerous tools, carpet rolls before they are installed, and cut carpet as needed. Keep all children and pets away from the installer’s work area and the rooms receiving new carpet.
Enjoy Your New Carpet
After you wait the specified amount of time when installation is complete, it’s time to enjoy your new carpet! When returning furniture to the rooms, always move pieces by lifting or using appropriate moving equipment with rollers. Never drag furniture across the carpet surface and use felt protectors under heavy pieces to reduce impact. When vacuuming your new carpet, you may experience normal shedding for the first month or so.
