Getting Excited for Your Carpet Installation? Here’s What to Know!
Choosing the perfect carpet for your home is a big step, and now installation day is just around the corner! We can’t wait to help bring your vision to life. Our professional team is here to make the process smooth and stress-free. Let’s walk through what you need to know to get ready.
How to Prep for Carpet Installation
To make sure everything goes off without a hitch, here’s a quick checklist to help you prepare:
- Move your furniture: Clear the space of furniture ahead of time, or let us know if you’d like help. Don’t forget to remove fragile items like decorations, plants, or drapery near the work area.
- Check your doors: If your new carpet is thicker than the old flooring, door bottoms might rub. Plan to have them adjusted (sanded or shaved) so they open and close smoothly.
- Finish any remodeling first: Painting, wallpapering, or other updates? It’s best to complete those projects before installation day. Save some extra paint for touch-ups if needed!
A little preparation can go a long way to making the big day hassle-free.
What to Expect on Installation Day
Here’s how to make installation day run smoothly:
- Be available: Plan to be home to greet the installers, show them the area, and answer any questions during the process.
- Keep kids and pets safe: Installation tools and techniques can create a busy and potentially hazardous area, so it’s best to keep little ones and furry friends out of the way.
- Do a final walk-through: Once the job is done, take a look around. This is your chance to review the results, ask questions, and let us know if there’s anything you need. We’re here to make sure you love your new carpet!
Simple Tips to Keep Your Carpet Looking and Feeling Great
With a little care, your carpet can stay fresh, clean, and cozy for years. Act quickly on spills by blotting with warm water and a gentle detergent—never rub or use bleach! Use doormats at entrances to keep dirt out, rearrange furniture to prevent wear in one spot, and vacuum regularly, especially in busy areas. For tough stains or special care, always follow your manufacturer’s guidelines. These small steps make a big difference in keeping your carpet beautiful!
