Ready for Installation

Before the carpet installers arrive, please follow these easy steps to insure the install process goes as smoothly as possible:

1. Move all breakables such as ashtrays, vases, lamps, dishes, and plants from the area the carpet is to be installed.
   
   
2. In bedrooms strip the beds.  Clear the tops of all dressers, and empty the bottom of the closets, if they are to be carpeted.
   
   
3. Please disconnect and move any stereos, televisions, VCRs, and computer equipment.  We will not be responsible for any damage which might occur.
   
   
4. We do not cut doors off for carpet clearance.  We suggest that a carpenter be contacted if this service is needed.
   
   
5. If you would remove all small items you can from the rooms to be carpeted, it will speed and aid you installation.  Those heavy items that you cannot move will be moved for you.
   
   
6. If you now have wall-to wall carpeting, we will reuse the tack strip already down.  If damaged we will replace them.  In most cases, metal is replaced.
   
   
7. Please be sure that power is available and on for the equipment to be used in your installation.  During the colder months we also need the heat turned on.
   
   
8. If any questions arise during the installation the person on the jobsite will be happy to answer them.  If the question is not properly addressed, please call the office and ask for your salesperson and they will be glad to help you.
   
   
9. There will be an extra charge to move large items such as pianos, pool tables (no slate), washer and dryers, and large wall units.
   
   
10. Seams look their worst when first installed.  They get better with time (in summer 4 to 6 weeks, in winter 8 to 12 weeks).  Some materials seam more easily than others do.  No seam can be guaranteed to be invisible.
    
    
11. We will during the colder months need to increase the temperature in your home.  This will allow the carpet to warm and be easier to work with.
