Are you getting new carpet in your home? Professional installation is important to ensure proper installation so that the carpet will last as long as possible. Here’s what to expect with professional carpet installation.
Installation Preparation
First of all, the installers will come to your home to measure the space for carpet and pad. Large pieces of furniture are often moved by installers, but it’s a good idea to move as much out of the room as you can to speed up current flooring removal and installation of the new carpet. Before installation begins, the installers will cut the carpet to size.
During Installation
Installation typically takes a day or two, depending on how much carpet is being installed. Carpet glue is applied to hold down the carpet pad and tack strips from the old carpet are either reused or replaced to keep the carpet in place. You can expect some noise and dust throughout the process, so it may be a good idea to remove pets during the installation.
After Installation
Once the installers have finished installing by securing the edges of the carpet, they’ll remove old flooring as well as any remaining debris. The carpet can be vacuumed right away and you can walk across it as soon as installation is complete. When moving furniture back into the room, use furniture pads to protect the new carpet. Also, consider changing the air filters after the installation because of the dust.
