3 Questions to Ask Your Carpet Installers

If you are scouring for an effortless way of enhancing the aesthetic of your interior design, a carpet will be an excellent choice for your home. Furthermore, updating your flooring with carpeting also helps in bolstering the comfort of your interiors too by adding a plush touch to your home. However, if you are installing wall-to-wall carpeting, you cannot treat it as the simple inclusion of a rug into your space. It is imperative to have professional installers do it for you to prevent issues such as unravelling, bubbling and buckling of the carpet. Nonetheless, even as you hire professional carpet installers, there are some questions you should ask them, as listed below.

Is it vital to take out your doors?

Door removal is not crucial to every single carpet installation project, but it can be vital for some homes. If you are installing wall-to-wall carpeting on every floor in your home, it is essential to have the doors removed so that there is a seamless transition from each room. Door removal comes with privacy concerns since your entire house will be visible to the installers. Before carpet installation, enquire from the professionals if door removal will be a necessity and then make arrangements to vacate the house when the installation process is underway.

Is clean up included in the installation services?

Carpet installation can be incredibly messy. Therefore, depending on the extent of your specific setup, you may need a thorough clean up after the project is complete. It is essential to ask your contractors if they cover cleaning up too, if you have to pay an extra fee for that service or if it is necessary to hire a cleaning crew altogether.

Is carpet installation a lengthy process?

The carpet installation process duration depends on the individual needs of the project. In addition to the size of the space being carpeted, there are other considerations to have in mind. Firstly, if the carpet installers need to move furniture out of the rooms, this will add to the installation duration. Secondly, if your old floors need to be pulled out, it will increase the installation time. Thirdly, if the rooms are oddly shaped, it means the carpet needs to be cut on site, and this will take time too. To get a clear idea of the amount of time this project will take, you should have the carpet installers carry out a survey a couple of days before the installation process.
