Preparing for Carpet Installation

While do-it-yourself home improvement projects are increasingly popular, carpet installation requires a specialised skill.

Ask your flooring retailer if professional carpet installers are staff when purchasing your new carpet. If not, ask them to recommend an independent installer in your area. The retailer will handle all the details to arrange the installation in most cases. Ask about additional fees or carpet installation costs for things like old flooring removal and disposal and moving larger furniture pieces.

Before your carpet installer arrives, here are some things you can do to make the job easier:

• Vacuum your old carpet to minimise dust when removed.
• If you’ve removed the old rug, ventilate the room and vacuum the floor thoroughly.
• Leave nothing hanging over the carpet area, such as plants or drapery.
• Open windows and doors to provide proper ventilation.

Before Laying Begins

When the installer arrives, there’s a new checklist of chores to keep in mind:

• Make sure the carpet is the same one you ordered at the store before laying. Check the label and sales receipt.
• Ask your installer to inspect the carpet and backing for defects.
• Keep the label, receipt, warranty, and carpet scrap for your records. That little scrap will come in handy if you ever want to buy more of the same style and colour!
• Decide if you wish to keep any leftover carpet as doormats or for future repair jobs.
