What to expect during & after installation
A member of your household who is at least 18 or older should be available to greet your installation crew and show them the work area. For everyone’s safety and to help the project go smoothly, keep children and pets away from the work area until the job is done. Feel free to ask your lead installer any questions you might have.
The installation process begins with removal of your old flooring. Then, carpet padding is laid to make the carpet feel softer when you step on it and to help absorb noise. Next comes the actual carpet. The carpet should meet each wall snugly with no edges showing. It should lay smoothly without any bumps or ripples, and none of the seams should be obvious.
