Scheduling Installation
We will make every effort to schedule your installation on the most convenient day and time for you. Please be proactive in selection and request for installation. Depending on your project it may take several weeks from the initial consultation to finished installation. If you have deadlines or special request let us know, we make thing happen.
Furniture
The room should be free of all furniture before installation can proceed. We will assist you in moving some of your larger items.
We ask that you please assist us and;
We all have some valued items in our homes that require the utmost care and expertise to move. We know you will want to have these items moved by experts as we will not be able to move them. We cannot move grand or baby grand pianos, grandfather clocks, waterbeds, aquariums, computers, stereo sound systems, big screen TVs or precious antiques BUT we can facilitate the moving of these objects for you with a 3rd party contractor.
Kitchen and Utility Rooms
Please disconnect your washer, dryer, refrigerator, ice maker, and gas appliances. We recommend for your safety, that a gas company or any other knowledgeable appliance company disconnect and reconnect these appliances. At your request arrangements can be made to move the disconnected appliance.
Doors
When carpeting is installed there is a possibility that the doors may not clear and swing freely. We will remove doors in order to install the carpet. If the doors do not fit, we will not be able to plane or cut them down. We regret that we can’t perform this service, because it requires equipment and expertise we are unable to provide. Please ask your sales professional and they will gladly refer a contractor to assist you.
Moldings
Our technicians take every precaution to protect your moldings. Regrettably, some scratching may occur to baseboards or woodwork during carpet installation. This is caused by the stiffness of the carpet backing. It is advisable to keep some paint for touch-ups if needed.
Seams
Most carpet installations require the use of seams. This is because of the width of the carpet, or to enable us to make the best use of the total carpet purchased. We use the finest seaming technique in the industry and spend a great deal of time preparing and joining the seams so you will receive trouble free service. Please review the location of the seams with your salesperson prior to the installation. We cannot guarantee any seam to be invisible. Even though our installers are skilled crafts-men, you may be able to see the seams. Some are more visible than others. This is quite normal and should be expected.
Disposal of Old Carpet
Please let us remove and dispose of your old floor covering. We will ask your preference just in case you would like to take on the chore yourself.
There may be problems that may not be seen until actual installation has begun. Such as, but not limited to, bad concrete, sub-floor uneven, separated board, loose flooring, black adhesive, pad or carpet that is stuck to the floor.
