Remember, your retailer will provide you with installation
experts.
Who
is responsible for moving furniture in the room?
Who
removes and disposes of the old carpet and padding?
Are
there any extra charges for these services?
Where

Room
Preparation
Be sure to prepare the room for the installation.
Vacuum
the old carpet to avoid airborne dust or particles.
Make

for the room, after any painting, wallpapering or construction

During
Installation
You've
got a role to play during the big roll out.
Vacuum
the floor after the old carpet and padding are removed.
Inspect
the new carpet as it's unrolled for the proper color, texture
and style.
Make
sure the installers properly stretch the new carpet to minimize
wrinkles and ripples.
If
the new carpet prevents doors from opening, arrange to have
them trimmed and rehung.
Ventilate
the room well - open doors, windows and run exhaust fans.

|
After
the Event
Set the stage for quality care.
Vacuum
to remove the loose fibers.
Ventilate
the area for the first 48 to 72 hours, so the new carpet
smell will disappear.
