Basic installation guidelines

To ensure that your carpet installation is done correctly, make sure that you:

  • Proper planning,
  • Correct estimations,
  • Experienced coordinator,
  • Accurate measurements,
  • Seam placement, and
  • Detail areas requiring special considerations, such as unusual room shapes, closets, borders, etc.

Installation specifiers

These specifics need to be discussed and planned based on drawings with the approved location of seams, edge moldings, carpet direction and accessories (adhesives, cushion, etc.). It will allow you to avoid any problems and keep you on the correct path to successful installation.

General contractor

Research and select the best local carpet contractor for your budget. Review their testimonials online, interview the contractor and make sure they discuss all details prior to paying a down payment or signing a contract.

The contractor will need to make sure the surface is ready to install carpet, including confirmation of concrete moisture and alkali conditions, cleanliness, surface quality, and floor levelness.

The contractor must also set appropriate room temperatures 48 hours prior to installation (65 to 95 degrees) and provide ventilation during and 48 to 72 hours after installation.

Installation contractor

The installation contractor must use qualified labor and specified tools and accessories; provide accuracy of measurement and coordinate with the general contractor on all applicable details, including the installation date, delivery, storage, security, and insurance.
