A skilled carpet installer possesses the expertise necessary to remove old carpet and install your new flooring correctly the first time. They come equipped with the proper tools and experience to handle any unexpected challenges during the installation process, ensuring a smooth and efficient job.
In addition, professional installation helps protect your warranty, as manufacturers typically require that the carpet be installed by a certified expert to maintain its coverage.
Some of the essential tools you'll see during the installation process include:
Tack Strips: These wooden slats are installed along the perimeter of the room. The angled pins on the strips grip the carpet, keeping it secure and taut.
Knee-Kicker: Also known as a carpet stretcher, this tool helps stretch the carpet into place, ensuring it fits perfectly over the tack strips.
Seam Roller: Used to press down the seams between carpet pieces, this tool ensures a smooth and durable connection, especially in high-traffic areas like stairs and doorways.
Proper preparation is key to a successful carpet installation. Our flooring specialists will guide you through the process to ensure everything is ready.
If old carpeting needs to be removed, be prepared for some additional work to clean and prepare the surface for the new installation. This is particularly important if the old carpet is glued down or attached with tile adhesive, as this may require more time and effort to remove. Our experienced team will ensure the area is ready for the new flooring and can assist with the disposal of your old carpet.
Please ensure all furniture is cleared from the room unless you have requested our team to handle the relocation. If you have heavy or fragile items that need special attention, we recommend hiring professional movers to streamline the process and minimize disruption.
We treat every flooring purchase as an investment in your home, and we are committed to delivering the highest level of quality in both the products we offer and the services we provide. Our Quality Installation Guarantee ensures your new carpet will meet or exceed industry standards.
Understanding the tools used during installation can help you appreciate the precision and skill involved:
Tack Strips: These are nailed around the perimeter of the installation area to secure the carpet in place.
Knee-Kicker: A tool that grips the carpet and stretches it into position by applying pressure with the installer’s knee.
Seam Roller: This tool presses down the seam between carpet pieces to create a tight, durable bond.
To ensure a smooth installation process, a responsible adult (18 years or older) should be present to greet the installation team and show them the work area. For everyone’s safety, it’s best to keep children and pets away from the installation zone until the work is complete.
Feel free to ask your lead installer about any aspects of the project, including how long to wait before resuming use of the newly carpeted rooms.

Proper maintenance is essential to extend the life of your flooring. For hardwood and laminate, regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris. Use a damp mop for cleaning but avoid excessive water, which can damage wood. For carpet, vacuum frequently and consider professional deep cleaning periodically. Avoid dragging heavy furniture and use protective pads. Also, place rugs in high-traffic areas to minimize wear. Finally, follow the manufacturer's care guidelines for your specific flooring type to ensure longevity.
