A step-by-step guide to the process

1. Estimate. This is done at our showroom if you know the square footage, describe the room in detail and preferably have photographs. Sometimes it will require a trip to the home for inspection before an estimate is done, however.

2. Measuring appointment: Don't skip this critical step; improper measuring can result in under-ordering products, resulting in delays or over-ordering, which adds to the bill.

3. Carpet installation day:?

Professional installers come with the right tools, stretch and seam properly, and ensure no height issues keep doors opening and closing correctly. In addition, no bumps, rolls, or wrinkles will affect the rug's performance and longevity.?

When do I need a carpet replacement?

You might do it for a subjective reason, such as remodeling the entire room. However, if there are signs of wear, or it becomes excessively stained and always looks dirty, it's time to replace the carpet even after cleaning.
