Getting ready for new carpet
Carpet Installation in Cathedral City, Indio, and Palm Desert, CA
Follow these helpful steps before, during, and after your carpet installation for a seamless process.
Before Carpet Installation:
When preparing for new carpet installation, start by removing all the furniture, electronics, and wall hangings from the rooms and closets. The existing flooring will need to be removed and disposed of entirely since carpet can’t be installed over another flooring. All imperfections in the subfloor will need to be repaired to ensure a completely flat surface.
During Carpet Installation:
On the day of your new carpet installation, an adult will need to be home to answer questions for the installation crew. Designate an area in the home for installers to keep tools, store carpet rolls before they are installed, and cut carpet to size as needed. Keep all children and pets away from the installation areas. Establish proper ventilation as instructed by your installation crew.
After Carpet Installation:
Once your carpet installation is complete, it is extremely important to wait for the specified amount of time before walking on the new carpet and returning the furnishings to the room. Always lift or use proper moving equipment with rollers when returning furniture and heavy items. We recommend using felt protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to reduce impact. When you vacuum new carpet, you will most likely experience normal shedding for the first few weeks after installation.
