Carpet Installation
Installation Of Your New Carpet
Did you know? In many cases, carpet installation is the most
important phase of buying carpet. While carpet cleaning and stain removal are
important, carpet installation is typically the most common carpet problem confronted
by consumers when buying new carpet. While carpet installation prices will vary
from area to are, carpet installer wages have not increased proportionally.
Always preserve about 1 square foot piece of the original uninstalled carpet.
Some manufacturing defect analysis only can be performed on unused (untrafficked)
carpet. Also, should the carpet fail (which is rare), it is helpful to evaluate
a new piece versus a sample that has been trafficked.
Prior to the installation of your new carpet, it is recommended that you discuss
with the retailer or installer the specifics of your carpet
installation. Should you have any specific recommendations or questions
related to your carpet installation it is important to discuss these concerns
prior to carpet installation. Your
carpet should be inspected for correct style, color, texture, and any visible
defects before it is installed. If you notice a defect, contact your retailer
immediately. It is your floorcovering retailer's responsibility to install carpet
without visible defects if you purchase through a retailer and your responsibility
if you purchase your new carpet through other sources. Carpet manufacturers
will not entertain claims for any carpet installed with a visible defect. Should
you insist the carpet be installed with a visible defect, you may be responsible
for any additional labor charges associated with the removal and reinstallation.
