Carpet is fairly difficult to install, and unless you have previous experience with carpet installation, to avoid mistakes we suggest that you allow a professional to lay your carpet. Having your carpet installed correctly is critical.
Here are some tips to follow:
Before Installation: Remove all the furniture in the room, Metro Carpet Outlet charges an additional fee for furniture removal. Before the installers arrive, complete all other alterations to the room including painting, wallpapering and remodeling. Vacuum your old carpet to reduce airborne dust and dirt. The installer will remove and haul away your old carpet and pad, if that has been arranged with your sales associate. If you are doing the removal, make sure to remove all pad staples from the floor.
Upon Delivery: Check the carpets color, style and texture to ensure that there are no defects before installation.
During Installation: Open windows and doors, or use a fan to provide adequate air to the room during the installation process. The installer will remove all doors when installing the carpet, and will re-hang them. Some thick carpets may prevent doors from clearing the carpet. If your doors do not clear the carpet after installation, arrange to have them trimmed. This is not the responsibility of Metro Carpet Outlet.
After Installation: Vacuum the carpet to remove all loose fibers. Ventilate the area for 48 to 72 hours; the new carpet smell should dissipate quickly.
