From Start to Finish: A Seamless Carpet Installation Experience

Our comprehensive installation process is designed to handle every step of the project with expert care, ensuring your new carpet looks and feels perfect from day one. Here’s how we do it:

Step 1: Removing Old Carpet and Preparing the Room

Before installing your new carpet, we first remove the old one. This includes carefully taking off the moldings around the floor and removing doors to make the process easier. We start by giving the old carpet a thorough vacuuming to minimize dust in your home.

We then cut the old carpet into manageable strips (about 18-24 inches wide) using utility knives, making it easy to remove. Although some people might suggest reusing the existing underlay, we recommend replacing it. The padding beneath the carpet usually wears out along with the carpet, so starting fresh ensures better comfort and longevity for your new carpet.

The underpad, or carpet padding, is essential for comfort and durability. We lay down the padding in strips that overlap the tackless strips (the strips with nails used to secure the carpet). The padding strips are butted against each other but not overlapped, ensuring smoothness. We then staple the padding along the inside edge of the tackless strip and trim any excess padding. Finally, we use duct tape to seal the seams, ensuring the padding is secure.

 

The carpet installation process begins with cutting a piece that overlaps the room’s edges by 4 to 6 inches. This excess is then trimmed down to fit the room exactly. We measure the room’s longest point and add 6 inches to ensure proper coverage. Once the carpet is marked, we use a utility knife to carefully cut the carpet, ensuring an exact fit without damaging the underlying padding.

If the room is too wide for a single piece of carpet, we follow the same steps for the second piece, making sure both pieces run in the same direction and overlap by 4 to 6 inches.

When joining two pieces of carpet, precision is key. We overlap the two pieces of carpet and cut through both using a seam cutter or utility knife, ensuring the edges line up perfectly. We then center a piece of seaming tape under the joint, adhesive side up, and use a seaming iron to activate the adhesive. The edges are carefully pressed together and sealed using a carpet roller or rolling pin for a flawless, seamless finish.

To secure the carpet, we use a knee kicker to attach it along one edge. A carpet stretcher, which is a longer version of a knee kicker, is then used to stretch the carpet across the room, ensuring a smooth and tight fit. The carpet stretcher grips the carpet and stretches it over the tackless strips near the far wall, securing the carpet in place and preventing any wrinkles or bubbles from forming.

Preparing for Your Carpet Installation: Tips for Homeowners

Before we arrive for your carpet installation, here are a few tips to ensure everything goes smoothly:

  • Clear the Room: Remove all furniture, personal items, and valuables from the room to give us easy access to your floors.

  • Consider Furniture Placement: Think about the layout of your room to avoid seams in high-traffic areas.

  • Inspect Flooring: If you’ve noticed any issues with your subflooring, such as unevenness or damage, let us know so we can address it before installation.

Preparing ahead of time helps speed up the installation process and ensures the best results for your new carpet.
