Not only will brand new carpet transform your home, but it will also improve your air quality and create a positive sensory experience — but you have to install it first. However, by taking the right steps beforehand, things don’t have to be complicated.

Here are three smart ways to prepare for a carpet installation so that you can save time, money, and hassle:

Rent a Storage Unit

You can’t install carpet in an area that is filled with furniture, so instead of moving everything into other areas of your home, rent a storage unit. In addition to providing you with a convenient place to stash your furniture, storage units also make it easy to de-clutter your place after your carpet installation is complete. Because most storage facilities rent units on a monthly basis, you can take the opportunity to go through your things, toss items you don’t need, and store furniture pieces you may not want in the house.

Make a Detailed Plan

A proper carpet installation is like a symphony of crucial tasks, so make sure you and your carpet installers are on the same page. Make a detailed plan together regarding costs, timelines, and products being used, and communicate effectively before and throughout the installation. Don’t forget to ask about things that could cause snags in your projects, such as delivery delays, installation errors, and subfloor problems. Having a detailed plan will help you to streamline your project and budget for potential issues.

Clean Carefully  

To make things easier for your installation team, clean the rooms receiving new carpet carefully before the big day. Vacuum old carpets, scrub baseboards, and check for things like moisture in the carpet to help installers identify and resolve issues early.
