A new carpet will refresh the look of your home and create a soft, comfortable surface to walk on. Before the carpet installation work begins, however, it’s important to ask a few questions to ensure you get the most out of the experience. Below are a few queries you should put to the professional you’re working with.

What to Ask Before a Carpet Installation

1. Do I Need to Take the Doors Down?

If the carpeting will be installed under the doors in the home, they might need to take them down during the work, which could affect your plans for privacy if you’ll be in the house. Find out if they will need to be removed. While you’re at it, make sure the doors will swing freely once the material is installed. If the carpeting is too thick, the professional might need to cut the doors.

2. Will You Clean Up After the Job?

Installing carpeting is a messy job, and you should expect the work will produce a lot of debris. Ask whose responsibility it is to clean up once the project is complete and if the installer charges an extra fee to do this task for you.

3. Will I Need to Touch Up the Paint?

Find out if the project will affect the look of other areas of your home, like the baseboards and the paint. At times, installing carpets results in small chips that will need to be covered up. Be aware the technicians will not do this for you: You’ll either have to do touch-ups on your own or hire someone else.
