HOW IT WORKS
WE MAKE CARPET INSTALLATION STRESS FREE!
Step 1: Define and Capture Your Vision - Blueprint Your Goals
Preparation:
The first step is to prepare the room by removing any furniture and cleaning the floor thoroughly. If there is old carpet, it should be removed, and any bumps or unevenness in the subfloor should be addressed.
Step 2: Refine and Solidify Your Vision - Fine-tune Your Objectives
Underlay:
The next step is to install the underlay. The underlay acts as a cushion for the carpet, reduces noise and absorbs shock. It can be rolled out and cut to fit the room, with each piece joined together using tape or adhesive.
Step 3: Implement and Achieve Your Vision - Execute Your Action Plan
Carpet Installation:
Once the underlay is installed, the carpet can be laid out in the room. It should be cut to size, leaving an extra few inches around the edges, and then attached to the underlay using a knee kicker and a power stretcher. The edges can be trimmed to fit the room and tucked under the baseboard.
Step 4: Sustain and Evaluate Your Vision - Monitor Your Progress and Adjust Accordingly
Finishing:
Finally, any seams between sections of carpet should be sealed with adhesive tape, and the edges of the carpet should be secured with carpet trim or tack strips. The furniture can then be returned to the room, and the carpet should be vacuumed to remove any debris.
