  3. Carpet removal is not only about ripping it up and throwing it out: Carpeting happens to be big, heavy and bulky. Just the act of pulling it up is more difficult than it really seems. Carpeting attaches to the floor with the help of hundreds of tack strips. Once you have managed to pry the carpet from the tacks, the tack strips need to be pried from the floor and the old carpet pad also needs to be removed. And many times it has been seen that there is hidden damage to the floor after removal of the carpet. This is why it is best left to the professionals to remove carpet effectively.

  4. The right carpet is more than the right color: Finding the right carpet for your house is more than choosing a color and a pile height. It is vital that you choose the right pad for the carpet. This can be a difficult task for homeowners. Cheap padding can lose the spring very quickly and cause the carpet surface to feel hard and unforgiving, the carpet also wears out quickly in these cases. If you have professional carpet installers give you a consultation with different samples , this problem might be negated.

  5. Carpet measuring is a science: measurement for the carpet is not just about the square footage of the room. Yes, you need to know the square footage but you also need to consider how many rolls of carpet it will take to cover the room with the smallest number of seams. Because carpet comes in rolls of 12 feet, large rooms will require multiple rolls and it gets difficult to do it yourself.

If the carpet pieces are not attached properly an obvious seam is created and it looks ugly. Carpet Installation laying professionals know all the tips and tricks of getting this right so it may be best to hire them.

  7. Cutting a carpet to the correct fit is challenging: A room is rarely just a box, it has different measurements at different part and cutting a carpet to fit the room can be a challenging affair.
