Our professional installation team has got you covered

Installation
What To Do?
On installation day – While your presence is appreciated, you do not need to be home during the entire process. However, you may need to verify specific placement details before work begins. Our team will communicate expected arrival times and keep you updated on progress. Please ensure children and pets remain out of the work area to maintain safety.
After installation – To wrap up your project, we recommend a final walk-through with our chief installer to inspect the work and discuss maintenance. Please note that a “new floor smell” is normal for 48–72 hours; we advise ventilating the area and keeping pets and children away until it dissipates. For new carpets, expect some shedding or sprouting, which can be managed with vacuuming or light trimming. If temperature changes cause any ripples or wrinkles, contact us immediately—all installations are backed by our 1-year labor warranty for your peace of mind.

Preparing for Your Installation
Items to remove before installation day
Furniture
To ensure a smooth installation, please clear all work areas of personal items, décor, and electronics (TVs/computers). Our team can move large furniture for an additional fee.
Special items
Installation creates dust. Please move delicate items—like curtains, art, and electronics—to a separate room for protection.
Pets
Installation can be a stressful process for pets. Ensure they have a safe space away from the work area to avoid accidents and disturbances.
Plumbing
For plumbing areas, please hire a professional to disconnect and reconnect appliances (washers, dishwashers, ice makers). Our team does not handle plumbing.
Baseboards & Doorframes
Planning Your Installation
Following installation, baseboards, door trims, and other woodwork may require finishing or repainting. While our team will install new molding when needed, staining or painting must be completed by the homeowner or a hired painter. Additionally, newly installed carpet may alter door movement, requiring adjustments that are not covered under our installation services.
