Your current carpeting is looking old and stained and you are ready for a change. You love the warmth and comfort that comes with wall-to-wall carpeting and want to ensure you work with the right installer that will meet your needs and installs a product that will fit your budget. Before you work with an installer or purchase your carpet, here are a few key questions you need to ask.
What Is Included in the Cost of Installation?
The cost of installation and the product are two big factors. This is why you need to ask what exactly is included in the total cost of the installation. For example, some companies will relocate the furniture, remove the old carpet and padding, and install the new carpet. Other installers will only install the carpet and padding, meaning you will need to move the furniture and remove the old carpeting and padding yourself.
If you are on a budget, you might consider hiring an installer that only installs your new wall-to-wall carpeting. You can move your furniture and remove the existing carpeting on your own to save money.
What Is the Best Type of Carpet for My Home?
There are several types of carpeting available, and your needs, lifestyle, and budget will dictate which type of carpet is right for you. For example, if you have kids and pets and want carpeting that can stand the wear and tear, nylon is a great option. For a more cost-effective option that is easy to care for, polyester might be the right carpet for you.
The cost of the carpet is another consideration, and there are several factors that will impact the price of carpeting. The carpet's density, warranty, and even the twist of the carpet tufts will all affect how much you will pay for the carpet.
How Long Should the Process Take?
The length of time it will take to complete the entire installation is dependent upon several factors. For instance, if you are having all of the carpeting in your home replaced, it will take longer to complete this job than if you are only having the wall-to-wall carpet replaced in a single room. Any preparation that needs to take place before the installation will also impact how long the entire process lasts.
Finally, if you are having your existing carpets removed by the installers, it will also take longer to finish the job. It is important to ask the right questions to ensure you have the right carpet installed for you. Reach out to a company such as Williams Carpet Center to find out more.
