The Three Often Fogotten About Things You Need To Factor Into Your Carpet Installation Cost
Carpet installation is a necessary process that all homes go through at one stage or another. Whether you are just moving in and want to put your mark on the place, or you have lived there for years and think it's time for a change, there are many reasons to want a new carpet. But no matter the cause, you should always be looking at what the cost of carpet installation will be. Using a professional to do this is a no-brainer, as that is the only way you can be guaranteed quality. However, you should still be thinking about how and where you can save a bit of money.
Carpet Removal
If you already have carpet laid out, then it should come as no surprise that it will need to be torn up before your new carpet is installed. Most carpet companies are well equipped to do this task, but you should plan for an additional charge. You should also never try to remove the carpet by yourself for a few reasons: first, it is much harder than you think to do it well, and second, if you do it poorly, a professional will likely have to go over it again anyway to fix your mistakes.
Furniture Removal
Obviously there cannot be anything in the way when your carpet is getting installed, and that means you need to move all the furniture out of each and every room that is being carpeted. If you do not do this before the carpet installation experts get there, they might charge you if they end up moving it. To save a bit of cash, always make sure that everything that can be moved off of the space well in advance of any professionals showing up.
Stairs
Stairs are a whole different beast and require a lot more specific attention when it comes to carpet installation. With that in mind, you should be ready for a slightly higher quote for the stairs in your house. This is industry standard, as the additional manpower and time spent carpeting the stairs takes away from when the contractors could be working elsewhere. Always make sure to specify how many staircases you need to have carpeted and how tall, wide and long these staircases are. Once you have the quote of the staircase compared to the rest of the house, you can decide whether it is worth it or not.
