Carpet Installation

Shedding

New carpet can and will shed. Fiber type, twist and construction will affect how much a carpet will shed. It is normal to see fibers in your vacuum for the first 6 months.

Shading / Texture

Carpet can appear to look and feel different once installed in your home. Dye-lots, lighting, paint color, furniture lay out all will affect the appearance of your carpet. Please remember the carpet sample you are looking at is only a representative of what you will be getting, not an exact match.

Roll Marks / Indents

Sometimes carpets can have crush/roll marks that are noticed after the carpet is installed. This condition is not a defect and can be corrected by steaming the affected area.
Please be aware heavy objects, such as furniture can and will leave permanent dents in your carpet.

Woven / Flat Weave Carpets

These carpets require special care. Some cannot be vacuumed using a beater bar vacuum. Seams in these carpets are very noticeable. Some products cannot have cross seams or be seamed at all. Your salesperson will review your selection and seam placement to make sure it will fit your needs. Please make arrangements in advance to have these items moved. The temperature must remain at a minimum of 65°
48 hours before and after the installation.

Pattern Carpets

All pattern carpets have pattern matches. When figuring seams we need to add the appropriate match everywhere there is a seam. This can add a substantial amount of carpet to your job. There is no such thing as a “square” room.

Certain patterns can accentuate this, especially hallways. Small print, diamonds, square patterns will show a wall running out of square.

Walls / Baseboards / Access

Carpet comes in rolls 12’ to 15’ long. If we are installing carpet in an area that has difficult access or attempting to bring carpet into a basement or attic there will most
likely be some marks and scuffs on your walls, baseboards and railings. We will do everything possible to avoid marking your baseboards and walls. Randy’s Flooring is
not responsible for touching up, repainting or reimbursing for light marks and scuffs due to access issues. Wall paint should be properly cured before we install carpet.

Clean Up / Odors

Our installers will vacuum using a canister/shop vacuum.
They will remove all scraps, tubes, plastic and wrappers.
They will leave behind any sizable pieces, doormat sized or larger at their discretion. Please be aware that your carpet may still have loose fibers, sprouts, and fuzz. You will need to vacuum your new carpet a few times to completely remove these items. There may be dust generated from installing your new carpet or from ripping up and removing your existing carpet. Neither Randy’s Flooring nor the installers are responsible for cleaning up or removing dust. You may notice your carpet or pad has a noticeable odor after installation. This is not a defect nor hazardous to you or your family. The odor should dissipate within two weeks.

Electrical, Alarm Wires & Pipes

Randy’s Flooring is not responsible for cut, pierced or broken electrical/alarm wires or pipes that are improperly placed/ran in walls, along baseboards, under floors and not
in accordance with your local building code.

You should be present when the installers arrive to review the job, confirm style, color and seam placement. Please understand an extra service charge may apply for any extra work incurred due to unforeseen problems with your sub-floor or lack of proper preparation leading to extra time spent on your job by the installers.
