Getting ready for carpet installation

Proper preparation before installation assures a hassle-free flooring upgrade. When you shop at our carpet store in Saskatoon, SK, you can depend on Braid Flooring & Window Fashions to remove old flooring when we come to your home.

We'll make sure you are aware of all the installation details before our team arrives, but there are a few general things that every homeowner can do.

Clear a path

Carpet comes in a massive roll that installers must get to the work area, and they'll be bringing equipment into your home, too.

Thus, you must clear a path to the space in which they will be working and keep this path open throughout the time they install the carpet. Usually, our installers need to get to their truck more than once during carpet installation.

Get ready

While we move heavy furniture, you'll need to take smaller items out of the room, including anything that might be hung on the lower portion of the walls.

Also, vacuum the rug before the installation team arrives so dust, allergens, and dirt do not disperse into the air as the carpet is removed from your home. Good ventilation is essential on installation day.

After carpet installation

Usually, installation takes a few hours, and after the installers leave, you'll need to stay off the carpet for about a day until the glue dries completely.

We take scraps of carpet and leftover materials with us, so all you need to do when the job has been finished is vacuum the carpeting to remove any loose ends and move everything back into the room.

Lots of services are available at our carpet store

In addition to carpet installation, locally-owned Braid Flooring & Window Fashions offers free in-home estimates and design consultation services.
