As you begin calling around to find a
qualified carpet installer,
Here are a few questions you need to be sure
to ask.
1. Are you licensed bonded and insured?
Many States now require contractor certification.
Take the time to call the State Contractor Office and verify that the
license is current and see if there have been any claims against it. If your State does not
require a license, always hire an installer that has business liability
insurance. This will help protect you in the event of an accident or
injury while they are working on your property.
2. What is your state issued registration number?
You can call the State and verify the status of his
license and see if there have been any complaints filed against the
installer.
3. How long have you been installing carpet?
Always ask for references and require at least 5 years experience. If
your job is more complex I suggest you find a carpet installer with at
least 10 years experience.

to hire someone who is experienced doing your type of work. Installing
high-quality carpet in Custom homes requires much more expertise than
installing low-grade carpet in apartments.
5. Do you use a power stretcher?
Good carpet installers always use a power stretcher to
install carpet properly. Some might try to suggest that it is not
necessary to use a power stretcher, to them I say thank you but no thank
you!
6. How much do you charge per yard?
The going rate for apartment grade carpet varies in
geographical areas. Don't assume that the cheapest price is the best
price. It can be wise to pay a little more for a job well done. Be sure
to ask if there are any extra fees and charges that you might incur.
There is usually an additional charge for removing the old carpet and
pad, installing carpet on stairs, special transitions, and custom
work.
7. How long do you guarantee your work?
Most carpet layers will offer a one-year warranty. Better
installers will offer two years and some will even offer a lifetime
warranty. If your carpet comes loose or develops wrinkles it is nice to
know you can have it fixed or repaired at no charge. Be sure to get....
