1. Ten Ways to Save On Carpet Replacements 

There are dozens of great ways that a rental property owner or manager can reduce carpet replacement and repair expenses. Here are ten money-saving strategies revealed by Alan J. Fletcher, author of Landlord Floors, carpet and vinyl management for rentals.

2. Rental Property Carpet Maintenance Guide

You need to schedule frequent flooring inspections. I suggest every 6 months, but once a year at the very least. Not only do you have the right to inspect the flooring in every unit, but you have every good reason to do this. As a landlord myself I can assure you that there are many problems that can be avoided if you can find them before they become big problems. 

3. Flooring Replacement Schedule (part one)

Scheduling and planning are the cause of more headaches than any other single aspect of rental management. The number one goal in having rentals is to keep them rented, so you need to be able to get a recently vacated unit rent-ready again in short order. You should expect vendors and contractors that work for you to understand this, and complete their assignments quickly and on time. 

4. Reducing Carpet Replacement Expenses

Replacing worn out and damaged carpet and vinyl flooring is a huge ongoing expense. Rental property owners are warned to keep a close eye on the amount charged for Carpet and vinyl replacements and related flooring repairs.

5. Apartment Carpet & Flooring Maintenance Guide

We have mentioned sealing out water by applying caulking around toilets tubs and showers, but one bead of silicone will only last so long. If you don’t keep an eye on it your seal will fail and lots of your money will flow right down that crack.

 

6. Article: What to Expect from Flooring Installers

Upon completion all vinyl areas must be free of any excess glue and all areas swept clean. All excess vinyl and debris must be removed from the unit. All lights and heaters must be turned off. All keys must be returned to the manager and all window and doors must be locked upon departure.

7. Ten Questions to Ask Every Carpet Installer As you begin calling around to find a qualified carpet installer, here are a few questions you need to be sure to ask. 

8. Finding Qualified Carpet Installers Finding a good carpet installer can be difficult. Especially when you consider that some carpet installation jobs are more difficult than others and require a more experienced installer.

9. Carpet & Vinyl Installation Inspection Checklist

10. Seven Carpet Buying Secrets Revealed

Here are seven, money-saving, carpet buying recommendations, revealed by Alan J. Fletcher, a 25-year veteran of the carpet business, that will give consumers a valuable head start in making sure they make wise and informed choices selecting carpet for their home.

12. Apartment Turnover - Order of Events

13. Apartment Maintenance Training

14. Carpet Pad Basics

The purpose of installing padding under carpet is to provide a soft cushion of comfort when walked on, to support and protect the carpet from excessive wear and abrasion, and prevent the carpet from losing its "stretch" prematurely.
