Installation Date – Double check the delivery date, the installation date and the estimated time allowance for the installation since your home will be in disarray during installation.

Existing Flooring – Discuss removal of existing carpet with your retailer. The following steps are recommended: ventilation during removal; and vacuuming the floor after the old flooring has been removed.
