you should not have visable seams on your stairs, no matter what they
did, the stair seams should be in the bottom or top edge of the
kickplate, not in a noticable area. seams in the rooms are possible
depending on how the carpet had to be cut for fit, unless you specified
that you wanted no seam and were willing to pay for the extra linear
footage.

Hi all,

Had some carpet installed today, including 3 bedrooms, a hallway, and a
set of stairs.

Should I have seams on my stairs and in my rooms?

The three rooms were all done with the same carpet. None of the rooms
exceed 12' width, with lengths of 16', 13', and 10'. The 16' turned
out well, but I quickly discovered that the other two (smaller) rooms
were laid using 'strips' of carpet. To me, this seems like a no-no in
the carpet world unless you've got a room that is too big. Am I
mistaken? I was under the impression that the rooms would be done with
'full' sheets of carpet. Not only that, but it looks like someone
mowed my carpet.

On the stairs, there are a couple of spots where the carpet is loose.
There is also one tread with a visible seam on it. This seems totally
wrong to me...it's in the middle of the tread! Why not cut the carpet
and place the seam where the riser/tread meet, or even below the
bullnosing?

Finally, these guys didn't put down any cardboard, sheets, etc. to
protect my existing floors (it was a wet day outside, and they were
tracking it in). They didn't bother to clean up loose fibers after the
fact.

Were these guys bad installers or is this par for the course?

Cheers,
Dave
