I am having new carpet installed in 4 rooms on Monday. What are some of
the things I need to watch out for? I will be on site and watching and
also helping to move furniture from room to room. TIA Chuck B.


You've got to expect that the crew knows how to do the job. But be sure
they do all that your paying for. The flooring merchants around here seem
to subcontract the installation. If the crews can do three jobs in a day
instead of two it's money in their pockets. I've generally had good results
but the last time was an exception.

That was for vinyl flooring in a kitchen-dining area. I had contracted for
removal of two previous layers of flooring and removal and replacement of
washer, dryer and refrigerator. The crew was going to floor over the old
stuff and around the appliances. Fortunately, I was there and forestalled
an irremediable mistake.

I'm not suggesting this is typical but it may suggest a type of thing you
could be alert for


Thank you for the tips.
