BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
- Unless otherwise specified, the customer is responsible for movement of all contents, furniture and appliances before the installer arrives.
- If the installer is moving furniture (must be purchased), the customer is responsible to remove all breakable and loose items (such as bedding, drawer/shelf contents, lamps, vases, toys, etc.) and must disconnect and remove all electronics (TVs, computers, etc.) before the installer arrives.
- Our subcontractors cannot disconnect or reconnect gas appliances, dismantle or move aquariums, pianos or pool tables. Alternate arrangements will need to be made by the customer.
- If the customer is removing exisiting flooring:
- Unless otherwise discussed, remove all exisiting layers of flooring, down to the subfloor, leaving it completely exposed
- Remove any residual staples, adhesive and ensure the subfloor is flat, smooth and dry to receive new flooring
- Leave all existing tack-trip (aka smooth edge) for new carpet installations
- Sweep or vacuum the area
- Hardsurface products will be delivered 24-72 hrs prior to installation to acclimatize. Product cannot be placed in the garage during this period.
- The customer is responsible to provide adequate heat, power, light, humidity and ventilation 72 hrs prior and throughout the duration of the installation.
- If you have any concerns, questions or need to reschedule your installation, please contact your sales representative as soon as possible to discuss.
Note: The Carpet Studio strives to meet all timelines discussed; however, we do not have control over back-orders, shipping delays and/or manufacturing issues of our vendors. The duration of your installation is based on the inital scope of work; however, renovations do not always go as planned. The possibility exists for a delay, resulting in the potential for your installation date and/or timeframe to be changed.
