As we round the  corner on the pandemic, things are opening up. We’re gathering together at sporting events, theaters, and yes, even our homes. As you prepare for a summer of hosting gatherings of friends and family, you notice that your carpet has turned from ivory to a questionable gray. After a year of sheltering at home, it’s begun to shred and fray.

You want to replace your carpet ASAP before your dinner party guests arrive. But how do you choose the right company? Also, how do you know they’re providing top-notch service? Here are a few questions to ask your carpet installers before they arrive at your door.

1. What’s the best carpet for my home?

That depends on the home, your personal preferences, and who’s living in the house with you. For example, the carpet you choose may be different if you live with three kids and two Golden Doodles versus if it’s just your spouse or your elderly father. With our in-home consultation, we can help you determine the best carpet for your family.

2. Is it better to get a high-pile or low-pile carpet?

That depends. While high-pile has that dreamy, plush feel that can add an element of luxury to your home, low-pile attracts less grime, making it ideal for those with children or pets.

3. Will there be a lot of noise and debris?

With any home renovation project, you can expect a fair amount of noise and, frankly, mess, which is why we recommend keeping pets and children in a separate area of the house until the installation is completed.

4. How can I extend the life of my carpet?

We recommend regularly getting professional cleanings every 12-18 months to keep your carpet looking fresh and lasting longer.

5. I have multiple pets. Is carpet a bad idea?

Not at all! As long as you keep up the maintenance with regular cleanings, your carpet should have a long lifespan.
