Moving Furniture |
|
| |
Our
standard rate for moving furniture is $1 per square yard of carpet
purchased. Additional charges may apply to areas with excessive amount
of furniture (i.e. file cabinets, heavy equipment, sleep sofas, etc.).
We do not move antiques, grandfather clocks, gas stoves, refrigerators
with front door dispensers, aquariums, waterbeds, heavy pool tables,
safes, computers, or electrical equipment. (Many of these items need to
be professionally moved). If you decide to move your own furniture it
must be moved clear of all areas receiving the new floor covering prior
to the arrival of our installers. |

Installation Guide - Doors |
|
| |
If
you have purchased a taller floor covering or if a new subfloor is
placed on top of and existing subfloor, you may need to arrange to have
your doors trimmed to accommodate the new floor covering or floor level. |
|
|
| |
| |
Seams |
|
| |
Seams
are not invisible and will be less noticeable with different types of
carpet or vinyl patterns. Fewer seams increase the amount of floor
covering you need but adds satisfaction and professionalim to the job. |
|

| |
| |

Make sure that adequate power, lighting, ventilation, and heat will be available 24 hours before installation. |

Water
damage, floors with structural damage, asbestos floors, etc. are not
always detected until take-up and removal of existing floor covering
begins. Additional charges may apply |
