How to Know When to Choose Professional Over DIY Carpet Installation

McCalls Carpet One

As part of your spring refresh in your home, new carpet may be at the top of your list. While carpet can be expensive, often homeowners will cut out the professional installation. In the long run, it often doesn’t save time or money. Here are some things to consider for your carpet installation project.

If you Choose DIY – Consider the Following

Your warranty for your carpet will be void after it’s cut.

There are special tools required to lay the carpet and they aren’t that easy to use.

If your room has any irregular corners or require multiple cuts for vents and room shape, it can be very difficult to do on your own.

Laying down the padding incorrectly will cause bumps in the carpet.

Will your room require a seam that will need to be concealed?

Professional Installation 

Most will clear the room for you before installation.

Removal of the old carpet is often included in your cost of installation.

Warranty is intact when a professional installs your carpet.

Carpet is an investment so leave the installation to the professionals, the savings is minimal compared to the advantages.
