What to Expect

The installation process can be daunting, often with unpredictable events uncovered in your specific installation.

  • How long will installation take?
  • You finished the project in my home. Is there anything else for me to do?
  • What should I do to prepare for my upcoming installation?
  • How do you attach my new carpet to my old carpet in the doorway?
  • You measured and said I have a "high joist". What is that?
  • I saw the advertisement at Lowe's for a Rapid install. What is that?
