Before Installation
We inspect your space thoroughly. This includes:

Care & Maintenance
Your newly installed carpet needs proper care to maintain its beauty. For the first few days after installation, you might notice some loose fibers – this is normal and will stop with regular vacuuming. Keep your vacuum height adjusted correctly to prevent pulling or damaging the carpet pile.
Protect your new carpet from furniture damage by using proper pads under all legs. When moving heavy items, lift them rather than drag to prevent stretching or tearing your new installation. For stairs, alternate your stepping pattern occasionally to spread out wear.
North Bay winters bring salt and snow inside. Use mats at all entrances and clean spills immediately to protect your carpet. While we don’t sell cleaning products, we recommend consulting your carpet manufacturer’s guidelines for specific cleaning instructions.
