What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Carpet installation begins with installing tack strips 3/8 inch from the baseboard around the room perimeter, laying 6-lb or 8-lb rebond pad and stapling it to the subfloor, then stretching the carpet using a power stretcher and knee kicker to achieve 1–1.5% tension before hooking onto tack strips. Seams are joined with heat-activated seaming tape and a seam iron. Transitions are installed at doorways using metal Z-bar or carpet reducer.

Common questions from clients looking for Carpet Installation services
For most residential carpet, 7/16-inch thick 6-lb rebond pad is standard; Berber requires a thinner, firmer pad (3/8-inch, 8 lb) to prevent wrinkling and backing failure.
Knee-kicking only is insufficient — it provides less tension than a power stretcher, causing carpet to buckle and ripple within 1–2 years of installation.
Not recommended — double-layering reduces stability, increases trip hazard at transitions, and traps allergens. Old carpet and pad should be removed before installation.
Proper planning places seams perpendicular to the main light source and in low-traffic areas; room dimensions and carpet width (12 ft standard) determine seam placement.
Furniture can be placed immediately after installation; use furniture coasters under heavy pieces to prevent tack strip puncture and permanent indentations.
