Questions You Must Ask Before Hiring Any Carpet Installer
©Alan J. Fletcher
1. Are you licensed bonded and insured? Many states now require contractor certification. Even if your State does not require a State issued contractor license, always hire an installer that is bonded and insured.
2. What is your state-issued registration number? You can call your State contractors licensing office and verify the status of his license and see if there have been any complaints or claims filed against the installer.
3. How long have you been installing carpet? Always ask for three local references and require at least 10 years experience. (More for difficult or specialized installation jobs)
4. Do you always use a power stretcher? Yes is the correct answer! Good installers always use a power stretcher to install carpet properly. Never let them tell you otherwise!
