| 1. |
FURNITURE: |
If you choose to have the installers move your furniture, there is an additional $2.00 s/yd fee. For this price the installers will move standard furniture, meaning any item that two men can move. Large pieces of furniture and unusual items will hold an additional charge.
It is the customers responsibility to move all the accessories, lamps, books, vases and breakables BEFORE the installer arrives. It is also your responsibility to disconnect all electrical items that have to be moved, such as t.v.'s, dvd's and computers. The cords must be fastened and ready to move. The installers ask that you remove all linens from beds. All items from tops of dressers and closet floors, as well as underneath beds, must be removed.
IF THE ABOVE HAS NOT BEEN DONE WITH THE INSTALLER ARRIVES, AND THEREFORE HOLDS UP START TIME, THE INSTALLER WILL CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL $45 CHARGE PER HOUR TO WAIT FOR YOU TO MOVE YOUR BELONGINGS. IF YOU HAVE TO RESCHEDULE YOUR INSTALLER, THERE WILL BE A $45 CHARGE. |

|
|
| 2. |
EXISTING CARPET: |
If you choose to have installers remove and dispose of your existing carpet, there is an additional cost of $2.00 s/yd. This cost covers removal of pad, carpet, and disposal at the landfill. Before your carpet is removed, you may wish to vacuum the carpet. After the carpet is removed, you may also wish to vacuum the floor to avoid the possibility of airborne dust and dirt. |
| |
|
|
| 3. |
PETS: |
Please make sure your pets are put up and out of danger, while the installers work. |
| |
|
|
| 4. |
AIRFLOW: |
Please make sure you ventilate the areas by opening doors, windows and running fans.
If it is new construction, heat or air conditioning must be operational for at least 72 hours before the carpet is installed. Electricity must be connected and available. |
| |
|
|
| 5. |
DOOR CUTTING: |
New thicker carpet may prevent doors from swinging freely. The installer will remove the doors and re-hang them, if possible. If the doors do not hang and swing freely, it is your responsibility to have someone come and trim the doors and re-hang them.
If you do not have existing carpet, take a sample of the new carpet and cushion, place it on the floor and open the door. This will tell you if your doors will need to be cut once the new carpet is installed. |
| |
|
|
| 6. |
BASEBOARDS/TRIM: |
In an existing home, if the new carpet's pile height is shorter than what is existing, you may need to touch up your base boards with paint or stain. In addition, when installers install carpet, it is impossible not to touch the baseboards. Scratches and nicks are a definite possibility. Please expect to have your baseboards touched up after the carpet is installed. This is normal after the installation process, and it is your responsibility to touch up these areas.
If ¼ round has to be removed and re-installed, there will be a charge. Since the ¼ round is fragile, it can break, and it is your responsibility to replace it.
NEW HOMES: Please let your builder know what carpet and pad you have chosen, so he/she can place the baseboards at the proper height. IF the baseboards are too high, there may be a gap, and this is your responsibility to fix. |
| |
|
|
| 7. |
SUBFLOORS: |
Your sub-floors must be clean, smooth and structurally sound before installation. If your sub-floor has been damaged, you will need to have it repaired prior to installation. |

CHECK OVER INSTALLATION: |
Please check the installers work before they leave. If you notice something that you would like changed or fixed, please tell the installer at that time, so he can fix the problem.
PAYMENT: Payment of the installation should be paid directly to EATMAN'S CARPETS & INTERIORS and is required immediately following the installation. Your sales associate can run the labor portion through on your credit card, or you may write a check made out to EATMAN'S CARPETS & INTERIORS and hand it to the installer before he leaves.
All of our installers are independent contractors who have been working for Eatman's for years. Once your installation is complete, please take time to walk over your areas with the installer to make sure everything is to your satisfaction. If there are any problems during installation or anytime within the warranty period, please call Eatman's immediately. Eatman's warrants its labor for one year from the date of installation.
