What are carpet contractors?

Carpet dealers help homeowners choose the correct carpet covering for their floors, and also assist with carpet maintenance. This includes determining factors like material, carpet pile, durability, color and size, as well as helping with any custom carpet design. After completing the initial installation (which includes removal of the old flooring, if applicable, and surface prep), they may also handle follow-up maintenance requests such as carpet cleaning, carpet repair and carpet stretching.

Carpet dealers might work closely with contractors, interior designers and others in the home building and home improvement industry.
