Laying carpet involves several steps to ensure a smooth and professional finish. First, the area is prepared by removing any existing flooring and thoroughly cleaning the subfloor. Next, underlay is installed to provide cushioning and support for the carpet. The carpet is then carefully measured and cut to fit the room, leaving extra material for trimming. Once cut, the carpet is stretched and secured along the edges using tack strips. Any seams are joined using special tape or adhesive. Finally, the edges are trimmed, and the carpet is vacuumed to remove any loose fibers.
Installing doors requires careful measurement and alignment to ensure proper functionality. First, the old door is removed, and the door frame is inspected for any damage or irregularities. Next, the new door is test-fitted and adjusted as needed to ensure it fits snugly within the frame. Hinges are then attached to the door and frame, and the door is hung in place. Once the door swings freely and closes properly, the hardware such as handles and locks are installed. Finally, any necessary adjustments are made to ensure the door operates smoothly and securely.
