Summary
An interior finishing job that installs carpets and rugs on building floors, balancing aesthetics and functionality.
Description
Carpet installers are specialists who attach carpets or rugs to indoor floor surfaces in homes, offices, and commercial facilities. They clean the substrate, repair unevenness with putty or mortar to smooth it out, apply adhesive, and cut and lay the carpet to the specified dimensions. Seams and edges are carefully processed, with attention to durability, insulation, and soundproofing. They work at new construction or renovation sites, cooperating with site supervisors and other interior contractors for process and quality management.
