You are exactly right a good job is in every little bitty thing about the job not just the big thing about the job. All of the little things. Add up to be a great job.
Very smart to run the row down the middle so your doors are straight and you can run a row on those. Hopefully you’re getting paid well because we both know this takes twice as much time as straight edging and tracing with top cutter
Yeah, it’s pretty crazy how many installers will seam the doorways before even a single stretch. The problem with that is if you properly stretch the carpet afterwards, you will definitely get bubbles in the carpet everywhere. That’s why those who do so don’t get a good stretch on the carpet and wrinkles appear within a few months.
I get what your doing, I do the same with prints. But wouldn't of been quicker with the same results by just staying off the doorways row cutting each one separate. Then buring the doorway? looks like the bedrooms are straight drops with plenty of wiggle room to move the carpet around to line up the seams.
@FloorsbySouthernboys but on that type of carpet what difference does it make? Around here, houses are not square at all. Many have been added on two or three times by the owners and friends and are way out of square. How is being square with this type of carpet going to add to the quality or the life of the carpet?
@@chrissheafer yeah I get you, it ain’t gonna add to the quality of the life for sure what I was referring to is it running off of the wall and being short. But nonetheless, I just feel better if stuff is at least fairly straight. I couldn’t put a room of carpet in with one corner flush and 6 inches up the wall on the other end of the room. I just could not stand that it would drive me bonkers, lol
Watching someone as picky and perfectionist as me is very therapeutic! Some guys just don't get the small details make the biggest difference.

If you fold carpet back and measure at each end of hall as long as there the same measurements should be good that’s what I do but good job anyway
Yup
That carpet I’ve had to double tackstrip everything. Or it likes to wrinkle on all the edges later on
Doing that thing like a pattern lol, pretty serious work for a cut pile, nice
I always do it like that so I can keep everything row cut and I don’t have to straight edge anything
Yeah doorways are the only thing I cheat on sometimes, I'll row one side and straight edge the other
@@jonathancowdin3775 a lot of people do that
👍🏻
😀👍

Yep, this little house paid me $2,646.20 but like you said, it took me two days to do it

Yeah, but you’re still gonna get the hallway straight or the bedrooms could run off.
