Default installing carpet

I am thinking about installing my own carpet. Has anyone done this themselves. I have done everything in my house myself, but this is one of those things that I think may be worth the installation cost, however, I would like to save some money and do it myself.

If anyone is an expert on carpet please give me your advise.

I am not an expert in installing carpets but I have been doing it at home.

What I do is that I always put a little allowance for the sides because what I have noticed before, the carpet shrinks after a few weeks that it has been installed. I also put rugby to glue it on, just to put it in place during the first few weeks.

The main advice I would give is to roll the carpet out fully to make sure you have it positioned to cover the whole floor. I have been amazed in the past to find people not rolling out the carpet fully and finding later during the fitting that they don't have enough carpet at one wall.

Hello guys,
I'm looking for a company that's nation wide that installs carpet at reasonable prices.


Anyone have some websites they would like to share?
