Every carpet business has its own rules, regulations, and procedures they follow.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of why most companies refuse third-party product installations and prefer bundling the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/resources\/how-much-does-carpet-cost\/\">cost for carpet, padding, and installation<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Measurements<\/strong>:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Were the rooms properly measured? Is there enough product to fulfill the spaces intended? If you don\u2019t have enough carpet\u00a0or the measurements are off, then the installation can not take place or could be botched. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Design\/Pattern<\/strong>:<\/span> This somewhat goes hand-in-hand with measurements<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the design is meant to run in a certain direction (vertical, not horizontal) and the\u00a0carpet was cut a certain way, this would be difficult to correct. The installation could be tricky, or even messy once installed. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Dyelot<\/strong>:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> On some occasions, when carpet\u00a0and flooring products are reproduced, coloring or shades are slightly off. Unless the installation is completely fulfilled, then it\u2019s chancing whether or not the next batch will be the exact same color. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Warranty<\/strong>:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A very important part of any flooring purchase. \u00a0A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/manufacturer-vs-installer-carpet-warranty\">carpet warranty<\/a> is voided when carpet is purchased from one vendor and installed by another<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Storage<\/strong>:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How flooring was stored (climate, area, level of dust and other specifications that can change and alter texture, as well as condition of flooring)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 style=\"padding-bottom: 7px;\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/outsource-carpet.jpg\" alt=\"third party carpet\" width=\"775\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/outsource-carpet.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/outsource-carpet-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"padding-bottom: 7px;\">Benefits of Buying from a Full-Service Carpet Company<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let outsourcing a third party carpet installation fool you.
