Installation

Chisum’s Floor Covering offers professional residential flooring installation

Since 1965, Chisum’s Floor Coverings has provided beautiful flooring and skilled installations to the area around Ojai, including Oak View, Santa Paula, Meiners Oaks, Santa Barbara, and Ventura County. The goal of Chisum’s installation team is to leave no trail; all you should see when you look at an installation is the flooring, not the clever skills of installers.

Once you have made your flooring selection, we will professionally measure the area receiving the floor, so we can give you an accurate estimate. The measurements are also used by our installation team to plan how to lay the flooring –where seams and joins go, pattern diagrams for tile or how the direction of the carpet’s nap should go.

Preparing for your flooring installation

There are many things the homeowner can do to make sure the installation starts outright. Recommendations may vary depending on the materials being installed, but these pointers apply to most:

• Arrange your schedule so you will be at home during the installation, occasions arise where you may be asked to OK last-minute changes
  
• Children and pets do not belong at an installation; please plan for them to be kept safely away
  
• The installers will need a cleared workspace adjacent to the installation
  
• All appliances, furnishings, and furniture needs to be removed from the installation area; remember that all propane or natural gas appliance must be disconnected and reconnected by a professional
  
• If you live in a gated or secure community, alert security that there will be delivery trucks and installers arriving; collect rearview mirror hangers or other passes as necessary –if you give us a call we can come and pick them up ahead of time
  
• If wood flooring is being installed, it may be delivered well before the installation to acclimate to the temperature and humidity in your house; this averts issues with splitting and warping, and keeps the warranty in place
