Laying It Down Right: The Master's Guide to Carpet Installation is a straight-talking field manual for the people who actually crawl the rooms and carry the rolls. T.J. Spracklin has spent decades on his knees with a knife in his hand—hotels, casinos, offices, showrooms, homes, and everything in between. In this book, he distills those years of experience into clear, no-nonsense guidance that helps you install better floors, avoid expensive mistakes, and build a name people trust. This isn't a glossy manufacturer brochure or a training guide written by someone who's only ever touched a trowel in a photo. It's a working installer's view of the trade, built around real jobs, real screwups, and the habits that separate hacks from craftsmen. Inside you'll find: How to think like a master installer, not just a pair of hands Practical advice on tools, layout, subfloor prep, seams, stretching, and stairs How to work in occupied buildings without driving staff and residents crazy How to handle problem jobs, callbacks, and "mystery" failures Checklists you can actually use on site to keep standards consistent "Job Notes" from real projects that show where things go wrong—and how to fix them Guidance on pricing, clients, and protecting your margins so the numbers make sense Long-game advice on health, crew, and reputation so you can stay in the trade without wrecking your body or your name Whether you're: A helper just starting out, A working installer who wants to tighten up your game, or An owner, GC, or facility manager who actually cares what's under people's feet, this book will help you see floors the way a master installer sees them. You don't have to be famous to be a master. You just need a standard you don't back away from when the room gets tight, the schedule gets ugly, or your knees start talking. Laying It Down Right will show you how to build that standard—and keep it—one corridor, one room, and one seam at a time.
