Giant Don's Flooring America has been owned and operated in Alaska by Alaskans for nearly 30 years. We have one of the the largest selection in Anchorage and it is part of the largest cooperative of independent private dealerships in the world.

"I went to Giant Don’s in March 2022. When I was connected with a salesperson, I was very specific that I wanted LVP. The salesperson took me to the LVP area. I found several pieces that I liked and took the samples home. I selected the one that I like best. I went back to the store and showed the salesperson what I selected. At mo time did then salesperson state that the flooring was not LVP. The salesperson did indicate that that particular vinyl required different installation. This was my first time selecting flooring. I ordered the flooring on March 26, 2022. One month later I was informed that they did not have enough of this flooring in stock and it would have to be manufactured and it would be 6-8 weeks for delivery. I finally received the flooring in late May. When my installer saw the flooring he informed me that the flooring was not LVP and the method for install would be totally different than LVP. He stated that it was flooring for more industrial use, like a hospital. He also stated it would be a longer install process than LVP, which would increase the price significantly. I contacted Giant Don’s. They came and picked it up. When I purchased the flooring, my daughter was with me (thankfully). There was a problem with my new payment card (Apple Card). My daughter had me put it on her card (REI bennies!!!). I then got home and transferred the funds to my daughter’s account. Now I am trying to get a refund. Because the charges were put on my daughter’s account she contacted Giant Don’s and she wanted them to just give the refund to me since I paid my daughter in full. The salesperson took the credit receipt showing 1 refund for Alterna in the amount of $10,780.45, please issue check. When the salesperson took the credit receipt for approval she was told that could not happen. I spoke with some higher up person and he said they could not give the funds to me and the he said, I could not be given a full refund, and it could not be given to me, even though they have all of the flooring and will be selling it at some point. I told him that I could give him proof that I paid my daughter. He stated it made no difference. Giant Don’s stated that they had to send the check to my daughter. Giant Don’s management said they were going to call me last Wednesday, June 22, to date, no call. Today I was looking at Giant Don’s web site and something caught my eye. They give a 5% senior discount! Not to me and I am 74 years old. Giant Don’s did not do the installation."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

Carpeting has a few benefits on stairs in addition to being a cost-effective floor covering. It absorbs sound, dampening footsteps. It also provides additional traction, which is especially important if you install linoleum floors, epoxy flooring, or any other floor covering that can become slippery if you’re wearing socks. Therefore, carpets can help prevent slips. 

If the stairs are already covered in carpet, you will need to remove the old carpet and possibly the carpet pad. Any damage to the stairs like cracks, loose boards, or creaky treads may also need to be repaired. You may also want to sand and refinish or paint wood stairs before installing a carpet runner.

Yes, installing or replacing carpet yourself is a challenging DIY project. It involves multiple steps, including the removal of old flooring, underlayment and tack strip installation, careful measuring, and stretching the carpet to prevent it from wrinkling or puckering. Expect to spend at least four days installing carpet if you decide to do it yourself.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.
