How long does it take to install flooring?

• <div><p>It takes about one to three days for a two-person crew to lay 800 to 1,000 square feet of flooring daily. Remember that removal of existing flooring and additional prep work is considered during this time, and it’s likely that you won’t be able to pass through the room easily. In addition, you can expect lots of hammering and other noise from power tools during installation, so it’s best to plan accordingly.</p></div>

Q: What is the best color carpet for high-traffic areas?

• <div><p>There are a couple of color options to consider when installing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-high-traffic-areas.htm">carpet in high-traffic areas</a> (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it&rsquo;s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.</p></div>

Q: Do flooring companies recycle old carpet when it's replaced?

• <div><p>Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.</p></div>

Q: Can you negotiate on carpet prices?

• <div><p>Yes, you can negotiate the purchase price of new carpet. You may also be able to negotiate installation costs or other fees in addition to the per-foot pricing of the carpet itself. You may have better luck negotiating with an independent retailer (as opposed to a big-box store), as they may have more discretion in pricing, but it&rsquo;s always worth asking. </p></div>

Q: Will installing carpet over carpet affect the warranty of the new carpet?

• <div><p>Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.</p></div>
