Do buyers prefer carpet or laminate?

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home’s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer’s personal preferences. With that said, laminate can increase the resale value of a home by a tiny bit, whereas carpet does not. Hardwood increases the resale value by the highest amount.</p></div>

How much does carpet installation cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">cost to install carpet</a> is <b>$1,780</b> on average for 330 square feet, the size of an average living room. This cost could range from <b>$200 to $5,000</b>, depending on the amount of carpet, material, and type of carpet. </p><p>If you need 500 square feet of carpet, it’ll cost<b> $1,500 to $5,500, </b>while 1,000 square feet of carpet costs<b> $3,000 to $11,000</b>. Polyester is one of the more affordable options, ranging from <b>$1 to $3 per square foot</b>. Wool is a more luxurious option, ranging from <b>$4 to $20</b> <b>per square foot</b>. </p></div>

Can I reuse materials like blankets and towels for floor protection?

• <div><p>It’s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won’t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They’re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up—and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.</p></div>

Q: Is installing carpet hard?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-carpet.htm">installing or replacing carpet yourself</a> is a challenging DIY project.

Q: What is the cheapest DIY flooring?

• <div><p>Sheet vinyl is the cheapest DIY flooring, depending on the brand, style, and quality you choose. Not only is it one of the most affordable flooring products on the market, but it is also easy for most homeowners to install, as it only requires cutting, trimming, and gluing down to the existing floor surface. Some sheet vinyl manufacturers make a loose-lay sheet vinyl flooring that does not even need to be glued.</p><p>Carpet squares, tile stickers, painting or stenciling existing tile floors, and painting existing concrete flooring are also affordable options for DIY flooring.</p></div>

I don’t know what happened but we started off very well. They finished the project but left one piece undone on my flooring and never came back to get the scraps in my backyard.

Fabulous job at an honest price! Repaired/replaced toilet, flange, subflooring and vinyl flooring in 4 days! I'm planning on re-hiring for more jobs in the future. They were neat and tidy, very considerate and left my home cleaner than when they arrived. Many thanks, guys!

They were very eager to start the job and they keep our house clean. They laid plastic over our floors so insulation did not get on the carpet. This was a good experience for us since we are new to this area. I would recommend Walker to everyone.
