Q: What is the price range for installing carpet per square foot?

• <div><p>Depending on carpet type and labor, costs range from $3 to $12 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Can you make a crawl space liveable?

• <div><p>Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable. </p></div>

Q: What is carpet density?

• <div><p>Carpet density refers to how closely together the fibers of a carpet are stitched into the carpet backing, with values ranging from 1,000 to 7,000. A carpet density value of 3,000 or higher is considered best for most homes, especially in high-traffic areas, such as a living room or dining room. If you&rsquo;re comparing two carpets made of the same material, a higher carpet density can indicate better durability and longevity. However, carpet density is only one of many factors that can help you determine a carpet&rsquo;s quality.</p></div>

Q: Should I glue down my carpet tiles?

• <div><p>Carpet tiles come with a preexisting adhesive backing, which means installing them is as simple as peeling off the paper and sticking them down where they need to go. In other words, no. You won&rsquo;t need to purchase any separate glue to get your carpet squares situated. It&rsquo;s already built into the carpet tile itself.</p></div>

Two men arrived on time, 8:30 a.m, took a review of where the carpet would be, went to work and completed the job around noon. They were friendly, but professional.

The salesman, Taylor, was patient with us picking out a nice texture and feel. It's very nice stuff and very resilient and cushy. Their service has been wonderful. As we learned to care for the floor they continue to answer questions and return phone calls.

Installation of all types of floors and carpet. We guarantee your satisfaction, and we won't leave until the job is done right. 10 years of experience.

"Mr. Mendez and his crew were excellent! Communication was great! They took all the old tile flooring up in the kitchen, laundry room, and 1 bathroom then applied a leveling mud. After this they installed all new Laminate water proof flooring in the living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, 1 bathroom, and 2 bedrooms. And then they installed quarter round in all these areas. They did a great job of moving big pieces of furniture or appliances around to complete the install. And, they cleaned everything up! They did all of this in 1 1/2 days. Their price was far below any competing contractors. I would hire them again! Outstanding!"
