"The company responded very fast to my request for new carpeting. The gentleman arrived within 4 days to give an estimate, which was actually VERY reasonable compared to other estimates! The crew arrived to carpet my living room and three bedrooms within one week of the estimate (total time for the entire process including the request for work/estimate/completion-less than 2 weeks). I did have to schedule a follow-up to correct a few small errors (tack strip with exposed tacks-and two spots where the carpet did not connect flush with the wall). Repair work was a little slower than the original job, a total of three weeks to get the repairs-which was finished in less than 2 hours. All in all, I am very pleased with this LOCAL company and the final project is very nice. I WILL consider this company for any future carpet work I require."

"Huey showed up on time and did an excellent job. Additionally, they cleaned up after the job and all for a competitive price. After meeting with several contractors, Hueys honesty and integrity stood out for me. I would highly recommend Huey?s and will definitely use them for any flooring needs in the future."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you need to install carpet padding. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

Yes. When installed properly, the strong adhesive on carpet tiles keeps them in place while also allowing homeowners the flexibility to peel up an individual tile and replace it if they need to. It’s important to keep in mind that the adhesive on your carpet tiles may take some time to cure, so it’s best to leave them alone for a couple of days after you first install them.

Nylon carpet is widely considered one of the most durable and longest-lasting options, typically lasting 12 to 15 years. Its durability comes from its high resistance to wear, tear, stains, fading, and abrasions. It also resists liquid spills, insects, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. For even greater longevity, frieze or Berber carpets are excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years.

Beyond the material, a carpet's construction is key to its durability. Low-pile carpets with short, tight loops hold up better against wear than high-pile options. As a synthetic material, nylon is available in a vast range of colors and styles and often feels remarkably soft.

Carpet installation typically starts with removing the old flooring, preparing the subfloor, laying underpadding for cushioning, and securing the new carpet with tack strips, making precise cuts to fit room dimensions.
