Is it better to have carpet or hard floors in bedrooms?

• <div><p>The type of flooring you choose for your bedroom comes down to personal preference. Many people prefer carpet over hard-surface <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-flooring-best-my-home.htm">flooring types</a> (such as hardwood, tile, or stone) in their bedrooms because it’s warmer and cozier. Carpeting also helps muffle sound, which may benefit those who have trouble sleeping.</p><p>On the other hand, some folks prefer the look of hardwood over carpet. People with allergies might also opt for non-carpeted flooring since carpet fibers can attract dust, dander, and other allergens.</p></div>

How much does it cost to install new flooring?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-my-new-floor-cost.htm">cost to install flooring</a> is <b>$2,990</b> on average, but the price range is between <b>$1,500 and $4,460</b>. You can expect to pay about <b>$12.50 per square foot</b>, but that can go as high as <b>$22</b> per square foot for hardwood flooring. </p><p>Factors like the size of your floor, the materials, and your geographic location will impact the total price. For example, the average cost of new flooring in Boston is between <b>$1,200 and $3,250</b> while you can expect to pay between <b>$2,000 and $5,700</b> for new flooring in Los Angeles. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a transition between carpet stairs and wood flooring?

• <div><p>A transition piece between carpet stairs and wood flooring isn't always necessary. A transition piece separates two types of flooring in between rooms and areas, like carpet and vinyl. Because the carpet on the stairs tucks into the seam, you can&rsquo;t see the fringes, and there is no need to hide anything. However, you can use a stair cap if your stairs have a nose.</p></div>

Q: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>

Q: How do various elements influence the cost of commercial carpet installation?

• <div><p>Costs depend on carpet quality, labor, underlayment, and furniture moving requirements.</p></div>

Trent and Matt installed an irrigation sprinkler system and 5 tree installation. I am continuing with them for landscape maintenance. From start to finish I received a professional job. The quote was reasonable and I believe was well worth what I paid. Nice people to work with.

They were great. During the install our power had to be turned off (due to some electrical work also occurring). They came back and finished up the next day with no extra charge. Everything was installed exactly as we had talked about. Very friendly and professional.
