What is the longest-lasting carpet?

• <div><p>Nylon carpet is one of the longest-lasting carpet types available. It holds up to wear and tear and resists staining. Plus, its synthetic composition means it’s available in a huge range of colors and styles. Given the choice between low-pile carpet and high-pile carpet, the low-pile carpet will last longer, thanks to its tight loops and dense structure. </p></div>

What do you put under carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.</p></div>

Q: Can I install commercial carpet myself?

• <div><p>DIY installation is challenging; professionals ensure proper fitting, adhesive application, and long-term durability.</p></div>

Q: Can you have carpet without padding?

• <div><p>Technically, you can install carpet without padding. While skipping the padding can help you save on the project, it will make the carpet less comfortable and show uneven spots or imperfections in the subfloor. Because carpet padding protects the back of the carpet from wear, a carpet without padding can wear out faster than one with it. Carpet padding also cuts down on noise, so forgoing it can affect the acoustics in the room.</p></div>

Q: Is carpet glue permanent?

• <div><p>Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is<b> five to 15 years</b>. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.</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.
