Q: Does carpet ruin hardwood stairs?

• <div><p>In most cases, carpeting isn&rsquo;t kind to the wood that it&rsquo;s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.</p></div>

Q: Are carpeted stairs safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood?

• <div><p>Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.</p><p>However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.</p></div>

Q: Do buyers prefer carpet or laminate?

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home&rsquo;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&rsquo;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>

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>

Q: Should you paint baseboards before installing carpet?

• <div><p>You may get better coverage painting your baseboards if you do so before carpet is installed. The best course of action may be to attempt to paint them between having the old floor removed and the new floor laid, though this will render the room unusable for a period of time and may make the entire project a bit slower overall.</p></div>
