"Their team reached out within minutes to get project details and had a bid to us a few minutes later. Communication was great. Unfortunately we decided to complete this ourselves."

"I could not have asked for a better flooring installer.  During the bid process Garrett was very open and honest about cost, material requirement, and amount of time for the job.  He was on time everyday, he always answered my calls or called me back as soon as possible, and he always told me his plan for the day.  I never felt out of the loop.
The floor in my house is exactly what I wanted.  Garrett only cared about one thing, and that was quality.  He took his time on every room in the house to make sure the flooring was perfect.  It was straight, there were no marks, and the transitions flowed very well.  He did a job on my stairs that looked I can't even explain, these stairs are going to sell my house they are so nice.  
One great part about the process was the fair pricing.  Garrett only charged me for the boxes of flooring he used, not from an over estimated measurement.  I never felt like he was trying to squeeze a few extra dollars out of me.  If I ever have to use a flooring installer again, I would only go through Shekinah flooring, no question.

"My carpet is old and has been cleaned several times, but Luke got all the old spots out. He went the extra mile in moving the furniture that needed moving and returning it to the correct place. He is the kind of professional you can welcome into your home. I highly recommend him. Rebecca Corbin"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the area size and preparation needed.

Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.

To prevent your dining room carpet from slipping, consider using rug pads or grippers underneath to provide traction and stability. Additionally, ensure the carpet is properly sized and secured to the floor to minimize movement. Regularly check and readjust the rug to maintain its position and safety under your dining room table.

The average cost to install new flooring is around $3,162, with a typical price range between $1,530 and $4,860. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay an average of $3 to $22, including installation. Several factors influence the total price, including the flooring material, project size, geographic location, and any special features. Material choice is a significant cost driver; vinyl plank, linoleum, and carpet are on the lower end ($3 to $7 per square foot), while stone, tile, and hardwood are more expensive, with hardwood reaching up to $22 per square foot. Prices can also vary by region, and installing flooring on stairs will add to the cost, typically ranging from $11 to $160 per step.
