"Of course! Here’s your revised review: We had a fantastic experience with Ocean Flooring! They were able to fit us in quickly, and their team was incredibly professional. The flooring crew was so careful and conscientious—protecting our existing floors and taking great care of our home. They even brought a special floor cutter that created absolutely no dust, which was a huge plus. The price was extremely good for the quality of work we received. The team was hardworking, organized, and very tidy, making sure to clean up and take all the debris with them. Our new floors look absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Ocean Flooring for anyone looking for reliable and top-quality work at a great price!"

"My husband and I finally came around to updating our flooring and found Carpeteria Carpet One through a friend that had previously used them (and was beyond happy). We could not say better things about our experience with this location and the service. Gary helped us through the entire process and not only made us feel at ease, but gave us unbeatable pricing. The staff was knowledgable and truly listened to what we were looking for regards to types of carpet and of course accommodating our budget. The entire process from the service, to the installation, and the final product was beyond seamless and refreshing. Thank you Carpeteria Carpet One!

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a couple of color options to consider when installing carpet in high-traffic areas (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it’s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.

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.

Whether or not transition pieces go under the baseboard depends on a few different factors. If the transitions are being installed with the flooring and before the baseboards, then they will go under the baseboards. If the baseboards are already installed, then it depends on whether or not you want to remove them or undercut them. If not, the transition pieces can butt up against the baseboard.

Experts advise that replacing carpeting can bring a 50% to 80% return on investment. However, new carpeting doesn’t necessarily add value to your overall home value. Because flooring value heavily depends on taste, it can be tricky to determine whether new carpet will increase your home sale price. Carpeting tends to be a renovation that increases overall comfort and aesthetics for your home, but it’s not a big factor in value.

As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.

Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don’t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a local garage flooring pro with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.
