How long does carpet protection last?

• <div><p>You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-clean-and-revive-carpet-pile.htm">revive your carpet</a>. </p></div>

Do buyers prefer carpet or laminate?

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home’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’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: Do you put anything under carpet tiles?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don&rsquo;t need to put anything under carpet tiles&mdash;unlike regular carpet, which often has a layer of carpet padding beneath it. Carpet tiles attach directly to the floor (as long as it&rsquo;s a firm surface like plywood, concrete, or tile) with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or carpet glue.</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>

Dennis was awesome. Gave me a quote within 24 hours, showed up to every appointment early, and the craftsmanship is beautiful. He installed Shiplap in my new home on several walls - gorgeous. Highly recommend and will hire him again!

Outstanding. John took all the components out of the new box and installed them in the old box because it would take him less time to do it this way. He also asked if that was okay before moving forward with that. He wasn't looking to milk the job. He was looking for the most efficient way to...

Perfect. The installed price matched the initial phone quote I received. The technician, Mikhail, even moved some of our junk out of his way. I will use them again. I like the fact that they have been around for 30+ years.

Door is fine. Looks good. Works well. Installation appears very good. Contractor came when promised. My unhappiness, and the reason for lower than A rating, stems from having all the contents of the garage shoveled out into a heavy rain storm when I couldn't get the garage cleared fast enough to...

They did such a great job on the tile floor! We had a carpet spot from dog vomit that had just happened the day before they came, and they cleaned that area for us for an additional charge. Which was a fair price and it turned out very well. They were so helpful and knowledgeable. We would...
