Is it better to have carpet or hard floors in bedrooms?

• <div><p>The type of flooring you choose for your bedroom comes down to personal preference. Many people prefer carpet over hard-surface <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-flooring-best-my-home.htm">flooring types</a> (such as hardwood, tile, or stone) in their bedrooms because it’s warmer and cozier. Carpeting also helps muffle sound, which may benefit those who have trouble sleeping.</p><p>On the other hand, some folks prefer the look of hardwood over carpet. People with allergies might also opt for non-carpeted flooring since carpet fibers can attract dust, dander, and other allergens.</p></div>

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>

Q: How do I install carpet padding?

• <div><p>Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">carpet installation costs</a> by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room&rsquo;s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.</p></div>

Q: Is it suitable for every carpet type?

• <div><p>No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.</p></div>

Q: How do you prepare stairs for a stair runner?

• <div><p>If the stairs are already covered in carpet, you will need to remove the old carpet and possibly the carpet pad. Any damage to the stairs like cracks, loose boards, or creaky treads may also need to be repaired. You may also want to sand and refinish or paint wood stairs before installing a carpet runner.</p></div>

On time. Under budget. Better-than-expected results. Jared and his crew are second to none. They turned a blank, boring wall in our house into an amazing bookshelf with built in lighting. Even though I was a smaller job for him, they rolled the red carpet out for us and did an incredible job. If...
