Q: How long should a Berber carpet last?

• <div><p>You may be wondering, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">how long does carpet last</a>? It depends on the type. For your Berber carpet, it should last <b>10 to 15 years</b> with regular cleaning and maintenance. For the longest lifespan possible, you should call in a carpet cleaner for a deep cleaning at least once a year. </p><p>Also, you can opt for higher-quality Berber carpet and underlayment which will last longer. And if you have pets, make sure to house-train them and use extra rugs in areas you expect high foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: What is the best underlayment for carpet on concrete?

• <div><p>The best underlayment for carpet on concrete is a sponge rubber underlayment. This type of carpet padding is durable enough to endure wear and tear on hard concrete yet soft enough to provide comfort underfoot. It also creates insulation from sound and temperature, providing warmth despite the concrete&rsquo;s cold surface.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of hiring professionals for carpet installation compared to doing it yourself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.</p></div>

Q: When should I replace my flooring?

• <div><p>Sometimes, professional floor cleaning isn't enough to remove all the set-in grime and odors that have accumulated over the years. In other instances, your flooring might be nearing the end of its lifespan after more than a decade. If that's the case, it might be time to replace your flooring and start fresh. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-my-new-floor-cost.htm">cost to install flooring</a> ranges from <b>$1,500 to $4,460</b> for a 500-square-foot room. The overall price you pay depends on the size of your room and the flooring type you choose.</p></div>

Q: What rooms should not have carpet?

• <div><p>Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it&rsquo;s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.</p></div>

The project overall went well. I think the issue of the unlevel floor could have been analyzed better before starting to lay the tile, but in the end it was well corrected. All in all I would say Steve did an excellent job. He was careful, honest, reliable and has an excellent work ethic.
