"Our last coat (3rd) of polyurethane went on today and we literally just spent 15 minutes walking around our house and admiring the absolute beautiful job that Best Choice did with our floors. Easily the best upgrade to our home we could have done. Other companies that quoted us said that they would not be able to get the bevels out of the pre treated boards installed in our house or get the color we wanted because of that. Best Choice Flooring not only was able to achieve that beautifully but at also a competitive price. Already recommending them to family and friends."

"You can not go wrong with Dustin (owner) or Joe (The Tile Doctor). They both are amazing, timely, very knowledgeable professionals, friendly and polite. Did I mention they show up and also clean up? They are so refreshing In contrast to a contractor we have previously used. Do yourself a favor and donâ t let their young looks fool you. They are wise in their trades beyond their years. Our tile shower and luxury vinyl floor look amazing!"

"I really like the flooring, but I feel like the agent give me a quote for more square footage then what was needed making the price higher then what it was. So it made me think that I was being over charged for square footage that wasn?t correct. I haven?t made a decision yet."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

Hardwood offers the highest ROI at around 75%. Engineered hardwood, tile, reclaimed wood, and laminate also increase a home’s value but with lower ROIs. Lighter tiles tend to increase a home’s value slightly more than darker tiles. Taking the ROI into account when you choose flooring can increase your home value and allow you to recoup some or all of the cost to install it.

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

Houses naturally settle over time, but they should settle uniformly with no apparent settling in one spot. If your floor is uneven but only in a particular area of your home, differential settlement could be the problem. This can be caused by improper drainage, erosion, expanding soil, earthquake activity, or poor construction techniques.
