Customers say: Quality work

"The service was prompt- they showed up on time and did excellent work. I was very pleased with the new hardwood hallway. They also installed indoor-outdoor carpet on my porch and did a neat job. They disposed of the old carpeting and cleaned up all the debris. I was very happy with both the work and the price."

"Contacted Matt based on high marks on Home Advisor. He scheduled an appointment to meet with me at home, brought samples and I contracted for him to do a craft room in vinyl plank and recarpet our bedroom. His quote was fair and reasonable. The day of the job his crew arrived on time, went to work and demonstrated total professionalism. The work was completed in about eight hours. They carefully moved the furniture, removed the existing floor covering and laid quality vinyl plank and Stainmaster carpet beautifully. The plank was the same as the adjacent great room and hall, and it was laid so the boards looked like they were part of the original job. The carpet installation was flawless. They cleaned up very well and removed all of the old materials. Matt's is a first class operation, professional staff who know what they are doing. I have had some bad experiences with service companies in Delmarva and I am a critical customer. Matt met or exceeded all of my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, carpeting isn’t kind to the wood that it’s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

The average cost to install new flooring is around $3,162, with a typical price range between $1,530 and $4,860. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay an average of $3 to $22, including installation. Several factors influence the total price, including the flooring material, project size, geographic location, and any special features. Material choice is a significant cost driver; vinyl plank, linoleum, and carpet are on the lower end ($3 to $7 per square foot), while stone, tile, and hardwood are more expensive, with hardwood reaching up to $22 per square foot. Prices can also vary by region, and installing flooring on stairs will add to the cost, typically ranging from $11 to $160 per step.

The difference between a 40-oz. and 60-oz. carpet is the carpet face weight, meaning the 60-oz. carpet weighs 20 ounces more per square yard. When looking at two similar carpets of the same material and type, the 60-oz. carpet face weight likely indicates higher quality and more durability due to heavier carpet fibers. 

It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.
