Should flooring installers be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local general contractor guidelines. </p><p>Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. </p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:</p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

Q: Are nylon carpets suitable for homes with allergies?

• <div><p>Yes, nylon carpets are suitable for homes with allergies due to their hypoallergenic properties. Nylon fibers are resistant to mold and mildew growth, minimizing allergen accumulation in the carpet. Additionally, nylon carpets are often treated to repel moisture and stains, further reducing the risk of allergens and promoting a healthier indoor environment for allergy sufferers.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have carpet or wood on stairs?

• <div><p>Hard materials like wood or vinyl flooring on stairs can look great but can also be slippery, posing a risk of injury. On the other hand, carpet often has much more traction, is a lot softer and cushioned, and is still aesthetically pleasing. With all this in mind, carpet is the ideal choice for stairs. </p></div>

Q: Are stairs safer with or without carpet?

• <div><p>In some cases, stairs without carpet are actually slipperier than carpeted stairs, but if the carpet is brand new, dirty, or just slick, it may seem like your stairs are the most slippery ones in existence. Fortunately, traction treads can be added over most stair surface materials, increasing the traction you&rsquo;re able to get and reducing the risk of slipping. </p></div>

Q: How do you measure stairs for a carpet runner?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you&rsquo;d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.</p></div>

Since we did not know the color of carpet when the estimate was drawn up, one was picked to complete the estimate. We did pick another color weeks before the installation but this didn't get passed on to the installation order and they brought out the wrong color carpet. When the carpet was...

I don't have experience with other companies as to rating their prices. I don't ask them to move furniture when they clean. I have used this company as "Chuck Rutten's Steamaster, LLC" for carpet cleaning for 7 or 8 years. Two employees come and they are always punctual and courteous. The...

Since this was a repair, Mr King dropped by to assess what needed to be done. It was immediately determined that the previous installer had a too hot of an iron and the seam tape stuck to itself causing the ridge. When the crew arrived, they pulled back the dining room half of the carpet,...
