"As a long-distance landlord, I was surprised with an impromptu need of new flooring between tenants (4 bedroom single family residence neighborhood), stripped without notice. Explaining my situation to Issac (owner), he not only understood the importance of longevity and quality product...he also accommodated my needs in prioritizing his time to find, order and install carpet within my budget. Adam (Project Coordinator) was also proactive to schedule the shortest duration of time he could manage. *Start to finish, my experience with Floor Coverings International was seamless - their customer service communication, perfect. I have no hesitation referring this team to provide personalized service to help their customer. A++ Thank you so much for your services!"

"Building Legacies Handyman Service installed my bathroom mirror perfectly at a very affordable price. He ensured it was level, securely mounted, and positioned exactly where I wanted it. Their service was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, and they left the bathroom spotless after completing the job. Highly recommended to anyone for big or small jobs!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

The complexity of installation depends on the type of flooring you choose and the level of expertise required to install it. While some materials, like vinyl or laminate, offer relatively straightforward installation processes suitable for DIY enthusiasts, others, such as natural stone or hardwood, often require professional assistance from a flooring company to ensure proper fitting and longevity.

Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.

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.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

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 carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’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.
