Can I install carpet myself?

<div><p>While it’s possible to install carpet yourself, it’s best to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/carpet-installation/">local carpet installer</a> to ensure it’s done correctly and safely. Before installing carpet yourself, check whether the manufacturer’s warranty will remain intact. Many manufacturer’s warranties won’t cover the cost of materials under the warranty if it wasn’t installed by a pro. In addition, you should only install carpet yourself if you’re familiar with the tools required and if the installation is straightforward, not involving things such as floor vents or stairs. </p></div>

How do I keep my new carpet clean?

<div><p>Keeping your new carpet clean is vital to extending its longevity. Vacuuming regularly—at least once a week—can help remove dirt, debris, and pet hair.

Q: What is the average lifespan of carpet?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Carpets can last</a> between <b>five and 15 years</b>. The longevity of your carpet is dependent on a few factors, including its type, cushion, fibers, and amount of foot traffic. The type of carpet you have paired with the material impacts its life span tremendously and the foot traffic it endures.</p><p>If your carpet is 20 years or older, replace it soon to avoid potential odors and overly-worn spots. You should consider replacing it sooner if it has stains, water damage, smelly odor, matting, or color loss.</p></div>

I found the same quality carpet for a lower price and decided to go with that company because of budget considerations. I will definitely get an estimate from Carpet One when ordering flooring in the future.

The install date was given by the sales person as 10/13, however they didn't start until 10/14. My floors were very uneven so there was a lot of patching that needed to be done. This made the job more complicated and extended the time needed to complete it. I was very pleased that they didn't...

It went really well. We like the indoor carpet and pad. It both looks much better and feels better than the carpet replaced. The outdoor carpet on the porch also looks good. Installers were careful, did a good job, made an effort to stretch the carpet, and cleaned up after themselves.

nthsI really appreciated that Cindi did not try to push me into buying "right now", as so many sales people do. She was warm, friendly, and very helpful. She will get the sale from me in a few months.

I loved working with Josh, Ben, Jake & the team. Slight miscalculation in the tile ordered so had to wait 2 weeks for the last 2 pieces of shower floor tile. So installation took longer than planned. We had different installers for the jobs as they were months apart.

"All is beautiful. Carpet Plus was able to lay my wood floors alongside existing tile floors with a long curve. 4 other companies told me it could not be done and the curve would have to straightened. They were wonderful to work with. We are extremely happy with the result!"
