"Kelvin was prompt - cleaned up after himself. Very pleasant to have him work for me. They were quite affordable and didn't waste time. My bathroom now looks like a new room. He put down new laminate flooring, painted the walls, hung the medicine cabinet, put toilet in and installed it as well as put the new vanity in. I will hire again."

"The job came out beautifully. I had my whole house redone with LVP, my kitchen redone with Ceramic tile, and had two bedrooms repainted. Ruben was very professional and completed the job in a timely manner. I would 100% go through them again and 10 out of 10 HIGHLY recommend!"

"My flooring.com made it so easy to replace all our downstairs carpet. I love the quality of carpet they have to choose from. The customer service was excellent! Everything was explained upfront and the follow-thru was amazing! The installation team was on time, friendly and hard working! Our job went so well, my son used my flooring.com to replace all his carpet too! I am planning on doing the upstairs carpet and will be using my flooring.com for that too!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

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.

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.

Professional installation ensures seamless fitting, extended carpet life, and compliance with workplace standards.

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.
