Is it easy to remove carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>Taking carpet off stairs is an easy but multi-step process you can usually do yourself. If you have the right tools, time, and oomph to finish the job, removing carpet from stairs can be an easy-to-medium difficulty task, depending on your stairs, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-types-carpet-fibers.htm">type of carpet</a> installed, and how willing you are to get your hands dirty.

Is Berber carpet a good choice for bedrooms?

• <div><p>Berber is a loop pile carpet known for its strength, durability, and distinct looped look. It can be made from a number of different carpet materials, including nylon and wool. However, Berber isn’t as soft as cut pile carpet, so it isn’t the best carpet for a bedroom (although it’s a good style of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-living-room.htm">carpet for living rooms</a>).</p><p>With that said, if you really like the look of Berber, you can still install it in your bedroom—it just might not be as comfortable on your feet as cut pile carpeting.</p></div>

Is carpet nailed or glued?

• <div><p>Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors.

Excellent service. Excellent work. Mr. Kerbel gives great customer service and he did a nice job putting in my wood trim before carpet is laid. I would recommend him to anyone who needs carpentry work.

Great. Did a good job on the install. Very courteous and polite and professional. Cleaned up after the job was done. Vacuumed up all of the "fuzzies" and pieces of old carpet. They could not have been nicer or more helpful. Frank and Luis did an awesome job.
