Q: Are stairs safer with carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, carpeted stairs are safer because carpet helps reduce the chances of slips and falls compared to harder materials like wood, vinyl, tile, or steel staircases, which lack the friction needed for a secure tread. And, if you do happen to fall, carpeted stairs also have more cushioning in the case of an accident.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to lay carpet or carpet tiles?

• <div><p>Carpet tiles are less expensive than traditional carpet. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">cost of carpet installation</a> is $1,800, or $3 to $11 per square foot. In comparison, carpet tiles cost $2.50 to $11 apiece and can often be bought in bulk cartons. Since you can more easily DIY carpet tiles, you may be able to save on installation costs, too. </p></div>

Q: Is it normal for a carpet to bubble?

• <div><p>If you live in a region with high humidity, carpet bubbling can occur regularly. A dehumidifier can help keep your carpet flat during the most humid months.</p></div>

Q: How do you install carpet without a stretcher?

• <div><p>The knee kicker tool that attaches carpet to tack strips offers some stretching capabilities, so you can use this and your own arm strength to stretch out thinner carpets across a room. But you should buy or rent a stretcher for the best possible carpet application. If you don&rsquo;t want to buy or rent a stretcher, it may be worth it to skip the DIY and leave this job to the pros or risk shortening the life of your new carpet by installing it without a stretcher.</p></div>

Q: When should I repair versus replace my carpet?

• <div><p>Since carpet can be expensive to install and choosing a new carpet can seem daunting, it&rsquo;s important to know when to repair your existing carpet versus replacing it.</p><p>If the damage to your carpet Is extensive, such as large sections needing to be replaced, it might be best to replace it. Likewise, if your carpet damage is due to water damage, it might be best to replace the entire carpet to avoid mold problems. Consider repairing your carpet when the damage is localized to one spot or when the damaged carpet is in a low-traffic area of your home. </p></div>

We were very impressed with Joe and his remodeling company. The final decision between contractors came down to Sattler's policy of not providing as detailed a breakdown of the price estimate (as we prefer) as well as a 10% higher cost. From start to finish of our contacts with Joe Sattler...

As with the first time I used Carpet Surgeon, they were excellent. I was able to schedule the cleaning/stretching within a week of my call. Nick and Jacob showed up on time and produced an estimate within ten minutes. They were friendly, worked efficiently and the price was fair (good value.)

Pat is very nice and did an excellent job making our carpet look better. He even did our front step carpet on his way out the door. That saved us from having to replace it.
