Q: What do you put under carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you&rsquo;ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that&rsquo;s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won&rsquo;t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.</p></div>

Q: How long does commercial carpet installation take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on space size and complexity.</p></div>

Q: How do you measure stairs for a carpet runner?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you&rsquo;d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.</p></div>

Q: Can furniture sliders be used on carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, in most cases, you can use furniture sliders on carpeting. However, it&rsquo;s best to seek out furniture sliders that are specifically meant for carpeting, or a larger size of slider that the furniture won&rsquo;t slip off of as easily. Many varieties of furniture sliders are versatile enough to use on carpeting, hardwood, or tile floors. </p></div>

Q: How do you clean a subfloor after removing the carpet?

• <div><p>Start by removing any debris, nails, or staples left behind from the old carpet. Next, thoroughly vacuum the subfloor to eliminate dust, dirt, and loose particles. If adhesive residue remains, consider using an adhesive remover or scraper to lift it off gently. You can also use a sander. Finally, wipe down the subfloor using a damp rag to ensure all remaining dirt and residue is gone.</p></div>

it is 100 degrees outside today and our second floor is 73 degrees! Before we had this wonderful company add insulation it was 85 degrees outside and 80 degrees inside. Mike and his crew knew what we needed and fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. Absolutely would hire them again!

He came when promised. He reset the hardware on the doors, ensuring their setting and tightness. Then he rehung the doors and re-installed on of the floor guides. He spent about thirty minutes doing so which was quicker than I could have done it back in the day.

Of the 8 flooring companies that I contacted only 3 responded. In case you think it was for something unusual, it was bamboo floor installation.
