"Wyatt did a fantastic job on my family’s new laminate floors. The job was well organized, clean and efficient. Wyatt was courteous to myself and my family’s needs during the project. He never left a mess at the end of the day and communication was easy. I would gladly use Watts Construction on future projects."

"I highly recommend Ken he is an expert carpet installer, a true craftsman. He uses a carpet stretcher, not kicked in, this is important if you don't want to hire someone back in a year to restretch your carpet, after the warranty expires. You also wont be able to find the seams. In addition to being a quality craftsman, he went beyond what I could have expected. I had scheduled my carpet to be installed December 3, on November 28, after a massive windstorm, I had roof and structural damage to my home, after notifying him, he offered to pick up my carpet at a freight company, saving me $25/day storage charges and stored it in his garage, leaving my garage free for materials and workspace needed to repair my home. He checked with me every few days, offering his help with temporary measures to prevent further damage to my home, names of contractors I could trust and moral support in dealing with my insurance company. Twenty days later than I expected he came to install my carpet, that was December 23, having too many sq. yards to install in a day he came back on Christmas Eve, giving up time with his family to complete my installation. On Christmas morning my grandchildren sat on my new carpet opening their gifts. If you need carpet or other flooring installation hire this man you wont be disappointed. Thankyou Ken."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

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.

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.

Installing carpet over carpet may negatively impact the resale value of your home. While it offers a quick fix, potential buyers may view it as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment in quality flooring. Properly installed and maintained flooring adds value to a home, so removing the existing carpet and installing new flooring may be a better option to attract prospective buyers and maximize resale value.

Installing carpet on stairs involves a lot more cutting, tucking, tack strips, and time. The shape of your staircase, along with the material and construction of the carpet you’re installing, will also increase the cost. Carpet installation on stairs will cost $400 to $800 in total, but it can go as high as $2,500 for difficult staircases, such as wrap-around, upholstered, or spiral staircases.
