My wife and I were very pleased with the services provided by Premier Flooring. Tim and Todd were very accommodating in helping us to find the best carpeting for our home at a very extremely competitive price. While Premier Flooring has a small shop compared to others, they can provide you with about any brand or type of flooring product.  But, the most important part of any flooring project is the installation, and Todd the installer was exceptional.  We chose carpeting with a pattern without knowing it requires a little extra effort to make sure the pattern lines up correctly.  Fortunately, Todd had the experience and pride of workmanship to make sure the splices all lined up correctly.  Even though the project took more time than originally anticipated, Todd didn't cut corners just to get it. done, and that reflects what he knows is the expectation of the owner.  What really matters is when it is all done and your wife turns to you and says  "Honey, this really exceeded all my expectations!".

"Nicole came to me on a Sunday because I had an emergency. I had spilled dark blue paint all over my new beige carpet. She was professional, yet very personable. When she was finished I was amazed that she got the carpet so clean! I will definitely call The Show Room again, and give their name to my friends."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Carpet installation costs include carpet type (material, weave), room size, subfloor preparation, and labor costs. Getting multiple quotes provides a clearer picture of expected expenses.

Costs depend on carpet quality, labor, underlayment, and furniture moving requirements.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

Choosing the right carpet involves assessing room usage, desired comfort levels, durability requirements, and stylistic preferences. Carpet fiber types and density should also be considered during the decision-making process.
