"I have recently moved and I have two cats. One of them was going through some health issues and so I needed carpet cleaning. It is a light-colored carpet, so I was very concerned about stains and lingering odors. Al came in and cleaned the carpet perfectly, no stains no odor! To top it off my cat loved him!"

"Oscar Sr. and Oscar Jr. are an incredible team. Both are very personable and knowledgeable in their trade. They did a great job removing our old carpet, and installing the new carpet. They rolled up all the old carpet and taped each roll to keep it together, and helped me put it all on a cart so I could take it to the street on garbage day. They helped us move big furniture out of the room and then back in after the carpet was installed. Awesome guys and we highly recommend them."

"When Tom showed me how much dirt his machine removed from our carpets, I couldn t believe it. We chose the Chem-Dry service because we didn t want harmful chemicals in our house. We couldn t be happier with Tom s work or the results. He was also courteous and professional throughout the process."

"Matt, Karen & Sherri provided very professional service. From their first meeting to evaluate our project to the completion was a great experience. We did a complete tear down of ceramic tile and replaced it with loose lay vinyl. Very happy with our selection. The crew who did the work did an awesome job from start to finish in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend Floor Coverings International."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Carpet density refers to how closely together the fibers of a carpet are stitched into the carpet backing, with values ranging from 1,000 to 7,000. A carpet density value of 3,000 or higher is considered best for most homes, especially in high-traffic areas, such as a living room or dining room. If you’re comparing two carpets made of the same material, a higher carpet density can indicate better durability and longevity. However, carpet density is only one of many factors that can help you determine a carpet’s quality.

DIY installation is challenging; professionals ensure proper fitting, adhesive application, and long-term durability.

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 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. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

Nylon carpet is widely considered one of the most durable and longest-lasting options, typically lasting 12 to 15 years. Its durability comes from its high resistance to wear, tear, stains, fading, and abrasions. It also resists liquid spills, insects, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. For even greater longevity, frieze or Berber carpets are excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years.

Beyond the material, a carpet's construction is key to its durability. Low-pile carpets with short, tight loops hold up better against wear than high-pile options. As a synthetic material, nylon is available in a vast range of colors and styles and often feels remarkably soft.
