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

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.

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.

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

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.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the area size and preparation needed.
