Is carpet nailed or glued?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-install-carpet-on-concrete.htm">install carpet over concrete</a>, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive. </p></div>

Why are stairs so expensive to carpet?

• <div><p>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. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-carpet-stairs.htm">Carpet installation on stairs will cost</a> $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.</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: Is stain-resistant carpet worth it?

• <div><p>Stain-resistant carpet might be worth it for your household if you have children or pets and expect spills to happen. While it may cost more than you expected upfront, you may save money in the long run if you have to replace your carpet less frequently (thanks to stains not absorbing down into the fibers). </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do flooring companies recycle old carpet when it's replaced?

• <div><p>Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.</p></div>

Installation was fast and looks amazing! The carpenter was here at 8am and had the shower finished by 3pm and left the house with very little cleanup to do and the shower was ready to use the following morning.
