Is it better to have carpet or hard floors in bedrooms?

• <div><p>The type of flooring you choose for your bedroom comes down to personal preference. Many people prefer carpet over hard-surface <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-flooring-best-my-home.htm">flooring types</a> (such as hardwood, tile, or stone) in their bedrooms because it’s warmer and cozier. Carpeting also helps muffle sound, which may benefit those who have trouble sleeping.</p><p>On the other hand, some folks prefer the look of hardwood over carpet. People with allergies might also opt for non-carpeted flooring since carpet fibers can attract dust, dander, and other allergens.</p></div>

Is it worth re-stretching the carpet?

• <div><p>Stretching a carpet should be a one-time job. If by re-stretching you mean doing it a second (or third) time, it’s probably better to replace it altogether. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Most carpets are expected to last</a> anywhere from five to 15 years, so if it’s past that timeframe, you may want to shop around for a new one.</p></div>

Q: Does replacing carpet add value?

• <div><p>Experts advise that replacing carpeting can bring a 50% to 80% return on investment. However, new carpeting doesn&rsquo;t necessarily add value to your overall home value. Because flooring value heavily depends on taste, it can be tricky to determine whether new carpet will increase your home sale price. Carpeting tends to be a renovation that increases overall comfort and aesthetics for your home, but it&rsquo;s not a big factor in value.</p></div>

Q: How often do I need to replace my flooring?

• <div><p>The need to replace your flooring depends on the type of flooring and the amount of wear and tear it experiences through foot traffic. For example, you should replace carpet every ten years, but other, more durable options like tile can last up to 30 years. It&rsquo;s best to speak with your flooring installation professional to determine the best course for replacing your flooring. </p></div>

Q: Do carpet installations include removal of old carpet?

• <div><p>Many services include the removal and disposal of old carpet. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Ruben and his team did a great job for us! We just moved into a new home and discovered some issues. They fixed our gutter which required replacing the facia board, covered “nail pops’ on the first floor roof, and repaired our metal roof on the second floor. But, the best part is Ruben himself....

My overall experience was positive. My fiancé and I had them put in new floors this past March. So worth it. This guy is a one man shop so get ready to wait. He was booked up for a few months before he could get to us. My advice- be patient, he has been around a while and does good work.
