Q: Does carpet ruin hardwood stairs?

• <div><p>In most cases, carpeting isn&rsquo;t kind to the wood that it&rsquo;s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.</p></div>

Q: Is it safer to have carpeted stairs compared to hard surfaces like wood?

• <div><p>Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction and friction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls. Additionally, if a fall does occur, carpet offers more cushioning, which can lessen the severity of an injury. While hard surfaces can look great, they are often more slippery. However, it's worth noting that some carpets, especially if they are new, dirty, or have a slick texture, can also pose a slipping hazard. To improve safety on any type of stair surface, you can add traction treads to increase grip.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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: Is carpet glue permanent?

• <div><p>Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is<b> five to 15 years</b>. 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.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install carpet tile?

• <div><p>Installing carpet tile takes a pro a few hours per room, while experienced DIYers may take a little longer. However, that does not factor in the time needed to remove the old carpet. Also, if there are issues with the subfloor, fixing it will add to the overall time it takes to complete the installation.</p></div>

"AMAZING Job, the entire process couldn’t have been easier!!! I requested a quote from the owner Kelsey and was asking for a lot, 900 square feet of lvp and 600 square feet of carpet including a flight of steps. I was a little worried at first that she wouldn’t be able to handle a task this tall on her own which I expressed, she quickly squashed all worries when she told me that she has multiple employees that she hired from a Veterans job expo. I saw her attention to detail when giving the quote I knew regardless of the price she came up with I was going to hire her company for the job. It was an added bonus when she beat the other 2 quotes I previously received. She treats her clients and her employees like family, the work was impeccable and I couldn’t have been happier choosing her company.. highly recommend McCoy Flooring to anyone looking to update the look of the homes. Thanks Kelsey!"
