Noah and Jason removed carpeting in three bedrooms and our bonus room. They installed LVP flooring and shoe mold where the carpeting was. The LVP flooring matches what is in the main area of our house, and they laced in the new flooring with what was existing so that you can't tell the bedrooms...

They did an excellent job, from Shelby and Janet in the office to all the installers led by Ricardo and Enid. We did have a few very minor issues, but overall they were very helpful in guiding us in selecting the right carpeting and flooring and listening to our desires and needs and questions....

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on space size and complexity.

Carpet installation costs include carpet type (material, weave), room size, subfloor preparation, and labor costs. Getting multiple quotes provides a clearer picture of expected expenses.

Costs depend on carpet type, labor rates, and additional services like padding or transitions.

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.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.
