Why are stairs so expensive to carpet?

• <div><p>Installing carpet on stairs involves a lot more cutting, tucking, tack strips, and time.

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 much does an epoxy garage floor cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/epoxy-flooring-costs-advantages-and-installation.htm">cost of an epoxy garage floor</a> is about <b>$2,440</b>, but costs can range from <b>$730 to $5,300</b>, depending on the total square footage, required preparations, the type of epoxy, and the complexity of the design. You can expect the cost to epoxy your garage floor to range from $3 to $12 per square foot. An epoxy floor should last 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance and care.</p></div>

Q: Do you put flooring under kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Whether or not you put flooring under kitchen cabinets depends on the type of flooring you&rsquo;re installing. Tile and hardwood flooring can throw off the height measurement for cabinets, so the best practice is to install it first then add the cabinets on top. Laminate flooring, or any floating floor, should not be installed underneath cabinets because it expands and contracts, making the cabinets unstable. </p></div>

Q: What types of carpet are available?

• <div><p>Cut pile, loop pile, and textured carpets are options. Choose based on comfort, durability, and style.</p></div>
