"Would highly recommend these guys. Very friendly but worked hard. Laid vinyl plank flooring for us and stretched carpet. Love the new floors and carpet looks new. Did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Would use them again or recommend them in a heartbeat."

"Champion did a wonderful job. He was very professional and pleasant and did not change the quoted price even though I have three vents that are not standard. They are very difficult and complicated to remove. He spent the extra time and did the job right. Also, friends had warned me that, after the cleaning, my house would be covered with dust that had been blown out during the process. That is completely untrue with Champion. All the dirt that is dislodged when the duct work is cleaned is immediately captured by the vacuum. I am very pleased."

"It went very well. The paint job looks great. I let them choose the color. There were no paint drips on the sidewalks or the house, they cleaned up when they were finished. We had quotes for much higher. They are very nice and easy to work with."

"It was a big job. They did a fantastic job. They arrived on time, only took 30 minutes for lunch and got right back on it. When the gentleman was bringing the totes down the stairs and out to the garage, she would be ready with a new tote when he got back upstairs. They got everything done in less than 8 hours. They cleaned up well. They were one of the lowest bids I had gotten. They did excellent. People wouldn't go wrong by getting them."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

If the stairs are already covered in carpet, you will need to remove the old carpet and possibly the carpet pad. Any damage to the stairs like cracks, loose boards, or creaky treads may also need to be repaired. You may also want to sand and refinish or paint wood stairs before installing a carpet runner.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

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 install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

Installing carpet over carpet may negatively impact the resale value of your home. While it offers a quick fix, potential buyers may view it as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment in quality flooring. Properly installed and maintained flooring adds value to a home, so removing the existing carpet and installing new flooring may be a better option to attract prospective buyers and maximize resale value.
