Can I recycle my carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, you can recycle most types of carpet. If you hire a pro to remove your old carpet, ask about their <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-carpet.htm">carpet disposal</a> process. Many companies will recycle the carpeting, but if yours doesn’t, you can ask them to take it to a recycling center for you (although there might be an additional fee). Alternatively, you can hire a junk hauling service or contact a carpet recycling organization (like CARE).</p></div>

Q: What is the best color carpet for high-traffic areas?

• <div><p>There are a couple of color options to consider when installing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-high-traffic-areas.htm">carpet in high-traffic areas</a> (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it&rsquo;s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a transition between carpet stairs and wood flooring?

• <div><p>A transition piece between carpet stairs and wood flooring isn't always necessary. A transition piece separates two types of flooring in between rooms and areas, like carpet and vinyl. Because the carpet on the stairs tucks into the seam, you can&rsquo;t see the fringes, and there is no need to hide anything. However, you can use a stair cap if your stairs have a nose.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert a basement into a game room, and what are the challenges?

• <div><p>Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to stretch a carpet?

• <div><p>Carpet stretching increases the lifespan of the carpet and eliminates unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. It is certainly worth it if you seek to extend the life of wall-to-wall carpeting, though it depends on the individual and the carpet itself. If the carpet looks fine, it likely is fine. Restretch the carpet when you notice looseness and a high number of related issues.</p></div>

I paid $13,000 for foundation repairs that did not ever address the 3" of sinking floors to the middle of my floors, after getting 2 separate opinions/quotes from Groundworks and Peak Structural, Inc., owned by the same company.

You wonâ t find a better group of guys to work with. The job was done right, completed on time, and in the budget. They removed walls, installed a new tub, installed tile on backsplash and floor, repaired our outside dormers and more. They can do it all.

We bought some ceramic tile back in the summer of 2015 and had it installed in our house. They did a very good job on the install and started and ended about the time they said they would. We have had multiple compliments on our flooring. Would definitely use again.

Though I could be wrong, I'm fairly sure that two things in my house were big reasons why a lot of people didn't buy it before I did - one of the old bathrooms was so small that it was functionally a half bath even though it counted as a full bath and the kitchen was a flat depressing gray color...
