How do you budget for carpet?

• <div><p>The first step in budgeting for carpet is to determine the amount of carpet you need and the type of carpet you want. You might be tempted to opt for the least expensive option if you have a limited budget, but a low-quality carpet won’t last as long as a high-quality one. When accounting for future <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a>, it makes sense to buy the best-quality carpet you can afford.</p></div>

How much does flooring cost?

• <div><p>Flooring costs <b>$3,162</b> on average, but can range between <b>$1,530 and $4,860</b>, depending on the flooring type and room size. New flooring costs an average of <b>$3 to $22 per square foot</b>, including installation. Vinyl plank flooring and carpet fall on the lower end, while stone, tile, and hardwood are among the most expensive flooring materials. </p></div>

Q: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>

Q: What flooring isn’t good for underfloor heating?

• <div><p>You can use underfloor heating with most kinds of flooring. However, particularly thick carpet will create problems, since it will absorb a lot of the heat and make it difficult to feel. Also, there are some concerns that underfloor heating can dry out natural wood over time, so if you have wood flooring, get an expert opinion on whether radiant heating is appropriate. </p></div>

Q: What cleaning products should never be used on carpets?

• <div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-things-you-should-never-use-clean-carpet.htm">cleaning products that you should never use on carpets</a> because you may accidentally ruin them. Do not use bleach, dish soap, laundry detergent, and abrasive cleaners on carpet. For more guidance on products to avoid, consult a local carpet cleaning company for expert advice. </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.

My furnace/air-conditioning unit in the attic was improperly installed way back when, which my house inspector missed -- typical jerry-rigged older-house job. The unit wasn't suspended over a drain pan, but down inside it, and with no float switch, such that when water would build up in the...

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...
