"Mike came by to look at my upstairs carpet which was 13 years old and was really stretched out. He was prepared to do the work that day, but because the rooms had so many closets and cuts he said it would not look good because you would see all the repairs. He was, honest, reliable, and all around nice guy. Hire Him."

"I hired Boston Sunshine Floors to install new floor in a 1 bedroom apartment. The process was very easy from start to finish. They removed old carpeting, leveled the old floor, and then installed new luxury vinyl. They showed up as scheduled and finished the job in one day. Floor looks amazing! I highly recommend Boston Sunshine!!!"

"Very fair price as an avid DIY guy, I'm pretty savvy on how to do stuff and pricing. Ed was more than fair. Great communication and the job came out fantastic. Highly recommend. Really good experience working together. He carpeted a winding set of stairs in our antique 1873 Victorian home in the back hallway. Tricky with all the pie wedges. The job came out clean and tightly fit. Very pleased and I always find something to complain about. Thanks Ed!!!"

"They were very professional. Thank goodness my dryer duct was cleaned. I had a shopping bag full of lint that came out of it as it had been 19 years! They return my call right away before I had hired them. I would recommend them highly to any other who is looking. Looking to have their ducts cleaned."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.

Nylon carpet is widely considered one of the most durable and longest-lasting options, typically lasting 12 to 15 years. Its durability comes from its high resistance to wear, tear, stains, fading, and abrasions. It also resists liquid spills, insects, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. For even greater longevity, frieze or Berber carpets are excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years.

Beyond the material, a carpet's construction is key to its durability. Low-pile carpets with short, tight loops hold up better against wear than high-pile options. As a synthetic material, nylon is available in a vast range of colors and styles and often feels remarkably soft.

Depending on carpet type and labor, costs range from $3 to $12 per square foot.
