"I contacted Danny on Tuesday, November 12, 2019 about installing carpet that I would supply. He and an associate came out the same day to provide an estimate and determine if I had enough carpet to install in a 10x11 bedroom. I had several rolls of carpet/padding in my van that Danny and his associate carried into my home. The installation date was 2 days later. They arrived on time. Before the work began I asked whether my cables would be removed from the wall and Danny said he would do his best not to disturb the wiring. The old carpet /padding was removed and hauled away, new carpet/padding was installed/vacuumed, and the furniture was moved back into the room all in about one and one half hours. I appreciate that he texted me prior to each appointment to let me know he was on his way. The finished product looks amazing at a reasonable price (with my cable wiring intact). I highly recommend Danny and his company which provided 5 star customer service. I will contact him again on my next carpet replacement."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.

Yes, there are plenty of ways to lay stair carpet without grippers, such as carpet adhesive, magnetic flooring, or staples. Adhesive may be your best bet if you don’t want grippers, as it will most likely stick the best and cause the least amount of damage. However, if you’re looking for an easy fix, grippers are one of the best solutions you can purchase.

Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.

The average cost to install new flooring is around $3,162, with a typical price range between $1,530 and $4,860. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay an average of $3 to $22, including installation. Several factors influence the total price, including the flooring material, project size, geographic location, and any special features. Material choice is a significant cost driver; vinyl plank, linoleum, and carpet are on the lower end ($3 to $7 per square foot), while stone, tile, and hardwood are more expensive, with hardwood reaching up to $22 per square foot. Prices can also vary by region, and installing flooring on stairs will add to the cost, typically ranging from $11 to $160 per step.

No, it isn’t less expensive to install carpet compared to vinyl floors. The cost of installing carpet can range between $3 and $11 per square foot, so it falls just over the cost of installing vinyl flooring, at an average of $3 to $7 per square foot. High-quality carpeting can also range much higher, even up to $20 per square foot.
