"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

Carpet installation costs include carpet type (material, weave), room size, subfloor preparation, and labor costs. Getting multiple quotes provides a clearer picture of expected expenses.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.

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’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.

Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.
