"We were updating a Leisure World Condo. We put in Core Tech flooring and new carpet. The prices were the best in town and the service was top notch. Amir and Latif were both very helpful. Since the condo was empty, I was able to leave a key at the store and I did not have to be there during installation. I had one threshold piece that I felt did not match. I contacted Amir and he ordered a replacement immediately and they were out within a few days to fix the issue. Very responsive. Great company to work with! The Core Tech Plus was about $7 sf installed and the carpet was $3 sf installed including high quality pad. Core Tech is an amazing luxury vinyl product, we splurged on that. The carpet, Hawkeye, is basic carpet, nothing fancy, but looks great. One note for anyone doing this, it does create a bit of dust on floorboards etc. Renaissance did a great job cleaning up, but I had to do some clean up too. My contractor told me that this is to be expected with this type of job!"

"After the new year, we replaced our upper level carpets with hardwood flooring and we were very satisfied with District Floor Depot. We are really enjoying the new flooring and decided to replace the flooring in our basement this time. We ordered the same type of floor and the install went smoothly. It’s great that we know where to go and what to expect. District Floor Depot once again exceeded our expectations."

"HIghly recommend Daniel. He arrived on time. He gave us an estimate (time/dollars) and got to work right away. Daniel is not only excellent at his work, he is polite and considerate. The results are amazing--the carpets look new. We've been in our house ten years and this is the first professional carpet cleaning we' had done. In the past we used our in-home carpet cleaning machine. No comparison. From now on Daniel is our go-to carpet cleaning person. And when we need it, Daniel will be our go-to upholstery cleaning person too."

"Only one guy showed up to do the carpet cleaning, but he was very punctual,and thorough and did a great job. The price was reasonable. I just thought that it was a pretty big job for just one guy but he was able to do it all on his own."

"Great. Wall to wall carpet in basement had many deep soiled spots. Technician worked hard to successfully remove them, but probably did not do enough to suck up the water used because it took 3 days for the carpet to dry."
"We are very pleased with the job Dave did for us today. He was prompt and very courteous and did a professional job cleaning our carpets. Thank you for keeping the planned schedule as promised. We will recommend your company to our family and friends.

Stan"

"From the very first point of contact, LJSC was professional, responsive, and provided a very reasonably priced quote. They were also incredibly accommodating when I asked if they could come the very next day on short notice ? which I really appreciated. Juan, who handled the service, was extremely professional and did a thorough job. My carpet and couch are both high-traffic areas that needed serious attention, and he tackled them with care and skill. I had several tough spots caused by my cat and kids, and Juan was able to get them out completely. I?m extremely happy with the results and will definitely be recommending LJSC to others. I?ll also be using their services again in the future!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.
