"This is my 2nd time using Danny's Floors. The first time they did an excellent job with my luxerary laminate floors on my main level. This time they recarpeted my entire upstairs. The job was done to perfection. They were here early, installed, cleaned up after, and done quickly. The installers were respectful to me and of my items. The quality of the carpet is top notch, and the price did not break the bank. I would use them again, and again."

"What other great things can I say about this business? From the quote I received to the quality of work and customer service-I have ZERO complaints about G&W Floor Coverings. The team arrived to my home around 7:30 a.m. to install carpet to my entire home and was finished around 5:00 p.m. I could tell the crew's motivation was to give me a finished product that I could be pleased with-when the carpet was completely installed, the crew cleaned everything to perfection. Robbie was very exceptional in his customer service and provided me a reasonable price. I can't say enough about his professionalism and courtesy. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone in need of quality and affordable services."

"I had both laminate flooring and carpet installed. The laminate crew was excellent, very thorough and hard working. The carpet crew was fast but the attention to detail was a little lacking. Overall, I was very satisfied with the end result. They were able to schedule the job within a week."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing carpet tile takes a pro a few hours per room, while experienced DIYers may take a little longer. However, that does not factor in the time needed to remove the old carpet. Also, if there are issues with the subfloor, fixing it will add to the overall time it takes to complete the installation.

Carpet tiles come with a preexisting adhesive backing, which means installing them is as simple as peeling off the paper and sticking them down where they need to go. In other words, no. You won’t need to purchase any separate glue to get your carpet squares situated. It’s already built into the carpet tile itself.

Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.

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.

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.
