"Communication was great, service was awesome and price was right. After receiving 3 quotes from family owned shops as well as big companies my wife and I were blown away by the options and quality Total Flooring offered. Day of install they were punctual, clean and efficient. Since we have a little one we were worried that there would be a lot of dust from ripping up an old carpet and installing a new one but it was all kept to a minimum. I would highly recommend"

"I couldn't be happier with the carpet cleaning service! The team was professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient from start to finish. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and did an amazing job bringing our carpets back to life. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the work. They were able to refresh areas I wasn't sure would ever look this good again. The carpets look and smell fantastic, and the whole house feels cleaner and brighter. If you're looking for a reliable, affordable carpet cleaning company that delivers excellent results, I highly recommend them. We will definitely be using their services again!"

"I do home improvements for a living and also buy old homes, fix them up, then sell them for a profit.  When ever I need work done to hardwood floors I always call William at Zavala's Floors.  William is always available for my calls to help me out.  His response is immediate, usually in a few minutes or less.  In this situation I was trying to rent a property with a very tight deadline and I needed the hardwoods refinished in less than a weeks time.  William and Zavala's Floors were at the house the next day sanding and refinishing all 650 square feet.  The floors looked Great! as usual when Zavala's Floors is hired by me.  The price was unbeatable at $1200 and William also hauled away some unwanted furniture for no charge.  The house rented after one day thanks to the beautiful hardwoods which the renter gushed about when inspecting the property.  I have known and used William and Zavala's floors for 5 years and he has always guaranteed his work and left me a very happy repeat customer.  William is a pleasant, honest hardworking craftsman that will do his best every time to make sure the customer is completely satisfied.  I have one friend that had his entire houses converted to site-sanded Brazilian Cherry hardwoods by Zavala's Floors because the quality and price was cheaper than carpet.  His house is the envy of the  neighborhood in Ellicott City, MD.

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Several types of flooring can be installed over existing tile, provided the current tiles are in good condition. Options include vinyl, vinyl plank, laminate, engineered wood, hardwood, carpet, and cork. Among these, various types of vinyl and engineered wood are the most common choices due to their versatility. Alternatively, you can install new tiles on top of your current ones if you like tile floors but want to update the look. Before proceeding with any new flooring, it's crucial to ensure your existing tiles are not damaged; otherwise, they will need to be removed first.

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.

On average, installing carpet costs between $3 and $11 per square foot, depending on factors like the carpet material, style, and labor rates in your area. Sometimes, installers will include carpet removal in these costs, so if you don’t have any carpet to remove, you can save time and spend less money on labor.

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.
