"I used Renaissance Carpet two years ago to carpet my basement. I was pleased with the work so I hired them again when it was time to recarpet all the bedrooms on my second floor. Bassir came to measure at the time we had arranged. He was courteous and professional. At the store he was very patient with me while I selected carpet, and ordered samples. When I got the samples, I did not like the colors I had chosen when I saw them in my home and again Bassir was very patient and helpful while I deliberated over minor color differences. On installation day, the crew arrived on time, carefully moved and replaced furniture and got the whole job done effiently. The men were very neat, there was no damage to the newly painted walls and they left the job site clean. In the basement, one area needed to be restretched and the crew forman took care of that little problem before he left. For price and service this store is the best."

"Our barely 4 year old carpet was quickly developing wrinkles and rolled sections so we looked at several companies on Homeadvisor and decided on Kashan. They were the best price and seemed ready to get this done quickly for us. Because our basement isn't very wide or large (although it's not small either) one guy used the knee kicker and went around the entire perimeter stretching section by section. I did supply them our in-house vacuum so they could clean as they went which was fine. I wouldn't have allowed that if it was going to be A LOT of cut carpet as I didn't want my cleaner clogged or canister overfilled. But it was fine. I actually cleared out the entire basement and put the single large sectional on carpet pads for easy sliding which they appreciated. But I had to do that when the carpet was installed too and it saves you a lot of cash doing some of any job yourself. Friendly, courteous and professional and I would definitely hire them again for other things like carpet cleaning or installs of non carpet flooring too."

"Great service - I told them I was selling my home and they knew exactly what to show me. Value for the price was great and within my budget. They completed my job 10 days after the quote, working with my schedule and other contractors, and did amazing work. I intend to hire them in the future for all my carpet needs."

"I got a few quotes and they were not the most expensive and not the cheapest. They were however the most responsive. They then showed up on time and did a great and timely job steam cleaning the carpet. They asked if I wanted to deodorize for an extra $20. He was v honest - said he didn't necessarily see a need because there was no smell but mentioned the benefits. I opted to go with it largely because we had a sick cat who had a few accidents, and while there was no smell, would be a good add'l step to get rid of any remaining bacteria. In general, great job, I'd hire them again due to customer service, responsiveness, punctuality, reasonable price."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Spring and fall are the best seasons for installing carpet. Both seasons benefit from moderate temperatures and low humidity levels, which can help the carpet acclimate to the room and settle properly once installed. However, installing carpet during the winter months could result in lower costs, as demand for this service is low.

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. Removing a glued-down carpet can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.
