Does carpet make a room warmer than laminate?

• <div><p>Carpet is an effective natural insulator, so it will make a room slightly warmer than laminate. The material’s insulating properties also make carpeted rooms more efficient for temperature regulation.</p></div>

What rooms should not have carpet?

• <div><p>Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between 40-oz and 60-oz carpet?

• <div><p>The difference between a 40-oz. and 60-oz. carpet is the carpet face weight, meaning the 60-oz. carpet weighs 20 ounces more per square yard. When looking at two similar carpets of the same material and type, the 60-oz. carpet face weight likely indicates higher quality and more durability due to heavier carpet fibers. </p></div>

Q: How do you install carpet without a stretcher?

• <div><p>The knee kicker tool that attaches carpet to tack strips offers some stretching capabilities, so you can use this and your own arm strength to stretch out thinner carpets across a room. But you should buy or rent a stretcher for the best possible carpet application. If you don&rsquo;t want to buy or rent a stretcher, it may be worth it to skip the DIY and leave this job to the pros or risk shortening the life of your new carpet by installing it without a stretcher.</p></div>

Q: What is the best color carpet for high-traffic areas?

• <div><p>There are a couple of color options to consider when installing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-high-traffic-areas.htm">carpet in high-traffic areas</a> (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it&rsquo;s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.</p></div>

Noah exceeded my expectations at a competitive price . Clear communication, and fast! His estimate was spot on and it was clean and professional work. Noah did a 60amp sub panel install for my new garage, and also wired in four new outlets in my basement as I only had one down there. Thanks...

Jeff was very detailed about completing this job perfectly. He encountered some shortcomings in the prior install, which he immediately corrected. I am very happy with his work, and intend to do ongoing projects with him.

Although the project turned out to be more complicated and took longer than expected, this had little to do with the builder or his sub-contractors. Primarily the delays were due to weather, financing issues, and poor communications on the part of the town's code enforcement officer. Let...
