Do buyers prefer carpet or laminate?

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home’s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer’s personal preferences. With that said, laminate can increase the resale value of a home by a tiny bit, whereas carpet does not. Hardwood increases the resale value by the highest amount.</p></div>

Is Berber carpet a good choice for bedrooms?

• <div><p>Berber is a loop pile carpet known for its strength, durability, and distinct looped look. It can be made from a number of different carpet materials, including nylon and wool. However, Berber isn’t as soft as cut pile carpet, so it isn’t the best carpet for a bedroom (although it’s a good style of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-living-room.htm">carpet for living rooms</a>).</p><p>With that said, if you really like the look of Berber, you can still install it in your bedroom—it just might not be as comfortable on your feet as cut pile carpeting.</p></div>

Q: How long do hardwood floors last?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-do-hardwood-floors-last.htm">life span of hardwood flooring</a> mainly depends on the type of hardwood you&rsquo;ve installed. Solid hardwood flooring options can last between 30 and 100 years, whereas engineered hardwoods need replacing every 20 to 30 years. If you&rsquo;re unsure whether to repair, refinish, or completely replace your existing hardwood floors, speak with a hardwood installer to determine your best course of action.</p></div>

Q: Can you stretch carpet with furniture on it?

• <div><p>You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can&rsquo;t remove it all.</p></div>

Q: Do buyers prefer carpet or laminate?

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home&rsquo;s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer&rsquo;s personal preferences. With that said, laminate can increase the resale value of a home by a tiny bit, whereas carpet does not. Hardwood increases the resale value by the highest amount.</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>

The service technicians were very prompt and professional. They were conscientious about keeping our home clean during and after the service. They were able to successfully clear the sewer lines. Our basement floor drains no longer back-up when showering or doing laundry.

Floor payment was good. I also had them add the trim, that was poor. They made more than one visit to see why I was complaining but felt they couldn't do any better. I am now having to re- lay the transition strips they were badly fitted.
