What do you put under carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.</p></div>

Q: When should I replace my carpet instead?

• <div><p>If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.</p></div>

Q: How long does carpet installation take?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the area size and preparation needed.</p></div>

Q: How can I acclimate my floor faster?

• <div><p>Acclimating laminate flooring cannot be rushed. Laminate flooring needs at least 48 hours to acclimate properly to its new environment, and being patient during this time can make installation go smoother because you will not be dealing with boards that have expanded or contracted during the shipping process. You will also be less likely to damage the boards during installation.</p></div>

Q: Does carpet ruin hardwood stairs?

• <div><p>In most cases, carpeting isn&rsquo;t kind to the wood that it&rsquo;s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.</p></div>

They did a fantastic job. They even got up against the woodwork to clean. I have had carpet cleaners that only go so far to woodwork, and it looks terrible. I would highly recommend.

Bought carpet from this company and less than a year it started to show wear. During the process of the replacement was told by the inspector that they installed it wrong. After it was replaced in the same time it looked bad again. Would not recommend, stay away from them.

The technician came out and installed the hardware and wiring. The receiver is a small rectangular device that is installed on the roof of the house. A small connection box is located inside the house. The entire installation went well and looks very good.
