Q: What do you put under carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you&rsquo;ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that&rsquo;s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won&rsquo;t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;t as soft as cut pile carpet, so it isn&rsquo;t the best carpet for a bedroom (although it&rsquo;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&mdash;it just might not be as comfortable on your feet as cut pile carpeting.</p></div>

Q: How can I hide a visually unpleasant hardwood floor?

• <div><p>If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you&rsquo;re not interested in seeking remediation, you could hide a visually unpleasant floor. This will only work if the floor is structurally sound and the only issue you have is the way it looks. The easiest way to do this is to use large area rugs. You can also paint the floor, although that&rsquo;s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route. </p></div>

Q: Do you really need padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-need-carpet-padding.htm">need to install carpet padding</a>. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.</p></div>

Q: Do you start carpeting stairs at the top or bottom?

• <div><p>When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You&rsquo;ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.</p></div>

"Jose did an amazing job. We had a bleach stain in a highly visible area. An 18" x 18" area in the middle of the walking area was replaced and no seams are visible, it looks like the carpet was never damaged. He is very knowledgeable on all carpet needs. Wish I knew him before I bought my carpet and installation from a big building supply company 3 yrs ago. For a small job like we had, be respectful of his time and have the estimate and work done in the same trip."

"We had had a new kitchen put in and then a year later, we had had our kitchen floor redone and basement repaired after a flood in our house. Water from our washer had flooded the kitchen and laundry room and then flowed through the floor into the basement theater room and rec room. We had to have a new (porcelain) tile floor put in upstairs and new paint and carpeting throughout the basement. The work for the new kitchen and then the flood required a huge amount of sanding, spackling and more sanding...etc. The dust in our house was a big problem afterwards from the spackle dust that accumulated in our ducts. We decided to have our ducts cleaned and found All States on Angie's list. It went great! They were on time, conversant about the state of our ducts. They did the job. I have noticed that the air is better in the house and we have much less dust on furniture! Very happy with their services and I would definitely hire them again.
