Q: How often do you need to replace the carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>Decent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">carpet will last</a> around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years.

Q: How much gap do you need for transition strips?

• <div><p>Most transition strips measure two to five inches wide, but it varies by floor type. The right gap for your flooring depends on the look you prefer. A wider gap allows more room for expansion, whereas a narrower gap requires a smaller transition strip but leaves less expansion room. You should have at least a one-inch gap between any floor types, but sometimes more.</p></div>
