How do you budget for carpet?

• <div><p>The first step in budgeting for carpet is to determine the amount of carpet you need and the type of carpet you want. You might be tempted to opt for the least expensive option if you have a limited budget, but a low-quality carpet won’t last as long as a high-quality one. When accounting for future <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a>, it makes sense to buy the best-quality carpet you can afford.</p></div>

Q: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of hiring professionals for carpet installation compared to doing it yourself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.</p></div>

Q: Are stairs safer with or without carpet?

• <div><p>In some cases, stairs without carpet are actually slipperier than carpeted stairs, but if the carpet is brand new, dirty, or just slick, it may seem like your stairs are the most slippery ones in existence. Fortunately, traction treads can be added over most stair surface materials, increasing the traction you&rsquo;re able to get and reducing the risk of slipping. </p></div>

Q: Are carpet tiles easy to install?

• <div><p>Yes, carpet tiles are easy to install&mdash;even if you don&rsquo;t have much DIY experience. In fact, the simple installation process is one of the main reasons that people choose carpet tiles over traditional carpet. Since carpet tiles come in individual squares, they aren&rsquo;t as heavy or awkward to install as regular carpet. Plus, you don&rsquo;t need specialized equipment (like knee kickers or carpet stretchers) when installing carpet tiles.</p></div>

Their installer was the best I have ever seen. He has been handling tile and carpet all of his life. He really paid a lot of attention to detail. Making sure that the subfloor was secure and would not squeak when you walk on them which was a problem since the house was new. The placing of the...

The estimate and all work was done in a timely manner. The estimator and installers were very pleasant, hardworking, and dependable. The installers put in a full days work, only taking a break at lunchtime and were very professional. I would highly recommend Church's Carpet.
