Q: What is the price range for installing carpet per square foot?

• <div><p>Depending on carpet type and labor, costs range from $3 to $12 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: What is the best underlayment for carpet on concrete?

• <div><p>The best underlayment for carpet on concrete is a sponge rubber underlayment. This type of carpet padding is durable enough to endure wear and tear on hard concrete yet soft enough to provide comfort underfoot. It also creates insulation from sound and temperature, providing warmth despite the concrete&rsquo;s cold surface.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install carpet tile?

• <div><p>Installing carpet tile takes a pro a few hours per room, while experienced DIYers may take a little longer. However, that does not factor in the time needed to remove the old carpet. Also, if there are issues with the subfloor, fixing it will add to the overall time it takes to complete the installation.</p></div>

Q: Is carpet glue permanent?

• <div><p>Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is<b> five to 15 years</b>. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.</p></div>
