Why are stairs so expensive to carpet?

• <div><p>Installing carpet on stairs involves a lot more cutting, tucking, tack strips, and time. The shape of your staircase, along with the material and construction of the carpet you’re installing, will also increase the cost. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-carpet-stairs.htm">Carpet installation on stairs will cost</a> $400 to $800 in total, but it can go as high as $2,500 for difficult staircases, such as wrap-around, upholstered, or spiral staircases.</p></div>

Do carpet tiles stay in place?

• <div><p>Yes. When installed properly, the strong adhesive on carpet tiles keeps them in place while also allowing homeowners the flexibility to peel up an individual tile and replace it if they need to. It’s important to keep in mind that the adhesive on your carpet tiles may take some time to cure, so it’s best to leave them alone for a couple of days after you first install them.</p></div>

Do you glue down carpet padding?

• <div><p>If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-glued-carpet.htm">Removing a glued-down carpet</a> can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.</p></div>

How long will it take to install new flooring?

• <div><p>Flooring installation usually takes about one to three days, so it’s a project you can do over a long weekend if you plan to DIY. Keep in mind that for some types of flooring, like hardwood or laminate, you’ll need to let the floor panels sit out of the packaging to acclimate them to their future home. This step will add at least a day to the project time, but it will help minimize the risk of warping due to changes in temperature and humidity.</p></div>

Walter was very nice and professional. He took a look at what needed to be repaired and explained how he would go about repairing the tear in our carpet. He explained prior to starting, that the sample piece of carpet I gave him to use would not match the color exactly of what was already...

We drove to Levittown to a very unassuming store, but were pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of Alex, the owner and his son, Kevin. This is a family owned store with a huge selection of carpet and they will work with your budget. They made recommendations, but never tried to push us...

Although the room was small, they treated the job with as much interest and care as if it were a much larger job. We picked out the carpet in the store, and the person who did the measuring arrived at the scheduled time. The carpet came from the factory within the 10 days as promised. The...

These guys showed up just a little bit early (that's "punctual", in my book!), told me in advance that if any stains soaked through the carpet into the padding, and it's still wet underneath, the stains in the carpet might come back through from the padding. They were fast, efficient,...

Loomcraft Carpet did a poor job installing my flooring. The tiles came up and the floor needed to be repaired. The company was supposed to give me a guarantee; however, when they came out and looked at the floor, they refused to do the repair. The tiles were crooked in a lot of places. I would...
