Can you put carpet directly on concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put carpet directly on concrete. However, you need to take certain precautions to ensure the success of the carpet installation. For example, you’ll need to choose a synthetic carpet pad to provide insulation and cushioning and a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into the carpet. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect carpet installation costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on carpet type, labor rates, and additional services like padding or transitions.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of year to install carpet?

• <div><p>Spring and fall are the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-time-to-buy-carpet.htm">best seasons for installing carpet</a>. Both seasons benefit from moderate temperatures and low humidity levels, which can help the carpet acclimate to the room and settle properly once installed. However, installing carpet during the winter months could result in lower costs, as demand for this service is low. </p></div>

Q: Can I slide furniture across the floors in my home?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s better to lift and set down furniture; sliding it across the floor is more likely to cause damage to both the floor and the furniture itself. For very heavy items, consider using a dolly with rubber wheels. It is possible to purchase sliders designed specifically for gliding furniture across floors, but you still risk causing permanent damage to flooring if you use them.</p></div>

Q: Can you put flooring directly on concrete?

• <div><p>Because concrete is porous, installing flooring directly onto the surface is not a good idea. Any moisture within the concrete due to atmospheric conditions or seasonal humidity can seep into your flooring, causing warping or damage. In most cases, you&rsquo;ll need to install at least a moisture barrier between the concrete and the flooring you choose.</p></div>

A&S did a great job with our flooring. We needed to change materials after the demolition portion of the job and they were rapidly responsive. Frank researched other options and had them waiting when we arrived at the showroom. This is the 3rd time we have used them (cork flooring in kitchen,...

First off, the workmanship is great. The floors look really good! However, the customer service at Capitol Flooring and Design is BAD. The people that work there are friendly… when you can get a hold of them. We had major issues scheduling/getting details on the work that was going to be done....

Went into the store, the owner, Robert, went over our needs and budget and helped us pick out the flooring that was right for us. We wanted something that wasn't going to break the bank, but would hold up for many years with kids and pets. He helped us pick out a floor that we could install...

Our 1980's kitchen was outdated and in poor condition. We knew what we wanted and had Mr. Gold come in to do measurements so we could custom order our cabinets. Once they arrived he started the demo work. It was really just a matter of one day to clear out the whole space. The demo was quick...

"Derek was nothing short of fantastic. A very knowledgeable individual of not just painting the entire interior of our home but so many other areas of expertise as well. A very trustworthy and kind hearted individual which was evident from the minute we met. Derek takes tremendous pride in his work which was evident from the beginning to to the end. Derek upon completion also cleaned up everything like it was before the job began and that to me is quite impressive these days. Thank you so much it was an absolute pleasure hiring and meeting you and we couldn't be happier with the work you performed. Thanks again 👍🙂!"
