"Great work done by Voda! Eric was on time and professional. He took the time to thoroughly assess and create a plan. Having 2 kids my area rugs are always disgusting but they have so much life left after his deep clean. He also cleaned my couch! He even checked some places I thought could be mold forming in the basement and assured me it is not and our family is safe! Voda has a long list of services they offer and I will keep them on speed dial! Thanks Jared and Eric!"

"We needed carpet replaced in one room and purchased the carpet from a "Big Box" store. The store's installer wasn't available until June and so we went to HomeAdvisor and contacted this pro. He was available to do the job in our time frame. We also needed some tiling replaced. He did both jobs beautifully including picking up the carpet from the "Big Box" store. I would highly recommend this pro for both carpet installations and tiling projects. Very responsive and great work."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

DIY installation is challenging; professionals ensure proper fitting, adhesive application, and long-term durability.

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. Removing a glued-down carpet can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

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.

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’s cold surface.
