Does carpet make a room warmer than laminate?

• <div><p>Carpet is an effective natural insulator, so it will make a room slightly warmer than laminate. The material’s insulating properties also make carpeted rooms more efficient for temperature regulation.</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>

Q: When should I repair versus clean versus remove and replace my carpeting?

• <div><p>There are a few things to think about if you&rsquo;re deciding whether to repair or replace your carpeting. For starters, consider the extent of the damage and the age of your carpet. If there are minor rips and snags and your carpet is still relatively new, it might make more sense to just replace the affected section. Otherwise, if your carpet is nearing that decade mark or has widespread damage, it&rsquo;s more logical to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">replace your carpet</a> entirely.</p></div>

Q: Is it suitable for every carpet type?

• <div><p>No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.</p></div>

Q: Should I remove existing baseboards before installing new carpet?

• <div><p>Even if you&rsquo;re just replacing your carpet and not your baseboards, experts recommend removing existing baseboards before installing new carpet. This allows for a clean and seamless installation without the risk of damaging the baseboards or the carpet. Additionally, removing the baseboards gives you the opportunity to stain or repaint them as well as inspect and repair any underlying issues with the walls or flooring.</p></div>

Solomon’s was fabulous! They left carpet samples for me on several occasions. Also, they were willing to order the carpet before we paid for it. Overall, they were really, really easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them to others.

We chose this company because of the stain warranty. The sub-contractors who installed the carpet did a great job. The problem that we had was with the bathroom floor. The installer showed up late, the piece of vinyl was cut too short, he didn't have seam sealant, but he did have excuses. He did...
