Q: Are stairs safer with or without carpet?

• <div><p>In some cases, stairs without carpet are actually slipperier than carpeted stairs, but if the carpet is brand new, dirty, or just slick, it may seem like your stairs are the most slippery ones in existence. Fortunately, traction treads can be added over most stair surface materials, increasing the traction you&rsquo;re able to get and reducing the risk of slipping. </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: How often do you need to replace the carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>Decent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">carpet will last</a> around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You&rsquo;ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.</p></div>

Q: How can I acclimate my floor faster?

• <div><p>Acclimating laminate flooring cannot be rushed. Laminate flooring needs at least 48 hours to acclimate properly to its new environment, and being patient during this time can make installation go smoother because you will not be dealing with boards that have expanded or contracted during the shipping process. You will also be less likely to damage the boards during installation.</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.
