Q: 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&rsquo;s best to avoid glue when possible.</p></div>

Q: How long after carpet is laid can you put furniture on it?

• <div><p>In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it&rsquo;s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it&rsquo;s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.</p></div>

Q: Is carpet glue permanent?

• <div><p>Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is<b> five to 15 years</b>. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.</p></div>

Q: Should flooring installers be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn&rsquo;t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it&rsquo;s a good idea to check with your town before getting started.

Q: What carpet should you avoid for stairs?

• <div><p>Avoid plush, high-pile, or thick carpets on your stairs because they can increase the risk of slipping and wear down quickly in busy homes. Also, ensure the carpet you install is stain-resistant, particularly if you select a light color. </p></div>

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Avoid plush, high-pile, or thick carpets on your stairs because they can increase the risk of slipping and wear down quickly in busy homes. Also, ensure the carpet you install is stain-resistant, particularly if you select a light color.
