How can I save money on new carpet?

• <div><p>You can save money on labor costs by removing your old carpet before the professionals come in to install the new carpet. Just make sure to clear it with your contractor ahead of time. You might also be able to cut costs by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-time-to-buy-carpet.htm">buying carpet at certain times of year</a> when it’s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to remove carpet?

• <div><p>The fastest way to remove carpet is to remove carpet in strips instead of trying to remove it in one large piece. Wear protective equipment such as gloves and goggles, use a utility knife to cut the carpet in long strips, and then pull at the edge of the strip to loosen the staples or glue. Carpet-cutting razor blades are best on your utility knife for the quickest removal. </p></div>

Q: How do I install carpet padding?

• <div><p>Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">carpet installation costs</a> by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room&rsquo;s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.</p></div>

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>

Q: What is the healthiest flooring option?

• <div><p>Natural options like stone tile, hardwood, cork, bamboo, and natural linoleum are among the healthier flooring choices available. On the flip side, carpet and carpet padding are among the biggest culprits when it comes to releasing potentially hazardous chemicals into your home. Artificial, manufactured options like vinyl and engineered wood may also contain and emit VOCs. </p></div>

Kevin did an excellent job replacing my old original toilet. He showed me the damage the old toilet did to my floor. But was able to get the new one in place. He cleaned up and was very nice. I will use him again for my next plumbing job! 5 stars!

The flooring probably was about $1500, and for the tile floor and the laminate floor, it was probably a couple of thousand dollars. It’s a local company and I like to do business with local businesses. They’ve been very good to me. They always let me borrow some tools to do things. I’ll do...
