Q: Do you start carpeting stairs at the top or bottom?

• <div><p>When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You&rsquo;ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.</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: When should I remove old carpet?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Carpeting lasts</a> between 10 and 15 years in most cases, but keep an eye out for common signs that it's time to replace it. Persistent smells despite deep cleaning, faded color, worn-down carpet padding, and general wear and tear are signs that it's time to tear it up. If you are experiencing allergy issues indoors, this could also be a sign that new flooring is the key to a fresher home.</p></div>

Q: Will laying laminate over carpet void my warranty?

• <div><p>Yes, laying laminate over carpet may void the warranty of your flooring. Most laminate manufacturers specify installation over a suitable subfloor, not carpet. Deviating from these installation guidelines can invalidate the warranty. You should stick to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure warranty coverage, and you should always consult with professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-laminate-flooring/">laminate flooring installers near you</a> if you have any concerns or questions regarding installation methods. </p></div>

We gave them the key and alarm code - no problems. They showed up on time. Good communication on progress. Excellent work on my parquet floors. They look brand new! I got two other quotes - Saldivar was the cheapest. They did an excellent job. I will definately use them again.

Excellent. The workers cleaned up the area after each day. It took less time than first estimated. The building is great and no defects have been noted. The workers spent all day on the job site and only took a break for lunch.
