"It was a painless process from start to finish. I was lucky and Bob Ski was the salesman working the day I walked into the showroom and he allowed me to take home the sample board to decide on the carpet for my front porch. The installers were great. Two nice young very respectful guys that did a great job installing the carpet and everything was cleaned up before they left. Excellent experience and I will for sure be recommending and buying from Riverview Carpet and Bob in the near future."

"The 2-man team arrived early in the 2 hour window, used teh wall-to-wall carpet stretcher tool, and completed the project with attention to detail, trimming off excess carpet.. It was revealed that the original carpet underlayment wasn't tacked down on one side of the rooms. We are satisfied with this service & would recommend the company."

"It went great.  The gentlemen arrived on time, went right to work and did exactly what they said they were going to do.
The carpets look much better than when they started.  They were pleasant and professional.  We were very happy with their work.

"Left message and received a call back very promptly. Scheduled the work with George. He confirmed the appointment the evening before, showed up on time, kept everything tidy, was very courteous and very knowledgeable. The wool area rug was full of stains and now looks like new! The staircase carpeting is spotless! The wall to wall carpeting looks great. I will definitely use G-Pro again."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Nylon carpet is widely considered one of the most durable and longest-lasting options, typically lasting 12 to 15 years. Its durability comes from its high resistance to wear, tear, stains, fading, and abrasions. It also resists liquid spills, insects, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. For even greater longevity, frieze or Berber carpets are excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years.

Beyond the material, a carpet's construction is key to its durability. Low-pile carpets with short, tight loops hold up better against wear than high-pile options. As a synthetic material, nylon is available in a vast range of colors and styles and often feels remarkably soft.

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

When choosing whether to install carpet in your home, consider the pros and cons of this change:

Pros

  • More affordable than laminate flooring

  • Gives the room a warmer feel

  • Softer on feet

  • Wide variety of textures and colors

  • Hides dirt easily

  • Faster and easier to install

Cons

  • Shows wear and tear more quickly than laminate flooring

  • Shows stains

  • Soaks up liquids

  • May not work well in some areas, such as a bathroom

  • Less durable than laminate flooring

  • Susceptible to water damage, mold, and mildew

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

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 carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’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.
