"It was a pleasure working with the owners and staff at Young Brothers. They were efficient and professional but we never felt rushed to make a decision. In addition to the carpeting and hard wood we purchased at their store, they also helped us coordinate with the Tile Shop and took care of those materials as well. I can’t say enough about the quality of their products and the excellent contractors they used to install the flooring. The crews were always on time and often went over and above to make sure things were installed properly. Bud and Greg kept in contact throughout the process making suggestions and answering questions. I highly recommend Young Brothers."

"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."

"We're moving into a new house and after the previous owners moved out we realized the carpets were really dirty. I called Sears and they were able to squeeze us into their schedule. The team didn't a great job getting the carpets cleaned."

"It turned out fine. We have used them in the past too. They were nice and they were able to get out a couple of stains. Two carpet cleaners came out and they stayed for about an hour. They were pleasant and I am comfortable with having them in my home."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

The cost to install carpet is $1,780 on average for 330 square feet, the size of an average living room. This cost could range from $200 to $5,000, depending on the amount of carpet, material, and type of carpet. 

If you need 500 square feet of carpet, it’ll cost $1,500 to $5,500, while 1,000 square feet of carpet costs $3,000 to $11,000. Polyester is one of the more affordable options, ranging from $1 to $3 per square foot. Wool is a more luxurious option, ranging from $4 to $20 per square foot

Installing carpet on stairs involves a lot more cutting, tucking, tack strips, and time. The shape of your staircase, along with the material and construction of the carpet you’re installing, will also increase the cost. Carpet installation on stairs will cost $400 to $800 in total, but it can go as high as $2,500 for difficult staircases, such as wrap-around, upholstered, or spiral staircases.

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

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.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.
