"The rep showed up on time and was very personable. The appointment was around 8pm which was kind of annoying but that wasn't his fault. He asked what my objective was as he could see that the home was an active construction site. I told him I was a professional investor and this was either going to be a rental or flip, depending on budget. He explained he could get me a wholesale account rate since the home was owned by a business., but he had to call someone in management to get this pricing. The guy didn't answer, almost certainly because by now the clock was pushing 9pm. While we were waiting he punched some numbers in his computer and told me that if he hadn't had this great idea my price for 2 small bedrooms, a small landing and 12 stairs would have been almost $2500. Lucky me. Then after waiting awhile I told him we could both leave since I had a family I would like to see before 11pm and he could call or text me when he got pricing. He said that was not advisable because he had to get everything done in person if I wanted to hit my job deadline. OK. Finally the guy calls back, and the rep relayed what my special pricing was going to be. I told him it was too high and I needed it to be a couple hundred less to hit my budget, and I was going to make a couple more calls, but if his deal was the best I would call him back. He responded by saying he knew I would because that was basically the best carpet price ever quoted for my size job. Then he said I might be able to find cheaper but you can also buy a car for really cheap if it has no wheels. Luckily I was able to locate some carpet elsewhere that I would compare to a car that has wheels, looks and feels really nice, and met my budget. Like I said, nice guy but if I'm being honest I could have done without the whole experience."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.

To prevent your dining room carpet from slipping, consider using rug pads or grippers underneath to provide traction and stability. Additionally, ensure the carpet is properly sized and secured to the floor to minimize movement. Regularly check and readjust the rug to maintain its position and safety under your dining room table.

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.

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 buying carpet at certain times of year when it’s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.
