Is it cheaper to lay carpet or carpet tiles?

• <div><p>Carpet tiles are less expensive than traditional carpet. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">cost of carpet installation</a> is $1,800, or $3 to $11 per square foot. In comparison, carpet tiles cost $2.50 to $11 apiece and can often be bought in bulk cartons. Since you can more easily DIY carpet tiles, you may be able to save on installation costs, too. </p></div>

What happens if you don’t put padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a> over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.</p></div>

How long does carpet stretching last?

• <div><p>Carpet stretching isn’t permanent, but it can last anywhere from two to six years. The longevity of this project depends on the quality of the carpet and whether it’s in a high-traffic area. You might not be able to stretch old or damaged carpets because they can tear. Certain fibers, like nylon, stretch better than others.</p></div>

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>

Fantastic! Billy was prompt, personable and professional, and he did a fantastic job. Honestly, I thought I was going to have to replace the carpet in a few rooms but they turned out looking brand new. Highly recommend Quality Carpet Cleaning of Memphis if you need your carpets cleaned!

Its a good grade of carpet and has a really good padding. I like the carpet but its not what I picked out. That's the contractors fault not the Rug Shop's. They cut a piece crooked in my closet and came the very next day and fixed it. They were really nice guys and I think they did really...

They came at a reasonable time and acted very professionally. One of the workers cleaned the upholstery on the couch, and 3 recliners, while the other one cleaned the carpet and area rug. As I have allergies and asthma, I went into my shop. When they were through cleaning I went back to the room...

I made a mistake with my initial review. It was Steve and Pat that refinished my floors, not Chris. Chris was my initial contact and removed the carpet. But it was Steve'steam that transformed my floors.

The carpet was torn by the back entrance by our cat. I wasn't sure if it could be repaired. Since Horry Carpet and Tile installed the carpet in 2008, I called them first. Mr. Jenerette came out on the day I scheduled and said that one of his installers could stretch the carpet and ...
