Q: How often do you need to replace the carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>Decent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">carpet will last</a> around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You&rsquo;ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.</p></div>

Q: How much gap do you need for transition strips?

• <div><p>Most transition strips measure two to five inches wide, but it varies by floor type. The right gap for your flooring depends on the look you prefer. A wider gap allows more room for expansion, whereas a narrower gap requires a smaller transition strip but leaves less expansion room. You should have at least a one-inch gap between any floor types, but sometimes more.</p></div>

Q: How do you install carpet without a stretcher?

• <div><p>The knee kicker tool that attaches carpet to tack strips offers some stretching capabilities, so you can use this and your own arm strength to stretch out thinner carpets across a room. But you should buy or rent a stretcher for the best possible carpet application. If you don&rsquo;t want to buy or rent a stretcher, it may be worth it to skip the DIY and leave this job to the pros or risk shortening the life of your new carpet by installing it without a stretcher.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix bubbling carpet?

• <div><p>The correct method to fix bubbling carpet depends on the cause. If the bubbles are caused by moisture, drying out the carpet can help flatten it. Otherwise, a pro might need to restretch or reinstall the carpet to fix the issue.</p></div>

Q: When should I repair versus clean versus remove and replace my carpeting?

• <div><p>There are a few things to think about if you&rsquo;re deciding whether to repair or replace your carpeting. For starters, consider the extent of the damage and the age of your carpet. If there are minor rips and snags and your carpet is still relatively new, it might make more sense to just replace the affected section. Otherwise, if your carpet is nearing that decade mark or has widespread damage, it&rsquo;s more logical to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">replace your carpet</a> entirely.</p></div>
