"Very well, but the store was tardy to deliver the pad. Installers were timely, but had to wait for the pad. Very good price on the carpet which was low end (for a rental unit)."

"
Bob from Creative Flooring was both courteous, punctual, and fair in his pricing. We were thrilled with the service and timeliness of our
installation. Creative Flooring also does tile work, which we will be using them for in the near future. I highly recommend this company, and any of the providers they may recommend, as I am sure they are as good as Creative Flooring, or they would not recommend them."

"Called FloorTech of SC after carpet installer I initially hired, backed out. Initial installer (names withheld) came to look at the job with 3 helpers and told me he couldn't do the job, because it was going to take more that 1 day. This left me desperate! I found FloorTech of SC on Angie's List, called them and the owner showed up within 2 hours to look at the job. I needed the job done quickly, so FloorTech of SC came out on a Sunday (owner and 1 helper) and finished the job in about 3.5 hours. Very reasonable price, too! I will hire them for all my flooring needs! Thank you John for bailing me out and getting the job done!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

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.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.

Taking carpet off stairs is an easy but multi-step process you can usually do yourself. If you have the right tools, time, and oomph to finish the job, removing carpet from stairs can be an easy-to-medium difficulty task, depending on your stairs, the type of carpet installed, and how willing you are to get your hands dirty. It’s important to review the process, gather the right tools before you begin, and follow a tutorial or directions while you work.
